Only 1 flower was accurate from the described picture I have ordered online. Yes, it was during Valentine when I ordered, but should be no exception for how different the bouquet turned out. If there is limited amount of the flower, then that should be considered prior to uploading each bouquet on the website(Especially during high flower season).

In person, when I had visited the flower shop to confront my concerns/situation, the owner was unprofessional. I understand the owner was tired from valentine week but could have handled with more respect towards customers.

Flowers were never delivered. I sent an email asking about the status that evening at around 6pm. Then that night at midnight, I received an email stating that the flowers had been delivered without any further response to my 6pm email.

Now I have no idea what to do. I asked them to call me but haven’t heard back. I tried calling them at 6pm but got no response. The number appears to be someone’s cell phone.

While the flowers were beautiful they looked nothing like the photo except color. I understand that seasonally flowers can change but it felt like the order was missed and created at the last minute, especially as they weren't delivered until almost 5pm and after I had called twice.The shop was nice on the phone but I had hoped they would have been there most of the day for the recipient.

The flowers look very beautiful. As in the picture. Delivery instructions were followed, order to a hotel before the stay and the German love message was handwritten.
My wife was very surprised and overwhelmed by the flowers.
A clear recommendation.

I've been ordering from Essex flowers for years and they never disappoint. Delivered beautiful flowers early Mothers day. And the wife was so happy. I will always choose Essex flowers over any others.

They were beautiful and incredible quick with delivery - I ordered around 9:30am and it was crafted and delivered before 3:00pm. The recipient was overjoyed and deeply moved, and she loved the arrangement. Highly recommend!

Had a last minute idea to buy someone close to me flowers. Picked this nice little arrangement and they had it delivered the next day. Even made sure to get it inside the building since there was no buzzer. Great service

I ordered flowers for a family member in the hospital. The website was easy to work with and the order was easy. I appreciated the ability for special requests on the website as well. The delivery fee was less than I anticipated and I was able to get them delivered the following day. She loved her flowers and I would definitely order from this shop again. The arrangement was slightly different than pictured but it was clear when ordering this might occur. There were actually more blooms than pictured on what I ordered so I did not feel cheated or disappointed.

I had orders flowers (from Ohio) to be delivered day of for a family member who had lost several loved ones recently. In about an hours time, the flowers were delivered at their home and were just beautiful!! I will also mention, this order was placed late afternoon. So happy with my experience.

These guys are fantastic. We had inadvertently used an incorrect address in NYC for client when was supposed to be Brooklyn and they redelivered for FREE and still on-time. Use them, nothing worse than a company that doesn't appreciate your business - they do!

I ordered these flowers for a friend. They were delivered about 11/2 hours after I ordered on line. She sent me a photo of them. They were gorgeous! I’m always hesitant to order flowers from a florist I’m not familiar with, but this was a great choice!

This is a wonderful business with great customer service and reliability. Should the available blooms not match the image of what you want, or they can't deliver on the day desired day, one of the staff will call and let you know.
Their bouquets are beautiful and long-lasting.

Flowers were not the same, card was incorrect, reflected a wrong name, no envelope or anything that even reflected what florist they came from. I won't order flowers online again, I am convinced there needs to be a discussion about the flowers and the card. My confirmation was correct, but nothing else, card was not only wrong but looked like it was written by a child.

Thank you for again delivering the flowers in a very timely manner. Although this arrangement did not include the red berries (I assume they were not available), the lavender flowers that were substituted were a nice addition. I will continue ordering from your business as I can trust your commitment to meeting the schedule and delivering a lovely arrangement! Thank you.

Many thanks for delivering a beautiful arrangement of bright flowers for a very special occasion! I appreciate the fact that the surprise was delivered when requested, too. The flowers will add to the opening of a new art exhibit at this gallery where my daughter was the curator. Thank you so much for adding to this event!
