| - This is not your momma's florist. Willow delivers fresh, full, crowded, unique arrangements to die for! These are the kind of creations you drool over in fancy bridal magazines and such. Worth EVERY penny.
I first saw their arrangements at--of all places--a funeral, and the creation I saw was unbelievably gorgeous. There were numerous other lovely arrangements there from other area florists, but they were your typical thing. Willow's arrangement stood out like a lovely thumb.
I used Willow for the first time yesterday, and I'm so glad I did! My friend was really down-in-the-dumps, and I decided she needed a pick-me-up. This would be a good excuse to try Willow.
I spoke with Tricia and told her the situation. With a creative florist like this one, I like to give them creative free rein, so I told her I wanted something cheerful and colorful, using whatever is really fresh today. She started listing the lovely selections of hydrangeas and roses and such, which all sounded great.
I was pleasantly surprised when Tricia said she could deliver my arrangement this afternoon, especially considering it was about 10:30 AM, and the delivery address was way up in northeast Charlotte--a little on the border of their delivery range.
Well, long story short . . . My friend received her arrangement at about 4pm that same day, and was just head-over-heels in love with them. She said all of her co-workers were insanely jealous, which is always a nice bonus.
I spent $75. Was that more than I might have spent at a "typical" florist? Maybe. But I've spent 5 times that much on a single arrangement, and this $75 one was the most beautiful I've ever had the joy of giving.
My one regret? That she wasn't around for my wedding 19 years ago.
