| - I think I have the worst luck. My mother's birthday is less than a week from Mother's Day. You know what that means? Every time I buy her flowers for her birthday, the price dramatically increases and it never ceases to remind me of how broke I am. But it's mother and whatever mother likes, she shall have.
I typically order her flowers online if I do order them for her birthday. I haven't stepped foot inside a florist since maybe 10 years ago. And I just didn't want to deal with the delivery fee this year so I decided to yelp out a florist. English Garden has amazing reviews and it's close to my work so after work, I headed straight there.
I got greeted shortly as I walked in. Me being me, I started with, "I have a problem." The lady that I talked to was very nice. I told her what my problem was, what I needed, and the requirements. Thing is, my mom likes to receive flowers -- like who doesn't? -- but she has allergies. So I needed something that was a little low on the pollen end of things. She then asked about the colors my mom liked and my budget, and I just said, "I could do $30-35." So she suggested $35 and from there, she started to name roses and tulips along with the colors.
I was a little on edge with the fact that roses will be in them seeing as I'm not a big rose person but we went in to see the flowers. She showed me a beautiful lavender pink tinted rose and I just fell in love. So in the end, we decided on some purple, pink, and white tulips along with the lavender roses. She handed the flowers over to her boss, we discussed the length of the stems due to what kind of vase I have at home, and he started to assemble the bouquet for me.
After waiting for a few, he came with the flowers, and they just looked absolutely amazing. The colors matched and meshed in perfectly. I don't think I've fallen this much in love with a bouquet of flowers in a while. It wasn't too huge and it wasn't too small of a bouquet.
Though, the price was a little steep for the amount of stems in the bouquet but hey, mother's day is around the corner and I could only imagine how expensive roses are during this time. Maybe next time I'll request a non-rose bouquet. Darn that lavender rose for capturing my heart :P!
What I loved most was that I could set the budget. I could also just grab and go without having to make an order ahead of time.
I would definitely come back to this florist if I ever need another bouquet.
