Lotus Designs Florist

Jimmie did the flowers for our September wedding at the UMass Club and they were absolutely stunning. He was excellent to work with from start to finish and was very flexible with our tight schedule being that we live in San Diego and only traveled to Boston a couple times before the wedding. I was really looking for a florist who could understand my style and create that look. I don’t know very much about flowers, and I wanted someone that could use their artistry to bring the style I wanted together. Jimmie definitely did this! At our first meeting, I told Jimmie our style (elegant, classic, Victorian) and our colors (blush pink and gold) and he knew exactly what to do. He went to the back and in 10 minutes came out with the exact bouquet I was looking for. At our second meeting, he did the same thing with the centerpiece which was lush with beautiful cream and blush flowers. I like that he did a rundown of all the flowers we would need to make the ceremony and reception beautiful, but didn’t try to sell us on a bunch of stuff we didn’t need. My mom actually tried to add some things and he was like «nah»…and he was right. The day of the wedding, Jimmie came to our hotel to drop of the bouquets and corsages and worked directly with the venue to take care of all the flowers there. Walking into my reception, the flowers looked elegant and lush and exactly what I wanted. It seemed like each centerpiece had hundreds of flowers in it. We got a ton of compliments on the centerpieces and the guests argued over who got to take them home and they were all scooped up at the end of the night. Most importantly, the ceremony and reception looked like we had paid an arm and leg for everything and we didn’t! I did a bit of shopping around for the right florist before choosing Lotus and every other florist I looked at wanted way more than what Jimmie wanted. That being said, these were not «flowers on a budget.» In fact, they were way more than what I was expecting and really accentuated the classy and elegant style we were looking for. I’d highly recommend Lotus Designs for your Boston wedding!
Pictures to follow in a few weeks…

After a few years of spending significantly more and gettting less from Winstons I switched to Lotus. Beautiful HUGE arragement that would have cost $ 200 from Winstons for half the cost at Lotus.
Upon delivery I was mistakenly sent 2 arrangements and my credit card was charged twice. I told the delviery driver that I only requested one, Jimmy immediately called — refunded the extra charges to my CC within 24 hours. Perfect flowers, perfect customer service. You won’t be dissapointed by Lotus.

Customer service=AMAZING! I am a personal assistant and work for several clients across the country. I spend my days making appointments, researching, and purchasing things (basically I am on the horn all day talking to people.) The customer service I experienced was top notch and definitely above and beyond, definitely something that you don’t see every day.
A client wanted to have flowers delivered for a special occasion. I spoke with Jimmie, the owner, and can describe him in three words — passionate, peppy and hilarious! During my 10 minute conversation with him, I laughed approximately 42 times.
I mentioned to Jimmie that I chose him because he had excellent Unilocal reviews. His response? «I did that all on my own, I didn’t even have to pay anyone.» Ha! I love this guy!
The feedback from my client was very positive. He said that the flowers were perfect and he was very happy with my choice to use Lotus Designs Florist. Great customer service AND beautiful flowers — thanks Jimmie!
Although I use Unilocal all the time to scope out business both for my profession and my personal life but rarely write reviews. I couldn’t avoid writing this one — Jimmie was just that awesome.

The flowers for our daughter’s wedding were stunning! They were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen at a wedding. One of the staff members at the venue commented to me that she has worked at the venue for 20 years, and has never seen flowers like this — including her own daughter’s wedding! We were mesmerized by the beauty and elegance in and around the tent. The flowers were exactly what we wanted and more! The flower arrangements on the sweetheart and card tables were spectacular! The church was gorgeous. Jimmy accessorized the church to show its historical beauty! We know Jimmy spent countless hours and it showed in every party of the wedding. Jimmy’s commitment is inspiring, and his talent and creativity are truly gifts from God. Jimmy is a gem! More than flowers, Jimmy was an absolute dream to work with! Jimmy created the wedding I had always dreamed of having for my daughter.

Jimmie did the flowers for our wedding in June, and everything turned out so well — we were completely thrilled. We appreciated that he took a ton of time to work with us on ideas and really find exactly what we wanted. His prices were so reasonable for what he gave us, and we couldn’t be happier that we used him for such a special day.

My wife and I recently had Jimmie do the flowers for our wedding, and from the moment we stepped into his store, we knew it was the right fit for us. Jimmie held our hands the entire way through, showing us what worked and what didn’t, and basically teaching us from scratch. He listened to our budget, and frankly I can’t believe what we got for the price! We got so many wonderful compliments on our arrangements. We’re definitely going to Lotus for all of our needs in the future. It doesn’t hurt that Jimmie himself is quite the charming character :)

Jimmie put together a spot-​on bridal bouquet and some dapper boutonnieres for my groom and our parents. He did it efficiently and replicated exactly what I wanted based on photos I had shown him. Then, he delivered the flowers at precisely the time we needed them, very early in the morning.
Bonus: The flowers came with excellent advice for married couples. Ask Jimmie when you see him.

Lotus Designs just rocks. I ordered flowers on-​line to be delivered to the rehab hospital my mom was sent to after hip replacement. They far exceeded what I thought she would receive. She talked non-​stop about how beautiful and amazing these flower were. My sister who lives in the area was amazed at such a great arrangement and wanted to know how I ever discovered this gem. Unilocal to the rescue. I will certainly be using these amazing florist in the future to send flowers to my mom even at home.

Jimmy is a genius. He has artistic flair which I so appreciate, yet incredible restraint. We’ve used him for very large pieces, funerals unfortunately, and the designs he pulls together are STUNNING. I told him almost exactly what I wanted in terms of flowers and colors, and he delivered pitch perfect.
Further, his flowers have lasted the longest out of all the arrangements we’ve received. He is a sheer joy to work with, and I’ll continue to use him again and again and again — hopefully for happier occasions!
Thank you Jimmy for yet another knockout job!

Attentive to detail w arguably the freshest flowers, and they will honestly surpass your expectations.

Ordered 3 small arrangements for a friend’s baby shower. I live in another state and ordered over the phone. Peter took my order, was as kind as could be, and translated exactly what I wanted into a beautiful, classic, white arrangement. I don’t often see orchids in a more compact arrangement and they looked amazing in these. The flowers were priced very reasonably, delivery was on time.
The best part was, during the phone order, someone asked Peter a question, and he politely said «hold a second» to me, then replied to the other person, «nah he had to park the car.» I call Boston companies once a year at most, so how often does one get to hear this classic phrase signifying one of the most distinct accents!!!

What a wonderful experience. The guy who runs the place is lovely. We asked for an arrangement for $ 75 – 100 for my GFs mom’s birthday and very quickly he produced the best one i’ve ever seen. Not only that, but he even gave my GF a rose for being so pretty (I appreciated that).
To illustrate why Lotus is the only flower shop I will ever by from again in Boston, take a look at this picture of the Lotus arrangement (left) with one that cost the same from Winston’s on Newbury (right)

Ordered again last week and once again the arrangement was incredible.
I only wish i lived there so I could use this great business more often!
Many many thanks… you are awesome!

Love Lotus design florists!
It’s a great place for buying beautiful and fresh flowers! David is making wonderful bouquets so every time I need one I go there:)

Jimmie did a beautiful job on the flowers for my July wedding – my guests still comment on how amazing the centerpieces turned out.
I would recommend providing Jimmie with examples of flower arrangements you like and any specific flowers/​greenery you would like used in your arrangement. A week or two prior to your wedding Jimmie will create ‘test’ arrangements and bouquets so you can see exactly what the arrangements will look like the day of your wedding.
Thank you Jimmie!

Just picked up a last minute bouquet for graduation — Jimmy (i hope i got the name right) created an amazing set for $ 40. I would’ve never bought anything this good anywhere else. Just found my go-​to florist. Thanks. Im gonna post a picture too for anyone to see.

Stopped in last minute only because of good reviews on Unilocal.Never heard or noticed it as I drive by almost daily. I looked around the shop and the flowers looked fresh and healthy. The florist helped us immediately. I was expecting him to ask what flowers I liked or didn’t like. He asked what I wanted to spend and was off pulling something together for $ 60. When he came back (i’m not a flower person — i only buy when i need to like holidays or going to someone’s house) and I was blown away how it looked and the volume for the price. I will definitely go back!

Love these guys. Beautiful arrangements and great customer service. Moderately priced and fast delivery. I just call them how much I want to spend and colors I like. They handle the rest.

I had a friend who broke her arm in a mugging, and I wanted flowers to get there as soon as possible. It was Saturday night though. After calling one florist who said she couldn’t have them there till Monday, and another florist that was closed, I called Lotus. At 5:10 on a Saturday night they said they could make same day delivery happen. I was so happy.
They arrived an hour and a half later all the way out in Jamaica Plain, and for that they deserve no less than 5 stars.
Thank you Lotus!

I ordered flowers from Jimmy at Lotus for my sister having surgery for a broken leg at Mass General. I called late on a Saturday and it was delivered within an hour to her room. I live in LA so I went strictly off the Unilocal reviews. I highly recommend them.
