Flowers at Lakeside

AVOID! I ordered flowers 3 days before a funeral because they were one of the closest flower shops. They were delivered 20 minutes after the service began. I should have listened to a previous Unilocal review I read about them not having an order ready when promised.
I would never recommend. This was for a small funeral service and it was very embarrassing that this arrangement was not there. As we were leaving it was out in the lobby. I didn’t call them to ask for a refund, because it’s wasn’t a matter of the money. It is just something that needed to be there on time… and wasn’t. They were located only about a mile away and had 3 days notice. Not a place I would ever do business with again.

I’ll give credit to the easy online ordering. But once I placed the order, my confirmation noted about the substitution policy. That I didn’t see prior to confirming my order. Ok, my bad for not reading everything. But it said if my selection is unavailable, a substitution of comparable quality and value will be delivered. I chose an arrangement of mostly white flowers with a hint of light pink. Nothing too loud. More on the elegant side. Description: «Light pink roses, white asiatic lilies, alstroemeria, cushion spray chrysanthemums and statice.» But instead, an arrangement of a variety of colored flowers with lots of that green filler was in its place. Just looked like someone threw a bunch of flowers into a vase. There was no shape to it. I even upgraded to the premium selection, I was under the impression I would at least get a handful of lilies and roses. There were 3 red roses, (this was for a friend, I didn’t want to give her red roses) and one yellow lily. And a couple other flowers to fill the rest of the vase along with that ugly green stuff, I think it’s fern, which my original selection didn’t have any of. I definitely feel jipped out of a beautiful bouquet. I’ll give them credit for delivering it promptly. But as for the bouquet itself, I’m very disappointed. It was not comparable in quality or value.

Needed an arrangement for a memorial service which I doubted I was going to get since it was after 5pm when I called and it had to be delivered by 10:30 am the following day. They didn’t have the flowers on the picture therefore I had to leave it up to them to improvise. Not only it was delivered on time, it was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Flowers at Lakeside. They know their business.

I received a beautiful arrangement, with a teddy bear and a puppy card. Their flowers are very romantic.

I showed up a week early and placed an order for a nice bouquet to be picked up on Saturday morning. I work nights and asked how early they would be open so I could stay awake and pick them up before I went to bed. The owner (I believe it was her) said they would make them the night before so I could pick them up at 8am (1hour before they open as that was when her assistant showed up to start the Saturday orders)
I showed up at 8:05 and was told my order wasn’t ready and they didnt open till 9:30 and to come back then. so I guess their was a miscommunication somewhere and I was starting to doubt they were going to be my florist on this side of town.
I went and ran some errands and came back to find one of the most beautiful arrangements Ive ever bought for my girlfriend. I guess that alone saved them because I really wanted to write a bad review based solely on my order not being ready but the colors and freshness of the flowers made up for everything.
I will be back and you should too!
