Indulge & Bloom

We are planning our planning for next year and stopped by twice at the Indulge & Bloom stand at the Wedding Fair in the Convention Center. They had actually gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces, boutannieres, et al set up. They were really the best florist at the fair.
It’s just their customer service. It stank. After being ignored a couple times by the saleswomen standing literally two feet from us who didn’t give us the time of day, we finally interrupted the salesman who was feasting on the free victuals from the nearby Famous Dave’s booth. He was disinterested as he replied to us with chunks of cornbread coming out of his mouth about their various bouquets.
We were still interested in setting up an appointment so he just gave us their card and that was it. He didn’t bother getting our information which… why do they have a booth to begin with?
Leaving a little annoyed/​disappointed, we had that discussion of «what would you rather have; beautiful flowers and arrangements or good customer services?»
We decided that we’d rather lower our standards of beauty if it means that we will get at least a modicum of proper service. Since it wasn’t just the one employee, but the whole gaggle of people working the booth, we are set to assume this is the corporate culture and not one we’d ever indulge again.

Great place for a quick gift!
I was in the neighborhood for something else and needed a birthday gift for a friend, so I popped in. I’d been in here a few times just to look around, but this time I knew just what I needed.
The people working are very nice and they have a great selection of gifts and flowers. My default gift for people is usually a picture frame and they had a perfect one.
I was in and out in no time, but that’s because I was in a hurry. If I had more time I’d browse all the great kitchy items. Reminds me of a Patina with fresh flowers and I always love Patina.

If your looking for a floral arrangement that’s a little more unique you might want to consider «Indulge and Bloom». They have a nice selection of fresh cut flowers and arrangements to choose from. The employees were helpful and accommodating with me when I choose an arrangement and decided on colors.
Prices and delivery fees seemed very competitive. It felt to me that they put a little more «personal touch» into everything since they’re a smaller shop. I don’t send flowers often unless it’s for a special occasion but next time I’m in need of one you’ll see me browsing at «Indulge and Bloom».

Being short on time, I met with Tara, floral designer extraordinaire at the Uptown location, just once to work on ideas for my wedding bouquet, floral arrangements, etc. this fall. She was receptive to what I liked and what I didn’t, along with my personal style. Then she said, «don’t worry! I’ve got it all set for you!» I guess many brides would worry as I had no idea what my bouquet and the flower arrangements would look like but somehow her calm yet creative demeanor assured me she knew what she was doing so I let her just do her thing.
Everything was PERFECT. She did an amazing job despite my limited budget. I truly believe she interpreted my style, color and flower preferences perfectly and I am so lucky to have found such an amazing florist with such an eye for detail, texture, and color. She also arrived on time to the event, set up without delay and was very professional to work with. I know not all brides have positive experiences with their florists and I feel really lucky I chose Indulge and Bloom.

Stoped in here right before the holiday season to look for gifts. Indulge&Bloom have a great selection of fresh cut flowers and arrangements as well as potted plants. Arrangements are never cheap but i felt the prices here were fair and the flowers looked healthy and the arrangements were thickly filled and well put together.
They have a lot of other fun items from funky jewelry, to Johnathan Adler home décor and Umbra picture items.
The staff are very helpful, I inquired about a terrarium, they had a simple medium sized one priced at $ 18 with one type of plant inside. I asked if they would make a custom terrarium? Yes they would, and if I could bring in my own vessel/​container? Yep, that was Ok too. The price would vary depending on the size and types of plants i wanted in it but the sales associate assured me they could complete a custom one in about 3 days.
I’m ready to go back and get my custom arrangement as well as some seasonal plants for more home décor.
