The Enchanted Garden Florist

Came in here looking for something really simple, small, and reasonably priced. One of the employees asked if I needed help and I told her what I wanted and my price range. She was offended at my price range and just said ‘No.” Then told me the cheapest item they have was two, not two dozen, two single roses for $ 15 (I walked by a market on the way there that had a dozen for $ 18, but I wasn’t looking for roses). I pointed to the smallest orchid they had (about a foot tall and 3 – 4 small blooms) and she said it was $ 45.
I’ve worked in two flower shops, as the delivery guy but still know prices and these prices are way too high. I’d understand those prices if this was a really nice shop with friendly people and a good selection, but this shop is a dusty hole in the wall in a kind of run down strip of other shops.
Just be warned, there are many other places with better prices and a better selection.

I was a very confused bride. I can admit that. I know what I wanted my flowers to look like. But I didn’t know quite how to verbalize it.
I didn’t know the names of any flowers and I didn’t know what was in style. I didn’t know what kinds of things held the flowers together, I didn’t know who warranted a boutonnière in my family, and I didn’t know how many arrangements would be suitable for my venue.
And no I also didn’t purchase every single mag at the bookstore, I had the one mag that my girlfriend subscribed for me when I got engaged and three books I bought but never got through reading.
So when it came to flower styles, how many, how much it should cost and who should get what and all that I was clueless.
All I could do was look at pictures and point like a 2 year old and what I liked and didn’t like. And say more of this or less of that. Pretty much. And somehow Emily took my pointing and more of this and less of this and my request for sparkles and some bling and made my bouquets perfect and my flower arrangements perfect. And she worked with my mother who was a bit momzila (sorry mom) (as I was the last daughter to get married and the oldest) and my indecisiveness (do I need a boutonnière thing for that aunt?) and my last minute add-​ons (oh, I forgot an uncle) up to the day before my wedding without blinking an eye, ever.
And she never got upset or annoyed with me for one second. And even though I barely gave her any logistical info she figured it all out.
And was super reasonable. And didn’t yell at me when I lost the urns. Which I still need to pay her for.
Yes she was the best you could ask for.
OH and the flowers were beautiful, like they were out of a magazine, if you don’t believe me she will bring binders and binders of sample pictures!!! Yes she is the perfect florist!
