Defiantly you can trust Nina with your floral needs, she’s a rockstar.
I took a funny photo as i Drove past her store late on a friday night. It still looked inviting from the street when closed.
Walked in to order a bouquet of flowers, asking the lady what flowers would look nice together or to give some suggestions or even price range of flowers. (I do not have any knowledge of flowers so walking in was intimidating itself).
Expecting the florist to give me suggestions as to what flowers would work or even talk about the price range, she did not give me the time of day and told me to go pick some out myself. Shocked and confused in the lack of help, I walked out.
I phoned and chatted with the florist on Tuesday; specifying my order requirements. She assured me she had fresh flowers daily and could meet my specifics for a beautiful large bouquet of unique flowers for my elderly mums birthday. I arrived at the agreed time to collect, and experienced an incredible sense of underwhelm. I had placed a significant order and was presented with something that my 12 year son could have arranged better, and the blooms were far from anything special, as well as being largely overbalanced by 2 oversized magnolia foliage cuttings. The woman clearly lacked any great floristry ability or understanding of the brief. The order was clearly filled with last weeks leftover stock, despite my only real request was the flowers must all be fresh that day. It's just so very disappointing... especially for my mum. After only 3 days, over half the bouquet was dead. Just so bad!
I will never buy here again.
