Herbert Berg Florist

Great service, A++ designs! I would proudly recommend Herbert Berg Florist to all of my family and friends.

I recently ordered flowers for a wake. Although beautiful, they were not what I expected. Yes, I know I authorize substitutions when what is shown is not available. What was delivered did not represent my selection al all. I DID NOT use a FTD service but went directly through their site. Lesson learned. Will not use again.

My recommendation is to make sure that this florist explains PRECISELY what you’re getting for your money when you hire them for your wedding. Don’t let them get away with «oh we’ll use some of this and some of this and some of this and you’ll have lovely arrangements». Ask for examples, ask them to make sample centerpiece, ensure that the number of blossoms in your bouquet is spelled out specifically.
I will say that for the most part the flowers were fine. Nothing special, nothing great. My bridesmaids bouquets were the prettiest of all the arrangements. My bouquet was a huge disappointment. I asked for all picasso calla lillies. I gave them a photo of what I wanted. The photo had about 36 blossoms. The bouquet they delivered had about 18. My guests and my photographer mistakenly thought that the $ 225.00 arrangement that was placed on the fireplace mantle was something that had been included free from the venue (that’s how unremarkable it was). I didn’t even notice it.
So, I guess my advise would be to verify, verify, verify. I blame myself for not making sure that everything was spelled out. But when you provide a picture and the person taking the order says, «we can do that» you assume that you’re getting what you’ve asked for. Had I known that my pieces would be about ½ of what I expected I likely would have spent a bit more and gone somewhere else.
