Lawrence The Florist

An Extra-Special Let Down. Ordered flowers to congratulate a friend on a new job. I asked for white calla lilies which they didn't have and was told that they had "nice pink ones" as another option. I was then told that I could make it "pop" by adding roses to the bouquet. What I received did not say "congratulations" at all. Instead, it looked more like I was offering my condolences with a funeral bouquet. They charged me $200 for a bouquet that garnered no attention and no "wow factor" from anyone in the receivers office. And to make matters worse, when I called to express how unhappy I was they told me I could "have the receiver return the flowers to our store and then we'll send something back out." Oh yes, that will make him feel VERY SPECIAL, bringing back a shoddy arrangement so he can exchange them for another bouquet. I don't recommend this place, based on the quality/value of what we received and the unhelpful nature of the staff. We had high hopes and were entirely let down. I won't recommend this to friends and our office won't be using them anymore either.…

Florist With a Special Touch. I first contacted Lawrence the Florist several years ago with a very special order to re-connect with a family member, and John DeWater went above and beyond to make sure that my order was just I as had hoped and was a delight to the receiver. Have been ordering with them every year since, and am not disappointed. It is nice to know that there is a local florist that I can contact online all the way from my home in Japan, and have my order prepared and delivered with care. I would highly recommend Lawrence the Florist to anyone needing flowers in the Bellevue/Seattle area.…
