Mid-Valley Florist

I am extremely disappointed in this florist. I should have used Swenson & Silacci out of Salinas, but thought I would use a local florist especially since many of her Unilocal reviews were positive. I placed my order the day before for my friend’s birthday. By 3:30pm I had not heard anything so I called Mid-​Valley florist and before I gave any information, she informed the delivery person just left. I asked how do you know which flowers I’m calling about and she said again the delivery person left 10 minutes ago and should be at my friend’s place of work in Camel Valley. I assumed I must have been the only delivery as I confirmed the address and she said yes. Then by 3:50pm, I received a text message from my friend with a picture of the bouquet and balloon and the arrangement looked terrible. Although, she was thanking me (I’m sure she was just being nice) I was embarrassed that she received such a terrible display. I e-​mailed the florist with my dissatisfaction and send them the picture from «their website» and the «actual» flowers delivered to give her an opportunity to respond first. Nancy called me at approximately 6:45pm and sounded concerned. She said she used the «recipe» that Teleflora gives them and could send it to me. I told her I do not want the recipe and completely understand if substitutions to be used, but the «actual» flower arrangement was not even close. She said they did not have any bright pink flowers. She continued that the delivery is $ 10, the balloon is $ 5 and that only leaves $ 32 for her to work with which isn’t much. I informed her that the cost is not my issue, but that the quality should at very least resemble the picture. She said she was willing to «go and pick up» the arrangement that was delivered and then replace it with something else. At this point, I was exhausted in dealing with someone who seemed un-​cooperative and only interested in the money end of it. Her solution of picking up someone’s flowers and then replacing them seems out of this world. I think a better solution would be to either delivery a nicer arrangement (and not pick up someone’s flowers, I mean what is she going to do with them) or refund the customer’s money. I could tell she was more concerned with making a profit and for that she can have my $ 50 bucks. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!!!

owner went above and beyond to deliver the most beautiful bridal bouquet. Thank you a million, I would highly recommend using her services!!!

Nancy is always helpful, and attentive. Listens to what the customer wants… and goes, ‘above and beyond the call of duty!’. Produced lovely flower arrangements for my mom Rose, and always stopped to pet my dog ‘Niko’…as he and I walked along Mission St. on the way to the Beach!

I found Nancy using Unilocal. I ordered flowers for my girlfriend who lives in the area. I left it to Nancy’s discretion to put together a colorful arrangement at an agreed upon price. The flowers were a big hit and lasted quite a while. I just used her again and wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future.

Nancy did a great job! I ordered flowers and she made an arrangement that was exactly what i wanted and described to her.

Nancy and I have done business now a few times and although we had a slight problem, Nancy has made up for it more than I could have possibly expected.
I am very happy to say I was WRONG! Nancy does care extremely for her customers past and present.
I will be doing future business with Nancy and I urge anyone on Unilocal to do it as well.
You won’t be disappointed!
I will post the pictures, WOW

I received the birthday cake and love, love it! Such a beautiful arrangement! I“d
highly recommend it. Delivering it was a little complicated (Carmel does not have
street addresses) but she worked with my son and it worked out.
Still smiling on the gift.

On July 26, 2014, I looked for an online florist to deliver some anniversary flowers the next day, a Sunday. I thought national online florists would simply contact a local florist and take care of me. All sorts of discounts were available, but when it came to delivery, the shipping costs equaled the flower cost. And, a national carrier would be used. Hmmm, I wondered, ‘How would the flower’s look after a delivery by a guy in a rush?’ I started hunting in Carmel, CA for a local florist and found Nancy at Mid-​Valley Florist’s. She said she could help me and even deliver on Sunday. It was my 46^th Anniversary, so Nancy went beyond the call of duty and delivered more value than what I paid for in plenty of time for the Il Fornaio Restaurant to have them placed on the table. Not only did Nancy include extra flowers, but she used a beautiful Red Vase (that I took credit for initially when my wife asked if I chose the vase). My wife was very pleased and we definitely call on Nancy again. Nancy even called me the next day to make sure I was pleased. Yes, Indeed, I would recommend using Nancy for your flowery needs. Her arrangement was beautiful and creative too. John D.

I am extremely disappointed with the arrangement that was delivered to my home. Had iI been the one who answered the door, I would not have accepted it. I also feel badly, for the person that sent the arrangement. Now I have to thank them for something that is truly not true. Basic problem is roses wilting by second day, garish contain and lack of creativity. Needless to say, I can’t recommend this florist.

Omg, Nancy is so freakin awesome and friendly! She did an excellent job with our arch, bouquets, etc… love love love her! My bouquet was gorgeous! She did exactly what I asked her to do!

Nancy is a sweetheart but recently the quality of the flowers and work has gone down the tubes. Over the years, I’ve given Nancy a ton of business and referrals. She is capable of creating some amazing arrangements. However, mismanagement of time and resources has left me with a few terrible experiences and I wouldn’t recommend her services.
The past few orders, I received arrangements that were not even close to what was expected. They were cheap, poorly put together, and I could have done 10x better had I bought the flowers myself at Safeway. Further, on a couple occasions the flowers were delivered a day late. The final straw was that she charged me more than the quoted price for the flowers that I thought were cheap, delivered late, and died within 3 days. I’m really disappointed and bummed.

Nancy is amazing. I needed some last minute flowers and she stayed open a few minutes past closing while I ran to meet her. She’s just a happy, friendly lady, and I’ll surely go back if I needed flowers again in Carmel!

Nancy is a treat to work with. Not only is she sweet and pleasant, she’s hardworking and really cares about her customers. She did the flowers for our small wedding, and she had no problem incorporating special ribbons and lanterns and other small things I’d previously selected into the arrangements. She said she had fun attaching the feather butterflies I’d picked out, and she did an excellent job. My bouquet was truly beautiful. I showed her photos of what I wanted, and she interpreted it all into something really special.
I just wish that I had been able to be there when she made the flower delivery so I could have thanked her personally. I also wish she lived in my home town! I’d use her for everything. She’s also very reasonably priced.

Nancy did all of the ceremony flowers for our wedding. They were stunningly beautiful and completely reasonably priced. Most importantly, Nancy was so nice and wonderful throughout the whole process and totally understood our vision. We were doing our own arrangements for the reception and she even gave us guidance on what flowers to buy for the arrangements free of charge. She is just so great! We feel very lucky to have had her be a part of our special day and will be using her for all of our flower needs from now on.

No one answered the phone. I tried the localnumber then the 800 no answering machine either.

Nancy was absolutely incredible during our wedding weekend. We were married the day before Mother’s Day so you can imagine how busy Nancy’s shop was that weekend– but she never let us feel neglected! She was so sweet to us and worked with our ideas and our budget. The arrangements were stunning and exactly as we’d hoped. Thank you for all of your help! xx

Nancy is awesome!
Very warm and friendly! Awesome smile. Get your arrangements here!

I ordered flowers for mother’s day on Monday. I went with the «premium» version from their website as I was traveling. I get home Thursday thinking all is good. They promised to deliver the flowers on Saturday (probably later in the day). I made sure to note they should leave the flowers if we weren’t home.
Saturday about 3pm, still no flowers. I called and they said they were «really backed up and we’d be on the dogleg, probably later that day». They had apparently had to shut off orders on Friday, as they were overwhelmed.
Saturday came and went. And then Sunday too. Sunday 9pm, I’m in the doghouse, when who shows up to deliver flowers? Yep, it’s them. And the vase wasn’t even that nice. The flowers I’d rate a 3 out of 5. Guess I was the dog. I feel bad for the last 3 deliveries.
I will NEVER use this florist again. If they can’t figure out how to deliver all the flowers in time, then at least use a first-​in-​first-​out schedule. Just because I’m a bit more of a drive (4 miles!!!), it shouldn’t mean I’m last on the list. If you can’t do the job, just admit it and move on.

Nancy was our florist for our wedding on May 15, 2010 at the Memory Garden. Everything was perfect! All the bouquets were GORGEOUS!!! And our sweetheart table centerpiece was AMAZING!!! The flowers were everything I envisioned and more. When we sat at our table, we were pleasantly surprised to find she had added fresh wired flowers to our champagne glasses. She even accommodated last minute additions and changes. She has excellent vision and excellent service. We loved Nancy and our wedding flowers. And her pricing was very reasonable for the quality. We recommend her in a heart beat!

Yes she moved from Mid Valley to into town, however her flower arrangements are still gorgeous! A recommendation I am glad we followed up on! Her rose bouquet for mom’s memorial service was gorgeous. All of the roses were perfect. I would definitely seek her as an option for your floral needs. Additionally, Nancy is a very kind and sweet person. Thank you for contributing to the success and smoothness of our service.
