Athena Flowers

We chose Athena flowers for my father’s funeral and were very pleased that we did. The service we received went above and beyond our expectations. The arrangement was delivered on time and more beautiful than we could have imagined. Thank you again!

Really poor experience with this florist. If I could give negative stars I would. She cancelled my order twice. A friend was going through a really bad time, she had just suffered a really bad loss. I call and ask if I can get same day delivery and was told yes, I provide my CC details while on the phone with the owner only to receive a call 10 minutes later saying that my card didn’t work and that they can no longer deliver the flowers that day (it wasn’t after a cutoff time or anything). I said OK and apologized and said I can provide a different card and the owner just flat out refused and hung up. I promise I’m not making this up, she just hung up with no explanation, didn’t offer me the option to have them delivered a different day just nothing. I decided instead to just place the order online for next day delivery instead since it seemed to much of a hassle for them to deliver that same day. On the day the flowers were to be delivered I receive an email that says this: «Hi,
This is Athena Flowers. We are sorry, but we will not be able to deliver your order today.»
That’s it. No phone call, no explanation of why or suggestions for a different day. No explanation of if they refunded me or not. I explained my friend’s situation and just nothing, no sympathy or anything. They are extremely unprofessional and I would not recommend this place to anyone. If an order is cancelled you need to pick up the phone and let the buyer know, not send a one sentence email that doesn’t explain anything. I’ll be sure to call my bank and verify that I’ve been refunded since that wasn’t told to me. Again, if it weren’t for having to put at least 1 star to write a review they wouldn’t even get that.

Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding flowers! They lasted all day, it’s 6 days later and they’re still beautiful!

I can’t say enough good things about Athena flowers! I found this gem on Unilocal and I’m so happy I did. Gabriella was awesome to work with from bridal bouquets to centerpieces, she absolutely exceeded our expectations! She worked with us to stay within our budget and listened to our every need. I was looking for a specific coral colored rose for my bridesmaid bouquets and she shopped around until she found the perfect one! Our arrangements were gorgeous and we received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Gabby for your beautiful and professional work!

I’m so happy I stepped foot into this place. It’s a family ran business and the employees are super sweet. You tell them a price range, what you’re looking for, and the color scheme and they will build you the most beautiful bouquets ever! The worker was so passionate and knowledgeable about her flowers! She even let me keep an old hydrangea that they were going to toss. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to spoil themselves or loved ones with some quality, hand crafted bouquets.

Just had my wedding this weekend and I gave Gabriella no direction really I just said I want this flower… and fall colors. My bouquet was amazing everyone kept commenting on my flowers and my bridesmaids flowers. She was very helpful and def reasonable prices! I highly recommend

I moved to the neighborhood not long ago and I always drive by. Wanted to get flowers deliver on a Sunday Morning and I stopped by Athena just to check, but expecting a no as an answer since it was a Sunday. Not only she said yes, but she delivered a gorgeous bucket of red roses for a very VERY reasonable price. Amazing service, great customer service. Extremely happy, I will definitely use them again! Thank you!

Gabriella does magic with flowers. They are 5stars for a reason. And now i know why.
She has word of honor. Patient. Understanding. Punctual.
Whatever you are paying, surely its not for the flowers. Coz flowers can be bought everywhere.
My money went to her passion.
It seems like its all she does.
Try and see for yourselves!

Love Love Love the flower shop! Wish I knew about this place when I was getting married as I would totally have used them. Customer service is outstanding. Flower are always beautiful and fresh. They do amazing job with working with your budget and making the arrangement beautiful! This is the place to go to for flowers on every occasion.

This is an amazing florist. Every bouquet from here has been beautiful and lasted for weeks! The prices are reasonable and the staff very friendly and accommodating for last minute requests. Highly recommend!

Athena Flowers totally exceeded my expectations. I needed a corsage for my daughter for a daddy/​daughter dance. Of course, I waited until the last minute to order it. I first called another florist who said it was not going to be possible to find anyone who could do it on such short notice because nobody would be able to get the flowers needed for it. Well, the girl at Athena said it was no problem at all. She made a beautiful corsage in the perfect size for a little girl. I was so grateful because it was my daughter’s very first corsage and she loved it! Thank you for making a lovely event that much more special!

Love this place! They are accommodating, understanding, kind, polite, punctual… I cant say enough about this place. The flowers came on the 9^th of October and today are as fresh as the day they came. Thanks Athena’s Flowers for all you did and how special your arrangement made my Mom and Dads 60^th wedding anniversary!

Gabriella was a dream come true to people like me who are clueless about flowers! She made bridal party arrangements and a couple arrangements for church for my wedding and did a beautiful job. She had suggestions based on a couple pictures I sent her and was easily able to work within my budget. I honestly know little to nothing about flowers so just trusted her opinion and I’m so happy I did. She even hand delivered the flowers to my parents house the morning of the wedding to make sure I was happy which was a very nice touch!

I went in to Athena’s on the Friday before mothers day to place an order for pickup. I ordered them for my brother who wanted to spend $ 100 on a bouquet. When I saw the bouquet on Sunday, I was extremely disappointed. It looked like a $ 60 dollar bouquet. Of course, they added a vase, which I could have mentioned not to. They probably charged $ 15 for that. For $ 100, I received only 8 roses, like really, you couldn’t just do 6 or 12? I feel like they really cheaped out on it. Plus, the placements were off, like most roses on one side with a single one stuck side by side with a lily. The lilies were closed, when I requested them to be open. I gave them lots of request and told them that I trust them to make something awesome. Lesson learned, be specific, even if you think you already are. I could have added «one sided bouquet, no vase, 12 roses».

Amazing work! I hate to say that when planning our wedding on October 12^th, flowers were not my main priority. I wanted something nice, but didn’t want to splurge on flowers (we already did that on everything else!). Gabby understood exactly what I was looking for and make some excellent recommendations for the bouquets and some floral arrangements. I didn’t expect what I saw when they arrived on the wedding day — just beautiful! I got so many compliments on the flowers and colors. Prices are very reasonable and the service has been outstanding! Will recommend this shop to whoever is looking. Thanks!

My cousin’s wedding was in a little over a month ago, and I was the maid of honor. I went with her to pick out all the arrangements, and was blown away by the work they do. We just got in the wedding photos, so this goes out to all future brides… if you’re going to splurge on something for your wedding, please have it be the flowers.
My cousin’s wedding flowers were beautiful all the way from the cake, to the center pieces, to her bouquet and ours (bridesmaids.)
I don’t recall the name of the girl we had the consultation with, but she was incredible! She was so patient with us, and I loved that they had actual examples in the store, as well as piles and piles of albums PACKED with their work. She was so good at showing us what she thought would look good, and gave us amazing options to choose from.
The bouquets were all delivered to us that morning, and by the time we arrived at the venue, everything was set up, and as we were getting ready to go at the end of the night they arrived to pick up the vases.
I know this may not sounds like a lot, but trust me, when you’re running around from the moment you get up, it’s INCREDIBLE to know that you don’t have to worry about picking up the flowers or making sure they set up right, or collecting all the vases to make sure to return them the next day.
I felt as though she not only offers an amazing, beautiful service, but also a piece of mind. I couldn’t be happier with her work!

Gaby went above and beyond on our wedding flower arrangements and table décor as well ceremony décor. Hands down I will go to Athena Flowers for all my florists needs. She even came back that same night to pick up here vases. If you liked to see some of the work they did for our wedding hash tag #LosReillos on Instagram and see our pics from our wedding and Athena Flowers great work.

For our wedding on September 1, 2013, we worked with Evelyn on our bridal party flowers (bouquets, bouts, corsages, etc.). We came in to discuss and show her what we wanted, and she worked hard to come up with pretty and elegant flowers that fit into our budget and our vision. She didn’t try change what I wanted, and had very good suggestions for how to keep our costs down. In the end, I got beautiful flowers that everyone complimented on, stayed in budget, and looked like I spent a lot more. I would not hesitate to use Athena Flowers for all our floral needs. My bridal bouquet still looks almost as fresh as the day of the wedding and it’s now 3 days later!!!

We ordered our wedding flowers (orchids) from here back in 2010 and have been customers ever since. Everything the owner (Gabriela) has put together for us — from corsages to birthday bouquets to a firefighter memorial bouquet — has been breathtaking. Her husband and employees are courteous and hardworking. She has accommodated us last-​minute on multiple occasions. Her beautiful storefront keeps the community positive during the unstable economy. We only hope her business grows more during the years ahead. There are florists all over the city, but you won’t go anywhere else after your experience with Athena’s.

GORGEOUS, UNIQUE & AFFORDABLE
I am very particular (others might say difficult!) about certain things. Flowers are one of those things. Before becoming an Athena lifelong flower-​power groupie, my previous florist and I celebrated 10 dewy years together. I informed my closest that if they were going to buy me flowers… it HAD to come from my florist and no other. No one could sway me.
But one very courageous friend arrived one day with this big, bold array of the most gorgeous and fragrant flowers I’d ever received. Well done my florist, I said aloud. To which it was revealed that these beauties came from Athena’s!!!
Owner Gabrielle won me over with the quality and selection and has kept me estatic with her knowledge, expertise and commitment to excellence.
I sent my mother Gardenias (not the hardiest of flowers) and was amazed by the creamy color and sweet bouquet AND how long they lasted. I ALWAYS send those important to me some of her roses. From blushing apricot to dreamy lavendar to rich crimson… her roses are exquisite AND LAST FOREVER. Her mixed arrangements brighten any situation with their saturated color.
When a relative died, Athena’s handled the flowers. Not only were the mourners commenting on their beauty, I knew things would work out smoothly. I knew the owner was keen to my needs during this sensitive time and would make things seamless so as not to cause me worry.
I really wish I knew about Athena’s back when I got married. Both Gabrielle and Evelina are always so patient and helpful… I always end up with the perfect arrangement.
Yup. I’m a goner.

Beautiful arrangement plus courteous, professional staff
