Marge’s Specialties

We came in search of quality silk flowers and ended up finding that and so much more. This place is fabulous. Two tons of amazing items, home decode, Christmas, seasonal, and more. Even a Brighton boutique with great selection!
The staff were plentiful, informative, funny, and so helpful without being clingy or annoying!
They even offered us coffee or bottled water.
I wish I could have spent even more time there but we had a lot to accomplish to get ready for my daughters wedding.
We will place this gem on our go to list. This is a must visit if you’ve never been.
Something for every price range and every home.
Check it out. You will not regret it!

Marge’s Specialties is my favorite place to shop! Special occasions, gifts, fine furnishings, Christmas, and even Brighton Jewelry too! They have the best candles in town and they are the largest Christmas Store in the state of Florida. My wife and I love the place and find the staff to be great! I have read with disappointment how the staff was thought as rude. I’ve been there hundreds of times (no exaggeration) and find them accommodating, funny, personable and engaging. No doubt that they have a passion for what they do and that they too love the store. Check it out! The place is HUGE and fills several buildings too. I think that once you’ve seen it, you will know why this is the favorite store of many just like me. I highly recommend Marge’s Specialties!

Selection — yes
Prices — all over the place
Customer service — some pretty awful, some okay, some good
The selection at this destination store is amazing. If you need to create a tree or wreath and want all the ribbons, ornaments, embellishments, you will likely find them here.
The prices, well, some are good, some middle of the road and some are high. Do not just put things in your basket without checking the price.
The customer service is their weak link. On one occasion we had a charming sales associate help us, she even carried our tree to the car, she was wonderful.
On another occasion, the employee did not want to be bothered with us. She was awful. We were making spending a lot of money had two full shopping carts of products, and she wasn’t happy about it! She was rude to all three of us, she kept messing up the math, and then would get nasty when we pointed it out. She didn’t get everything in our bags, and we were staying about an hour from their store. So one of us had to drive all the way back the following day. If she had waited on us during our 1^st visit, we would have never returned. And it’s not just her, there were other impolite people working in the store that day. I think our first trip was actually the anomaly.
Additionally they have posted «ALL SALES FINAL» I never trust a vendor that will not accept a return in a reasonable amount of time. What if the lights you bought don’t light up?
Make sure you check everything before you pay!

Wow this place was just… wow. Christmas decorations galore! My husband and I are obsessed with Christmas to say the least so this was the jackpot of all things Christmas. There are trees, decorations, ornaments, ribbon, garland, etc plus they have some fall/​Halloween items as well. If you are searching for fake flowers for any sort of floral arrangement I’d say Marge’s had at least 5 times the amount of options compared to JoAnn’s so I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flower they don’t have. There are some other furniture and decorating items but Christmas is definitely the main feature and we will definitely return closer to the holidays.

This place has it all!
Its not JUST Christmas, its everything you ever wanted for your home. Its a family-​run business (over 35 yrs) and they are more than friendly. Make sure you plan at least 2 hours to see everything. Free Keurig coffee/​tea and bottles of water too.

Oh Marge’s, how I love you!
Marge’s is a wholesale AND open to the public specialty floral supply and décor store located about ½ a mile North of the intersection of Lee Road and OBT. I’ve enjoyed shopping at Marge’s my entire time in FL, so that is over 15 years. The front of the store is misc. furniture and décor, upscale candles, a Brighton boutique (shoes, jewelry, purses). The back of the store leads to a large floral supply warehouse that has everything you could ever want and more. They quality of the flowers is spectacular, these aren’t flowers you see at Michael’s or Joann’s.
I had a friend that was helping with a wedding, looking for Calla lilies and Floralyte LED tea lights (can be submerged in water). Marge’s had both and at a great price. I had searched for them on
and they couldn’t be here by the time she needed, so I was thrilled to find them locally– at the same/​better price that was online. The calla lilies were just amazing, looked and felt real. Perfect for use as boutonnieres, on cakes or in her table arrangements.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, the gal that took my call about my Floralytes inquiry remembered my call and got me on my way quickly. (After I perused around for awhile!)
Sign up for their emails to receive notices of their sales, they have 1 or 2 big sales per year and you can stock up on beautiful merchandise. Be sure to check out the store around Christmas time, it’s spectacular.
