Carrollwood Florist

It’s my first time writing a review and I hate to say anything negative but I got this flower arrangement for VDAY but for the price this was poorly done. It looks like it was done quickly and no thoughts about the color combination. This seems like it can be done at home.

Best Service I’ve ever experience while buying flowers. They were closed early because of the holidays, but when I called the owner said that if I could wait for him, he would come back and open the store. I said yes and he delivered. The flowers were fresh and beautifully arranged. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

I ordered online from California to my mother-​in-​law in Tampa who just came home from the hospital. I had a two-​stem orchid sent to her and she LOVED IT!!! Thank you so much for an easy transaction and delivery… and a lasting flower plant she can have for months.

This place rocks, I’m so happy — I called them and asked if they could put together a creative, sculpted, «ichiban”-type arrangement and that it needed to be delivered in under an hour to a friend who was in the process of having a medical procedure being done as we were on the phone! The flowers had to arrive before she came out of the procedure and went back at her desk (she is also the office manager where she had the procedure done.)
I was soooo annoyingly picky about floral arrangements, but through it all they were so cool, calm patient — I mean, they had already started making the arrangement while I was still on the phone helming and hawing about the color of the flower I wanted at the base of the arrangement (and before I had even paid.) Within a few minutes they had it done. They texted a picture of it to me, I sent back two thumbs up and it was on the way to its destination. I’mm going to try to attach a picture of the arrangement they put together for me, so you can see what an awesome job they did.
And they trusted me now I totally trust them too. They were friendly, professional, creative and bottom line is — they delivered the goods. I really hope to see them rise up and succeed tremendously — they deserve it, and I have no doubt that you will be just as delighted with them as I was.
Now I have my florist in Tampa, and we are soon going to be good friends! Bravo Carrolwood! And thanks again for coming through for me!
All the best — Mark

Carrollwood florist is awesome! After moving out of state it used to be scary ordering flowers for my family in Tampa as I never knew if what I saw online would really be what was delivered. Carrollwood Florist took that apprehension away as they always deliver beautiful flowers that look as close to their pictures as possible. They are friendly to deal with & even texted me a picture of flowers I sent to my sister so I could see how great they looked. They guaranteed delivery by 1pm on flowers I ordered in the morning but actually got them there by 10am — amazing! Price was great also & although they said the size arrangement I ordered cane with 2 roses with other flowers it was actually full of roses — so nice! Highly recommend them!

The designer at Carrollwood Florist created the most spectacular arrangement for me to send to my precious daughter-​in-​law in Tampa. They understood my request for gorgeous blooms of corals, oranges and pinks with pops of various greens… and the presentation was stunning! It was a very special way for me to thank my son and his family for designing a most memorable surprise birthday ever!

Had to make a last minute rose purchase. I stopped by a few different places, Carrollwood Florist was amazing. All the other places the employees had stressed out attitudes. I understand the day before Valentine’s and the shops are extremely busy, but getting nasty with customers doesn’t work. Everyone here were happy, smiling, and extremely helpful. Will be back here for sure if I need flowers for anything.

The best florist experience and its not because of the roses it’s their customer service. If I could clone these folks and pepper them around my local stores I would.
I needed to deliver flowers to a friend who suddenly lost her fiancé. The woman on the phone was more than understanding. When I told her I needed to deliver to Riverview (keep in mind I live in MD and know nothing about FL or distance between towns), she suggested I use another florist. Not for self servicing reasons but because the delivery fee would be high and my money better spent on flowers for my friend. Not only did she gave me the name of a florist in Riverview, she went to their website and suggested a couple of items that would be appropriate for the situation. I explained that I didn’t want the old timey bereavement flowers in a jumbo cross because they freak me out. She looked through the website (yes of another florist, talk about service) and walked me through a couple of options that were more contemporary because we are all so young.
Turns out I needed to have the flowers sent in Tampa, not to Riverview. I immediately called the lady back with a new address and she took care of the rest. She worked with my budget, created a lovely arrangement, emailed me the receipt, sent me delivery confirmation by text the next day. She even waited very patiently on the phone while I googled the perfect message in such a hard time.
Honestly, if more people had this kind of attention to detail and willingness to really help people, I’d never have any money. I’d be happily spending it all. My experience with Carrollwood Florist was amazing all the way from MD and I am certain your experience will be the same.

I placed an order from LA for a friend’s birthday in the Tampa area. The Carrollwood Florist staff i spoke with was so friendly and accommodating. We discussed what I was looking for, what price point I wanted and they put together something really beautiful. My friend LOVED them. They even texted me after the flowers were delivered so I knew they arrived safely, I really appreciated that follow up. Highly recommend!

I wanted to say thank you for getting my last minute order delivered same day. The flowers are beautiful. I called from Kansas City, Mo for flowers in tampa for my mom and sister for mothers day. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

Received a beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers from my fan base (aka, the family!). Every stem is perfect — bright gerberas, fragrant roses, and blossoming hydrangea that exude cheerfulness. The vase is uniquely accented with ribbon.
Most important, my family let me know the arrangement is what they hoped for when contacting the florist. It’s most special when everyone is happy with the gift of a luxury floral arrangement.

Awesome flower shop! I have a fiancé that loves sunflowers and they are quite hard to come by with little to no notice. I walked into Carrollwood florist and everyone was super nice and very accommodating. I will gladly use them again especially since they created such a perfect arrangement on the spot!

I ordered a small arrangement for a relatives funneral, and was assured they would arrive to the church at 9:30 for a 10:30 memorial service. I wanted them there early because family and friends come early. They came at 10:25 and when I called to complain the owner just told me they were there in time for the service and blew me off like it wasn’t a big deal. First and last time wasting money at this place. No compassion what so ever. Also, since I live out of state I asked if they could email me a pic of the flowers so I could at least see them. I was promised a pic, but they never sent it.

Perhaps using this company serves as an excellent lesson — or an example — for why you shouldn’t use big box retailers to send flowers to loved ones.
The big retails — you know who they are — do have products that are notable, they tend to be higher priced. The cheap ones make sense when you are searching for the product, but when you get to go and check out you see that there’s a hefty «service fee» which equals to a quarter of the amount you were initially charged — that’s just robbing people blind, literally.
Sick and tired of all the major retailers, I tried Carrollwood Florist to send flowers to my mum on her Birthday. The flowers I selected were nicely priced and when you click send — no surprise for some oddball hefty service fee — the delivery fee is totally understandable.
Anyway, everything is great from the customer standpoint, but now lets look at their product. The flowers were beautifully presented with a nice card (perks for doing business with them) and to top it off — the individual delivering the flowers gave me a courtesy call just to let me know that the flowers were, indeed, delivered and if I had any questions, I could call him back at his number.
Seriously, these guys rock. Do not go for some bigger retailer — they may have lower prices on their homepage, but later on you’ll be shocked by all their other fees.
This place has has a quality in their product and service.

I needed a bouquet on a moment’s notice. They asked me my budget and put together something that was beautiful and could survive a 5 hour car ride. Definitely a winner!

Saturday mid-​morning and I was out running some errands with my girlfriend. I decided to surprise her with a bouquet of fresh flowers since I knew the last two weeks had been real rough on her at work.
We were cruising north on Dale Mabry, and I pulled into the shopping center just north of Red Lobster that has Burger 21 on the corner. She looked at her watch and made some kind of smirky comment about me taking her for a Senior Citizen’s early bird luncheon special at Burger 21. I just chuckled and drove towards the back of the strip mall and parked in front of the florist.
The lady behind the counter was super friendly and helpful, and I explained that this was a spur-​of-​the-​moment thing and that I was looking for an arrangement of some very colorful flowers for my very lovely girlfriend who was standing there with her mouth hanging open.
The lady went to the cooler and pulled out this spectacular arrangement of Gerbera Daisies and started adding in some other flowers to enhance the look. Brittany was beaming ear-​to-​ear and obviously very happy with the selection.
I have used this florist before when I needed to send flowers out of town, but this was my first time buying anything locally. The staff was wonderful, and the flowers were gorgeous. I was very pleased with their attention to detail and their terrific customer service!

Amazing service and a responsive and friendly staff are what Carrollwood Florist is all about. I needed flowers delivered for the funeral of my dear friend’s father. I live in Washington and the service was there in Tampa. Because of the time difference I was on a very tight timeline. The staff understood my concern and urgency and they were so very helpful and reassuring. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and Larry made suggestions and help me put together an arrangement that I knew would be perfect. Larry, thank you and Carrollwood Florist for helping me send love and support to my dear friend. You are wonderful!!!

I live in Dallas, TX and had an employee who just had a baby. I found these guys online and called on a Saturday afternoon to see if they could deliver same day. He said no problem which was a huge relief! I gave him my budget and let him decide what he thought was best for the occassion. My employee sent me a picture of the arrangement. It was FANTASTIC! I wish I could attached the picture to this review. If I ever have to send flowers to someone in Tampa I have found my home :)

I’m from NJ but we were in Florida and needed flowers for a funeral in the Tampa area. This florist was exceptional I ordered a large flower display for the funeral home and a vase of roses to go the my families residence. They were fresh and delivered on time. They we’re very concerned we would be happy. I highly recommend them!
