Ultra Violet Flowers

BEAUTIFUL flowers. I received as a gift and they were picture perfect. Gorgeous calla lilies in a very unique arrangement. To top things off, the flowers lasted nearly two weeks. They are pricey – but if why buy flowers for someone special if you’re not going to buy the best.

This is hands down my favorite florist in Washington. Classy and innovative, with great service.

Amazing Mothers Day arrangement (see in the pictures: mixed color orchids: green, light and dark pinks). Almost as special and beautiful as the occasion!

I used ultraviolet for my wedding in March and would choose them again if I did it all over! I wanted the flowers to capture our personalities, and was thrilled with the arrangements, bouquet, corsages, and place settings. They worked with me to understand my desires and added their wonderful artistic flair to capture it perfectly. I thought the prices were very reasonable.

This sexy, amazing store and ridiculously talented team is THE go to for anyone with discerning tastes. I live in Los Angeles and have a dilemma… I want to sent flowers to someone who… if he were an animal, would be a peacock. (by his own admission, he owns it.) LOL. He is… to say the least – grand, and I needed something that said «ka-​boom», but in as elegant and still masculine a way possible.
Had a great conversation yesterday with the designer, lots of laughs and I hung up feeling awesome. Then a hiccup! He’s not in the office today! Called them and instead of a «sorry, too late» they were wonderful and will do all Monday. Will post the photo in a follow up!
Peace of mind may cost you a few dollars more, but if your intention is to wow – they deliver. (LOL…I made a funny. Get it? Get it? Deliver. hahahaha) (ok, I’m done entertaining myself).

These guys are pros. Dropped in for last minute floral request! Not only were they able to fill the request, they knocked it out of the ball park. Highly recommend these guys!

I’ve never seen the actual flower shop itself but I do have a slight obsession with gorgeous flowers and the shops themselves (who doesn’t love walking into a beautiful flower shop?!). I live in NYC and found out my friend’s grandfather passed away this morning. I immediately researched florists in the DC area and found their website… saw examples of their arrangements, called them up and placed the order within 5 minutes (they were very efficient over the phone) and the flowers were delivered to her apartment within less than 5 hours. Amazing delivery service, very efficient and professional. Plus my friend said the flowers are gorgeous! Thanks Ultra!

If you ever have the good luck of walking by the window of UltraViolet and peeking in, you will see the most charming shoppe with the most beautiful spring flowers in the dead of winter. I was even luckier when i received THE most beautiful vase of flowers from UltraViolet yesterday — a surprise delivery that was so extraordinarily beautiful there are NO words! I don’t think there is another florist in DC that has the perfect aesthetic that they do — they literally take your breath away. And then they even bedeck the arrangement with ribbons!

Be warned — Virginia deliveries are a minimum of $ 85 and have a $ 20 delivery charge.

Pricey, but everything was perfect. Flowers as described and depicted, on-​time and the delivery followed my instructions correctly.

The arrangements are beautiful, the delivery service is prompt and my wife is always blown away by their selections. You pay a slight premium but you also get what you pay for– premium service.
I doubt that I will ever go anywhere else to order flowers. i highly recommend this florist.

I was in a bind and needed flowers urgently delivered to a hotel within a few hours. This place delivered a beautiful bouquet and really helped me out when I was in a crunch. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Holy smokes! I just received a bouquet from Ultraviolet Flowers (for a promotion at work) and this is the most incredible bunch of flowers I have EVER seen. It’s colorful, beautiful, and smells amazing! Looks like they were pricey but they sure are gorgeous sitting on my desk!

Recently, I was in Georgetown making a dinner reservation for my mom’s birthday who is visiting from Europe. Walking by, I decided to stop by The Ultra Violet without an idea of what flowers to choose. I did tell them some of what my mother liked and of her special day and left feeling maybe I hadn’t done enough to create the bouquet she would love. But, when I came back the same afternoon I was really impressed — flowers and arrangements were stunning. I got exactly what I had hoped for. My mother was amazed and truly loved her flowers. I highly recommend The Ultra Violet — they are smart, friendly and attentive. They listen and create joy. In the future, I will go there and beautify our lives with flowers

Ok, so before 5 minutes ago, I would have given this place 5 stars. Now I am debating between 2 or 3 :(I LOVE THEIR WORK. It’s gorgeous, clean, bright, and beautiful. When I saw that they had a deal on Living Social, I snagged 4 right away. Here is what the deal said:
«There’s never a bad time to give flowers. But with Georgetown-​based ULTRA Violet Flowers’ Deal — just $ 10 gets you $ 40 to spend — there might not be a better time to pick up a bouquet for a girlfriend or wife, spruce up the living room with some fresh stems or outfit the wedding party for upcoming nuptials. And the sweetest thing about this deal is that it’s good for a full year! So even if you can’t think of a reason to buy flowers now, you might as well stock up, just in case you need them in the future!»
Ok, so I called to redeem it and wanted to get a $ 200 – 250 bouquet and apply my LivingSocial deals. No dice. It’s some pre-​determined little wrapped bouquet (not meant for a vase/​display) for each coupon. That you don’t get to customize. At all. This is such a bummer. I was hoping to decorate my apartment for a friend’s birthday party and now I have four random little wrapped flower bunches instead of a happy, festive arrangement that I could show to my friends.
The woman on the phone was really nice and tried to be accommodating (e.g., let me pick up 2 bouquets at once vs. going back to the store 4 times)…but it still doesn’t change the fact that I feel duped. Blech :(Not sure if this is a LivingSocial problem or an ULTRAViolet problem, but I can’t be the first person to notice this /​be disappointed about it?

Robin is one of the nicest people i’ve met in a while and she does great floral arrangements too. From day one even before she met me she was incredible responsive with her emails, very flexible, and once i visited her shop i knew it would be a great fit because her space speaks to the contemporary sensibility we so love. The second time i visited the shop with my partner was the first time we actually met Robin and she hit a home run with us in terms of how she took the time to connect with us and understand our vision and budget. After some discussion over a glass of white wine Robin agreed to create some samples for us to look at and given that we live across country, she photographed her samples and emailed them to us and we were very pleased requesting a few small adjustments that she immediately agreed to demonstrating great flexibility. On the day of our wedding Robin arrived earlier than our agreed time and worked closely with our wedding planner to ensure that everything was properly placed. Even before the wedding Robin showed us some love by sending a beautiful arrangement to our room the day we checked into the hotel. We cannot say enough nice things about Robin and the beautiful arrangements she prepared for us. If you need a florist that is skilled, responsive and who genuinely takes the time to understand you vision, she is your person!
Thanks a million Robin and when in SF please call and let’s share a glass.

We ordered flowers from Ultra Violet for an event at a hotel and were pleased with working with them from the very beginning! Very personable service from the owner, and the design was perfect! She was able to create fantastic centerpieces that tied together the stylish, upbeat event in with the historic elegant building where it was held so that all complimented and looked amazing.
They were on time, communicated well through the duration of finding a way to work within our budget, and were professional in person. Such a pleasure to work with and I will definitely look to Ultra Violet for flowers again in the future!

i have been to this shop for the third and final time.
the first time, i was served by a male employee who could barely give me the time of day. i chalked it up to a bad day on his part and shrugged it off.
a few months later, i was served by a female employee who could barely give me the time of day. sound familiar? additionally, she had very little information on flowers i was interested in. i remembered my previous experience here, and vowed not to step foot into this shop again. sadly, one of the flowers (at $ 7.50 for the stem) died immediately. it was in a vase with 2 others of the the same type, which were fine.
i called the shop and was told to bring it in for a replacement. when i entered the threshold, i was eyed with suspicion by the owner of the shop, who proceeded to school me in the care of the flower in a most condescending manner. before i had a chance to tell her what had happened, she thought i had neglected to put it in water altogether! (her exact words: it’s a hydrangea, which needs water, thus the name. add sneer of ugly derision.)
aha. i see clearly where her employees get their attitudes.
i have spent a total of $ 312 in three visits here… every dollar pisses me off, but it’s so close to where i work! however, i shall gladly go as far out of the way as i need to for future flower needs. and never will i again refer any of my guests to this miserable little shop.

Got some flowers for my fiancé Liddy. She was very happy. Great service and quick ordering.

Well, I can’t comment on the flowers since they do not deliver on the weekends. If you are from out of town or would like delivery for a weekend holiday/​birthday, know that they are not open on the weekends as they tend to do event flowers then.
As for the customer service side: the ambient bitterness comes across even when not intended. I would consider using them if their arrangements were breathtaking, but if not, I would pass as the lurking potential for drama is higher than I would want to waste my time with for anything less than amazing arrangements.

On Tuesday I received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from Ultraviolet from a friend for my birthday. It was thoroughly modern and well put together. To me, it was perfect.
It reminded me a lot of the incredible arrangements I’d been sent from Rossi & Rovetti in San Francisco. I’m glad to know an equivalent florist exists in DC!
If you like creativity in your bouquets, you’ll like Ultraviolet.
