Saffron

This is review is for my experience ordering online. I haven't visited Saffron's actual storefront (yet). My father asked me to help order flowers for my mother to celebrate their 34th anniversary. I spent an hour or two looking through other flower stores' websites, amazed by how underwhelming and overpriced their offerings were. When I opened Saffron's page, I knew I'd found my florist. Every arrangement is custom-made, and you can select your budget (which you can also elect to include the shipping cost) for flowers with or without a vase. They have sections where you specify style and colors. The styles are: Simple/Understated Traditional/Classic Contemporary/Modern Abstract/Asymmetric Wild/Loose Wild/Full A little bit of everything One type flower only I chose Simple/Understated and Wild/Loose, describing something that would look like it was freshly cut from a garden. I also listed flowers that fit the image. Someone at Saffron got in touch with me soon after to tell me they were out of stock for certain flowers since it was Sunday, but if I was okay pushing the delivery back a day, they would receive more Monday. He couldn't have been nicer about it. The delivery itself went without a hitch, and they adjusted the message on the card as I requested (I added in "belated" because I agreed to have the bouquet delivered a day late). Though bouquets usually cost more if you request specific flowers, Saffron was able to accommodate my $75 budget. As you can see in the photos, the arrangement is beautiful. It also feels like it was made to last, as it's still lovely a week later. My mom loves it! My only complaint is that the website doesn't have a gallery of examples of Saffron's works. It would have been especially helpful if there were images to demonstrate exactly what they meant by each style category.

I got a custom wedding bouquet + boutonniere from Saffron. I provided reference photos from their Instagram, a color scheme, and a list of flowers I tend to like, then trusted them to take it from there. I was thrilled with the outcome: I knew that I could trust the designers at Saffron, but I was surprised by just how attentive they were to what I had written. The boutonniere was also amazing. They were very responsive over email, and able to accommodate an earlier pick-up for a fee if necessary. My friend who picked up the flowers said the staff at Essex Market were incredibly nice. So happy I went with Saffron.

Amazing bouquets come from this tiny nondescript storefront. Well, technically, I suppose they come from the staff inside but you know what I mean. Needed some flowers for an anniversary recently so reached out to them. Staff member who took my call was very friendly and helpful, asking about occasion and preferred style. Scheduled the pickup for a few days later and could not have been more pleased with the result. Bouquet was gorgeous!! Staff inside were also very friendly. Will definitely return in the future.

best florist in the city! I go here anytime I need flowers for a special occasion and they’ve never disappointed. I love Saffron!

Saffron is a carefully curated shop, with beautiful options for a quick gift or a special occasion. They had the most perfect mini-bouquets ready to go, with jars available for purchase. The price was comparable to Whole Foods, except MUCH more beautiful! 🤩 I prefer to shop local when I can, and Saffron swooped right in and saved the day.
