Barbara & Dawn were such lovely people to work with they made everything so easy and simple for our wedding day 4/19/25. They show you 1 sample centerpiece and if you don’t like it or if it’s not your vision they go over everything with you to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want. Very reasonably priced compared to other local florists and our flowers were exactly what I envisioned them to look like. -Angelica Spagnuolo
I cannot rave enough about the gorgeous arrangement that I had sent to my Aunt for her 80th birthday from James Cress. I told them my budget and left the type of arrangement up to them, and they did not disappoint. Rarely have I sent flowers to someone that I felt looked worth the money, but this arrangement absolutely did. They were also super speedy from order to delivery Thank you so much!
I spent $350 on an open heart spray for a wake and was extremely disappointed with what I received. Based on the florist’s website and photos of their previous work, I expected something elegant and thoughtfully arranged. Instead, as you can see in the photo, the piece looked like about 20 sunflowers with some greenery simply attached to a board. There was no visible heart shape, no design effort, and no resemblance to what was advertised. For the price, this was a complete rip-off. It felt like no care or creativity went into the arrangement—just a rush job after collecting the payment. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want quality work that reflects both the cost and the occasion.
Really dissapointed in my experience here. I ordered an arrangment that was particularly special. I asked for a photo to be sent before delivery so I could confirm it made a statment and reflected the $170.00 price. They told me that was not possible but that "it would look great". Well, it didn't. The hydrangeas were just about dead when it arrived. I contacted the florist and they said, "sorry it must have happened in transit. We'll give you another one but the recipient needs to give us back the original." How embassaring. Just very dissapointed in the overall experience and how this was handled. Beware.
My husband and I used James Cress Florist for our September wedding. Barbara and Dawn were wonderful to work with! They were communicative, kind, and flexible throughout the whole process. We had a very small wedding and didn’t need as many florals as a larger event, and they were more than willing to work with us and accommodate our needs. The flowers were beautiful and exactly what we hoped for. Our event planners commented on how smooth and nice the delivery and setup was as well. definitely recommend them for all your floral needs!
