Edmond's Plaza Florist

Edmond is amazing! He created a spectacular arrangement for my aunt with very short notice. I highly recommend this local florist for all of your needs.

Other than price, I have no issues with this place. But they do say you get what you pay for.

They always have a wide array of flowers that you don't see anywhere else. They also have creative bouquets, arrangements, and ideas on how to create something special.

Don't sleep on this spot, physically walk in if possible. Definitely not your typical florist!

Ordered an arrangement over the phone last week to send to a work colleague who lost a dear family member. It was quick to order over the phone, they emailed me an invoice, they confirmed the delivery via email, and today I saw a photo of the arrangement and it was stunning. Beautiful work and excellent customer service!!

Yesterday Edmonds delivered a pathetic floral arrangement.

As represented in the pictures, a single amarylllis bulb surrounding with fir pieces, lacking an ounce of any aesthetic consideration and was likely making use of scraps left over from wreaths, and a few small token japanese elm branch tips that were stuffed into an ugly and peeling off faux "birch/aspen" paper on the pot. Totally lacking any festive holiday arrangement garnishes or color as basic or inexpensive as a bow, pine cones or small adornments.

Looking at the Edmond's website, apparently a single Christmas amaryllis arrangement + tax + delivery ( for us a 5 min trip only 2 miles from the store) gift would be $220+ and would be fine but not for thecheap and apparently rushed monstrosity that was delivered.

Obviously the Sender thought Edmonds would create a festive and aesthetic arrangement close to the picture represented on their website but apparently Edmond's website is just a lure.

There are so many florists in San Mateo that take pride in their creations and deliver beautiful, meaningful and festive arrangements ( i.e. Ah Sams) and lower prices (i.e. San Mateo Florist) .

Dont waste your time or $ at Edmond's only to end up with a gift sent/received that brings significant disappointment for both parties.

Update:

Oddy the "arrangement" was very heavy for a single amaryllis bulb and a few fir scraps. So took the pot with the "living" out of the exterior faux "birch/aspen" experiot pot. WOW, it was filled with 3 lbs of dirt and the actual plant pot was small, only 6"w x 5" deep and only 3/4 full (added pics) Unbelievable at $220+.

So if you 're inclined to send someone really expensive dirt and a totally different twist on "Santa's bag of Coal" go to Edmonds.

Excellent service. They were able to meet my request and swiftly create a beautiful bouquet for a special event. I think their prices are warranted for a very special occasion and if you're in a rush.

Paid about 200 for a gallon of water and hydrangeas that started dying in 2 days. Yes, I followed the instructions. Instructions didn't even tell you that hydrangeas needed to be cut regularly and placed in hot water to revive if drooping. I'm better off buying them from Trader Joe's and making my own arrangement. Only upside is that the roses are blooming beautifully.

- EDIT -

I went to Trader Joe's and got some flowers (baby breath and lilies) to add to it. I gave them another star because the roses are blooming beautifully.

Beautiful, exquisite floral arrangements. Edmonds offers unique, modern and amazing flowers. They are not only gorgeous, they last longer than other bouquets. Our go-to florist!! Thank you Edmond!!

I am so grateful to the amazing team at Edmond's Plaza Florist, Inc. for creating such a beautiful ART bouquet flower for my daughter.

You have a wonderful talent for designing flowers and making people happy.
I appreciate your work from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
MH

I am several months late on giving this review. I had a wedding to go to back in December 2022, and I wanted to bring the "Beautiful Bride" a gorgeous floral arrangement to enjoy while she was getting ready. This was a very special wedding because they had been together for 19 years. So the day of the wedding, I went to Edmond and asked him to make an arrangement with specific flowers that were very expensive. Within minutes he designed an elegant arrangement. He even gave me a shocking great deal on the price. The Bride loved them and now she gets her floral arrangements there. She had Edmond design a gorgeous arrangement for my Birthday and for an event she and her sister put on this past weekend. We are all very happy customers. Thank you Edmond.

I highly recommend Edmonds Plaza Florist.
The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, they have an outstanding supply of fresh flowers and orchids. The floral designers do an amazing job. Edmond's created the most beautiful arrangements for wedding ceremony as well as guests tables. We couldn't have been happier!
Whole experience working with Edmonds was outstanding!

A friend sent me this beautiful bouquet from Edmond's florist. She told me after that she had a lovely interaction with the person who took her order. They are absolutely beautiful!
I have found my go to florist in San Mateo.
