Simply Beautiful Floral Design

Haven't actually purchased from them yet, but 5 stars for all of the information and transparency when I called to see if they had something in stock. Black and woman owned, I think we have a new local flower shop!

I spoke with one of the owners Barbara, asking for a certain plant, and it felt like I was talking to one of my beloved aunties. She shared a wealth of knowledge about the herbal plants I was inquiring about and offered much needed positive vibes. She was truthful and honest and even steered me towards other places that I could purchase what I was looking for. But her kindness and help, makes me want to support this shop even more. And I will. Thank you Barbara and Simply Beautiful Floral Design! God bless!

I would like to start by saying, I really wanted to work with a black owned florist for my upcoming Women's History event. I spoke with Barbara on a Friday and was told I would have a quote early the following week. I ended up having to call the following Thursday and check on my quote, and was told she lost all of her pictures of flowers months ago and she would write herself a sticky note to get back to me. That sounded strange in 2022, as a business person shouldn't there be a better way to set reminders? Anyhow, I was sent 3 pictures and prices on Friday afternoon. By this time, I wasn't very confident in Barbara's ability to deliver on time for my event, so I went to downtown LA to check out some centerpieces and I was shocked to find that Barbara was over charging me by triple! I reached out and let Barbara know that I decided to go a different direction. Mistake!!! She responded by saying I was deceptive and had bad business practices. She also said she wishes I would have told her that I was shopping other florists which is crazy, why would I not? We did not have a contract nor are we in a relationship. Now, as I said in the beginning of this review, I DID want to work with a black owned business, however, to not shop around would be less than smart. Anyway, after I explained that since she never provided a quote and that the pics she sent were a week late, I didn't feel comfortable trusting her to handle this event in a timely and professional manner. She lashed out by sending nasty texts to me, to which I did not respond. Moral of the story, I am glad I did not decide to work with her, because I was able to see her true colors. Buyer beware and FYI DTLA Flower Mart has products just as nice for 1/3 of Ms. Barbara's pricing.
