I received excellent service in an expedited fashion. Brian was attentive to my needs, and the staff made my experience an awesome one by understanding and catering to my out of the ordinary request.

The website was easy to navigate, and the shopping experience was above par. I really appreciated the follow-through, and I had every bit of confidence that my order was handled by professionals after placing it, giving me peace of mind. Thank you , Alex Waldbart Florist, for taking care of me and making my day, and the recipient's day!

This was a totally awesome experience.

Granted, I am not the most interesting man in the world, but I know what I like. What I have grown to like the most is that I can rely on them to be my Subject Matter Expert when it comes to flower arrangements. With all of the decisions I have to make on a daily basis, it is nice to be able to rely on their expertise and creativity.

I have never been disappointed with the value of the arrangement I have purchased. The only thing better is the look on the face of the person who received it.

I recommend this shop to everyone I know and look forward to my next flower purchase with them.

Flowers came exactly as pictured on website.. they were also delivered to my wife at the time I asked for.. after my order was placed I didn t have to do any communicating they handled the order and delivered it quickly.. I will be using them for all my future flower purchases.

AWF delivered a beautiful arrangement, the Designers Choice, to our daughter who is isolated with the Shelter in Place situation. We appreciated their efforts and she was thrilled with the results. Good people.
Please support this local small business!

I live out of state and have a lot of family in the St. Louis area. I've used Alex Waldbart Florist numerous times to send flowers to family for special occasions and they are always a huge hit with compliments about how beautiful the arrangement is. It's a home run every time. I'm so glad I found AWF!

This florist has been around forever my parents shopped with lee and I shop with Claire. They are always awesome I never know addresses for hospitals etc . I never ever know where a Visitation for a funeral is. They are more than helpful and always my arrangements are the most beautiful in the room.
Recently my sister in law had a liver transplant
And I didn't realize she couldn't have flowers in ICU they asked all the right questions and sent a beautiful arrangement at the appropriate time.
I love all the staff they are fabulous!

Great experience with Bryan. Sent him a photo of an arrangement I liked and he put together something a little nicer. Grandmother absolutely loved it, and her photo looked even better than the website arrangements you see on the major flower services (whom I find are often sub-par). Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Would happily call them again.

Good

Alex Waldbart is an excellent florist! we used them as our florist for our daughters wedding and they were so helpful and professional. They went above and beyond our expectations on the flowers and the service! Also did a beautiful floral arrangement for a recent funeral. Highly recommended!

Overall, my experience with them was amazingly perfect. Claire listened, made suggestions based on what she heard from me and made sure she knew my vision. She made the process as seamless as humanly possible. I m forever grateful I found them!

I ordered a potted plant for my mother and a flower arrangement for my sister in late August as well as a hanging basket for my stepmom for Mother s Day. I live out of state and I prefer using local florists to deliver flowers to my St. Louis family for various occasions. All arrangements were absolutely lovely and surprised my mom on her birthday and my sister on her virtual baby shower day. The associates who delivered the arrangements both arrived mid-morning, were respectful of distancing and extremely kind. Even though I couldn't be there with my family for these occasions, they knew that I was thinking about them. I couldn t be more pleased with Alex Walbart Florist!

We live in Washington state and know next to nothing about St. Louis. Wanting to send flowers to a friend who lives there are has had recent surgery I took a chance with Alex Waldbart Florist and couldn't be more pleased. The bouquet was delivered in a matter of hours and as the photograph my friend sent me, had beautiful fresh looking roses in it. It looked even better than the picture on the left.
Very pleased. Thank you

Buyer beware Snotty Help: Laughing recipient of flowers:
Wanted to purchase a simple thank you for a job well done. Was told, with a straight face, that the $35 bunch was not nice and that I had to spend $50.00 for anything even presentable. (plus tax, of course) Then, the delivery charge was $11 to take the flowers directly across the street. I should have walked away when the Guy rolled his eyes at my purchasing the $35 item ("well OK, if that's what you want") Shame on me. Shame on me I paid and left and did not insist on seeing the flowers.
Lucky for me the recipient thought it was a joke and a funny way to say thanks, so I got lucky - but buyer beware that unless you want to spend a minimum of $75, that this place sends out joke flowers, intentionally and knowingly.

I love the creations that are made here at Alex Waldbart Florist! This has been my go to florist whether I send them near or far. I also love to stop in the beautiful store for plants and special things for my house that I always seem to find . Such a wonderfully professional shop, with extremely talented florists !

I ordered flowers through a delivery service. The online service was slow to respond to changes. The florist stepped up and delivered a perfect arrangement! Thank you for going the extra mile

I used the Waldbart Florist for my arrangement to celebrate Admin s Day and they did an awesome job! The flowers were reasonably priced and they turned out gorgeous! They completed a touch-free delivery, which I really appreciated during the virus pandemic. I am so excited to have found my new favorite florist. Highly recommend!

While I don't know what the arrangement will look like, I just spoke to the nicest man on the phone. If the customer service is any indication of the work they do, I would highly recommend this florist.

Ordering online was fast and super simple. Limited communication other than a confirmation email, but everything went very smoothly. The final product looked just as beautiful as promised. Very happy! Thank you Alex Waldbart Florist!

I wanted to order my wife flowers to be delivered at her work. I called around 10am hoping to get them delivered same day. I looked at their website and couldn t figure out what to order from the pictures. So I called and said I wanted Lillie s for sure and this is the arrangement she received around 1:30. Super fast service and it looks amazing. They did an awesome job!

Easy delivery and beautiful arrangement! I love when the florist provides the option for designers choice because I know it ll be whatever looks great and is in season - and it ll be totally unique. Would order again!

No prearranged pieces. Very expensive. Poor quality flowers.

Walked in to order two pieces, one to take right away, the other for a funeral. Because they do not have any premade arrangements I told them that I wanted a $75 piece and waited for them to arrange it. It was tiny and the flowers looked wilted by the time I took it out of the box, also the water was dirty already. Within two days most of the flowers were dead. The new guy at the front desk was very pleasant but he was the only one. The women making my arrangement was simply rude. I will go to the grocery store before I go to this place again!

The BEST florist in St. Louis, hands down. The staff are all incredibly thoughtful and creative. I ve used them for our business and every time I tell them to surprise me with something seasonal, I m blown away. Highly recommend!

Overall, it was not a pleasant experience and I won't likely make another order.

The Alex Waldbart process is very efficient and they have a lovely selection of flowers. Actually, everything went well until I requested some changes made to the arrangement, at which point our relationship abruptly fell off a cliff. I accept it is a touchy subject, but I did not insult anyone's professional capability. And the florist's response and subsequent action I still don't appreciate.

Love working with Claire and the team! Not only is their product consistently fresh and beautiful, they're also a fun and bright bunch and I enjoy working with them leading up to and on event days. I'd recommend this crew to anyone planning a fabulous event!

Recently purchased a floral arrangement (Confetti) for my daughter-in-law who rang the bell for completion of chemo treatment. She was ecstatic over the colorful arrangement of the roses. A perfect gift for a courageous young energetic woman. Thank You Alex Waldbart !

New to the area but have ordered flowers my entire life. This was my first (and last) time using Alex Waldbart. I put in a $125.00 order for a dinner party. I should have listened to the many negative reviews, they were right. I don't recall being embarrassed by a flower order before. It wasn't what was described, didn't have many flowers, and looked cheap. I could and would have designed better for half price had I known. I expected flowers for $125.00. Call me crazy.

And no, in case owners post a reply below to "make it right", you can't. You had that opportunity when I placed my order. If you didn't have inventory or generally favor more profit over flower content, you should have said so.

Great service was ordering flowers online to be delivered to my girlfriend's work and called before I placed the order very friendly and they assured me they will be delivered today Thanks Again!

I am always happy with the flower arrangements I order through Alex Waldbart. Friends/clients who receive them are always happy too. I appreciate timely flower delivery to my St. Louis friends very much. They are always beautiful! Thank you!

Claire helped me with my Wedding Flowers- I explained the look I was going for, and she perfectly captured it. I enjoyed her temperament and humor throughout the process, and she gave excellent customer service. My flowers were one of my favorite details of my day!

Claire and the entire staff at Alex Waldbart Florist are wonderful! She made my wedding dreams come true. Claire met with me several times during the planning process, offering me great advice and making sure she knew exactly what I wanted. On wedding day the flowers were magical, my guests were so impressed with how beautiful and unique each arrangement was...... the bouquets were AMAZING. They are really the best, I will recommend every bride to them and return to their store for any and all of my floral needs!!

Simply the absolute best! There s a reason Alex Waldbart Florist is the oldest in St. Louis. They do everything above and beyond! My flower arrangement was classic but modern. I look forward to many more flower deliveries in the future!

You will never be disappointed when working with these folks! As a vendor in the wedding industry it is always important to be able to recommend businesses that not only do amazing work but are professional and reliable. I can always count on the team at Alex Waldbart to get the job done. Will always recommend in the future for all my brides and floral requests!

A friend of mine in the hospital just received her flowers. She really loved them. The person I spoke with on the phone really worked with me to get just what seemed right for her. She is visually impaired and there were bright colors and some with a good smell. Thanks so much.

The Graceful Nature Vase I ordered looked excellent, and my friend loved them! I am ordering from San Diego, CA and have never been to St. Louis. Your shop was one of the first to appear and I m so happy I chose it. The layout of your website is clean and easy to navigate! Delivery was timely too. Thank you for helping my friend feel better. Will absolutely buy again.

Alex Waldbart Florist is excellent in every way!

Last spring, I made the mistake of ordering and PAYING, online, for flowers for mother's day from what was billed as a "Clayton store," only to have them email me on mother's day to say they couldn't make the delivery. Turns out I was duped by a national chain that simply takes the orders (and our money) and fobs the orders off onto someone else. I called Alex Waldbart Florist in a panic and spoke with Tony, who took my last-second order, arranged something magnificent, and made the mothers all happy!

I've kept them bookmarked for the last six months and just called to order birthday flowers. Wonderful customer service, had our last delivery in their records to say what they'd done, and had some terrific suggestions for me today.

Love this store and the service. The arrangements are spectacular!

I have been patronizing this place for years. They always provide good service and quality floral arrangements for reasonable prices. Unfortunately much of my business with them has been for funerals and they are very considerate of that.

Bought flowers over the phone for a special occasion, orchestrated a third-party to pick them up. In a word, wow. Never been so impressed by flowers before (service was great too). Each rose was flawless and they came expertly displayed in a beautiful but simple arrangement. Very impressive job, I really look forward to using them again - only florist I ll use from now on.

The owner is amazing! I am sending flowers to my friend that works in the ER for mother s day, she happened to get sent home the day of delivery. Claire reschueldd my order for the next day she would be at work and is sending a fresh Bouquet. Top notch service and it s much appreciated being out of state and unable to coordinate this in person. Highly recommend this place! Thank you!!

I came in for my wedding flowers and 2 employees were here. They both saw me, neither said hello or even acknowledged I was in their shop. I am not one to look around when I know I need something.. I was basing my decision on ordering from them based off of ratings online...too bad they offer TERRIBLE service (or should I say no service at all?)

I m not sure of what happened or why no one felt the need to contact me as promised regarding a quote for weddding flowers but I m not very happy about it. I was told over a month ago that I d receive a call the same week with a quote and never did so I called only to be told that I d receive a call later on in the week and STILL NOTHING. I called this morning, spoke with Bryan and was told that he emailed me weeks ago. I asked him to verify the spelling of my name and my email address and everything is correct! to say I m disappointed would be an understatement! I m planning a wedding not a picnic!

Personal attantion las good as it gets. Claire is very knoledgeable and understands exactly what I want every time. Great people and with that guaranteed satisfaction, what does anyone have to lose. Thanks for being so personable and great!

I ordered flowers for a friend's birthday via phone. EXCELLENT customer service. He asked me what I'd like (of course I had no idea). So then he asked me questions about my friend in order to create an arrangement especially for her. He also asked me my budget, which was awesome. Instead of getting my hopes up on an arrangement I couldn't afford, they crafted one I could afford! My friend LOVED her arrangement, and my wallet wasn't drained. What's even better is she said the flowers lasted a long time!

My parents bought me flowers from here and I loved them. Little did I know the wrong bouquet was sent to me until my parents told me. They refunded my parents and even sent me flowers as an apology (after my parents told them they didn t need to send me more flowers). Very professional and kind company!! I was happy with the original flowers and understand this is a hard time, so I appreciate your company s hard work! Mistakes happen, and you went above and beyond dealing with this issue :)

Although they could not find my order at first when I called for an update... which scared the life out of me, they had the flowers already on the way to the their destination. They called and left a message saying the flowers were here but since my gf could not receive them they came back later to complete the delivery. The bouquet looks amazing, as expected. Great service! Thank you!!

I have patronized Walbarts exclusively for 20+ years. I have found Claire and her staff to be extremely knowledgable and helpful for all my family's special occasions. They are always a joy and pleasure to work with!!!
