Fantastic experience: I found Flower Bud in online search as I wanted bouquet for my daughter who just got her first baby. As we live in Sydney I rang the shop just to make sure that they will be able to deliver locally. I spoke with Krista and her customer service was fantastic .I have chosen “ Modern spray” arrangement as I wanted a bunch with lot of greenery. We added helium balloon too. Krista also texted me back after the delivery . If she is not the business owner she deserves a pay raise. Thank you for exemplary service and gorgeous flowers

Fantastic experience: The team at flower bud have been consistently amazing for every single order I have made over the years. Attention to detail and quality is what makes this business different from other florists in the area. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants their flowers to stand out amongst the rest.

Fantastic experience: I had such a lovely experience with flower Bud & Co shop. Not only are their flowers absolutely stunning—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully arranged—but their customer service truly went above and beyond. I needed a bouquet early in the morning, and they kindly opened the shop earlier than usual just to accommodate me. That level of care and dedication is so rare and genuinely appreciated. It made the whole experience feel personal and thoughtful. I highly recommend this shop if you’re looking for both gorgeous flowers and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be returning!

Jake Davis Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent - highly recommended. I did not received any further notification post ordering which in my experience with other sites perhaps seemed a little unusual - I did call on the day of delivery just to be sure nothing had been missed but I didn't need to worry. Customer service over the phone was great and a beautiful arrangement that matched the quality of the website photos was delivered within the next hour. Superb, very pleased. Thank you Flower Bud & Co! First class.

Fantastic experience: Flowers truly make a space, and FlowerBud & Co absolutely made our wedding. From the beginning, I put full faith in Krista to execute our vision, and she went above and beyond in every way. The arrangements were fresh, beautifully crafted, and beyond anything we could have imagined. FlowerBud & Co handled delivery seamlessly and thoughtfully re-worked the flowers for the reception, which allowed us to save on costs and waste. Our guests took home some flowers and we received so many compliments afterward about the quality and how long they lasted. If you’re looking for a florist in the Wollongong / Illawarra region, FlowerBud & Co is truly the place to go. We couldn’t recommend Krista and her team more highly!

Caroline Witts Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I ordered flowers for my niece who was in Wollongong hospital. Flower Bud took the trouble to ring and prior to delivery and they found out she was in the day surgery and wouldn’t be able to receive flowers there. They called me with options on what to do. When we opted for the flowers to be picked up, they added extra fresh flowers to compensate. Great service and the bouquet I ordered was just beautiful! No wonder they have been in business for so long and have such wonderful reviews.

Sonia Williams Published on Google 9 months ago

Dee Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to the person who served me on 12th August. You were amazing and a breath of fresh air. Allowing me to pick individual flowers and creating a gorgeous bunch in my budget of $40. Flower Buds service and quality was even more highlighted as they were my second stop after the first being an over priced estimate on wilted flowers. Amazing and could not be happier. The attached photo is a pic my friend sent 12 days after I gave them to her astonished at how long they were lasting and still looking amazing. You will be my only stop for flowers from now on. Thank you Flower Bud

Fantastic experience: I was in need of some flowers on NYE and I didn't realise just how many florists are closed for two weeks after Christmas! Flower Bud & Co came in clutch with being open and having the perfect carnations and extra greenery that were used to decorate a profiterole tower. I'm so thankful and pleased with the assistance from the florist and the cake was beautiful!

Fantastic experience: I was so very impressed with the flowers and service at Flower Bud & Co. On such very short notice (and on a public holiday) , Krista who was not working at the time but happened to be in store when I called, agreed to create me a bunch and deliver them on the same day as the funeral was the following day. She totally saved me, and sent me a picture of the flowers she had made up which were simply stunning. I can not thank and recommend Flower Bud & Co enough!

Gemma Crane Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Krista was amazing for our wedding, her flowers tied the whole bridal party together. She took my Pinterest photos and made them a reality!

Lanni Lin Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best florist I have ever been to! I walked in one morning in a flustered state after being asked at the last minute to pick up 3 bouquets to be used for filming shoot that was starting in 30 mins. Krista took the time to listen to our needs and got to work right away assembling the most exquisite arrangements with the limited budget we had. We purchased 3 different sized bouquets and they were honestly so individually stunning and cleverly arranged. I'm not the biggest fan of flowers but these were so creative and different, Krista is seriously talented at what she does. Wished I lived closer so I could come here more often!

Marie Laker Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic quality and professional staff. Krista and the team are always very professional, the arrangements and products are of a very high quality and their advertising is clear to what product is being purchased. I won't use anyone else.

Ashley Walker Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I ordered some flowers from Flower bud & Co for my mother which were delivered today. I paid an extra $25 for chocolates and all they delivered was a box of celebration chocolates which can be bought from any supermarket, when the photos on their website clearly show hand made chocolates. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this and I feel they have mislead me as their customer. As a result I will never use them again and I certainly would not recommend them to other people. They are overpriced and should be more honest with their advertising.

Peter Whiting Published on Google 5 years ago

Jacqui Birchall Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I contacted the Flower Bud florist to have a special delivery of flowers to a new mum who has waited a very long time to have her first baby. They certainly did not disappoint! Thankyou for the most beautiful arrangement of flowers. You suggested a box arrangement so that our over worked nurses did not have to go searching for a vase. Perfect. I am very grateful for your expertise and care
