Fantastic experience: Really lovely and helpful staff, out of both florists on the highstreet I had a much more personal experience here. Flowers ordered in specially for me as they are my favourite, the first wholesaler was a little bit more expensive so they called me up and advised I should maybe hold off till after Mother’s Day, a call a few hours later saying they found me a better priced wholesaler. Very warm and friendly staff I couldn’t of faulted them. I picked up my flowers this morning and they are stunningThankyou so much xx
Thank you so much for your kind words it means a lot ❤️
Fantastic experience: Very nice flowers and punctual delivery. Also, the gift cards are hand written which is a very nice touch!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly would definitely recommend and same day delivery
Fantastic experience: Lovely beautiful shop, any flower lovers dream. As well as the flowers being very pretty they sell lots of quirky and cute little gifts and trinkets; I recently bought a very heavy stone frog for the garden I knew my mum would love and the girl working was kind enough to take it to the car for me as my puny arms weren't up to it! Left with a smile and a frog
Fantastic experience: Ordered a bouquet for my Mum going into a nursing home, she really loved them. Thanks to the woman I spoke to on the phone you did a great job.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful arrangement in a gorgeous vase with extra plant food, all alongside incredible service! Personally delivered to my sister for her birthday, and even offered to bring them in for her (she uses crutches, so didn't have her hands available to hold them). Absolutely recommended!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful flowers and wonderful customer service
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Lisa and her team at Village Florist. Ordered flowers for my sister's 50th birthday and they are just beautiful. Thanks so much ladies, keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you so much for your kind words xx
Fantastic experience: Very polite and helpful .
Negative experience: Ordered a bouquet for my mothers birthday was charged £40 I am absolutely shocked at the poor quality and the amount of flowers i got for the price, I could of got better in lidl. Never again.
So sorry. we pride ourselves on our quality and have a great reputation in the village we all work hard to keep our flowers at a high standard for the best price our girls take great pride in there work and would hate to think of anyone being unhappy .x
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to The Village Florists for creating the most beautiful bouquets, buttonholes, and flower arrangements for my wedding. After showing them my bridesmaids' dresses and sharing some styles and flowers I liked, they managed to bring my vision to life – even better than I had imagined! They truly captured everything I wanted and more. I absolutely loved the flowers! The entire team was incredibly helpful and friendly, making the whole process easy and stress-free. Plus, the flowers were very affordable. I can’t recommend The Village Florists enough. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words .
Negative experience: Ordered a blue display and it is white with 4 TINY blue flowers. Looks insipid. Just say you haven’t got much blue and use your initiative and use something else! Not recommended.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! They provided my wedding bouquet and button holes. Absolutely stunning and exactly what I asked for. Was actually shocked how little they cost. Was expecting to pay a lot more. The staff are so very kind, attentive and friendly.
Thank you so much for your kind words xxx
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service!! Ordered a bouquet for my sister this morning at 7.30am and they arrived by 11am now that's what I call fantastic service. She was over the moon with them and said they are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words xxx
Fantastic experience: Love the flowers they did for our gender revea look amazing and my partner was so happy with them
Thank you for your kind words we were so excited to do them
Fantastic experience: Beautiful flowers sent with that much needed personal attention when you need it most. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words xxx
Fantastic experience: I have been using this florist for 15 years for various occasions and Lisa and the team have always been brilliant ! They did all of our wedding flowers, Valentine's Day, Birthdays or flowers just because and I cannot recommend them highly enough
Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly staff
Negative experience: No correspondence, asked for a picture before they left the store, asked if they had been delivered, no reply on both occasions. When you are spending $120 on flowers from overseas, you expect better service.
hi, we are sorry to see this review, however we have looked through all of our orders up to over a month ago and there is no overseas order to this value, we think maybe you have contacted another florist with your order . if you could provide us with the delivery date your flowers were sent and the recipient name we can check again, just to make sure , we do pride ourself on making our customers happy .
ps did you order online or on the phone many thanks
Fantastic experience: Amazing, friendly service, went in ad hoc to get a buttonhole, done for me in 20 mins, was shown what flower and how it would look like, the girl was so helpful and accommodating. Great place, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: WOW what an absolute pleasure to deal with , easy going , friendly and great service 5 star elliot
Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Such a nice and lovely boutique. I recommande this store if you have any occasions to offert à flowers. Go with thé closed eyes .
Negative experience: Picked up flowers and balloon today. Order pink, yellow and white in a basket. Received flowers in a brown box with tatty pink ribbon and dead flower in the front and very little coloured. Immediately complained and lady said the peony wasn't dead just not opened yet and offered to put them in a basket which was the size of a dessert dish. Replaced flower with another which also did not look much better. AVOID
We did everything to accommodate you we asked you several times if you are happy you even brought a balloon on top of your order then you left the shop 1 min later not even enough time to get in a car you called the shop demanding a refund because we could have sold your flowers 10 times over we said yes as we never want to see anyone unhappy just bring the flowers back you refused and said you wanted both the flowers and a refund I said just pop them back you said if I don't refund you on your card you are going to slag us on social media so well done and thank you and thank you from my lovely staff who work hard and take the work they do personally.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful, I loved my flowers. The people were so kind, 100% getting flowers from the village florist again!
Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Went not too long ago just have a look at some flowers as recently moved into a new house and wanted something to spruce up the house, I was blown away by how friendly all the staff were and how beautiful the flowers were , they also have some lovely garden stuff and just some beautiful trinkets that I ended up purchasing for my boyfriends mum which she adored. I will definitely be sending my boyfriend there next time he’s in the dog house to get me some lovely flowers !
Fantastic experience: Couldn't ask for a better bunch of flowers, the missus would stunned with what she received. Customer service was second to none and easy to deal with, defiantly will be using again.
Fantastic experience: Ordered a bouquet from here yesterday, and they couldn’t have been more perfect, the flowers were absolutely gorgeous and arranged in an absolutely beautiful way. Every time a friend asks where they should get any flowers from i only say the village florist. Customer service is great and they will always give you the best advice and help you with your orders and what’s best for you. Thank you so much Lisa and the ladies you’re wonderful and the most lovely staff!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely Beautiful flowers ! Thank you so much , my sister was so pleased
Thank you for your kind words x
Negative experience: I ordered on 13th March for flowers to be delivered for mother's day weekend. I received a confirmation email but the flowers didn't arrive. I then realised the cost of the flowers had been refunded to my bank account. I received no call or email to say there was a problem with the order so I obviously thought all was fine. As there was no contact I had no time to order a replacement through another company so my mother-in-law had no gift on mother's day. I have sent two emails since to ask why the order wasn't fulfilled but have had no reply. This is terrible customer service and I will never use this company again.
Hi we are based in Tilehurst Reading we refunded as your delivery was out of our area we did this as soon as we had your order so you had time we have looked for your emails but haven't found them so sorry for the miss communication We will make sure we follow up if we ever get out of area delivery sorry again .
Negative experience: Terrible experience here. Picked up Mother’s Day flowers and purchased the grand size could have found better looking quality flowers if I’d have picked weeds out of my local park meanwhile being charged extortionate prices. The Lisa woman that owns the shop is what I can only describe as a Horrible dragon who intimidates her own staff that seem to work hard… honestly never met such a horrible woman in every sense. Feel sorry for the staff
Fantastic experience: Lovely service and fast delivery. Flowers are lovely. Will use again.
Fantastic experience: cant recommend the village florist highly enough always friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. Best florist in Berkshire.
Thank you so much x
Negative experience: Flowers delivered 5.20pm. Shop told us this morning delivery until 6pm. WRONG website says 5pm. No customer service. Offered more flowers, why when I already have 1 doz red roses. Their excuse they were busy. GET MORE DELIVERY DRIVERS. IF YOU CAN'T COPE. Didn't offer delivery charge refund either. Ps. If you think the flowers make up for your rude behaviour they don't
I wish you love and happiness
Fantastic experience: Said it before and I will say it again Great, friendly and happy staff that are always willing to help everytime I visit. The team have been fantastic to me every time i go into the store Never leave disappointed 100% recommend on any occasion
Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: The village Florist have been outstanding in helping me choose my wedding bouquet and table flowers, all very reasonably priced too. I would highly recommend them.
Negative experience: I decided to buy my wife and mum some flowers for Easter. I actually followed a woman into the shop so there were two of us in the small shop. I could hear a man talking to someone out the back. The lady and I started looking at the flowers but no one came out. She walked out but I stayed a moment but still no one coming out....I may be quiet but not that quiet. I walked out and went to Sainsburys for the flowers, shame when you want to support local businesses.
So sorry I don't know what happened there as we have
a number of staff and we are all ways friendly we may have been sorting a flower market out we do have a bell in the shop you can press for service I will make sure it's more prominent.
Fantastic experience: I attended a funeral on Friday 25th March that the ladies at The Village Florist created a display for. I was totally overwhelmed, as were others who attended. The display was of an allotment, and was so detailed and personalised, that we were quite choked. I have used The Village Florist on many occasions and if sending flowers in Reading, I wouldn't use anyone else. They are lovely people, kind, genuinely caring, thoughtful and nothing is too much trouble. Their bouquets are stunning and every recipient is delighted and comment as to how lasting they are. Wonderful service from very special people.
Thank you so much for your kind words they mean a lot
Fantastic experience: Got my wedding flowers ordered from Tilehurst village florist and they did not disappoint- my bouquet was beautiful and all the button holes and little flower girl wands were so pretty definitely would recommend for any flower needs!
Thank you so much x

Thank you so much for your kind words x
Fantastic experience: Great service and beautiful flowers!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: No Complaints, absolutely perfect
Thank you
Positive experience: Thank you to the village florist for our wedding flowers including bouquets, button holes, long and low. The bridal bouquet was lovely with lovely colours thank you. The button holes were great, just could have done with 2 pins instead of one to make it easier to attach but nothing major. Lisa has been very helpful and responsive along the way. It was good value and really appreciated. Many thanks Maria and Clément 9th October 2021
Thank you for your kind words and your advice about the pins we would love to see some photos if you can email them to us xxx
Fantastic experience: Brilliant florist great service and great prices
Fantastic experience: Mum's flowers were absolutely beautiful, thankyou so much. The wreath arrangement looked perfect today,
Thank you so much for your kind words .
Fantastic experience: Placed my order for 12 x Roses to arrive on Valentines. The flowers arrived Sunday morning on time (which was good), but there were only 8 roses in the box. Edit: Called the owner who was lovely about it - they went above and beyond to put things right with no fuss.
I don't understand as we have no email and have been in the shop none stop and we would never send 8 roses out please call us on 01189420136 so we can sort it you may have the wrong florist .
Negative experience: I ordered the valentines florists bunch as a gift on Valentine’s Day. The flowers were shoved behind the bin when delivered very late in the afternoon which caused some of the stems to break. I have called and emailed to which neither have had a reply. I appreciate it was one of the busier days but a simple knock on the door and not throwing a paying customers gift behind a bin would’ve been nice! I wanted to support a local business instead of using a National company, wish I hadn’t have bothered. Awful customer service, I will NEVER be using this company again.
Hi James I am sorry you are not happy but I have no email from you and we have been in the shop none stop so I can't understand why you couldn't get hold of us as we would have definitely sorted this out for you we pride our self on making our customers happy
Fantastic experience: Ordered Saturday evening from Germany, delivered Sunday 9am. Great and friendly team!
Thank you for your kind words xxxx
Fantastic experience: Ordered flowers for my wife , they delivered them midday Saturday very pleased with them . Great service thank you
Thank you for your kind words x
Fantastic experience: I ordered some flowers for my mum retirement. With less than 24hours notice Lisa delivered on time and after clearing up a small error I would happily recommend. I have used them previously for funeral flowers and have been very happy. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: So friendly and helpful. We ordered a bouquest at 2.00 and it was delivered the same day. Our Aunt who received the flowers said that they were lovely.
Positive experience: Good friendly staff and lot of flowers
Fantastic experience: So helpful and friendly. We purchased a “Miss You Nanny” stone to put on grave yesterday and I left car unlocked and it got stolen (amongst other things). Went back in today as my daughter was really upset and they were so lovely and looked through the shop for another the same and also found me a Mum & Dad one. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended and will definitely be back .
Fantastic experience: Made some beautiful flowers for me for my dad's funeral really lovely people.
Fantastic experience: The staff were very friendly and professional when I enquired about my wedding flowers. I took in some pictures and explained that I wanted a wild flowers theme. They fully understood and made the images I had in my head into beautifully bouquets and button holes.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal service. It took just an hour from phoning to place an order for a delivery bouquet to them being delivered. Beautiful flowers, reasonably priced and friendly, helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: Fast efficient service, lovely flowers
Fantastic experience: The people there are friendly and always welcome you to the shop and very lovely chaty people.
Fantastic experience: I am young and just new out of uni that means very little money for my wedding. While looking around for a an inexpensive florist but still good quality we came across The village florist and they were a blessing. Lisa was ever so understanding of the budget situation and helped me choose the best flowers (as I’m useless). My wedding looked absolutely beautiful and truly made my special day amazing. I honestly will be using these for any upcoming events and the new husband will be definitely buying my anniversary flowers from there. I couldn’t recommend more for people looking for beautiful flowers at a nice cost. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Lovely helpful friendly staff and a great variety of blooms vases and gifts.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service fantastic flowers
Negative experience: Very disappointed. The flowers bought for £35 and delivered for my Daughters 30th Birthday have several dead blooms already. Only 4 days later. I will NOT be recommending this florist to anyone :-(
Fantastic experience: I ordered some flowers for my husband who was in the Sue Ryder hospice for our 21st anniversary. The person who took the order offered a very personal and friendly service. The flowers were just what I requested, bright, colourful and fragrant and two weeks later they are still going strong.
Fantastic experience: A lovely place to go! A local florist with very friendly staff. A wide range of flowers and a lovely little turtle on the side too! Very reasonably priced with free 30 minute parking nearby
Negative experience: I am disappointed with my recent experience from here. So my mum and sister had arranged for my birthday to have some flowers to be delivered to my place of work as a surprise they had asked if they could be delivered between certain times as I finish work early today which wasn't a problem they were told. But they wasnt delievered before I had finished so we go into the florist to be told they are still on the van now and will be dropped off soon which is a bit pointless now seeing as I know all about it and they are not going to be a suprise any more. The lady in store asked if I wanted them still I said well no there isn't much point now I just want a refund. All I got as a reply was ok then sorry about that. Safe to say that they wasnt really bothered and it will be the first and last time going there.
