Laurel's On Whyte - Edmonton

My friend brought me here and I was surprised that this little storefront had so much inside. You can even venture into the basement where there are a whole assortment of things to find. They have a great selection of plants and flowers. It's just a difficult spot for easy access to parking in the Whyte Avenue district.

Wanted to support a local business for my mom's birthday instead of going to a big retailer and was very disappointed. There wasn't a lot of room on the website to add special requests. I didn't want any white flowers for cultural reasons. Never received a call or email or text to say if that was possible or not. So I called in and asked and the gentleman said that the white flower was removed. Didn't tell me if it was replaced or what it was replaced with. I asked that it not be chrysanthemum and he tersely replied that I hadn't specified that. I explained that there wasn't enough room on the website and that I thought someone would call me. He said "fine, I'll take it out". I asked if there were any on there, and he said he didn't know. All in all it was not a very pleasant phone interaction. When I went to pick up it looked like the flowers had seen better days and were a little brown along the edges. The "white flower" was replaced with a yellow carnation - which I thought was tacky and cheap. It was also a rose instead of an orchid which was the main reason why I ordered it. The gentleman was completely unapologetic and just said that "it says on our website". The lady there was very sorry and said that they just didn't have any orchids right now. I'm aware that the website says "Flower varieties are dependent on availability." but it would have still been nice to have been advised when I called about my order. I really like the arrangements on the website and I found the price to be reasonable. I really wanted this to be my go to place, but I guess I will have to find someplace else.

John & his team have helped us celebrate so many special moments in our own lives and other's from our wedding, romantic moments, or "just because"! We trust them entirely to deliver fresh + beautiful arrangements consistently and at every opportunity! Laurel's has mastered making special moments all the more memorable and is the first shop I recommend to anyone.

I ordered the most stunning bouquet for my mom for Mother's Day. She said it was the most beautiful arrangement she had ever received, which is perfect because that's exactly what I was going for. I also received an arrangement myself recently and just loved it. It's so nice to find a local flower shop that does such unique and beautiful, high quality arrangements. I've found my new go to!

Thank you for the beautiful corsage you made for daughter's high school graduation. It was just PERFECT! I had requested white, gold, and delicate and got something even better than I could have imagined. Thanks again.

Laurel's On Whyte floral shop in Edmonton does not disappoint! Ordering floral arrangements from Calgary for a friend in Edmonton couldn't have been easier, either online order or by phone. Last Christmas, when I left ordering flowers to the very last minute, and when other florists in Edmonton were not able to fulfil my order, Laurel's came through with no issues at all, even though my order was the week before Christmas. Realizing that their stock had been depleted by then (they didn't have anything left in red), and that their staff was harried and being rushed off their feet, I simply asked for a festive floral arrangement at their own choosing with what they had to work with, within my price range, and to have it delivered in time for Christmas. The owner himself assured me that they'd have it delivered on time. Left to their own creative devices, the arrangement turned out stunning and, coincidentally, it's light pastel colours matched my friend's Christmas tree's ornamentals almost perfectly! We couldn't have been happier with it. The photo attached here is the latest arrangement which I ordered for my friend's birthday. As she is originally from Mexico, I asked that the bouquet have a good variety of colours contained within it. Again, they came through with a beautiful and varied assortment of flowers. My friend was delighted with both the surprise and the bouquet, as was I when I received this photo. Laurel's On Whyte remains my trusty "go-to" florist in Edmonton.

We loved our wedding flowers and got so many compliments on them! They made such a difference in our decor and were gorgeous! We also rescheduled our wedding several times due to the pandemic and Laurel’s was so kind and accommodating each time. I would highly recommend them for your wedding flowers (or any flowers)!!

John and his team took care of all the floral details for our wedding and did a beautiful job. They were organized, efficient and had great communication throughout the process.
