Praise for Serenata Flowers

As today is International Women's Day, I thought I would send some flowers to my mum.

Cheaper than Interflora, plus I found a discount code :D Ordered these ones. Tracking feature is handy too. Just got a txt off mum saying she loves the flowers! :T

    I second that praise.

    I sent my mum who lives in France flowers through Serenta for her 60th birthday. She was so happy with them and said the flowers were really fresh and in great condition.

    The bouquet I went for came in 2 sizes so I bought the larger one. My mum said she had to use 3 vases and was really happy as she had flowers all over the house.

    Edited to say: I am glad I didn't go for Interflora as another ex-pat in the same village as my mum had received some flowers through them a few weeks before and they were very disappointing. She had a conversation with my mum about do you just say thank you to the person that sent them knowing that they didn't get a good service for their money or do you tell them knowing that your kind of bad mouthing the present they sent.

    I ordered some flowers from Serenata for my girlfriend last week and I wasn't impressed with either the quality or the quantity. I won't be using them again.

    I have to admit, when I saw the actual flowers I was a bit disappointed as some of them weren't in bloom at time of delivery, but my mum was adamant that was better as they would last longer. When they blossomed, they looked lovely. What ones did you order?

    A selection called "Beautiful Smile" (currently £29.99) - IMO definitely not worth the asking price. My girlfriend loves flowers so she put them in a vase straight away but a couple of the flowers had already looking a bit sorry for themselves when I saw them a day after delivery.
