"Wow! This florist is beyond amazing. They are the only florist I ever use now. No matter what you order they make it so special and wonderful. This arrangement I ordered today was so joyful and perfect for my sister in hospital. This florist has a gift that not all florists have. They always put a special energy and touch to their work that you can tell comes from the heart. You can see it and feel it in how they present their gifts and flowers that are ordered. It doesnt matter what occasion, hey come up with the perfect arrangement. I recommend this florist so much that I would say to everyone dont look anywhere else. Best Blooms is all you will ever need for any floral work. Not just 5 stars but definitely 10 stars plus. Thank you Best Blooms"
"Flowers were lovely and the patient really liked them!"
"Incredible service. I had selected a delivery date and due to a change in circumstances I actually needed the gift box delivered earlier than what I requested, Best Blooms accommodated my request without any hesitation and saved the day. My grandmother loved her surprise. Thank you Best Blooms, I will definitely be using your services again."
"Beautiful flowers exactly like the website representation. Delivered immediately. I found the ordering process on the website very confusing, but got there in the end. It was helpful to be able to talk with the Best Blooms staff on the contact phone number."
"Nice options and prompt delivery. Thank you "
"A stunning bouquet that my sister loved for her birthday! The delivery driver even waited for her to open the door to say happy birthday, rather than leaving straight away which was really lovely! I live in another country so it was great to be able to have same day delivery with a reliable service! Thank you!"
"Flowers were better than the photos, beautifully prepared and the delivery was fast. Very happy girlfriend! Will certainly use best blooms again. "
"Hi loved the flower arrangement and Mum loves it too. I would have appreciated an email saying it had been dispatched or delivered just so I don’t have to ruin the surprise and check with the recipient. "
"The wreath was beautiful and included the last request for other colored flowers to be included."
"The flowers were so beautiful, and Mum was very happy! This was also an overseas order and the whole order from choosing what I wanted, to the note and delivery were seamless I will definitely be ordering again! Thanks, Vanessa"
"The flowers are absolutely beautiful and the photos on the web site are true to the flowers received Highly recommend this fantastic florist "

Chinese Valentine’s Day is also known as Qixi Festival or the Double Seventh Festival. It is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar and has a history stretching back over 2,000 years.
Qixi Festival is inspired by the traditional legend of Zhinü (the Weaver Girl) and Niulang (the Cowherd) — two star-crossed lovers separated by the Milky Way, allowed to reunite only once each year. The story symbolises loyalty, patience, and enduring love.
