Reviews of Miss Daisy

joannie

Absolutely Gorgeous! They did exactly as I asked and delivered on time. They were the best looking flowers that arrived for mom's funeral. I wanted a beautiful spring bouquet not the normal funeral type arrangement. These would have been perfect for any occasion. You will not go wrong using Miss Daisy, the owner was attentive as I gave my order and it showed in the display. AAA+++

Maddie Parks

I used Miss Daisy for my bouquet for my elopement & I am sooo glad I did! It was so perfect. I had sent several photos of what I was thinking and told them to just come up with something colorful, fun & somewhat funky/different! They did just that. I LOVED my bouquet. My dad & husband had went to pick it up from the shop & while they were there, my dad asked if they could make a quick arrangement for my mom & I for a “just because” surprise while we were getting ready for my wedding. He said they were super accommodating/helpful and came up with it super quick! He was very impressed. Those were so beautiful as well!! I had a great experience & would highly recommend Miss Daisy!

Tamara Isterling

Miss Daisy were fantastic. We ordered over 1,000 corsages and boutonniere for our event, with only a couple of weeks notice. The flowers were gorgeous, the price great and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the Miss Daisy team!

kathleen brogla

I live in Iowa and ordered a bridal bouquet and wedding flowers for my daughter's wedding in Las Vegas. When we picked up the flowers, I was blown away! They were ultimate perfection in design, color, and magnificent presence! I sincerely couldn’t stop looking at them and admiring their beauty. My daughter Lindsay said to me more than once, "Mom I feel so beautiful in my dress holding these flowers." Hearing your daughter say, “I feel beautiful” means the world. My hopes, and expectations were not only met but were exceeded. Thank You, Thank You Thank YOU Miss Daisy Flowers!!!!!!!!

Julie Mann

This is the second time I’ve used Miss Daisy for my mom’s birthday, and I couldn’t be happier. I ordered at 7:30 am and they were delivered around noon. The picture my mom sent far exceeded my expectations…stunning! My patronage is guaranteed and 10/10 would recommend!

Tiffanie Shaffer

I'm chose Miss Daisy Floral for my Vegas elopement and am so happy that I did! Communication wasnt perfect but it all worked out in the end with the bouquet being delivered to my hotel before it was time to start taking pictures. I felt like the price was a bit expensive for a single bridal bouquet but you truly get what you pay for. I sent them pictures of my inspiration bouquets and they came up with their own version. The day before my elopement I was texted a picture of the bouquet that they had made and asked if it was what I had in mind. I wanted to critique it a bit but I decided to just go with what they had created because of the hastle changing things could create. Let me just say the picture they sent me did not do this beautiful bouquet justice. So glad I stuck with what they originally made and so thankful they are so good at what they do!

Sophie Monk

I had Miss Daisy do all of my bouquets and boutonnières for my wedding this past week. They got to the venue before I had even arrived and were quick to respond to all of my emails. Jessica was awesome!! Would love to use them again for any type of event!

Abby Spachman

Miss Daisy is the absolute best flower shop! I’ve sent flowers multiple times to family and friends and they are always stunning! Jessica understand how to make arrangements pop and creat a masterpiece. Highly recommend!

Kristin D.

I used them for my intimate wedding last month and ordered just a few weeks before our big day. From the moment I emailed them a photo of what i wanted to the day of the event, everything went smoothly and with much friendliness. They were great about reaching out several times before our wedding day to make sure we were all on the same page about what i wanted. The flowers were fresh, beautiful and exactly what i was looking for! Thanks to all the ladies at Miss Daisy! @skin.rn.kristin

Lainey Reed

We planned to elope in Vegas less than 2 weeks ago, and I’m SO glad I found Miss Daisy to make a bridal bouquet for me! It was one of my only splurges for our tiny COVID wedding, and it was worth every penny! I could not be more pleased with the way it turned out! It is so beautiful and turned out even better than I expected!!! I got countless compliments throughout the day, and I really couldn’t be happier! Also, the process of ordering online and communicating the day of was so smooth and pleasant. I know this gorgeous bouquet is going to make my wedding photos look amazing, and it honestly just made me love wedding day even more! Thank you so much Miss Daisy!!!

Maggie Wade

Best flower shop in Vegas. The owner, Jess, is the sweetest and most talented florist. My arrangements are always far beyond expectation!!!! Couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to go back

Katie Moroski

I am in Cincinnati, OH and found Miss Daisy from a google search to send flowers for a co-worker's anniversary dinner. Everything was great from purchasing on the website to including delivery instructions to the restaurant. They sent a picture of the bouquet, which was icing on the cake! So beautiful and professional. I will definitely use Miss Daisy if I ever need flowers in Las Vegas.

Austin Brenner

LOVE MISS DAISY!!!! Every time I need flowers they are my first choice. Not only are the arrangements they make beautiful. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful in picking out designs, and top notch all around. The pictures are from flowers I ordered for my mother and my grandma for Mothers Day. They were overjoyed to see such elegant arrangements waiting for them. Hands down, best flower arrangements in Las Vegas!!!!

Olya Kun

This is a total hidden gem!!! I was absolutely blown away with how gorgeous the arrangement was that I had ordered for my mom for Mother's Day! Beautiful, fresh flowers, and done stunningly! I work at a high end floral design studio in Los Angeles, and finding a quality florist outside of LA is SO tough-- but look no more! I would recommend Miss Daisy to all of my friends and family in Las Vegas, you will definitely not be disappointed!

Amanda J.

We discovered this florist after searching for one that would deliver a westside area of the Valley. Miss Daisy is a diamond in the desert! Everything from the ease of online ordering, to the friendly and helpful experience you'll receive over the phone is the epitome of great customer service. The owner of the shop is so helpful and truly loves to create awesome arrangements and experiences!Talking to her was one of those experiences that sticks with you because she is so personable and friendly! We ordered a small arrangement as a little thank you to someone in our life who continuously goes above and beyond to make things great. Well, Miss Daisy hooked her up! The arrangement was gorgeous, and you can tell Miss Daisy has an artist's eye for detail. We love that the arrangement was fresh, perfectly balanced and so *different*! Trendy and unique! Such a breath of fresh air compared to the mass produced arrangements you'll find elsewhere. Plus, when you go with Miss Daisy, you are supporting a small business in Vegas. We love that. We were so happy with this experience, we've saved the phone number and website. This is now our go-to florist, for sure!! If you want something unique and modern that will bring a smile to your recipient, Miss Daisy is the place! Sincerely, Jackie and Amanda Update : Our mom had fallen ill and was in the hospital, so we called Miss Daisy to make her something to cheer her up. As you can see, they created a super lovely, artistic bouquet that's interesting from all angles! They're so good at this!! You've gotta try this place! Everybody at the hospital was jotting down the name because they want flowers from there too!!

Amy Moreno

So incredibly grateful for the AMAZING team at Miss Daisy! Jessica has always gone above and beyond with every floral arrangements I’ve ever needed. From last minute sympathy florals, to every celebration and milestone my family has celebrated. I highly recommend Miss Daisy and their fabulous team. The flowers are absolutely stunning and one of a kind!!! Thank you Miss Daisy!!!!

Danielle Dendewich

We found Miss Daisy Flowers through Instagram while we were planning a destination wedding in Vegas. I was trying to do the wedding on a small budget, and had found other florists to be out of my price range and not willing to work with putting together a simple floral plan that worked in my budget. Until I contacted the girls at Miss Daisy. Wow. They made it so easy, and were so flexible to work with. They didn't mind that my wedding was a small job for them and the prices were very reasonable too. When we picked up our flowers on the day of the wedding, everything was packed up super nice to preserve all the flowers and everything was as they said it would be. Everything turned out absolutely STUNNING and I could not be happier.

Jon Guimont

My wife loved the flowers & the service was excellent. Our hotel gave the delivery driver a tough time about leaving the flowers at the bell desk (we were out on the town at the time) but he made it happen. I will definitely order flowers from Miss Daisy next time I'm in Vegas...please don't tell my wife;)

Sarah Thompson

Miss Daisy did a wonderful job on my elopement bouquet. As someone coming from out of town, communication was very important. The Miss Daisy team was prompt and responsive. They made things really easy for me and the arrangement was absolutely beautiful!

Joanne Koutromanos

Amazing florist! They did such a beautiful job on our wedding and we were receiving compliments all night. Jessica, Amanda, and Erin were so helpful throughout the whole process and the day of. Wish we lived closer to use them more often!

Amanda Signorelli

I love Miss Daisy! The arrangements are always so unique and beautiful. You can tell they are made with craftsmanship and love. Every time I send out a bouquet - my friends comment on how distinctive the flowers are. But more importantly, they do same-day delivery - talk about a lifesaver. For those moments, where I wakeup and realized I accidentally missed a birthday or an occasion I can place and order through Miss Daisy and know they'll take care of everything.

Megan Vartorella

I am from Ohio and got married in Las Vegas on the 19th of August. I have been working with Jessica for several months describing my vision for such a gorgeous affair. Jessica was patient, kind, professional, accommodating & so talented at what she does. Miss Daisy exceeded my expectations. From the décor and the most gorgeous blooms I have ever seen, my night was what I was hoping for and much more. I cannot thank Jessica enough!

Jeffrey Teissedre

I am very lucky to have found this flower shop a few years ago. The service is always over the top and their arrangements are truely stunning. I have purchased single roses, many different bouquets and most recently a very specific custom color set of roses that were absolutely stunning and only took a few days for them to aquire. A shout out to Jessica Bear Down! and please ask for Jess who has given me the best service. Thank you all😊

Joëlle Dunbar

Jessica, the owner was very responsive and helpful. I called her from California to send flowers to my Aunt for her birthday. I refuse to ever use 800flowers again. Calling a local florist near my Aunt was better. I looked at many different ones. Im so happy I chose Miss Daisy. My Aunt received her flowers and was so very surprised. She said they smelled out of this world! I also loved that the note included was handwritten rather than typed. It was a very nice touch making it seem even more personal. Thank you to Miss Daisy for making my Aunts birthday extra special.

Anne Williams

Definitely five stars for this florist! It is so nice to have access to such a professional florist that takes such time and care with whatever it is that you need. I needed flowers for my wedding and they had me send them a picture of my dress and did such a beautiful bouquet I will definitely be going back to them for other needs. You can get flowers anywhere, but the customer service that comes along with the good quality is what did it for me.

Annie “Annie R” Russell

Beautiful flowers for my father’s memorial service. They really helped lighten the overwhelming emotions that day.

Tyler Robertson

Miss Daisy’s flowers are the best in Vegas hands down. Their service and atmosphere are top notch! They truly care about the customers and the unique custom arrangements they create. Thank you Miss Daisy for making it easy to order great flowers for same day delivery in Las Vegas!

Dana Arcicovich

What a wonderful company to work with! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff with an eye for floral design and great at recreating visions. I am from Detroit and had my wedding in Las Vegas. I must say it is very hard to plan a wedding in another state, let alone with a time change. Miss Daisy was amazing to work with. They stayed within my budget and had a visual floral proposal made up for me within a few days of letting them know what I was looking for. They were also very reasonably priced and very responsive throughout the whole process. The best part is on the day of my wedding everything was promptly delivered, and all the flowers exceeded my expectations. Everything was incredibly beautiful, and looked very similar to the photos and maybe even better. Amanda/Jessica and her team, were even kind enough to package some of my floral pieces up from my wedding for me, and send them to Michigan for us to enjoy at home. Don't waste your time looking for other florists, Miss Daisy's the best!

nilo barajas

Last minute, called for flowers for my wife. Can't express how beautiful this arrangement is. Thank you.

Angela Young

From start to finish, Miss Daisy is there for you! The communication was prompt throughout the entire process, even down to the delivery. They nailed my wedding bouquet and boutonnière, and perfect my envision of utilizing ostrich feathers. Their flowers are big, beautiful, and high end. The flowers even made it through the rest of our stay and flight back home after the wedding.

Austin Kearns

Miss Daisy is hands down the BEST flower shop I've been to. The staff (especially Erin, thanks again!!) were incredibly helpful and accommodating to my late request for Mother's Day. They went out of their way to ensure the flowers were on time and beyond beautiful. I won't go anywhere else for flower arrangements in Las Vegas!

Daniela Mischon-Gross

Jessica, the owner of Miss Daisy, is amazing! I live in Germany but wanted to send some flowers to a friend, who lives in Las Vegas, for mothers day. Miss Daisy made this work even I am 9000 km away. Im truly amazed how kind, helpful, but also professional Jessica was. My friend sent me a picture of the flower Bouquet and the flowers were truly beautiful! Thank you so much for helping me out and making this possible to surprise a friend which lives 9000 km away from me! I would always go with Miss Daisy again!

Bryana Anderson

I have many positive comments to say about Miss Daisy! I have been hosting parties for years; from Holidays to social events, birthdays, baby showers and all celebrations in-between, I depend on Miss Daisy to come in and execute my vision. My favorite part of working with this company is confidently knowing my vision and needs are surpassed what I could ever imagine. Every single event has been a HIT - and has been beyond beautiful. Thank you to the Miss Daisy DREAM TEAM!!! You truly are the best in the game!

Maija Eerkes

I ordered "Air Hug" online for a friend in Las Vegas. I was amazed at how closely her actual arrangement matched the picture on the website. My friend was thrilled! I would definitely recommend ordering from Miss Daisy.

Tracy Thornton

The ladies at Miss Daisy are awesome. They have some of the most beautiful arrangements to choose from and will customize your order or make last minute changes to ensure you're satisfied with your purchase. I can't stress enough how happy I am that I chose Miss Daisy over the national providers that always come to mind when flowers are needed. They are my 'go to' from now on. Worth every penny!

Love P

Perfect 10 for this business! Bouquet was awesome and everyone was very responsive! I received non stop compliments on my travels home from strangers to flight attendants to my photographer! Best part is my bouquet is still as beautiful today as the day it was delivered and we are on day 5!!! Miss Daisy is the best is Vegas!!

Inee Byun

Let me start with saying that planning a wedding from another state is never an easy feat. I had heard great things about Miss Daisy from Vegas locals and am so glad I trusted them for a recent destination wedding that I planned. Jessica and Amanda made planning from another state super easy and I can't say enough about how sweet and accommodating they were through the process. They went out of their way to make our lives easier and cheerfully dealt with our many, MANY changes and provided excellent customer service with the utmost professionalism. More importantly, they understood the aesthetic we were trying to achieve and brought it to life. They were also the only florists in town who had access to a chuppah rental and made everything so easy . As for the flowers, they were extraordinary. Lush, beautifully designed, picture perfect - so in love with how they turned out! Thanks, Miss Daisy- you guys are the very best!!

Elana Borchers-Sharnoff

AWESOME ARRANGEMENT AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I reached out to Miss Daisy to put together a last minute basket of flowers and snacks for a friends bachelorette party that I could not be at. They kept my budget in mind and delivered the next day to the Cosmo. The flowers, champagne and snacks were beautiful displayed in a nice basket and everyone enjoyed!! I will definitely use them again for future Vegas floral and gift needs. THANK YOU MISS DAISY!!

Sandra Bendavid

Miss Daisy did the flowers for my wedding and they were amazing! I order flowers from them weekly for my home and for gifts for my friends. They are accommodating and put out artistic and beautiful arrangements! Order from Miss Daisy and you will be in good hands!

Helen Morrell

Miss Daisy made me an amazing flower crown that was perfect for my wedding day - it was beautiful. It was also delivered to my hotel at the exact agreed time, as arranged. I had to make the arrangements by email from the UK and Erin was a pleasure to deal with - extremely helpful and always quick to answer my queries. Would definitely recommend

Donato Cabrera

Miss Daisy is an excellent florist whose arrangements always exceed expectation. The delivery is always timely and have never disappointed. Support a local florist and order your flowers through Miss Daisy!

Karen Forbes Hughes

The Daises created the most beautiful arrangement for my mom's birthday when she was visiting Las Vegas. I received a picture of the arrangement as it was created and a confirmation email after it was delivered. The website was easy to use and I appreciated all of the information I received along the way.

Johnny Lane

Every time I need flowers, Jessica and her team at Miss Daisy always deliver the most beautiful arrangements, and go out of their way to make it extra special for my wife. I’ve referred Miss Daisy to companies I work with, and they are always so thankful to have finally found a flower shop near the Las Vegas Convention Center that are easy and nice to work with even when it’s a last minute order!!

Erin Moran

Over the moon with the arrangement I ordered! Better than I envisioned and the manager Jessica was a doll to work with! Never going anywhere else in Vegas!

Emma Miller

We used Miss Daisy for an art gallery reception and for a private dinner event for our top VIP clients. Their quick email communication and responses made it easy to trust their vision and expertise. The flowers were fresh colorful and vibrant. The arrangements transformed the white walls/ concrete floor gallery space. For the dinners the staff carefully arranged each table and were adaptable when we added a last minute table. Very friendly and helpful staff, can't wait to use their services again!

Allison Boone

Miss Daisy always does stunning work! You can tell that care & detail go into every arrangement (succulents and flowers)! Their customer service is incredible, always so accommodating and efficient 🌸! I only order from them in Las Vegas 😊 …

reem awad

Flowers for my cousin’s baby shower were just as I had ordered! Erin recommened flowers that were in season in the colors that matched the theme and they turned out beautifully! Miss Daisy is the best in Las Vegas!

Emma Dinzebach Clark

I called very last minute and they made a beautiful tasteful bridal bouquet that made all the wedding photos beautiful. I thought I could skip the bouquet, but I am so glad I didn’t! And they delivered it to my hotel. It was all around 5 star!!!

TAMMI P

I cannot begin to express how wonderful it was to work with Jessica and Amanda to make our wedding day even more special. We're from Green Bay WI and had our destination wedding in Las Vegas. From the very first day working with them via email, they went above and beyond to make the most beautiful flowers for our wedding day and had them delivered to our hotel, just as promised. Very beautiful work and beyond pleased. Thank you again for making our day.

Hanneke DeCook

Miss Daisy is incredible. The owner Jessica Marshall really has such a gift with flowers and will walk you through every step of your ordering process to create and execute your vision. I can't say enough great things about this place! Perfect for ANY event you have (big or small)

Miss Genny S.

Recently contacted Miss Daisy for a floral delivery to an elderly woman. The amount of care taken by the Owner and Delivery person was second to none. Where else can you get beautiful, fresh flowers and amazing service? This is what florists should be all about.....btw....beautiful decor for those who visit your facility! Thanks! Genny

jose arvilla

My girlfriend passed away on August 3rd I haven't been able to do things normally im a while I miss everything about her . I waited till the last minute to get an arrangement for her funeral service that was to I call miss daisy's it was as if God was with the florist that arranged the flowers 💐. It really captured her essence and where she came from Hawaiian culture. It was a beautiful arrangement im very glad they could make something so special for the woman i loved thank you for the beautiful arrangement God bless you ❤

Taylor Staggs

Miss Daisy has the best customer service around. They really came through for me when I was in a time crunch. The flowers I received from them blew my expectations out of the water. Definitely my go to florist in town!

Julia Beard

I Went to Miss Daisy for a bridal bouquet and the owner was absolutely AMAZING! She was knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful flowers and great service.... hard to find a place that has both. Highly recommend!

Adam McCain

What a amazing flower shop and the office staff are awesome and extremely knowledge and helpful. The store can be hard to find if you follow Google maps at least it was not easy but they are right next to a large billboard sign that says emergency dentist. I highly recommend stopping by to see the variety of flowers and candles plus the place smells amazing.

Teryl Morgan

Miss Daisy always accommodates my last minute requests and helps me send flowers throughout the country and internationally. They go above and beyond with their customer service and always exceed my expectations. Never using another shop again!

J Abelson

Miss Daisy makes buying flowers so easy! She is always helpful and based on my needs or holiday she always delivers with great product. Highly recommend for anyone who needs floral in the LV area.

Matthew D. Werner

Wow!! Where do I start?! Long story short, I was sending some moderately promiscuous texts to an old fling and forgot about this little thing called iCloud. Needless to say the now wifey was not as enthused as my then paramour. Enter Miss Daisy to the rescue. The ever ebullient Jess Marshall and her team put together an “I’m sorry” bouquet even Kobe Bryant (RIP) couldn’t dream of crashing my party on (RIP). I can’t recommend them enough for resplendent flowers, exceptional creativity and FAST delivery. I was vacillating all over the place but their indefatigable commitment to making it right never wavered. 100 stars!!!

Brandi Alford

Miss Daisy always delivers exceptional arrangements. The flowers are lovely and they last. The only florist I’ll order from in Vegas.

Brianna Hofer

They saved me today! I ordered flowers online to be delivered to Davis funeral home then it turned out they weren’t gonna make it for the viewing TODAY. I called, explained the situation and they were able to find me a plant prep it and get it off within the hour to the funeral home. Thank you again so much!

Katlin Tom

Went to Miss Daisy on Friday to pick up some last minute flowers. The staff was super friendly and they made a beautiful arrangement for me. This will definitely become my go-to place!

Grace Dent

The arrangement was PERFECT! I wanted to send something to my best friend who graduated college, but didn't get a ceremony due to COVID-19. I live all the way across the country in Atlanta, GA, so it was so wonderful to be able to do something nice for her from such a long distance. They made her so happy - thank you!

Annette Sciallo

Customer service at its best, and gorgeous arrangement! Not something you come by very often today. Jess went over and beyond to accommodate my request and I am beyond grateful - thank you!

gina weber

We ordered a bridal bouquet with a specific idea of what the bride wanted and they met every expectation and more. The bride was happily surprised! What an amazing experience!

Shawna Feola

Outstanding! My mother in law absolutely loved the flowers we sent her. Her words “These are the best flowers I have ever received!”

Veronica Procter

Beautiful blooms and the birthday girl was very happy! Ordered from out of state-no issues.

Josh Abelson

We love using Miss Daisy for any of our floral needs for our events. They are great at executing the client's needs and can work with your budget.

Linda Gabriel

It was Valentine's Day. We needed flowers for a dinner party. The electricity, unbeknownst to us, had been out three hours. The lady handle our order efficiently despite loading a delivery truck on one if the busiest days of the year. Kuddos to all who work at this florist. We were out of towners.

Vanessa Hernandez

Chose Miss Daisy since it was one of closest flower shops to memorial service of a friend. Arrangement was beautiful and was delivered on time. I will use in the future and recommend.

Kim

The workers where super nice but the flowers cost a lot.

Christian Snyder

What an amazing flower shop?! I have relied on Miss Daisy every time I send flowers to my mom and she has absolutely loved every arrangement!

Krisztián Gellén

They opened at 9 am. Turned up a minute later with a big request no prior conversations. 9:30 I'm out, everybody happy. Great service!

james fiala

Miss Daisy rocks!!! Love the shop and the entire team. Refreshing to have such a friendly and accomodating flower shop near the Strip! They deliver too!

Alexis Marshall

Best flower shop in Las Vegas- hands down! Excellent customer service, beautiful arrangements and they always deliver with smiles on their faces. Thank you!

R Mizzle

Deployed military. Ordered flowers the day before my wife's 30th birthday. She received them on time and was very happy. Thank you guys so very much. 10/10.

Ezra Fowler

It's a nice store. Great cards. The cash and carry prices are a bit high for cut flowers, but I appreciated the service and the vibe of the store.

Gimme 702

Great service, great products, would come here everytime!

JAMES PARNELL

This place is awesome. These women are good at what they do. Was driving into town and wanted to grab something quick. Beautiful flowers at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

The most beautiful heart shaped flower arrangement I have ever received. Great service and best quality flowers.
