I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Central Square Florist for the incredible care and kindness they showed us last year during the funeral of a dearly loved one. The arrangements were absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed with all of the flowers that the deceased truly loved. Everything came together so perfectly, and it meant more to us than I can express! They went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating an early service by providing the flowers outside of normal store hours. Their courtesy, compassion, and attention to detail made such a difficult time a little easier. I was even able to preserve some of the flowers in resin, which speaks to how fresh and well-crafted they were. I’ve also used Central Square Florist for birthdays, events, and other occasions, and every experience has been consistently wonderful. The flowers last a long time, are beautifully packaged, and clearly handled with care. This is a florist that truly cares, and the pricing is worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a wonderful experience. I couldn’t recommend Central Square Florist more highly.

Amazing! I used Central Square Florist to send thank you flowers to a provider, and the process was quick and easy. In less than 12 hours, the order was delivered. Additionally they reached out personally when they saw some special instructions I left. I was pleasantly surprised at the personal touch. Will definitely use them again!!

Beautiful flowers with fast delivery. Our family had been loyal Winston customers for 10+ years but the arrangements kept getting smaller and smaller. Really impressed with Central Square and will definitely be using them moving forward. I was particularly impressed at how beautiful the flowers were even during valentines week.

Central Square Florist is fantastic! I ordered a mix of white and blue hydrangeas for my daughter for her birthday. They were beautiful, fresh, arrived promptly and with notification to me that they had been delivered. I’m happy to have found a friendly, helpful, reasonably priced florist that I can rely on! Thank you!

This was my first time ordering a same-day-delivery flower bouquet and the Central Square Florist team did amazing! Within minutes of submitting my order online, they quickly emailed me asking about the address (there was a typo) and about a card message (I forgot to insert one)— I really appreciate their quick response and attention to detail here! The recipient loved their flowers (“Sunshine” with 6 roses). If I ever have to send flowers again in Boston, I know who to go to now! Shoutout to Jackie who took care of my order <3

Phenomenal service and beautiful flowers! After a restaurant event planner fell through for flowers for my sister’s birthday weekend event, I reached out to Central Square Florist on a Friday and Jackie and her team came through just in time.. They even adjusted completion time for needed delivery details. My sister and her guests were thrilled and it added the special touch I was hoping for. Highly recommend!

Jackie Levine and Emma the floral designer did an incredible job bringing our “Baby in Bloom” vision to life for my daughter’s baby shower. Every arrangement was filled with gorgeous, healthy flowers that were vibrant on the day of the party and are still stunning a week later. Each vase had its own unique look, yet everything came together perfectly as one cohesive theme and aesthetic. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and eye-catching the flowers were. The flowers truly made the celebration feel extra special and memorable. Working with this team was an excellent experience, they made everything easy leading up to our event and day of the delivery.

I had an incredible experience working with Central Square Florist! We recently had a small baby shower lunch at Porto and the restaurant's Events Manager recommended working with Jackie at Central Square Florist. Working with Jackie was a total dream - she was so responsive and gave great recommendations after listening to what I was looking for. She was very transparent about pricing and offered multiple options to meet various price points. Jackie and the Events team took care of all the delivery details and arrangements were absolutely stunning and I couldn't have been be happier. (I was told Emma was the one who made the arrangements, so, thank you, Emma!) We took the arrangements home and they are still beautiful and fresh a week later! Can't wait for a future opportunity to order from Central Square Florist!

Ordered flowers to the hospital for my brother and SIL welcoming their new baby. The florist was in communication throughout the day to let me know when they could deliver. They were a pleasure to work with a the flowers turned out beautifully!
