  I live elsewhere but I wanted to send flowers to someone who lives in the area. Boesen was recommended along with HyVee. SO glad I chose to go local!!! Wasn’t sure what I wanted, but wanted something elegant in my price range. The arrangement my friend received looked far more expensive than what I paid!! Would definitely use again, and recommend!

  Update: After my original review, the owner finally reached out to me and we had a conversation about the issues with the wedding flowers. We discussed the color concerns and ultimately agreed on a $1,000 refund. I appreciate that he eventually contacted me and worked toward a resolution. However, it took over a month to receive a response, and the process was much more difficult than it should have been. We will be using part of the refund to pay our photographer to edit the floral colors in some of the wedding photos so they better match the wedding color palette. My original concern has never been about the quality of the flowers themselves. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces were beautiful. The issue was that the colors used did not match the burgundy/wine, dusty rose, and blush palette that was discussed and approved during the planning process. I wanted to update my review to reflect that a refund was provided. At the same time, I think it’s important for future couples to know that while the flowers were beautiful, the final colors were not what we had planned, and it took considerable follow-up before our concerns were addressed. The flowers for my daughter’s wedding were beautiful, and the bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces were all well put together. Communication throughout the planning process was also very good, which is why this experience was ultimately so disappointing. The biggest issue was that the floral color palette did not match what we had discussed and approved. During our meetings, we reviewed a specific palette of burgundy/wine, dusty rose, and blush tones, along with fabric swatches and inspiration photos. However, the flowers used on the wedding day included noticeable lavender and fuchsia tones that were not part of the wedding color pallet. After the wedding, I reached out to Boesen's wedding coordinator, to ask why the colors were different. She apologized but said the flowers were “magenta” and “bright wine,” not purple. I sent a photo comparing the flowers to the approved color palette, but never received a response. I also reached out to the owner and did not hear back. What disappointed me most wasn’t just the color issue—it was the lack of follow-up and accountability afterward. Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events, and the details matter. While the flowers themselves were beautiful, the overall design was not what we had planned, and no real effort was made to address our concerns. I’ve used Boesen for years, both personally and professionally, which makes this experience even more frustrating. Based on the quality of the flowers alone, I would have given a much higher rating. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and resolution after the wedding left a lasting negative impression.

  Beautiful dish garden. Better than the picture. Same day delivery was not an issue at all. Thanks Boesen! Everything was great - as always!!

  This is where he goes for all the big occasions, but my favorite time to get flowers is "just because". He often comes here and picks out what he wants from the available selection. My favorite arrangements have included the very difficult to obtain "Cappuccino Roses", "Mocha Roses", as well as the garden roses. These stems lasted so long! He recently brought me here to help him pick out flowers for his grandmother's birthday. The selection in the floral cooler was pretty extensive. We chose a few key eye-catchers which the florist rounded out with a few other stems. The prices are very competitive, and the staff was very helpful. I can see why he keeps coming back here. This place is great!
