Joy and jealousy, desire and dejection, solitude and sadness, loyalty and love — flowers echo each voice of the human heart.

While the symbolic and legendary meanings of flowers were known to many during Elizabethan times, it was the Victorians who assigned simple messages to individual flowers. Introduced to the Swedish court in 1714 by Charles II, the Victorian mode of flower language soon spread throughout Europe.

During this time of strict protocol and conformity, men and women used the beauty and color of flowers to express emotions, wishes and thoughts they dared not speak, and every corsage, bouquet, and garland represented a carefully chosen sentiment. Presentation was also important; for example, a bouquet with a ribbon tied to the left told about the giver, while a ribbon tied to the right signified the receiver. Upside-down bouquets portrayed the exact opposite of the flowers' common meanings: to receive an inverted rose was the ultimate form of rejection. Read more

    I live in Florida and was unable to attend the funeral of my Aunt. So, I ordered flowers from their website and hoped they only looked half as nice as what was shown online. Well, let me assure you what I ordered looked 10 times better than what was shown online. I highly recommend Al Wilhelmy Flowers for any occasion. The arrangement was absolutely beautiful thank you, thank you, thank you for providing such a high quality product.

    After a poor experience at another florist down the street on Lorain avenue next to the library I came here and was greeted warmly and assisted in a courteous and friendly manner and left with a beautiful fall arrangement.

    Amazing value. Beautiful arrangements. On time delivery. Super friendly and helpful staff. After getting ripped off by the big online websites, I decided to go local and found out not only is it actually cheaper, the quality is light years ahead.

    Great shop. I ordered an arrangement for Mother's Day for my girlfriend's mother and they beautifully arranged the bouquet and made so that the delivery was exactly on Mother's Day at the perfect time. Despite ordering from online, they still fulfilled my order perfectly. I would have no doubts using them via their online store.

    Thank you so very much for the speedy service. The flowers were beautiful! My husband's aunt ended up staying with another family member after her accident.... so the delivery location was changed and your driver accommodated us by re-routing the flowers to still arrive on her birthday. Thank you thank you thank you!
