Watkins Florist

I contacted Watkins Florist to create a corsage and boutonniere for my son's junior prom and the result was exquisite! I described my vision and it was perfectly executed. From the excellent customer service, to the stunning flowers chosen, I highly recommend Watkins Florist for any special event.

They are awesome! I needed flowers for my CEO, and they were so helpful. They talked though what I needed, and even ran it up as soon as it was ready and sent me a picture of the arrangement. If you need flowers, I will use Watkin's!!

Picked up a peace lily for my wife in remembrance of her recently passed grandfather a month ago. Today I counted 11 blooms. I've never seen such a beautiful peace lily (and customer service was incredibly helpful and kind).

I was so pleased with the online order and next day delivery of a most beautiful arrangement to my son’s mother in law ! The arrangement was even prettier than the picture offered ! This florist will be my go to florist for my Raleigh family !

Great experience! First time purchasing from Watkins. I will give a summary below:

*Best Florist I've ever experienced in Raleigh/Wake Forest area, by far.
*Customer service it top-notch!
*They are friendly, knowledgeable, and they prepare amazing arrangements.
*I wasn't sure what to get for a friend whose mom passed away. I wanted a plant, and a flower. What I was looking at on the website wasn't available, so they suggested this.(See picture) My friend and her siblings absolutely loved this plant.

Thank you Watkins for providing such a great experience. I will definitely be back. 😊

Excelente service!! I love this florist, my flowers were just perfect! Thanks ED ..

I needed something very unique- a floral wreath using the colors and flowers traditionally used for condolences, in Ukraine ...their designer, Jib, created this gorgeous arrangement....it meant a lot

I placed the order around 1:30 and to my surprise the flowers were delivered around 3:30 the same day. Watkins Florist was kind enough to also text me a picture of the arrangement before it went out as I asked, since I live in Michigan and flowers were to be delivered in Raleigh NC. The arrangement was beautiful. Outstanding customer service and delivery. I will certainly use them again. Note, the first picture is before delivery, the second one is after delivery.

I placed the order before they opened at 9 and the delivery was on my mom’s doorstep before lunch. Mom said the delivery person was very friendly and she was thrilled by the size and colors of the flowers. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

I love the pot and the dark pink hydregna that you delivered. Thank you again for your over the top assistance. Martha

Watkins "Flowers of Distinction” is quite an appropriate name for this master florist. Their work is extraordinary, definitely distinctive.

I discovered them quite by accident when searching for a florist near the church where my cousin’s memorial service was to be held. I must say, the process of working with their talented team--starting with owner Ed Carpp--was a complete pleasure, and the result was spectacular. I wanted something that would appear as a single arrangement for the service but which could then be separated into three smaller arrangements for each of her grown children to take home. She was a pianist and piano teacher, so I requested a design which would offer a nod to her talent and success in those areas. This wonderful company not only came up with a magnificent design but also told me about their unique custom fixtures for exactly this modular purpose, which have U.S. patents pending.

Ed and his team are true creatives (he’s a classically trained pianist himself) and innovators in the field of constructing unique floral designs. The final arrangement, in beautiful red and white with musical-design ribbons and miniature keepsake piano ornaments, was something I was very proud to have sent for the occasion. I am 100% delighted with this company and would absolutely call them again anytime I need truly distinctive flowers.

They took the time and effort not to leave the flowers in the extreme heat when my sister was not home. Delivered the next day! I can't thank them enough for this huge consideration!

When I was late to place an order for a funeral service, John sent a stunning plant to the home of my sister-in-law's family. John went above and beyond and made it extra special. Thank you, John.!

I called and the person who answered the phone name was Ed... he was absolutely wonderful made me excited about purchasing from them. He was very knowledgeable and explain to me a few things I didn't know about arrangements. I would send a strong recommendation to all to ask for the sales person name Ed and not only would the person you are shopping for be happy but so will you!!!

I have been buying from Watkins for 20+ years! My mother was blown away at these flowers for Mothers Day! With Handmade card. They are artist with flowers. 👌🏻

What magical work Sallie, Ed and their team do.
Our mother's funeral service was made so much brighter with these glorious bouquets!

I ordered flowers at 11am and they were delivered before 1pm. They are beautiful and I appreciate you guys.

Beautiful and timely delivery!! My niece was in awe with how lovely the bouquet was and the pretty card I purchased from your site. Thank you for the great service!

Beautiful arrangement as always. Watkins does fabulous job. Thanks for making this Valentines special

This florist has amazing customer service! I called from Michigan for assistance with an out-of-town delivery and their accommodations were outstanding! I called several florists in that area who would not assist me, but Watkins Flower of Distinction came through! They're definitely in my contacts as the #1 florist for Raleigh, NC. Thank you so very much!
