Alex's East End Floral Shoppe (Alex's Flowers)

We heard about Alex’s shop on the radio and decided to meet with him based on some of the other reviews we saw. Alex spent about an hour with us to find out what we were looking for in terms of types of flowers, the look, etc. He did a great job explaining some things and giving us options as we had no real idea of what we wanted when we walked in. We knew nothing about flowers, but Alex obviously helped there! Alex checked in with us a few weeks before the wedding to make sure everything was set for delivery and what not. There was a small mix up with our delivery, but Alex got it corrected quickly and we had what we needed for our ceremony. His shop is not cheap, but the arrangements looked great and helped tie our look together. We’d definitely recommend him in the future

Alex is genuine, easy to work with, and his work is flawless. I loved the turnout of my arrangements. He took my awful and brief description of my vision and made it come to life. I highly recommend him!

I initially met with Alex when I was still trying to decide between real or silk flowers. He helped me choose flowers within our budget and that matched our color scheme for our bridal/bridesmaid/flower girl bouquets and our boutonnieres. He also worked with us to split our delivery to two places, since my husband and I were getting ready separately. Alex created beautiful arrangements for us and delivered them on time!

We worked with Alex for our July 2018 wedding. Alex was such a pleasure to work with. I didn’t have specific flowers or colors in my mind when I went to meet him, but he helped to guide me and what he came up with was absolutely beautiful. He worked within the budget I had in mind I was so happy with the results. I would highly recommend Alex’s East End Floral for your needs.

I would like to highly recommend Alex's Flowers for your wedding florist. Our wedding flowers were amazing and we got so many compliments on the arrangements at the reception! Alex was incredibly helpful and accommodating. His level of professionalism is second to none. He was very patient with us as I changed my mind a few times over the course of planning and he worked tirelessly to get my vision down perfectly. His communication far exceeded my expectations and his staff was extremely friendly. I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out!

Alex did a great job with my bouquet and my husband's boutonniere! I initially came across his business card randomly at a local ice cream shop and contacted him over email to get up a meeting. He was extremely professional and worked with me on finding a date to schedule. When I met him in person for the first time at his shop, he was so kind and very thoughtful. He kept my needs in mind above all else and was great at answering all of my questions! I loved how many options he provided in terms of photos and artificial bouquets to look over both in his store and online. I went into the entire experience not really having any clue what I wanted in my flowers but after getting to meet in person he really helped me create an arrangement that I loved! He put together a small example just from fresh flowers he already had and that gave me a better idea of what I might prefer. I was so surprised when he let me even take a small arrangement home free of charge! Even though I shopped around town, I ultimately went with Alex because of his competitive price and willingness to show me how much I mattered as the customer.

I knew as soon as I got engaged that flowers would play an important role in setting the tone for our wedding. I wanted bright, fun, colors and fresh bold textures and Alex and his team 100% delivered. He was very accommodating to my hectic schedule, often meeting with me after hours to sort out details. I wanted the flowers at my reception to bring color and energy to the tables without feeling overwhelming and Alex was so great at taking my vision and bringing it to life. Thank you to Alex and the whole team at Alex’s East End Floral!

Our wedding flowers were amazing-even better than I could have ever expected! Alex was incredibly helpful, made sure we understood everything we were getting and his staff was incredibly friendly the day of the wedding. They delivered all the flowers right on time and transported everything to the reception venue with ease. Incredibly easy to work with and highly recommend!

We loved working with Alex! We had a very complicated and specific request for the flowers at our wedding and Alex rose 🌹😉 to the challenge! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and were exactly what we were looking for. We had several guests compliment the arrangements and they all absolutely loved throwing the rose pedals at the end of the ceremony! Alex and his staff made the venue look even better than we could have imagined. Not only were his services spectacular, he was a pleasure to work with, he was calm and confident about any last minute changes we made, and just a fun person in general! We would definitely recommend him to other brides and grooms! THANK YOU ALEX!!!

Alex was such a pleasure to work with. He was patient and very thorough when we met at his shop to discuss centerpieces and bouquets. He did my sister's wedding last year, and my wedding last month. Alex is not only very talented, but his prices are even better! He was so accommodating, thorough, organized, and detail oriented; a bride's dream!

Alex and his staff provided the most beautiful flowers for our wedding this past weekend. When my then-fiance and I first met with Alex, he really captured our vision and while he gave great suggestions, I never once felt that he was trying to up-sell me or pressure us into choices we didn't want. We wanted simple but beautiful centerpieces, and that's exactly what we got. The bouquets were gorgeous and everything ended up being very affordable. He was great to work with, easy to communicate with, and I would definitely recommend him to others (in fact - I already have to a girl I know, and she booked with him too!).

Alex was very nice and organized. He had the flowers delivered on time to the church, and they were amazing. The bouquets and flower pins were done beautifully. The only reason why two of the flowers broke off was because I wasn't very careful with them. He gave me a free throw bouquet, and it was with real flowers (which I expected to be fake). Lastly, very affordable! The price they offered was the cheapest compared to other florists I have visited in Pittsburgh. Thank you Alex!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Alex. He made the flowers for our ceremony and provided to floral decorations on our wedding cake. From the moment I first talked to him on the phone he was so kind, passionate, and truly cared about me as a person and that my wedding was special. During our first meeting we brought me examples of flowers to really help me visualize our ideas come to life. He was SO flexible as well. The week of the wedding I made last minute changes and he was so nice about it and made. He provided amazing guidance (when I really didn't know 100% what I wanted). Getting to the actualy arrangements, THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL! They were the perfect size, so full and wonderful. I wanted a very 'whimsical' look and he captured it beautifully. Everything arrived on time and so smoothly and I could't be happier. He even touched base with me the day before to make sure I didn't need anything. I highly recommend Alex and his shoppe!!

Alex was a pleasure to work with. Our wedding day flowers were absolutely beautiful and even better than I envisioned. Alex was very responsive and always available to answer my questions or make a change to my flower plan. He also provided many helpful recommendations. He did all the coordination with the church, baker, and reception the day off leaving me with nothing to worry about. The church, reception, and cake looked beautiful thanks to him. Thanks Alex for helping to make my wedding day special!

I was pleased with the quality of the flowers we received, overall. My bridal bouquet featured coral roses, september daisies, seeded eucalyptus, other greenery, pink hypericum berries and succulent accents. The succulents were not the nicest regarding quality - they looked a bit sickly, but they completed the bouquet as I'd hoped. Our bridesmaids bouquets featured many of the same folliage as mine, minus the roses and succulents. They also had dusty miller, which was wilting by the time the ceremony completed. I was a bit disappointed that the flowers weren't delivered in some kind of water - or even if the florist had just recommended to me that the flowers be placed in a vase pre-ceremony, that would've been helpful. The florist messed up almost all of our boutonnieres as well. The only one correct was the groom's, which included a coral rose, hypericum berry and hint of baby's breath. The fathers and officiant were to have the same as the groom, and I think they were correct, however they weren't labeled as such. We had extras too - including one for a ring bearer, which I explicitly said I didn't need. Lastly, the groomsmen's were supposed to just be hypericum berries, greenery and september daisies. Instead, they matched my husband's. Not the look I was going for. All in all, I was pleased with the flowers, although working with Alex could be difficult at times. I emailed him corrections at one point, and when he called to verify, he had them mixed up. I'd still recommend this florist, but I also felt like it was a bit overpriced ($10 for two sprigs of baby's breath for my bridesmaids' hair!)

We couldn't be happier with Alex's Flowers. My daughter had somewhat of an idea of how she wanted her bouquets to look for her wedding, but didn't know which flowers to use. Alex, ever so patiently, weaved through her thoughts, asked questions, showed her flowers and found exactly what she she was looking for! With every change he was calming, patient, accommodating, nothing but professional! The flowers arrived at the church and the reception looking better than we ever imagined! I would absolutely use Alex's Flowers again!

Alex was a delight to work with. We learned about him because he is the flower vendor for my church. We worked with him directly and given that I am ignorant with flowers, we put it all in his hands and it came out beautifully. He is a very relaxed and easy man to work with - I explained our colors and thoughts for the style (what we wanted and did not want) and he ran with our idea and made it an amazing reality. The man knows his flowers and knows what he is doing completely. I trusted him 100%. He was very responsive through email, given that we live abroad, and even sent us pre-wedding emails to make us feel assured that he was on top of it all. And he was. We were very grateful for his work and dedication to his passion.

Alex's Flowers was wonderful. Alex talked through everything with us, laying out our options and making very helpful suggestions. He was very flexible and accommodating, based on our changing needs. Our bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and ceremony plants were all beautiful, and stayed beautiful throughout the night...and days after! :) The prices were VERY reasonable. We can't recommend this florist highly enough. And his office is right in Shadyside, which was very convenient!

Alex's attentive approach to my couple was the beginning of a perfect floral presentation at their wedding! Every arrangement and floral bouquet was outstanding, reflecting Alex's professional signature! -Chris Taylor, Day of Ceremony Services

Alex is wonderful and very helpful and accommodating. He was willing to do anything and also willing to help cut down prices in any areas I needed. I loved my bridal bouquet. The centerpieces were nice, but not as full as I would have wanted them. I was a little disappointed with them. Overall though, great service and very enthusiastic!

I looked around at several florists- and by far Alex was the best! He is the most professional florist that I met with. He was always in contact with us through the year long planning of the wedding. He worked with me to choose great flowers- and helped again when I completely changed my mind! He gave us options the help save money- and worked with us to make the bridal bouquet the best it could be for the money I could afford. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex to any bride. You never have to worry about Alex- his commitment to quality and customer service is top notch. Thank you Alex's Flowers for my beautiful wedding flowers!

I received Alex's information from a co-worker who had used Alex for her wedding --and who had a glowing recommendation regarding his work! I have a very simple and not cheesy taste when it comes to flowers, and wanted to keep everything fun yet classy. Alex listened to all of my requests, and had some great ideas himself! Not only were our wedding flowers perfect, but Alex's services are offered at a great value. I would highly recommend Alex's Flowers for anyone looking for beautiful yet affordable flowers for their wedding!!

We highly recommend Alex's Flowers! We had a very specific vision and aesthetic for our wedding flowers, and Alex took lots of time to meet with us to look at pictures, understand exactly what we wanted, and make recommendations based on our preferences. On our wedding day, he got everything exactly right and just like we had imagined! Alex is a professional who has years of experience as a florist in Pittsburgh. This is what sets him apart - You can fully trust him to make the flowers perfect on your wedding day and go the extra mile for you to make sure everything is just right. We HIGHLY recommend that you go meet with Alex - you will see what we mean!

Alex did the flowers for our reception and ceremony. They were stunning. STUNNING! Working with Alex was not only so much fun, it was simple and he was so flexible and reliable. And to top it off a great person! I had a specific request for our centerpieces, and he went above and beyond to make sure that it happened. I would recommend Alex to anyone for their wedding. Every flower looked amazing and to top it off, he was the most affordable florist that I spoke with and that did not influence the look or quality at all. Bottom line, Alex is your guy, and he will not disappoint.

Alex did the flowers for our ceremony and reception, and it was exactly what we wanted! He was very professional, friendly and responsive throughout our planning process, and provided helpful opinions and feedback. He had experience working with our (somewhat uncommon) venue as well, which was reassuring to us. The flowers looked beautiful, and really pulled the spaces together.

Alex is the owner/operator of this shop and he will work with you directly. He was the guy there on my wedding day. He really cares about you and your wedding. Super friendly!

I highly recommend Alex's Flowers for your wedding florist. Alex was wonderful to work with, and he offered many great ideas for both my wedding flowers and my reception flowers. He knew how to accommodate my style in my venues using in-season flowers perfectly. I received many complements on his bouquets and centerpieces. I really appreciated that unlike other vendors I consulted, Alex was very upfront about the costs of specific flowers and arrangements, and was always suggesting lower-cost, equally-beautiful alternatives. He's definitely the friend of a budget-conscious bride and very willing to work with your specific requests. I loved his creations!

For me, there were good things and bad things about Alex's Flowers. Good: He was very friendly, helpful on the wedding day, and affordable. Bad: I guess you get what you pay for, because I was not happy with what my flowers looked like. They were wilted and the bouquets were falling apart. The centerpieces at my reception were sparse and chintzy, and looked nothing like the test design that Alex put together for me.

We all know that planning a wedding is challenging but planning a wedding out of state, 1200 miles away from your venue was even more challenging. I found Alex's website on theknot.com and after our first conversation I had full confidence that my flowers would be beautiful and exactly what. Alex was understanding,extremely easy to work with and always available by phone or email to discuss any concerns. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Alex to any bride getting married in the Pittsburgh area.

My daughter's wedding was two weeks ago and we were really fortunate to have chosen Alex's Flowers. His designs were creative, memorable and very reasonably priced. He was extremely easy to work with and coordinated his Sunday morning efforts with the caterer, the venue and the religious folks too. He and his team arrived early and made sure everything went smoothly, especially when we had to convert the ceremony space back to a ballroom quickly. His team was great - the bride and groom were ecstatic and all the guests commented on the beauty of the space. He helped make it a really terrific day...

We had a great time working with Alex! He knew what my "vision" for my wedding was, even when I wasn't able to really explain it (all I had was a pile of pictures and some color preferences). My bouquet was the perfect size, and I absolutely loved the colors of my bridesmaids' bouquets paired with their dresses! Alex worked with us to customize centerpieces - he even searched for, and found, me a blue delphinium orchid to be submerged instead of the standard white that he normally used. He had worked at our venues before, and gave us peace of mind about both the chapel and reception site. At times during my planning period, communication got slow, but I was probably worrying when I didn't need to (in the last few weeks before our wedding, we confirmed all details and everything worked out perfectly). Alex decorated our cake table with lovely accents, and really all of our choices looked beautiful - he often suggested more affordable types of flowers for us (no up-selling)! I couldn't have been happier with our choice! We had a rather large reception, so the cost added up with table centerpieces, but we are very happy with Alex's work!

I initially visited Alex's Folwers because it was the closest florist to St. Paul Cathedral and Phipps Conservatory(it's also in my neighborhood). I chose Alex's Flowers because Alex was incredibly personable and took pride in his work - plus the price was AMAZING. Alex did a great job listening to what I wanted for my weddign and helping me solidify my "vision." I was worried that what I wanted would be far beyond my budget. He sat down with me and put together a proposal with everything I wanted. He told me that we could work from there to stay within my budget and get me the things I wanted the most. One of the things I wanted the most was peonies. Unfortunately, with a late July wedding and a dry summer, they were just not available. He helped me select a substitute that I loved - lisianthus. Alex is a great communicator from listening and executing my ideas to clear estimates and invoicing.

I had a limited budget for flowers, but I wanted my center pieces as well as the bouquet and flowers for the bridal party to be elegant. Alex did above and beyond my expectations...he truly is a master florist! He did not dilute his gift just to meet my budget; he created top notch arrangements that captured the essence of my wedding theme which was vintage elegance...Alex's Flowers is definitely the best!

Although I ended up using someone that was a friend of my mom's I did meet with Alex and he is great. Very easy to work with and will help you stay in your budget!

We got married on June 30th and used Alex's Flowers. I will start by saying that our flowers were BEAUTIFUL!! At the beginning of the wedding process, Alex sat down with my husband and I to get some ideas going. Alex listened to everything we asked for and was very flexible with all changes along the way! We even made changes the week of the wedding and Alex was able to accommodate us. He is very easy to get in contact with and always helpful. Alex allowed us to pick anything we wanted and had some really great ideas for us! I love leopard print and Alex was even able to incorporate a classy touch on the stems of our bouquets! The flowers were sooo beautiful and I received so many compliments! I would recommend Alex's Flowers to anyone! =)

Alexs Flowers In Pittsburgh, Pa. did the flowers and centerpieces for my wedding. They were simply beautiful. My Bouquet was very pretty and my girls carried Complimentey accent flowers. The centerpieces we lovely. I would recommend Alex to anyone getting married in the surrounding Pittsburgh area.

We LOVED our flowers for our wedding from Alex's Flowers. Alex made every step of our experience of buying flowers easy and enjoyable. For my initial consultation, the owner, Alex, sat down with me and spent two hours listening to what I had in mind. He would pull flowers from his cooler to show me what he thought might work. He gave me several options for everything and never pressured me. His prices were extremely reasonable and the flowers I ordered came out beautifully. I will definitely be using Alex's Flowers in the future for any flowers I want to order.

My flowers were just beautiful. I was very happy with the florist. They took time to deliver and were very helpful at the consultation. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Regardless of how many times a bride changes something it is the vendors responsibility to make sure it is correct the day of the wedding. About 90% of my arrangements were made incorrectly. I have a witness that was there when I said several times I want "soft" colors and my pink roses were a hot pink instead of soft, they started to turn brown within a few hours after the ceremony (which tells me the flowers were old and not fresh ones) All except my bridal bouquet and corsages were made correctly (that's all I give him credit for). He has not been trying to resolve the errors by refunding me majority of what I paid and that made it even worse. I will never recommend his services to anyone.

I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that used Alex's flowers. I found that the appointments for the flower selection relied more on my ideas than the florists, he didn't have anything but pics from the 80s. The bride in question didn't care much so she just chose whatever. The flowers were, in the end, poorly done and not suitable for a wedding on a hot day. They all wilted. My bouquet was dead before the ceremony was over. It was basically just one flower tied with some ribbon. You're better off getting grocery store flowers.

Alex was wonderful to work with and he made us beautiful bouquets from pictures that I sent him. Unfortunately a few of the boutonnieres were wilted, but otherwise everything was impeccable. The centerpieces he put together for us were exactly as I pictured them. It was thrilling to see everything I wanted come together so perfectly!

Alex was very attentive to my wants and needs. I had a budget for flowers that I wanted to stick to and he surpassed my expectations while keeping costs down. He made it very easy to be up front if i didnt like something and made changes until i was completely satisfied! He was great and my flowers were beautiful!!!

Went with someone local but they had good prices. I would recommend them to anyone.

Please do yourself a favor and don't use this vendor. Not only were my flowers dead on arrival, but he did not deliver all the flowers that I paid for. He even forgot some handmade items that he insisted on having prior to the wedding. They also nickel and dime you for everything. Please take my advice, do not use them for anything. I wouldn't even rate them with one star but it forced me to give them some kind of star.

The amount of detail Alex played was amazing. He knew his flowers and made some great recommendations that really enhanced the wedding.
