I love Willow Creek Florist! Their service and design is impeccable, truly a step above the rest! Their staff is friendly and helpful, and each and every design is one-of-a-kind! When you send flowers and gifts through Willow Creek, they not only send the product, but they are sending an extension of the love and the appreciation you are conveying to your recipient! Thanks, Jay Johnson! You are my flower go-to every single time!! Highly recommend!

The flowers I received were STUNNING! The color choice and flower combination was exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend said he only told Jay that I liked lilies and color…and voila he came up with this gorgeous arrangement! I also love that there are some long-lasting flowers included :) Very happy with these :)

In Jay's words

Situations Jay handles every week

An occasion that deserves more than a catalog bouquet

Every Willow Creek arrangement is custom designed rather than mass-produced. Customers call and describe the recipient and the occasion; one reviewer's boyfriend mentioned only that she liked lilies and color, and Jay designed the rest. Flowers are sourced from the best farms for freshness.

Sympathy flowers that need to reach the funeral home on time

Sympathy and bereavement work includes standing sprays, crosses, fireside baskets and casket pieces. Jay coordinates delivery and timing with the funeral home or church when the service details are given over the phone.

A lobby or reception desk that should always look fresh

Weekly floral service puts a designer's arrangement at the front desk on a schedule, and interior plant installation and maintenance keep the greenery healthy without staff having to think about it. Hotel lobby entries and office displays are part of the portfolio.

Holiday decor for an office or home, including take-down

Custom Christmas and seasonal decorating covers fresh trees, garlands, wreaths, poinsettia displays and full lobby installations, with on-site staging, installation and take-down handled by the shop.

Thanking clients and staff in a way they remember

Fruit baskets, gift baskets and appreciation gifts are designed for businesses that want to thank customers properly. One business owner describes Willow Creek as a valued partner for exactly that.

Weddings and events that need one florist from consultation to the day

Bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies and receptions, plus corporate conventions, seminars, celebrations and retirement parties, are handled from the first consultation through the event itself.
