From what I hear the flowers were nice. They were for an out of town funeral. My issue with them was I was not informed of delivery charges etc. which is fine but telling someone upfront is just good business. When I called to ask about the charge on my card first I told well our wreaths don't even start that low ( well the price I told her was the correct price) then it was you know gas is not free, which is fine but again upfront pricing!

I called Flowers and Designs by Ernest for a very special weekend. My girlfriend and I came to Beaufort NC for the weekend so I can ask her to marry me. F&D were very accommodating and helped make a very memorable weekend with a beautiful bouquet and rose petals.

I called near closing time to send some flowers to my Sister. They were very accommodating!

My friends husbands funeral was Sep 1st. The day before the funeral I took her bere to get an arrangement made. She's never had an arrangement done before. The blonde older woman that we dealt with was very RUDE! She spoke to my friend like she was a complete idiot. Talking to us like we didnt know what we wanted etc etc. My friend wanted red white and blue flower stand up arrangement done bc of her husband served in the army. The day of the funeral the flowers werent even the arrangement she ordered! And also to expensive! I will not recommend this place to anyone!

Wonderful! Ernest was able to help me out on my wedding day when my previous arrangements for my bouquet fell through at the last minute. Within 10 minutes he created a gorgeous bouquet of red roses, wrapped simply. They were perfect. He also took the time to pick the best ones he had in stock. He truly saved the day! Thank you so much!

I ordered flowers for my girlfriend who lives in Morehead City. The flowers she received were sooooo beautiful and lasted for a long time! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The flowers weren't your normal cookie cutter arrangement you could get from any florist, they were unique and GORGEOUS! I would recommend this florist to anybody for any occasion!

Ernest was a life saver for me. My husband passed away in Sept. 2014 and a day before the viewing I went into Beaufort (we live out of town) to get someone to make a casket arrangement. I was recommended to another florist but they didn't have anything that I wanted. I was so upset because I didn't know what to do in such a short time and not knowing the location.

I was told about Ernest's store and off I went. When I arrived at the store I thought they were closed but I was welcomed in. I explained to him what I wanted and if he could have it the next day. Yes he said. He told me that some of the flowers I wanted might not be available due to some funerals the day or two before but he took me to the back to see what he had.

That said a lot to me about the type of person he was. Of course I had him to make the arrangement and it was perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything better. This was such a busy, crazy day for me and I was so upset but after leaving his store I knew I would be ok. I promised myself then that anytime I needed flowers from this town he would be the person that I would do busy with.

Today I am about to order a flower arrangement for my husbands grave and I know I don't have to worry about it. I hope to visit Beaufort in a few weeks and I cant wait to see what he did for me. I will always be a customer of Ernest and I will be sure to let all family and friends know about his store. If you want the Best, go see Ernest! BJC from Clayton NC.

Two years in a row I have ordered flowers for my Mom from Flowers and Designs by Ernest. Last year she had to go pick them up herself after they failed to deliver to her place of work, which is just yards away from their business. This year they were not delivered and when she stopped by they "had no record of the order", yet I have the charge on my card. Terrible service! Never again.

I needed to order flowers for my Mothers birthday, and I live several states away. I ordered an arrangement 30min ago to be delivered to her house, and I just got a text from her saying she received them! For a last minute person, the experience was so great. The delivery was fast, extremely affordable, and the woman who answered the phone was so helpful in helping me decide what to order. But most importantly, my mother loved the flowers!

My husband and I have used them many times in the past 5 years! Everything from anniversaries, birthdays and las minute drop ins. Beautiful flowers each time! Even when I drop by needing flowers on the fly they always get a bouqet ready for me in about 15 minutes! Great knowledgable staff!

Flowers and Designs by Ernest did my flowers for my wedding and for my grandmothers birthday party. I can not even describe the quality of the flowers that Ernest uses for his arrangements, they are fresh and amazing! His unique ideas and designs had everyone in a daze of how great they looked. It was hassel free and a huge weight off of my shoulders. I will for ever continue to use Ernest for my florist. Thank you so much for the amazing work you have done!
