I tried to go this weekend to see some flower ideas but the doors were locked. I saw a dog in the shop so I knocked. No answer. I called the phone number. No answer. I looked at the hours (clearly) posted on the door they still had 3 hours before closing time. Its a shame I really was excited after reading the past reviews.

I got flowers for my mother for her birthday. When I walked into the store I wasn't really sure what I was looking for but the woman behind the counter was so helpful. She had a beautiful selection of flowers for me to look at to get an idea of what I was interested in. The arrangement that was delivered to my mother was gorgeous and she loved it so much she couldn't stop thanking me. I would definitely recommend Ixia.

Barbara (owner of Ixia) made picking my wedding flowers a pleasure -- and the flowers could not have been more beautiful or perfect. I met with Barbara and brought pictures of flowers from magazines, my wedding shoes, a swatch from my dress, groom/groomsmens ties and even one of our wedding invitations! As you can tell, I did not feel confident in being able to articulate just what I wanted -- so I gave Barbara big picture with many little pieces, hoping she could pick just the right flowers.
And Barbara did exactly that. I didn't see any of Barbara's ideas prior to my wedding day -- I just put my trust in her. On my wedding day, the flowers were delivered by Barbara at exactly the right time, and I LOVED them! My bouquet was stunning -- and the other flowers for the wedding party were fantastic. The flowers were high quality and beautiful. Barbara had combined the right style and colors for just the right effect -- my bouquet was an amazing compliment to my dress and the groom's lapel flower was just the right size and color. I'm not a huge flower person, but I loved my wedding flowers and highly recommend Barbara and Ixia.

Okay, so before the dinner at the Ethiopian restaurant I went to get some flowers here. I must say, they have a wonderful selection and the owner is very polite. She has great sense of style with the flowers and is very thorough with her work. I was pleased. I appreciate even more so that she cuts the flowers at the stem so she can put them in a mini-water-bottle thing to keep them fresh, as well. Really, I hope this business does well : As someone else says, these flowers as the owner does them are clearly a work of art. Also, she has a cat who tends to make his presence known by sleeping amidst the flowers, and is very welcome to attention from customers. So those of you that are deathly allergic may take note. Those of you that love cats, will probably be more absorbed by the happy kitty than the flowers.

I use Ixia for work. The owner has a fantastic sense of style that's really modern and innovative. The flowers are quality and a good, sometimes untraditional mix, they do amazing things with bright and unexpected colors. She delivers and sets up the arrangements for us, which is great, one less thing I have to worry about. It is a bit pricey, but for modern-type arrangements, the best. If you're looking for something more traditional/romantic, check out Saville, I love them too!

For my engagement, I wanted a flower shop to sneak into my girlfriend's apartment and turn it into a jungle of flowers while we were out to dinner. I spoke to a few different flower shops and Ixia was the only one that was happy to work with my schedule, which meant working late. The flowers and setup were gorgeous. My priority was volume but they couldn't help themselves from spending a lot of time on the design. I wouldn't say that the final pricing was a deal, but it was done right, and that was the priority for this occasion.
