These guys absolutely nailed our wedding. They did such incredible work on such a reasonable budget. We were very worried a florist would be condescending to us when they learned our floral budget for our wedding however the staff did everything we wanted and more within budget and their setup was not only professional but fast and clean. They even tidied the venue once the flowers were up to make sure the venue was pristine. There was staff overturn during our booking and the new employee reviewed every email and hot herself up to speed without any assistance from us. As much as you may expect this - it was a huge relief to feel taken care of no matter what. I absolutely suggest using Academy for any big event!
Ive followed this florist on instagram for years. Just a few months ago i finally started ordering a few smaller bouquets from them and they were all beautiful. So when i got engaged this past winter i knew i wanted them to help me with flowers. After a few consultations and quotes we did choose Academy as our florist for the wedding. They were very helpful and understanding of what we wanted and any changes we had to make due to our ever changing wedding plans because of covid-19. The flowers they did for us were beautiful and everything i'd dreamed of even if we had to cancel a large portion of our florals. Dealing with Brittany was a pleasure.
This morning I got flowers from a friend, however, he didn't know my apartment number but someone from the store said that they would figure it out. Well, a lady from the store called me to say that I got flowers but that she needed my apartment number spoiling completely the surprise. The person that paid for the flowers is very upset, and I am very frustrated because this was supposed to be a very nice surprise but it turned out to be something nice but expected.

Needed a last minute condolence bouquet and they were able to accommodate. Unbelievably good service!! Thankyou so so much!
Great staff. Lovely selection. Wonderful place. Would highly recommend.
Loved the smell and feel of this place. Loved the boutiques and felt terrible for ever believing Safeways flowers are just as good. These are the ones I needed for my wedding 12 years ago. Wow, loved it
Darlene made two beautiful arrangements for my husband's celebration of life - they were absolutely gorgeous!
Fast a good service on Father's day
I booked Academy Florist to provide the florals for my wedding and I could not have been happier with the way that my flowers turned out! From the minute I sat down with Irene to share my vision, I had complete confidence in her and her team to deliver exceptional quality bouquets and centrepieces. I was/still am obsessed with my wedding flowers. I cannot recommend Academy Florist enough!
Beautiful shop and beautiful work.
Very professional and friendly,service was excellent
A female who was obviously having a bad day grudgingly helped me to get a bouquet together-- many of the flowers in the cooler were obviously past their due date so she finally ended up going to the "back" to get fresh ones-- she even told me that they try to get rid of the ones in the cooler first since it was a weekend and these were the last of the flowers that have not sold throughout the week. The small bouquet for which I paid 40$ lasted only two days was underwhelming to say the least. Never going back again-- bad vibes do not make for happy flowers or lasting customers.
I ordered from another city, describing what I wanted for my mother's Solstice B-day flowers and couldn't be happier! Academy Florists interpreted my description beautifully and my mom was thrilled! I
Friendly and welcoming staff
Order flowers for delivery. Everything went extremely well and the use of their web ordering system was seamless and efficient. I would highly recommend them.
Amazingly talented designers; most experienced florists in Winnipeg for sure. They can handle anything, and they make sure that you are happy.
I have had all kinds of good experiences with Academy Florist. I have used them personally and corporately. My wife and I used them for our wedding and they did just such a spectacular job with everything. Irene is such a gem! Thanks!
Helpful staff, excellent flower arrangers and decent prices.
The service is exceptional. great value and fast service. Thank you !
I used Academy to deliver a bouquet to my wife when I was out of town (yes I forgot an important date) because I knew that it would be done with care and would be done on time. I was not disappointed, my wife loved the bouquet and i was out of the dog house for awhile.
I bought 3 calla lilies on Saturday. They turned brown by Monday. Phoned the florist and was offered free replacement immediately. Now THAT'S service!!!
Great selection!
This company listens and understands your needs. Great product! Great Service! Academy Florists have not let down their guard. Their continued high standard of product and service keeps me coming back. Try them out. You won't be sorry.
They made me a BEAUTIFUL floral arrangement on the spot, I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks for the excellent service ♡
Quality selection, hassle free service...my go to florist in Winnipeg
Needed flowers for a friend. Stopped in and found parking on the street. Walked in, the decore and layout is beautiful. Lots of little gifts and a nice scent of flowers. A lady came over to me and asked if I needed help. I told her I wanted daisies and she made an arrangement. She wasn't very friendly and didnt look very happy. She did make a nice arrangement and it took about 15 mins. Price was fair.
Wonderful cut flowers - Had a Designer's Choice Bouquet arranged for delivery and they were 5/5 stars beautiful.
great flower selection that always looks great! my fave is the pop-up flowers! Everyone there is always so nice and knowledgeable~
Received adorable bouquet from my boyfriend. They even offer no contact delivery. Well wrapped in damaged adorable packaging. Cute arrangement. Thanks so much :)

Very friendly and quick service. I called at the last minute for a wrist corsage and they had it done in a few hours.
WOW!! AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, SIMPLY MARVELOUS. IRENE PUT TOGETHER A STUNNING BOUQUET FOR MY WIFE AND I 34TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. MADE HER CRY, JUST WHAT I WANTED. YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!, 10 OUT OF 10 STARS
Beautiful store, but the service is a bit subpar and the fresh it's don't last as long as other shops in the city.
I've used Academy Florist for years and they are hands down the best in the city. They have the highest quality flowers and provide excellent service as well. We've chosen them as our wedding provider and I know they'll do an amazing job.
BEAUTIFUL flowers. Stunning arrangements and bouquets. One of my fave florists in the city. Also... Small business done RIGHT. When a few stems went South the day after delivery, these folks made it right and delivered a fresh bouquet. I definitely wasn't expecting an entire bouquet, maybe even just replacement stems, but they went ABOVE and BEYOND. THANK YOU!
We use Academy Florist to celebrate employee anniversaries and other significant days. Everyone is always happy with the display!
Absolutely beautiful arrangements. Very knowledgeable designers. Just a fantastic bunch!!!
Could not find the plant I was looking for but the staff were very friendly and helpful despite this.
Most fresh flowers, premium quality, large assortment. I love details & their flowers are sone of the best I've ever bought. We used this florist for our wedding, hostess flowers, special birthdays, etc. Irene is wonderful at helping select just the right flowers for the occasion.
Beautiful arrangements. Used them for our wedding!
Edit: Wow!! Truly blown away by Academy's customer retention. I've seen too many local businesses take a poor review the wrong way, only to lose that client forever. Emily was great in handling my case; I was given a full refund for the order I wasn't happy with, and a complimentary bouquet that's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Really impressed and happy.
I have used Academy Florists for years now. Service is phenomenal and the quality of the flowers is always top notch. I am on their monthly "Hero" program where flowers are sent to my wife every month, automatically. I highly recommend it.
Masters of the art. This is a flower shop of the past, present and future. Excellent shop
The staff are friendly and helpful. Flowers are always fresh and beautifully presented. Academy florist is my favorite flower shop!
Lovely friendly staff and a beautiful selection of flowers and accessories to choose from!
My go to flower shop for all occasions. You can definitely tell from their bouquets and arrangements that they put real genuine care into them. Lots of friendly happy staff. Great selection. Good consultation services with quotes almost being exactly what it costs for. Larger scaled events. Great online shop with prompt concise delivery with the instructions you leave them.

Very friendly staff!! I needed help finding an arrangement for my Wife. They helped me through it and it was a big success. Thank you
Amazing selection and arrangements. The ladies are so lovely!! You definitely know that they love what they do and stop at nothing to make their clients happy!
I ordered an arrangement online from their website, not completely knowing what would be included in it, only really knowing the price. When it was delivered the next day my wife cried. (That's a good thing, trust me). They were beautiful. Excellent job
Thank you for my beautiful Admin Prof arrangement! ????????????????
I received flowers today from Academy and I must say they are breathtakingly stunning. Academy Florist is incredible and a cut above the rest.
gorgeous flowers and lovely staffs????
Amazing selection and awesome customer service. Irene and her crew will absolutely take care of you. Worth the trip????
Great service and bulk flowers. Always busy but the staff is helpful
Our vow renewal celebration flowers from Academy Florist really helped make the decor we had come alive, and their service on our wedding day was top rate. The lead up to the day was equally as wonderful with staff assisting us along the way, reducing any stress we had at every turn. Thank you very much to the team from Academy Florist.
I have now used them several times and have always been amazed at the quality and value of their flowers and their arrangements. Flowers are fresh and the arrangements are beautiful. They do an awesome job. Pictured is Designer's Choice Arrangement - Deluxe.
They made me a BEAUTIFUL floral arrangement on the spot, I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks for the excellent service ♡
We had the pleasure of working with Academy recently on micro-wedding and they did not disappoint. It's always a pleasure having them do my couples wedding florals.
Called in my order after perusing their website, paid and assumed all was fine. Order was delivered to my daughter by another company (!?) but it was not what I chose. When I contacted both academy and the delivery florist (bloomex) neither took responsibility, nor were willing to correct the issue. Didn’t get what I paid for and very disappointed at the lack of customer service. Beware.. if you’re ordering here, you may get pawned off on their “contractor”. And if an error is made by either of them, nothing will be done as they point fingers at each other, and you’ll be left in the lurch.
Beautiful flowers! Kind staff!
When I initially received the bouquet I had ordered I was not happy which can happen as people have different tastes and visions when it comes to creating something as specific and personal as a flower arrangement, However the management of Academy florist handled the matter extremely professionally and made sure that I am happy and satisfied as a customer Definitely recommend Thank you Irene Ash
My husband spoils me with flowers from Academy Florist. The bouquets are always original and beautiful. The arrangements and flowers choices are delightful. You will not be disappointed ordering from Academy Florist for any occasion. I would like to thank them for the stunning arrangement I received for Valentine’s Day
I would highly recommend Academy Florist on Corydon for all of your floral needs. My wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and exactly as discussed while ordering. The staff were highly knowledgeable, professional, and skillful at floral arrangements. Thank you Academy Florist for making my wedding day flowers such a special and beautiful part of our day.
Ordering online is extremely convenient! The Bouquets are always beautiful. Ample street parking in front of the store. Their Instagram page is always up to date , making sure you know the items that are currently available. The only Florist in the city I go to and recommend to others.
Thank you, to the Academy team for your commitment to quality and customer service! This is my "go-to" florist for Winnipeg. Many thanks from Toronto
I had ordered flowers for my mom's funeral service just a few days before the service and while I was in a different province. I had initially called another florist closer to the funeral home who said they could not accomodate our request for arrangements with white and red roses at the last minute. Well Academy Florist delivered the most beautiful arrangements which had an abundance of white and red roses. It was exactly what my mom would have wanted. I will use Academy Florist for all my flower needs in Winnipeg. Thank you so much for bringing beauty to an otherwise heartbreaking day.
Sold me $95 roses that wilted after 3 days. I emailed them photos and no one cared to get back to me. Try Charleswood Florists. Much better service.
The flowers are beautiful. I got a bouquet of designer choice garden style for a friend’s graduation and they were perfect.
I contacted Academy Florists of Winnipeg from Waterloo Ontario. Lori was a fantastic, helpful florist that made my on line shopping experience a delight. Keep up the good work.
The first few weeks of covid quarantine was tough on everyone. Getting fresh bouquets from their curbside pick up was the one thing I was looking forward to every week! Thank you for the beautiful flowers always.
The florists here are amazing. They always create the most beautiful arrangements and somehow manage to know what you want without you even asking.
Academy Florist never let's me down. Thanks for all the help over the years.
I guess I should give them at least one star because I'm hoping it was just a bad day. I was dealing with another "Big Florist" in the area and although I gave them a week's notice they failed me totally. So I looked for another shop and came across Academy. It was less than 3 hours until the dinner and I was desperate. I walked in with high hopes and when I began talking with the young lady behind the counter my hopes fell off the cliff. She was dead pan, emotionless and displayed no courtesy whatsoever. I knew within two minutes that I had walked into the wrong place. It was a horrible, horrible experience. She should not be allowed to deal with the public and her place was probably in the back of the store. My guess is she was the owner’s daughter or something. No right thinking Human Resources manager would ever hire her. I'll never set foot in that place again, no matter how long I live and I suggest you do the same.
Absolutely beautiful flowers, selection and service. Thank you Irene!
(Translated) I'm on vacation around here the first flower shop I found to send a birthday bouquet they took great care of me and the arrangements are very nice (Original) Ando de vacaciones por acá la primera florería que encontré para mandar un ramo de cumpleaños me atendieron súper bien y los arreglos Están muy bonitos
not half bad but very pricey
Helped to make my 25th Anniversary a great day
Academy has been a consistently reliable and high quality florist for me over the years. They did the flowers for our wedding, and I've used them to send bouquets several times without incident. Yesterday (Mother's Day) I was reminded of how good they are; two different people had sent me flowers for the occasion from two different florists, one of which was Academy. The academy bouquet showed up on time; the delivery driver waited to confirm I had received the flowers before he left so that they didn't shrivel from the cold abandoned on the doorstep; the bouquet was fresh and beautiful. This is in stark contrast to the other bouquet I was supposed to receive from a different florist, which showed up a full 24 hours late, was dumped hurriedly on our doorstep upside down, and was half wilted. Moral of the story, go with Academy.
I worked with Academy Florist for a corporate event I helped organize at the Winnipeg RBC Convention Centre. Honestly, I cannot say enough positive things. Kyla worked closely with me to design a floral arrangement for our centerpieces that matched both our budget and our theme and the rest of the staff ensured all of our needs were met from delivery to pick-up. I would not hesitate to use Academy Florist again and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!
Don’t waste your time here. Staff are rude and not willing to help. Came in with the intentions of buying a bouquet, ended up leaving with nothing. There are a lot of other flower shops in the area that deserve your business!
Once you have visited Academy Florists, you will have a difficult time shopping elsewhere for your flower needs! The store is bright and airy and the flowers are GORGEOUS. Check out their roses-- the most stunning & largest I have seen! The arrangements will definitely not disappoint!
Great selection and quick walk in service
I got flowers for my Valentine from here and I gotta say they knocked it out of the park. Store was very busy but well managed and alll the arrangements inside were really very pretty. My love is very happy with the flowers which makes me a very happy man. Thanks!
Very nice windows displays that caught my attention, good pricing for bouquets and single additions, with helpful and very kind staff.
Such a lovely flowers! Thank you!
Irene and the staff at Academy Florists can take your ideas and turn them into beautiful arrangements. No matter the budget or occasion, they always have a solution that is sure to WOW you.
Exemplary customer service. This is a company that really wants their clients to be fully satisfied, and is willing to 'go the extra mile' to ensure that. Thank you... and well done!
Easily the best florist in the city. Blow my expectations out of the water every time! Fantastic service, fair pricing, and the most gorgeous flowers. Never going to one of those big 'online services' again for my flower delivery!
Just got a beautiful bowl of orchards today and they were were lovely!
Great selection at every price point.
We've used Academy Florist a number of times and we've always been really satisfied with their products and services. You can visit the store and tell them what you're looking for (e.g. price range, colour options) and they walk you through a number of options and put it together on the spot if they're not too busy and you have some time to wait (e.g., 15 minutes). They also have pre-made arrangements for purchase. The store itself is very clean and professionally put-together and staff have always been nice, knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciate a store that is flexible and customer-centered ;)
I love Academy Florist, they did a excellent job of the mothers day bouquets I just ordered. They have a nice shop and although you sometimes have to wait a short while, they will always help you out if you need something quick. My only criticism would be that they could improve how fast they respond to emails! Otherwise a great florist and definitely my go to in Winnipeg. Keep it up!
Very impressed with the service and flowers we recently purchased from Academy Florist. Our dear friends were getting married in their home and I picked the beautiful garden bouquet to give them. Firstly it was easy to order online, secondly it was ready and waiting for us when we wanted to pick it up, and lastly the chosen flowers were amazing! Peonies, roses, Astilbe, and others, in such lovely colours. A great job done by all involved. Thank you!
Ordered a bouquet for Admin week for my assistant. We work in a hospital. Clear delivery instructions were provided, including calling my assistant at drop off. However my assistant was not called and the bouquet was never received by her.
Academy Florist were incredible to work with . I wanted to send flowers to a dear friend and being from Chicago and not knowing anyone in the area was worrisome. People in Academy Florist were very attentive , kind and very easy to work with. I can’t praise them enough. Flower arrangement turn out to be stunning and my friend couldn’t stop raving about it. Thank you for an amazing job!!!
When your arrange to have flowers to be delivered on a certain day as a celebration to a very special event , and the recipient receiving a phone call 30 minutes after the order was placed which was in the morning of the day BEFORE the scheduled delivery well that totally ruins the surprise and defeats the whole purpose!!
The owner, Irene called to help rectify the situation with the arrangement my mom and I bought for a funeral. She explained to us the situation, and was very apologetic about what happened. We appreciate the level of customer service that Academy Florist has when it comes to correcting mistakes. She could've easily just apologized, and left it at that because it wasn't her fault and a situation out of her hands, but she offered us compensation which is above and beyond what we expected.
Nice and very accommodating staff with making custom bouquets if they don't have what you want
The flowers you arranged for our loved one's funeral service were gorgeous and received many compliments. Thank you so much!
Ordered a wrist corsage and boutonniere. The corsage was definitely underwhelming and the boutonniere was so heavy it could not be attached to the jacket. The only good thing was that they were ready quickly.
I’ve ordered flower delivery from Academy Florist many times for family members in Winnipeg (I live in Alberta). Every time the flowers have been beautiful and fresh, and the recipients have loved their flowers! It’s nice to know that an order placed with Academy Florist is in good hands. Thank you, Academy Florist!! :)
Amazing product and amazing service!
Beautiful arrangement. Would highly recommend.
I have been treated very well at Academy. Beautiful, inspired arrangements and very friendly and helpful service.
I ordered a bouquet online to be delivered to my mom for her birthday. As soon as I placed the order I received a personalized confirmation email with some questions to clarify my special request. They were friendly, helpful and very accommodating to my request. And most importantly my mom loved the flowers!
Great service and flowers
I have been ordering flowers from Academy Florist since I moved to Winnipeg 2 years ago. Their taste for bouquet arrangements is very nice and their choice of seasonal flowers are also good. Nevertheless, every time I ordered I wasn't happy with the service. I don't mind their prices either (I can always justify spending money on nice flowers). But, Covid-19 and low staff issues aside, when you call to order flowers (to bring others or yourself a bit of joy and hope in life), you shouldn't encounter someone impatient on the phone because you take more than 10 seconds to decide what you want to order. Also when you feel like asking for advice on bouquets/types of flowers (sorry that I just have basic knowledge about flowers) nobody is able to/or wants to help. It's your job, you are selling flowers, you should love helping customers with fitting their hopes/expectations using your expertise. I've always felt rushed on the phone and the tone employed by many of their staff was almost disrespectful. As well, I rarely have a warm/welcoming pick-up experience. It's sad because in this kind of time, flowers can make someone`s day, but it looks like you are clearly bothered by people ordering here. Please, remember that this is a team relationship, business owners and customers working hand in hand to make things better.
While Academy is my go-to florist when the occasion requires a beautiful arrangement, it’s also my favourite for something “just because...” The great selection of fresh flowers and potted plants and friendly, helpful staff always make it a joy to shop there!
Wonderful staff. Great arrangements. Fast and they deliver. Thank so much Academy.
I had a wonderful experience at Academy Florist. I had to dash in for a last minute arrangement for a local Design Store's Grand Opening so a common arrangement was not going to do. I was estactic to find a designer arrangement at a reasonable price waiting for me. The friendly courteous service was so appreciated along with knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend my new Florists!!!!
I have severely tasked the resources of Academy Florists multiple times over the past few months. Every time I make a challenging request of them with the goal of creating an especially memorable arrangement, they exceed my expectations by leaps and bounds. Their work is inspired, their service is prompt and professional, and Olivia has absolutely loved every arrangement they have created. Well Done!!
Small selection of flowers, and they love to add on lots of little extra charges. A lacklustre bouquet of flowers cost 3x as much as any other place. I will never buy from here again.
Called about same day delivery and I was turned away, the girl was rude.
Wonderful company - love them and would recommend to everyone
Ordered a POP-UP bouquet for a loved one going through a difficult time. I was not sure what kinds of flowers will be delivered but crossed my fingers that it will be a nice bunch! I was not disappointed! It was oh so lovely!!! It put a smile on my loved one's face. Thank you, Academy Florist!
Great service and the flowers lasted a long time and looked beautiful.
Not very good customer service. If I had received some I probably would of walked out with having made a purchase but instead I walked out with nothing.

Wonderful customer service and amazing florists.
I was out of town recently and I realized in a panic that I had forgotten to send my dear friend flowers for her birthday. It was Friday at 4:30. I called Academy Florist because it was within walking distance of where I needed the flowers delivered. Despite me offering to pay double the delivery fee, the florist said it was too late in the day to help me. I explained that I was in a predicament and asked if they could make an exception to their delivery cut off time. They could not. Another florist - on Academy road - helped me out and all ended well. I'm afraid I won't be giving much business to Academy Florist on Corydon in the future.
I've received many bouquets from here over the past few years, and they've all been beautiful. I've come in on occasion to put together a custom bouquet. The staff has always been willing to give suggestions of what flowers will look nice together, or nicely arrange the flowers that I choose myself. Every bouquet that I have received has been unique and fresh!
I used them for my wedding in August. I had a very small order, but I was happy with it! I am not too picky so I really didn't give them much to go off of when it came to ideas of what I wanted.. But they took my vague descriptions of my decor and came provided me with a beautiful bouquet!! The boutonnière's were lovely as well!
Beautiful arrangements and lovely staff. I enjoy treating myself to the stunning pop up bouquets! We also purchased all of our wedding flowers and greenery from Academy and I was blown away at how beautiful everything was. They just did an outstanding job.
Really nice bouquet and friendly service :)
