History

The Frugal Flower was established in 1988 by Craig A. Wambolt as a roadside stand selling fresh flowers on a cash and carry basis to the communities of Sudbury, Marlboro, and Framingham, Massachusetts. The business was established at 593 Boston Post Road where it existed until December 1, 1997. Michael Devlin joined the company in late 1988, and a subsequent partnership was formed that exists today. The business evolved into a full service flower shop serving the entire metro-west community and boasting all #1 reader choice awards in the metro-west region during the past four years.

Present

The company currently owns a fabulous 12,000 square foot building at 736 Boston Post Road in Sudbury, Massachusetts and continues to provide the metro-west region with daily delivery service to all towns. The Frugal Flower is well known for its exceptional wedding and function floral services at an affordable price. The company also operates a 4,000 square foot Gift Shop, two greenhouses, and a full service garden center.

General

The Frugal Flower is a full service florist serving the metro-west community. The company delivers on a daily basis to greater metro-west area. The shop delivers flowers worldwide via two wire services, Teleflora, and FTD. We accept all major credit cards and maintain numerous house accounts. We are open seven days a week and make deliveries every day except Sundays. However, Sunday deliveries can be accommodated for weddings and functions as well as some funerals.

We pride ourselves on our vast selection of unusual and elegant flowers that we sell at reasonable prices. The word Frugal does not mean cheap, it means "elegance made affordable". As one of the largest floral providers in the area, we are able to buy beautiful and fresh flowers at a bulk rate, and therefore give you our customer, a reasonable and affordable price.

Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the country. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color.
