Licari Floral Designs

I seldom write a review but I must write this one.

My wife and I live in California and needed floral centerpieces for my daughter's wedding reception in Connecticut. We chose Licari because it was the highest rated florist in the area. It deserves its rating !! For a very reasonable price, J.P., the owner, designed stunning centerpieces that were the talk of the reception. And, when we explained our need for delivery to the reception, he agree to deliver them himself, saving us concern when we had so many other things on our mind. We were so pleased to give these centerpieces to our guests. Licari made our wedding reception that much more special.

beautiful arrangement delivered today that brought joy to a dear friend on her birthday. I am out of state and have used this shop, for this same occasion, for the last few years now. They have never disappointed. Grateful that they are a trusted business and and so very nice to boot!

After becoming a mother myself within the past year, I understand the importance of Mother's Day, now more than ever! As we'll all be on a family vacation on actual Mother's Day, I thought it'd be nice to surprise my mother-in-law with some blooms to enjoy in the lead-up to Mother's Day this year.

Licari's website was very easy to navigate, which is a relief as we're putting in an order from halfway around the world. There were a lot of options in our price range (around $75.) We ordered the "Exquisite Beauty" bouquet, which is a low arrangement. What's nice about the site is that you also have the option of adding additional flowers (deluxe or premium choices) to enhance your bouquet style, usually for just $10-20 extra.

The flowers arrived on the date I requested, and I had a chuckle at the confirmation email which said something along the lines of, "This email confirms a few things: the order you placed was delivered... and you have excellent taste in flowers."

Well, how could I not give 5 stars after receiving that compliment?

I highly recommend Licari Floral Designs. I was sent flowers on Valentine's Day 2022. They were left outside my front door, which I rarely use and I didn't notice the delivery until the following day. The weather was well below freezing so unfortunately the glass vase broke and the flowers froze.
I called Licari's to let them know and spoke to the owner, JP. He could not have been more apologetic and noted that the delivery service he used said they left messages all locations they had delivered to if flowers were left outside. I hadn't received a message. JP immediately handled the situation with the most professional and kind customer service. He said he'd be delivering a new arrangement the following morning. The flowers that arrived were beautiful, abundant and I could not have been more pleased. Licari's is now my new go to when I need flowers for my home or when I want to send as a gift. You definitely should do the same too!

I ordered a "deluxe" arrangement online from SendFlowers.com for $49.99 with a free delivery (valued at $14.95). I asked the recipient to send a picture. As you can see, the delivered arrangement is significantly smaller than what I ordered (I understand they sometimes have to substitute flowers so I'm not even complaining that this so-called "modern orange bouquet" is primarily lilies. Fortunately, it was still a nice, albeit smaller than it was supposed to be. so I called the florist to inquire and she readily admitted they made a smaller bouquet with substitutes because she said she "can't make any money from what she gets from the online orders because she has to pay $13 delivery fee so she deducts that from the flowers." She said I was the third customer she had to explain this to, as if it made sense that her business plan and arrangement with SendFlowers were my problem! I had to explain that what she delivered wasn't what I ordered and paid for--I didn't order a standard $35 arrangement plus $15 delivery fee, I ordered a $50 arrangement with free delivery and that what was she agreed to provide when she took the order. I asked her for a $15 refund but she told me to take it up with SendFlowers, which I did, and fortunately, after initially offering me $10, which also didn't make sense, they agreed to refund me the $15. But Omg, I WON'T do business with either of these companies ever again.

I ordered a beautiful bouquet for a friend's birthday but due to the flower shortage the flowers needed weren't available. JP called to ask what I wanted to do and I told him to make a beautiful arrangement of his choice. It was spectacular and the birthday girl loved what he made for her.

I can't say enough about the quality of the flowers and the beautiful flower arrangements that JP and his staff design. I've been using Licari Custom Floral Design for years. I live out of state and I'm so happy to have found a local florist in Westport/Norwalk I can trust to come through for me every time! I have never been disappointed :)

Ripp Off / Doesn't Care - Ordered "Blossoms In Vogue" in premimum for my elderly Dad who is barely hanging on - I had received the same arrangement from my Dad (i live in L.A.) and it was gorgeous - Licari's arrangement was just flowers haphazardly shoved in a square vase, no symmetry, no color sequence, no where close to what it was suppose to be and far from "premimum." I e-mailed him twice with photos. He never responded.

A local gem! JP creates beautiful and stylish arrangements for any occasion at a great price. Look no further for personalized service.

A good friend from work had planned a private and quiet wedding and kept it secret... but she was very excited and shared with me, just the day before. I'm out of state and really wanted to send a little something to help her celebrate her big day. Hunting for a florist on a Friday eve for a Sat AM delivery was daunting, but JP called me back after her normal work hours and totally took care of me with a beautiful floral arrangement within my price range AND went to a separate store for a secondary gift (TWICE) and delivered BOTH... Not only did she get it done by the 11 AM deadline -it was delivered well ahead of time. Awesome!
She knows how to get it done - went above and beyond - so appreciated!
Pricing? Works with your budget.
Customer service? Top notch!
Thank you JP!
