Lily Florist

This place is really really unprofessional. I called to make appointment for today at 3:30 for my wedding flowers on Tuesday. That lady who I spoke with said if they have any questions they will call. So I got a call & voicemail from her today at 3:00, stats that the owner has a friend visiting her, can not met me at 3:30. My husband called them back to see can they make it to 4 or 5pm. That lady just said, not today. If this is the case, why would you call me earlier. How I can make my wedding flower with a florist like this. They may call you 1 day before your wedding, to let you know they can not make you flowers!!!

I bought some flowers for my friend’s grand opening. Yes, the flowers were in the $$$ range but they were absolutely beautiful. What you pay for is what you get and although I paid more than I expected, I’m pretty happy with the quality that I received.

I’m giving this place 3 stars because when I ordered 4 single red hong kong roses, they only put glitter on the top and left the bottom empty. I called them and asked why it was like this, and they said they always do that. But in pictures other hong kong roses weren’t like that. My friend ordered hong kong roses the next day and it was also covered with glitter! Maybe i got a bad worker or someone who is unexperienced… But the positive side about this place is that they were friendly when i called them, and they did my order the day i called them without complaining. If the roses came out nicer, i wouldve given this place a 5!

In our recent visit this week, I was not at all impressed by this florist/​flower shop.
We were on our way to the cemetary to visit my grandparents’ grave for Ching Ming (an Asian holiday to honor the death of our ancesters) and needed flowers fast. We had lunch closeby and There are not many American supermarkets that sell cheap and beautiful flowers.
We are pampered in Pasadena with a lot of those markets, but in Alhambra that’s not very rampant. Anyhow, my mom and aunt went inside this flower shop after we dropped them off. They were quoted $ 25 for one flower bouquet and 3 to choose from. (No selection and very high pricing). It was pretty but NOT at all worth $ 25. They ended up bargaining down to $ 20 but we won’t be back anyhow.

I was referred to them from Chung Wah Universal Funeral. I used them for my father’s memorial service. They were very understanding and they open early. The prices were pretty reasonable and they had beautiful flowers during my dad’s service. I bought the casket flowers and wreath flowers from them.
I wish they were closer to my house. I would definitely use them again when I need to buy flowers!

I love this place! Affordable price and wonderful customer service. The flower arrangements are absolutely beautiful here, and there is such great attention to detail. My Bestfriend loved the flowers! Thank you so much

3.5 Stars — -I really wanted to like this place… I was looking to get flowers for the gf for Valentine’s day. So I was Unilocaling to find some place that specialized in Hong Kong Wrap. Lily’s Florist came up and seem to have great reviews. I called a day in advance of picking up the flower… The lady on the phone was super nice. Told me what the cost were and what time I wanted to arrange for pick up. Got there the next day, my flowers were all ready to go… the only reason why I knocked off two stars is because there was nothing really special on the flower. I asked if they can put some butterflies on it. and there was zero… so –1, another reason and why it took me a while to post this review is because i wanted to see how long the Hong Kong wrap will last before it died… unfortunately only after 3 days it started dying. Comparing to my old flower shop that i used to go to on Las Tunas. where my flowers never seem to get old. so –1. (you may be thinking why didnt i go to my regular flower shop… its because I didn’t have the time to drive down there. and on top of that i couldn’t find their store online. so i didn’t have the phone number.)
I have the photos of them up… but this was from day 1. still looking beautiful.

The ladies work there are very kind and helpful! The price is the cheapest for the other flower shops around the area. I order 24 HK roses and they were beautiful! highly recommend this place!

I remember i walked here to buy flowers for my family friend’s 8^th grade promotion, since it was near my house. I thought the shop was dead, but it’s not. AHAHHAHA. It’s really small and i thought the flowers wouldn’t be nice, but when i came in, the flowers were all sooo cute! The asian ladies that worked there are very nice and they speak many languages (and fluent in english). I ordered half a dozen roses that were half pink and half lavender. The edges of the roses were glittered and were beautiful. It was $ 50 for half a dozen or $ 10 for each rose you purchase. You’re supposed to pay them before hand or pay when you pick it up. They also ask when you’re going to pick them up and what time. I was in a rush a bit, so i told them i’d come in the next day at 10 in the morning. After i paid them, i went home. my mom thought i spent too much, so i called them to change my order to 3 roses (1 pink, 1 lavender, and 1 purple) The next day, i woke up late .-. so i came in at 12 noon. They were very kind and they handed my the bouquet. It was breath taking. They had roses with baby’s breath and wrapped them in a clear plastic wrap with white flower patterns on it and another layer of colored plastic wrap that complimented the color of the roses you pick (for mine they wrapped it in pink). Then they had a smaller layer for the bottom. I think it was a kind of fabric paper type of thing. It was for the bottom part where you hold onto the bouquet. Right when you come in to pick it up, they take a nice big bow and staple it onto the bouquet.
My god it was beautiful. I only got to hold onto it for an hour and it makes me want to buy roses for myself. Urg. I wish a boy would buy me roses for me from here. I’ll be waiting! (* ^ *)

Sisters graduation and decided to pick up a half dozen HK style roses. The shop is located on the busy Valley Blvd in the heart of the city of San Gabriel. Has a small parking lot in the back but just best to park on the street. Seems to be a small mom and pop shop.
Went in and told them what I wanted, color, and what date i wanted them. Prepaid for the flowers and left. Initially there was a mistake on their part on the date I wanted them as they called me while i was at work asking when i was going to pick them up. They quickly corrected themselves and apologized for the mistake on their part. When the day came that i requested to pick them up, they had them ready. They looked exactly like the pictures as uploaded by other users.
So why did i choose this shop over the others? A big factor was they speak ENGLISH and comprehend it. Yes, I know i live in the SGV but i prefer doing business in English. Another factor is price. I’ve called other florists around the area and their prices fluctuate from 55 – 75 dollars for a half dozen HK roses. This place had the best price. I will definitely be doing business for all my flower needs and will recommend them to all my friends.

So I remember reading Anita L’s review late August and had my sights on this place for a long time. The delay, however, was based on the simple fact that my fiancé lives about 6 hours away… and I don’t know — nor do I want to risk finding out the hard way — how these flowers will survive a crazy drive regardless of where it is in my car. [Unless someone knowledgeable in transporting pwweeeettty flowers could provide some advice.]
So to keep straight and simple:
I like buying flowers.
I have a gold memberships to FTD and a few others floral spots.
I have bought just about every species since I was 15… [Valentine’s used to be an excuse to go bonkers and buy everyone I knew flowers — regardless if they had a bf/​fiancé/​husband…]
I just like buying flowers.
But I’ve never heard of NOR seen a HK Bouquet until I read Anita’s review.
So yesterday was my chance as the fiancé was visiting and I just felt this urge to get her some flowers.
Swung by at my lunch break,
Experienced very sweet and friendly service,
Learned a thing or two about HK bouquets,
Bore witness to the finesse of making them,
Paid a very decent price for the amount of effort,
Left with a smile.
Best part?
Not only did my fiancé absolutely love it, it was also her first time seeing and hearing of a HK bouquet. =)

** ATTENTION GUYS — BUY YOUR LADY SOME FLOWERS **
Sorry folks, but bouquets from Conroys or
don’t do it for me anymore. If you are spending money on flowers, you might as well spend a couple more bucks and make it something special and memorable!
I highly recommend coming to LILY FLORIST for their HONG KONG WRAP BOUQUETS! In case you don’t know what Hong Kong Wrap Flowers are… Let me briefly explain:
1. Pick your flower (most people would pick roses)
2. Think about your lady’s favorite color
3. The Florist will cover the flower with glitter of your choice
4. Individually wrap each flower
5. Make it into a beautiful bouquet
Yes, even someone like me (that thinks buying flower is a waste of money) cannot resist the Hong Kong Wrap Bouquets. Let me warn you, they are not cheap. Depending of the time of the year, expect to pay an average price of $ 10/​flower.
Parking: There’s a small lot in the back, but I recommend just parking on the street.

English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese spoken at this establishment. Excellent flower shop! Fresh flowers, beautiful arrangements, and a wide variety to choose from. Five stars!

Found this place through Unilocal,and decided to get some flowers for a date here not too long ago. It’s a family owned shop with an energetic atmosphere between the staff, at least when I went. Got one of their HK style roses which turned out really great! Will go back again in the future.
Only downside (not really a con), is that it was kind of hard for me to spot the store. I ended up just parking in a nearby plaza and walked around until I could find it.

The ultimate Asian flower shop. Little gem of 626.
Where are all these people getting these crazy Hong Kong bouquets for graduations, birthdays and events? HERE!!! So pretty.
This place seem to specialize for business to business, so weddings, events and etc. They did a spectacular job on the funeral flowers our group requested, it was definitely worth the buy from here.
Been here a couple of times to pick up graduation lays and such. Its cheaper if you pre-​order in advance a large quantity.
Service: Very nice, mom and pop style store.
Parking: Parallel park on Valley or there is a very very very small parking lot in the back. Just parallel park.

Reputable shop in San Gabriel (over 20 years of experience) and prices are competitive.
This shop is open Monday through Sunday!
The Hong Kong style bouquets are really pretty (see pics). Half dozen Hong Kong style bouquets starts at $ 50.
They also cater to funeral floral arrangements (see pics), dinner party arrangements for Associations/​Corporations and private homes (see pic for Thanksgiving center piece), and weddings. They also specialize in arrangements for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grand Openings, Prom, and Graduation.
They speak the following languages: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese.
There is a small parking lot behind the shop and street parking is also available.
