*If you chose Piccolo Flowers PLEASE BEWARE and hire at your own risk* I live out of state and was having a small destination wedding. The internet was my resource for all my vendors. After searching for a florist, I chose Piccolo. They had quick response time to my initial email and were very persuasive as to why I should choose them for my florist. So I agreed and asked what information she needed from me to move forward with the process. Michelle told me she would call me the next day. The next day came and no call, but I did receive an email that night from her apologizing that she got busy and ran out of time and that she would call me tomorrow. OK fine, it happens. Didnt hear from her the next day. So a few days went by, I sent another email saying that the wedding was approaching and we needed to connect. Again, I received more emails with pictures attached that her store had a flood and they would be down for the week, she would touch base next week. Fine, I understand. In the meantime I sent over pictures of arrangements that I liked and a list of flowers that I wanted to use. I had not given her a price/budget because I wanted to make sure I was going to get what I wanted. After she saw the images, I was assured they could be done and how beautiful they were going to be. Finally TEN days before my wedding we finally connected on the phone. She emailed me a copy of the proposal she had written up and the content was not correct based off the the information I sent her in the original email. So while speaking on the phone I restated all the information to her again. We went over the flowers to be used, date/time of wedding, pricing, and delivery. She sent a corrected proposal that evening. Day of the wedding arrives and it is now 30minutes passed delivery time and I have heard nothing from Michelle. So I called the number listed on her proposal and sent an email to her asking about the status of the delivery. No response. It is now 10am and my wedding was to begin at 11. A friend took over for me as I was the bride and needed to continue getting ready. Michelle answered when my friend called and claimed she had broke her leg and was sorry for not having the flowers delivered. We offered to go to the shop and pick up the flowers, since she was "in the hospital". She proceeded to say, they werent done and there was no product for us to go pick up. My party then started calling local florist near by and we had to place a rush order with a different florist and pick them up on our way to the ceremony cite. Needless to say, I ended up with the minimal just to get through the ceremony. I was now running late, was irritated, and lost out on an hour of photography time because we were trying to find a new florist and get on our way with the day. I would NOT recommend this florist for your wedding!! I STILL have not received an apology or a refund from them.

I LOVE small arrangements that are DIFFERENT from the norm that is often found at grocery stores or other florists. I purchase fresh flowers probably every two weeks to beautify my home and I could not be HAPPIER with Michelle and Mazad at Piccolo Flowers. Their creativity and inspiration is such a breath of fresh air. I live two blocks from this florist and it does not matter what day of the week or what time of day, their stock is always AMAZING and constantly offering a new variety of flowers. They both treat me like family and make me feel like I am their best customer regardless of what I buy, even if I am just walking by to say hello. The neighborhood is so lucky to have Michelle and Mazad as part of our community as they offer a great service as well actively volunteer and participate in a variety of Long Beach community events. Thank you both for all you do!

Very Professional & Beautiful Arrangements. I called to deliver condolences flowers to my cousin-in-law who lost her brother last week and gave a price range for what I wanted to spend. Sharon asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and then offered to send me a photo of what the arrangement would look like which I thought was wonderful! She even gave me two options to choose from via photo. I ended up going with a living plant with flowers mixed in. Another thing that was awesome is that when they delivered the flowers, the lady explained to to my cousin how it is a plant and the flowers are in a vase inside and the vase can be reused and the plant kept for at least a year (or however long the plant lives). Anyway, they have very detailed professional service here and I will definitely use them again! Highly recommended.

I chose this based upon its proximity to the intended recipient, I had a great and helpful conversation over the phone with Michelle and ordered an arrangement to be delivered later that day. The delivery never happened. I never received any phone calls about potential payment or delivery issues, and when I called back the day after to find out what happened I was told I had the wrong phone number. After double checking, and calling a second time I went through to the voice mail of the shop. Completely unacceptable, they cant even take responsibility for their mistakes.

Piccolo Flowers has the freshest flowers Ive ever seen. I had an important business meeting with a few business executives that I took a bouquet to, and everyone was impressed (including the secretaries). I will continue going back! Thanks Piccolo!

I get flowers delivered weekly to my medical office. They are always timely, fresh and a wonderful touch to my office. Their work is impeccable. My favorite flower shop in Long Beach.
