There was a woman who owned Westbury Flo named Linda, very nice woman, a real people’s person. I retained her as my florist one week before the two took over. The two, Leah and Tracy that run the place now are extremely rude, nasty. First off, they are trying to run this place as if they it were located out in the Hamptons somewhere. The both of them need to step off of the plane that flew them in and visit earth for a moment, you are located in Westbury, NY. The work is mediocre, nothing more or less than you would receive from any other local florist. If you are a bride on a budget, Leah will keep reminding you that your are less than “Your Majesty”. She will constantly compare you to the weddings she did for “Queen Elizabeth”. These women operate like machines, they will take on your event as though they care, but are extremely cold and concerned with numbers only! Do not fall for Leah’s line “When a bride gets married, we get married with them”. I phoned her after my (small) wedding to simply to tell her I had no problems with her final creation, but wanted to make her aware that I paid for my husband to have a Calla Lilly Boutonniere so that he could stand out from the groomsmen who wore red roses. I did not want a refund and my only agenda was to make her aware of this. She snapped at me yelling and screaming “she doesn’t know what I was talking about” also “what type of bride pays for her flowers at the last minute anyway”. Last minute to her was three days before my wedding for an order (where she received more than half of a deposit in advance) of 8 single stem roses and 9 Boutonnieres!!! Even after I apologized and explained to her how sorry I was and how I had been so busy being a bride, also how my wedding planner backed out on me last minute with an emergency….She also hung up on me. Very hurtful experience from something which was only intended to be friendly follow up call. Please Brides, from one bride to another, whether you are on a budget, or have a little more to splurge….. choose a florist that is friendly, respectful and personal. Every moment that leads up to your special day should be special. Don’t be fooled and Congrats!!

We held our wedding on a recent Sunday at Alger House and had the pleasure of working with Lia at Westbury Floral Designs. She was the first one to respond when I contacted several florists. I wanted to keep my budget low but had specific ideas I was working with. She was extremely accommodating to my needs and supplied me with a detailed proposal, which we were able to merge together to make my ideas come true. My initial concern was that the florist was located in Long Island, but the fact that Lia had previously worked with Alger House put me at ease. She was always in touch, especially in the final week, e-mailing and calling me to discuss final details to ensure that she would be there on our special day. She created wonderful alter pieces with a cascading design, which provided a beautiful background for our ceremony. My bouquet was studded with fall-inspired colors which was seasonally appropriate and gorgeous. Lias suggestions to include colors and flowers based on availability that week turned out perfectly. Our aisle markers were simple yet exactly how I envisioned them. Lia delivered the flowers on time and decorated swiftly and with care. Even though I had limited funds and limited orders, she respected my needs and provided gorgeous arrangements within my budget. I received many compliments on the arrangements and the fresh flowers, which I took home to enjoy for many days following our wedding. Thank you, Lia, for providing us with such beautiful flowers to celebrate our big day!

In 1915 I was searching Google for a florist in the Jericho, NY area. Since I live in Massachusetts and was sending flowers to a special friend, my choice would be important. I was lucky enough Westbury Floral Design. My friend was delighted and so was I. Last month I had the sad task of sending a funeral arrangement to another very dear friend in the area. Naturally, I again contacted the wonderful people at Westbury Floral Design. we worked together to design a beautiful arrangement featuring my friend"s favorite flowers. I was planning my trip for the services when I was suddenly hospitalized, unable to make the trip to NY> I contacted the staff at Westbury and asked if they could deliver a message to her son for me, wihich they were happy to do, and then sent me pictures of the flowers with best wishes for my recovery. I have dealt with many florists over the years but have never found a more caring and talented group of people. I only wish I lived closer so that I could drop in for a visit.

Im so glad I went with Westbury florist for our wedding! Lia and Tracey were an absolute pleasure to work with and they did an AMAZING job!! I cannot wait to get the professional pictures back of the entire event! They were both extremely professional and at the same time made this process so much fun for me. I had a vision going in and we just played off one anothers ideas and came out with such unbelievable arrangements that were so different than any other wedding Ive been to. My flowers were black (Dark Purple) calla lilies and green cymbidium orchids as well as tall stem white calla lilies. Our venue was totally NYC chic and the arrangements gave it a sexy yet elegant and romantic look! I received SO many compliments from all the guest! THANKS SO MUCH Lia & Tracey!! You did a phenomenal job!! xoxo

I came to Westbury Floral Design while planning for my summer wedding. Lia was very sweet and accommodating, and Tracy always stepped in and helped out when Lia was away. Lia outlined a quote that fit my budget and set up a meeting with me to show me some possible arrangements before I even committed. I wanted a very specific flower (parrot tulips) and Lia made sure to order them in time from Holland, and had great suggestions on other types of flowers to include in the arrangements. She was also so patient with me as I had a lot of questions and requests. The flowers were beautiful on the actual day, the only thing was that they drooped quickly (but that was due to the summer heat). My bouquet stood up very well and a lot of guests complimented the beautiful flowers! Thank you Lia and Tracy!

I have used Westbury Floral Designs on many occasions with great results each time. When my employer passed away suddenly, the office contacted Tracy and Lia who helped us create a beautiful basket of white flowers. Everyone was so pleased with the selection of the flowers and quality of the arrangement. And when my family needed a number of arrangements for my mother-in-lawss funeral, Tracy and Lia were so helpful to us. Along with a beautiful heart shaped wreath, we were very happy with four lovely arrangements. I am always confident that anytime I am in need of flowers for any occasion, I will be more than satisfied using Westbury Floral Designs.
