I just recently had my senior prom and my date chose Lyal Nickal's to get the corsage and boutonnière. I had never been to this place before, but it was an awesome experience! The three times I went there before prom (to order the corsage/bout, drop off some feathers I wanted in the corsage, and picking them up), I talked with Star. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about her craft, and she helped me pick out what I wanted and created the most beautiful corsage/bout!! I was floored by how amazing they both looked. They matched my dress flawlessly, too! If you're looking for prom corsages/boutonnieres and want to find a place that not only puts a lot of care into making something very high quality, but also has wonderful service, I highly recommend this place! I will definitely be back if I ever have any kind of formal in the future! read more

Mike at Lyal Nickals did a great job of providing all the floral arrangements for our wedding last August. He is very knowledgeable and creative, and made sure that the style and price range was suited to our plans. From the mother's corsages to my gorgeous bouquet, Lyal Nickals really helped make our day picturesque and beautiful. read more

Mike at Lyal Nickals designed the bouquets and arrangements for my wedding this past weekend. I did not know what I wanted but I knew which colors I liked and I pretty much left the rest in his hands. The flowers exceeded my expectations in how modern and artistic they were. I could not have been any happier. I absolutely loved them!! read more

This is the place for beautiful flowers catered to your specific style and preference! Lyal Nickals did my wedding flowers - which I STILL receive compliments on nearly six years later. They are willing to work with your budget while still using the best quality flowers and foliage. My mother is practically a lifetime member - all birthday, anniversary and holiday flowers all come from Lyal Nickals. I just received an arrangement for my birthday and love it! I am always excited to enjoy them for a few weeks - watering correctly, these arrangements last for a while! Can't beat Lyal Nickals. Mike and Star and everyone there do a really great job! read more

First time placing an order. I could not be happier with the custom arrangement that was designed. It is because of these reviews that I had the confidence to place an order. I live in the Midwest, and I'm always nervous about how an arrangement will turn out, but this was perfect. read more

Solid job. Love the customer service I received today. Made me feel more than welcomed and gave me exactly what I came for.

I came in as I was referred to your nice florist shop by asking google for a good place to buy a gift for an Asian client. I met Roxy Salcines and she was amazing! Not only did she find out the details of my search, she found a sweet dragon fly tile that my client can put on a shelf and enjoy! I looked up the meaning of dragon fly and found out it means prosperity, good fortune, etc and other great things! My client was very touched by the gift. Roxy is an angel and an great addition to your store! Love her and I will be back! read more

We wanted flowers for our 10th anniversary dinner at Neumanali in Hayward and spoke with Michael at Lyal Nickals. Based on our budget and the venue, Michael helped us organize our ideas and customized a table decor that was both exotic and elegant. He has a great sense of color and space, and it was very helpful to be able to browse supplier catalogs to get a sense of styles and cost. The guests loved it and the orchids still look good days later. read more

I called this place based on the yelp reviews and i trusted the word and I ordered flowers to be sent to my sisters house for her birthday. I got a big surprise the lady I spoke with was awesome but I payed 60$ I was told my sister would get a nice vase with her flowers but instead they came in a ugly brown box. The flowers were lovely but I feel like I got played because if I wanted a box of flowers I would of sent my brother to the local liquor store for that. I feel like because I was not there the lady just got me for my money not satisfied! I don't recommend and I Deffently won't be ordering from here again for this price I could of get her a beautiful editable arrangement instead. read more

Lyal Nickals - Brown box was not what I was told I would be getting for the price I payed I should of got a prettier box or the vase. - Florists Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Lovely flowers. My firm likes to use them for really unique and creative orders. The flowers arrived for admin professionals day on time and in perfect fresh condition. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Lyal Nickals. Their displays are beautiful and their service is impeccable.

They rock! Last minute order for a summer bouquet and they gave me one beyond words and worth way more than I was charged, so amazing!

I've been coming to this place for years for my kids prom corsages and boutonnieres they have a huge selection of flowers and make them look so beautiful with decorations. Give them 48 hours in advance. Fyi they don't offer garters :( read more

Disappointed with the customer service I received over the phone. Just needed help after we realized the night before that no one had ordered the flowers for a funeral service the next day. Worst possible time to get a lecture about how I needed to call at least 2 days in advance, that LN is the biggest Florist in the area and I would have a hard time finding another florist to help...please, just consider saying "sorry, can't help you". Btw, Sharon's Florist provided the 2 stand crosses and the casket spray in the size you said would be impossible. read more

We got a recommendation from a friend to come here for memorial service flowers, so we decided to go for it even though it was out of our way. We are so happy we did!!! The people who run this place are absolutely wonderful. They were so compassionate and never had an issue with all the questions we asked. The flowers showed up exactly as we had requested them and exactly on time, too. PERFECT! We were blown away by the quality. highly recommend this place, even if it's a bit far to drive. read more

I live outside of California and called mid-afternoon and requested a same day delivery. I explained that this was for a very special occasion since my daughter had literally just passed her final certification exam. Service was FANTASTIC --- so friendly and professional, with delivery as promised and the flowers were so stunningly beautiful. I will definitely use them again. And thanks to Yelp users reviews was able to find them! read more

Amazing! The quality of the product and service is outstanding. I am a native to the bay area but have moved to the east coast , every time I need to remind those back home that I am thinking of them (for birthdays etc...) I can ALWAYS count on them to WOW my loved ones. All i have to do is give them a price and an idea, they take it from there to create something beautiful. They can be pricey but they are worth every cent. They have become my family florist,I expect to be a life long customer. They did the flowers for my wedding and two years later I am still getting compliments on how beautiful my wedding was. They took my vision and took it to the next level. I checked out a couple florist in the area, other florist promised that whatever I wanted could be done. When I got to Mike at lyal nickals he was upfront and honest about what flowers would in season and my best options were to achieve my vision. Working with Lyal Nickals was a joy and the results were breath taking. Thank you Lyal Nickals read more

Lyal Nichals did such an AMAZING job with our wedding floral arrangements. Everything looked so beautiful. Michael was so helpful,nice,talented and just a pleasure to work with. I met with him a couple of times and he asked me about my color scheme, my favorite flowers and the date we were getting married. Being that our wedding day was Feb.15th (day after Valentine's Day), he was upfront and honest about which flowers will be available and hard to get. I highly recommend working with him. read more

Excellent service and gorgeous flower arrangement. It was done at the last minute because I asked the day before and she did everything I asked her plus more! The beautiful arrangement was with more flowers than expected (tall and wide). Although it was at a funeral, people noticed and said very nice things about it. Thank you Star! You are awesome!! read more

I have been using Lyal Nickals easily for over ten years and they have been consistently excellent. I always allow their designers to choose the flowers and arrangement and only give them the price range that I want to be in. This lets them be more creative and get a greater impact. I would never use another florist within their territory. read more

Emailed after hours for a delivery the next day. Received a prompt response. Completed the transaction by phone the next morning. They put together a very tasteful mixed bouquet for a special family event, with very little guidance from me. Really impressed. Leave it to the professionals! read more

I live in the surrounding neighborhood by the shop and Ive passed by this many time for years and never once been inside. Well on my way home froma long day at work , and it being valentines day I know I cant go home to the wife empty handed, so I decide to finally check this place out. So I walk in and they were so busy with orders since it was valentines Day , my smart self havent who didn't even place a order I was just hoping it wasnt too last min. I just wanted a red rose or two wrapped to bing to the wife. They helped me out and instead of giving me 1 or two roses lije I suggested(I dont know too much lol) they gave me 3 for yhe same price! There so awesome and even tho they were busy beyond compare they were still able to acomidate me and my no ording self lol. I still cant believe ive never been there and they are now my go-to soot for anything floral. I highly highly recomend this place. And theyve been here for over 20+ years if that doesnt say enough! read more

Lyal Nickals - 3 red roses arrangement only $10 and this olace is super high end and professionals - Florists Near Me - Castro Valley, California

When a SF florist could not deliver to San Ramon, they recommended LN and LN delivered. Literally and figuratively. Upon describing and searching online for the arrangement chosen, they replicated and customized it. LN was friendly, personal, and professional to boot. read more

These guys are great - super nice, happy to accommodate or help however they can, and they have top notch product. I went in thinking "flowers" for a b'day gift and came away with a gorgeous orchid that will last for months. They not only boxed it beautifully but they also attached a page describing the specific orchid with care instructions included - awesome! The outside of the building screams "old school FTD florist" but it's much nicer inside. They even have some gift items (jewelry, purses, baby items, cards etc.) if you want/need to add a little something to your flower or plant order. One stop shopping! Since I didn't end up getting cut flowers I can't speak to the strength of their selection or bouquet design skills, but if the rest of my experience says anything I am certain they would create something awesome. Two thumbs up! read more

Lyal Nickals did all of our wedding's flowers and I was beyond stunned at how perfectly beautiful and breathtaking everything turned out. We met with Michael Delaney and I was able to bring in a picture of the bouquet that I wanted and he not only replicated exactly what I wanted, but was able to exceed my expectations. All of our guests loved the flower arrangements and touches and as a bride I could not be more pleased. The time and effort that Lyal Nickals and their team, (especially Michael) gave is more than appreciated, they are all definitely blessed in their craft. I would recommend them to everyone looking for a simple flower arrangement to have at their house or for a huge event like a wedding!!! I love them and their work!! read more

They do a beautiful job every time I go here. They were even able to make a perfect, masculine arrangement for my dad on Father's Day! My family always goes here for floral arrangements, even just small bouquets. read more

Great place! My first experience was great! Came in looking for a bouquet for my grandmother's birthday, staff was really friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for exceptional service, beautiful flowers, friendly staff this is your place. We have used Lyal Nickals for years. They have done a wedding for us, funerals and they never, never disappoint. I ordered flowers for a birthday, had to change the time of delivery and they go out of their way to try and make it happen, you can't ask for more. The best florist in the Bay Area. So glad their in my home town. read more

This florist is as good as it gets. We have been using them for many years and they are consitently excellent. The arrangements are always on time, creatively arranged and last a long time because the flowers they use are FRESH! I highly recommend them. read more

Lyal Nichols has been our family florist now for over 25 years. From happy occasions like weddings, births of children to those sad moments in life with the loss of a loved one they bring absolute beauty with their flowers to every occasion. Working with everyone at the shop is a pleasure and over the years we have come to know them all. It's easy to grab and go flowers anywhere these days, however, Lyal Nichols is worth every dollar you will spend and the end product will always be something that will exceed your expectations and respectful of your budget. My family recently moved away and before we left, my husband sent me one last bouquet. Like all the beautiful arrangements I had been delighted with in the past, this arrangement was extraordinary. It was not massive in size (budget constraints) but every flower was arranged perfectly.....gorgeous. We miss you Mike, Deb, Star and the whole Lyal Nichols family! Keep those pink trucks rolling and delighting all those who receive your flowers! read more

I wasn't sure about going through a florist for my wedding since I didn't want anything too loud, too formal, or too fussy. Lyal Nickals NAILED it. Perfectly. Mike listened to me and understood exactly what I was looking for - arrangements that were structural and heavy on herbs for my offbeat Oakland wedding. He made everything happen, and the arrangements were more incredible than I expected. Plus, I had a somewhat limited budget, and he did everything he could to work with it. Best part of working with Lyal Nickals? Mike worked with people all over the US to get me lilacs in January for my wedding. The whole experience was a dream come true. read more

I LOVE this place!!! It is the only place where i get my flowers. The personnel is extremely professional and creative. I just call them, tell them what i want and they do it beyond my expectations. Too bad they cannot spread their beauty throughout the state, I would love to be able to send one of their beautiful arrangements down south to my sister. Love you guys!!!! read more

I continue to be amazed at the quality, creativity and service provided by Lyal Nickals florist. Each time I have ordered flowers from them, I have been rewarded with bouquets that are stunningly beautiful and last for weeks. Last weekend at our daughter's wedding, we were once again reminded how fantastic this florist is. The flower arrangements were spectacular and artful. The flowers were fresh and the service was very personal with attention to every detail. Thank you, Mike and the staff at Lyal Nickals, for making our daughter's wedding even more special. read more

One word covers it all amazing. These were the most beautiful flowers we have ever seen at a wedding despite the problems in the floral industry due to the hurricane. Mike and Debbie define professional. They have done our families flowers for 3 generations. We can't say enough about Lyal Nichols. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The extended Garcia family. read more
