Harbor Floral

I stumbled upon Harbor Florals when I realized that it would be impossible to do all of the flowers for my wedding. two weeks before the big day. I was panicking, because all of the florists in the area of SLO (where my wedding took place) were either fully booked or never got back to me. I found the flower shop on Unilocal and immediately sent them an email. The owner, Lara, got back to me within the day, and immediately appeased my worries… Apparently I wasn’t the first bride to call with a last minute request! Even though Lara was already booked with multiple weddings in the next two weekends (she even had another wedding on the same day as mine), I never felt like my concerns or questions were a hassle for her. She went above and beyond and my flowers were absolutely perfect. From the centerpieces, to the flower girl crown, to my bouquet. Not a flower was out of place! Thank you, Lara, for making my day perfect!

As someone who plans corporate events, it took me a while to realize that planning my own wedding would be much too difficult. Once I did realize I needed help, Lara was there. I’m so grateful that she was with us through this process. She thought of things that never would have occurred to me and the result was a wedding day that was perfect and fun and low-​stress. The flowers were perfect and Lara’s help was invaluable. Lara, thank you so much. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Lara could not have been more professional, warm and patient. I was a frazzled long distance mother of the bride. I was on one coast, the bride was on another, neither in Morro Bay. Lara listened attentively and seemed to grasp what my daughter was wanting. She gave us EXACTLY what we were hoping for. Her work was just beautiful and added so much to the happy event.

Lara at Harbor Floral is amazing. She perfectly recreated the bouquet I wanted for my wedding. She even (last minute bride changing her mind) created boutonnieres out of what I had tried to make. When it wasn’t coming out right she told me she could incorporate that into the boutonnieres and she did! They were perfect. Lara went above and beyond for my wedding. She actually got me into a very booked up salon so that my nails could be done for my wedding… what other florist would make calls all over town for your nails? She attached a locket with my mom’s picture to my bouquet so I could still have her with me at my wedding. She stayed after the ceremony to take my arch flowers down so I could have them at my reception. She did everything she could to make sure my wedding was perfect and it was. I can’t thank her enough for all she did. Lara is so sweet and easy to talk to. Go with her if you want the perfect flowers for your wedding. You will not regret it.

Thank you for the special Corsage that you made me last night it really did the trick

Lara is amazing! I planned my wedding in Cayucos while living in Los Angeles which means that pretty much everything was planned over the phone and through email. Up until a month before my wedding I had planned on handling my flowers myself — silly me. I contacted Lara in a panic and needing a miracle. That’s exactly what I got! I sent Lara a few inspiration pictures but what she created was even more perfect than I could imagine. She made my dreams come true!

Called Harbor Floral just before lunch & asked if they could do an arrangement for our friends anniversary today. They responded sure no problem! Gave her my budget amount & gave her permission to do an arrangement of her choice. I just talked to our friends & she said she has to say it is the most beautiful arrangement she’s ever received! Thank you Harbor Floral! I’m very pleased

Lara is sweet, talented and a pleasure to work with. I am a wedding officiant and see her lovely work at many of the weddings that I do. I’ve also ordered arrangements from her for my own needs. Call Lara at Harbor Floral and you will be a fan too!

Based on the great reviews on Unilocal — I called and talked to Lara. I wanted to have flowers delivered to a dear friend moving into an assisted living home today. Lara made it happen on short notice. Flowers there for her arrival to brighten her spirits in her new home. It was great to do business with someone who is concerned about great customer service. I will use them again for sure in the future!

I have found a florist I will use for all my local florist needs. I love love love Lara, I’ve never experienced customer service like I have with Harbor Floral. Lara has the most INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever had. She meet me after hours to meet and discuss my needs for flowers for my wedding. She made me the most beautiful bouquet and all my bridesmaids and maid and maid of honors. I absolutely love them. She catered to my needs. The bridesmaids bouquets were all beautiful. The flowers were Gorgeous. Her customer service is excellent. I recommend her shop and prices were fair. Especially for her work. I can’t say enough how please I am and was so loving my bouquets. Her staff are all so wonderful and just made me feel like I’ve known them for years and they known me. Thank you Lara and your staff for all your wonderful flowers that added beauty to my wedding.

We had to find some flowers for a friend’s birthday as the ones her husband ordered did not arrive. Major problem! Found Harbor Floral ok but with a «closed» sign in the window. Lucky for us the owner was working inside and when we told her our dilemma she graciously told us if we could wait 15 mins she would make an arrangement.
We were thrilled with the finished bouquet and delighted with the help she gave us, even though she was very busy. I would highly recommend this business.

Wow what a surprise! My local florist came thru. I had an aniversary party and forgot to order flowers! My dear friend went down the street and put together a fabulous arrangement of flowers for my party. He didn’t go to Albertsons. lol. They lasted a whole week! I also received two tulips separately from the owner for her congrats to me. So thoughtful. Im a big Fan. Thank you from all of us at Summer Expressions!

First, I think Harbor Floral has moved recently to 868 Napa Ave in Morro Bay.
Harbor Floral was the florist for our wedding. We found Lara to be incredibly professional and easy to work with. She was knowledgable and helpful whenever we had any questions about either flowers or about weddings and other local wedding vendors.
We met Lara at the Wedding Expo at Madonna Inn and called to meet with her. Her consultation was great: we never felt rushed and she knew how to help us narrow down our likes/​dislikes. Truthfully, while I enjoy flowers — I’m not really into flowers (I think my husband knows more about flower types than I do) so I really had no flower preferences going into the process other than I know what type of bouquet my eye likes. I was glad she was able to help us narrow down ideas with various look-​books and questions.
Our bouquets and floral decorations turned out gorgeous! There were no issues the day of or before. It happened our wedding was the same day as the Wedding Expo and it didn’t affect the level of service that she provided in any way. She was available and made sure everything was done right.
I’d be happy to recommend Lara to any bride. She has a unique style that results in (what I think are) gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces! She made the cutest flower headband for our flowergirl, too! She’s such a great resource to turn to if you have questions about weddings or flowers.

I must preface this review by saying I did not actually receive flowers from this florist so I cannot comment on their quality (not that I doubt them!) however I must say that this business gets 5 stars on customer service. I placed an order with Lara yesterday for flowers to be delivered to Cayucos for a friend’s birthday on Friday. Due to the Birthday girl changing plans at the last minute, I had to cancel the order the today. I called Lara and was pleasantly surprised by how kind and understanding she was, particularly considering the fact that the arrangement had already been made. It gave me the warm and fuzzies… and I must say that this is exactly the type of service that makes me excited to patronize a business. Thank you Lara!

I love Harbor Floral. I use them for all my local floral needs. The flowers have always been GORGEOUS and have lasted a long time. The staff is super friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s a Nancy O. who is involved in another floral shop in the area. I’d guess that the above review isn’t so much a REAL review as it is badmouthing the competition. Shame on you, Nancy O.

I was hoping this would be a great place to get fresh flowers. Unfortunately not. I checked out the flowers and they looked old and open so I passed on purchasing and will not go back.
