Established in 1979, Flowers by Lucy has built a legacy of floral excellence across Ireland. Our journey began in a traditional High Street shop before evolving into a state-of-the-art Floristry Design Centre in Kilkenny in 2002. With over four decades of experience, we combine time-honored craftsmanship with modern innovation to deliver exceptional floral artistry. Our team of skilled florists imports premium flowers and plants directly from Holland, ensuring every arrangement meets our exacting standards for freshness, quality, and longevity. As a 7-time Interflora Irish Florist of the Year award winner and a Chelsea Flower Show medalist, we bring unparalleled expertise to every project, from intimate bouquets to grand-scale wedding designs.Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through waste repurposing partnerships with Kilkenny Reptile Zoo and our solar-powered electric delivery fleet. We offer personalized service through our private bridal consultation room, drive-thru convenience, and nationwide delivery network, maintaining the same dedication to excellence that earned us membership in the American Institute of Floral Design and the Canadian Institute of Floral Art.

Surprised my mother in law with flowers for her birthday today but didnt have her eir code. Gary and the driver were so patient trying to reach me to figure out where the house is. Definitely owe the driver a virtual pint for causing delays! (So sorry!) The flowers are just beautiful and so gorgeous! Will certainly order flowers with you again (with the eircode! Promise!). Thanks for going above and beyond for customers!

Lovely flowers delivered the same day after a morning order. Rang to confirm delivery and got a callback to confirm they'd go out.
