Hear from Our Customers
You need flowers today. Not tomorrow, not next week—today. Maybe you forgot an anniversary, or you need to apologize, or someone you care about deserves something beautiful right now.
Most flower shops in Downtown New York can’t guarantee same-day delivery because they’re routing orders through corporate call centers in other states. Your arrangement sits in a warehouse, gets boxed up, shipped across the country, and arrives wilted. You’ve seen it happen.
Here’s what changes when you work with a local flower shop that sources fresh every morning: your roses last seven days instead of three. Your lilies open fully instead of staying closed. The person receiving them actually gets what you paid for—flowers that look like the photo and smell like you walked into a garden.
We operate at 3 West 51st Street, right in the center of Manhattan. Every morning, our team walks to the wholesale flower district and hand-selects what’s freshest that day. That’s how we control quality—by seeing and touching every stem before it goes into your arrangement.
You’re not dealing with a national chain that outsources to local shops and takes a 30% cut. When you call, you talk to someone who actually designs the flowers. When something needs to change last-minute, we handle it directly. No transfer to a call center in another time zone.
Downtown New York moves fast, and your delivery needs to keep up. Our drivers know which buildings require visitor passes, which doormen prefer advance notice, and how to navigate Midtown during lunch rush without missing your delivery window.
You place your order online or by phone. If you’re not sure what you need, call us—we’ll ask a few questions about the occasion and who’s receiving the flowers, then recommend something specific.
Once your order comes in, one of our designers builds your arrangement that same day. We’re not pulling pre-made bouquets from a cooler. Each arrangement gets designed fresh, using the flowers we sourced that morning from the district.
Your delivery goes out the same day if you order before 2 PM on weekdays. Our drivers handle the logistics—building access, doorman coordination, recipient contact if needed. You get a notification when it’s delivered. If there’s an issue, you call us directly and we fix it.

Every arrangement includes flowers sourced that morning, designed the day you order, and delivered within your requested timeframe. No wire service fees, no middleman markup—your budget goes toward better flowers and fuller arrangements.
If you’re ordering for a corporate office in Downtown New York, we handle weekly deliveries that keep your lobby or conference rooms looking fresh. Most of our corporate clients schedule Monday or Tuesday deliveries so their arrangements last through Friday meetings.
For weddings and events, we coordinate directly with your venue. Our team delivers, sets up, and makes sure everything looks right before guests arrive. You’re not wondering if the centerpieces match your vision—we walk through it with you beforehand and execute exactly what we discussed.
Funeral arrangements go directly to the funeral home with timing coordinated to their schedule. We’ve worked with most funeral homes in the area long enough to know their preferences for delivery windows and setup requirements.
You need to place your order by 2 PM on weekdays for same-day delivery anywhere in Downtown New York below 100th Street. That cutoff exists because our designers need time to build your arrangement fresh and our drivers need to navigate Midtown traffic before buildings close for the evening.
If you’re ordering after 2 PM, we’ll deliver first thing the next morning. That’s still faster than most corporate flower services that ship from out of state and take two to three days.
Weekend and holiday deadlines are different—call us directly if you need something on Saturday, Sunday, or a major holiday. We can usually accommodate same-day requests if you order early enough, but availability depends on how many orders we’re handling that day.
Freshness comes down to how many days pass between when the flower gets cut and when it reaches your vase. National chains ship flowers from warehouses where they’ve already been sitting for several days. By the time they reach you, those flowers have maybe three or four days of life left.
We source from the New York wholesale flower district every morning. Those flowers were cut within the past 48 hours, shipped directly to the district, and selected by our team the same day we design your arrangement. That’s why our roses typically last seven to ten days and our lilies stay vibrant for up to two weeks.
The other factor is handling. Flowers that get boxed, shipped, and jostled in transit arrive stressed. Flowers that get designed locally and hand-delivered across town arrive in better condition. You’re paying for quality that actually lasts, not just a pretty photo on a website.
Wire services like 1-800-Flowers take 20-30% of your order as a service fee, then pass the rest to a local florist who fills it. That local florist now has less money to work with, so your $100 arrangement becomes a $70 arrangement in actual flower value.
When you order directly from us in Downtown New York, your full budget goes toward flowers and design. You get fuller arrangements, better quality stems, and more attention to detail because we’re not splitting the payment with a corporate middleman.
The other issue with wire services is communication. If something goes wrong, you’re calling a national call center that has to relay messages to the actual florist. When you work with us directly, you call one number and talk to the person who’s handling your order. Problems get fixed immediately instead of getting lost in translation.
Yes, and we do it constantly. Most office buildings in Downtown New York require visitor passes, advance notice to security, or coordination with specific building management protocols. Our delivery team knows these systems because we’ve been navigating them for years.
When you place an order for a corporate office, we ask for the building address, floor number, and recipient’s phone number. If the building requires advance registration, we handle that before our driver arrives. If the lobby won’t accept deliveries, we coordinate directly with the recipient to meet them or arrange access.
The buildings around Rockefeller Plaza, Bryant Park, and the Garment District all have different procedures. Some require deliveries before noon, others won’t allow large arrangements in passenger elevators, and some need 24-hour advance notice for vendor access. We know which buildings have which rules, so your delivery doesn’t get turned away at the lobby.
Our drivers attempt contact by phone if no one answers the door. If the recipient doesn’t pick up, we leave the flowers with a doorman, building concierge, or trusted neighbor if you’ve authorized that in your delivery instructions.
For residential buildings without doormen, we’ll try to find a secure spot out of direct sunlight where the flowers won’t get stolen or damaged. If that’s not possible, we bring the arrangement back to our shop and contact you to reschedule delivery for later that day or the next morning.
You can also request a specific delivery window when you order—morning, afternoon, or evening. That helps ensure someone’s actually there to receive the flowers. If you know the recipient’s schedule, mention it when you place your order and we’ll coordinate timing accordingly.
