Flower Delivery in Washington Heights

Flowers Delivered When You Need Them Most

You forgot the anniversary. The apology can’t wait. Your mom’s birthday is today and you’re stuck in back-to-back meetings.

Life in Manhattan doesn’t slow down for special moments. That’s why same-day flower delivery exists. Order before 2 PM and we’ll get fresh flowers to Washington Heights, Midtown, or anywhere in NYC the same day. Not tomorrow. Today.

Here’s what that actually means: roses sourced that morning from the wholesale flower district. Arrangements designed by hand in our shop on 51st Street. Delivery scheduled within the window you choose, not whenever the driver feels like it. You get to look thoughtful even when you’re scrambling. They get flowers that don’t wilt by dinner.

Local Florist Serving Washington Heights

We Know NYC Because We Work Here
We operate from 3 West 51st Street in the heart of Manhattan. We’ve supplied flowers for movie sets, corporate offices, and hundreds of Washington Heights residents who need reliable flower delivery without the runaround. Washington Heights has a median household income about 20% below the citywide average. That matters because you shouldn’t have to choose between quality flowers and reasonable pricing. We source fresh daily, design everything in-house, and skip the markup games that come with national chains shipping from warehouses in other states. You’re not getting a call center when something goes wrong. You’re getting a local flower shop that understands NYC delivery logistics and actually answers the phone.

How Our Flower Shop Works

Order Flowers Without the Guesswork

You browse arrangements on our site or call the shop directly. If you need something custom—specific colors, certain flowers, a particular vibe—just tell us. We’ll confirm what’s available that day and what it’ll cost. No surprises at checkout.

Once you place the order, we pull fresh flowers from our daily inventory. Everything’s sourced from NYC’s wholesale flower district that morning, so you’re getting stems that haven’t been sitting in a cooler for a week. Our florists design the arrangement by hand. Not a pre-packed box. Not a “designer’s choice” cop-out. An actual arrangement based on what you ordered.

For delivery, you pick the window. We coordinate with our drivers to hit that timeframe across Washington Heights, Midtown, or wherever in NYC you need it sent. If it’s same-day, we need the order by 2 PM. If you’re planning ahead, you can schedule for any day that works. You’ll get confirmation when it’s delivered. If there’s an issue—wrong address, no one home, building won’t accept deliveries—we call you immediately to figure it out.

Floral Arrangements for Washington Heights

What You Actually Get When You Order

Every arrangement includes fresh-cut flowers sourced that day, professional design, and delivery within NYC. You’re not paying for filler and baby’s breath. You’re getting the flowers you ordered, arranged so they actually look good.

For Washington Heights deliveries, we account for the neighborhood’s layout and building types. Lots of walk-ups. Lots of buildings where the super needs to let the driver in. We’ve done this enough to know how it works. If you’re sending flowers to a business in the area, we coordinate timing so they arrive when someone’s actually there to receive them.

Corporate clients get weekly or monthly subscriptions. Hotels and offices in Midtown use us for lobby arrangements and conference room flowers. We also handle weddings and events—full setup, delivery, breakdown if needed. For production work, we’ve supplied background flowers and hero arrangements for film sets across New York City. If you need flowers to photograph well or last through a 12-hour shoot, we know how to prep them.

Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day get chaotic. Expect limited selection during peak weeks and order early. We’re not going to pretend we have endless inventory when rose suppliers are stretched thin across the entire city. During normal weeks, you’ll have full access to our standard arrangements plus custom options.

Do you actually deliver flowers the same day in Washington Heights?

Yes, if you order before 2 PM. Same-day flower delivery works when we have enough lead time to design the arrangement and route the driver. After 2 PM, we can usually still make it happen, but you need to call the shop directly so we can confirm.

Washington Heights delivery typically takes 2-4 hours from order time, depending on where the driver is and what else is on the route. If you need it there by a specific time—say, before someone leaves work at 5 PM—tell us when you order. We’ll either confirm we can hit that window or let you know it’s not realistic that day.

The $25 delivery fee covers the driver’s time and gas across NYC. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not inflated. Manhattan delivery is expensive because of traffic, parking, and the time it takes to get into buildings. If you’re sending flowers locally within a few blocks, the fee stays the same. If you’re sending to the Bronx or Brooklyn, same thing. Flat rate across our delivery area.

Most arrangements last 5-7 days if you follow basic care. Roses can go a bit longer. Lilies and tulips are usually on the shorter end. It depends on the flower type and how fresh they were when we got them.

We source from the NYC wholesale flower district every morning. That means the roses delivered to Washington Heights today were cut within the last 48 hours, not last week. Fresher flowers last longer. It’s not complicated.

Here’s what kills flowers fast: warm rooms, direct sunlight, and forgetting to change the water. Keep them in a cool spot, trim the stems every couple days, and refresh the water. If they came with flower food, use it. If you don’t want to deal with all that, just change the water every other day and they’ll still last nearly a week. If something wilts within 24 hours, call us. That’s not normal and we’ll replace it.

You can request custom arrangements. Call the shop and describe what you want—color palette, flower types, size, occasion. We’ll tell you what’s available that day and what it’ll cost. If we don’t have something in stock, we’ll suggest alternatives that match the vibe you’re going for.

Custom orders work best when you give us at least 24 hours notice. Same-day custom is possible but limited to whatever flowers we have on hand that morning. If you need specific blooms for a wedding or event, we’ll order them in advance from our suppliers.

Pricing for custom work depends on the flowers and size. A small custom bouquet might run $60-80. A large statement arrangement for a corporate lobby or event could be $200+. We’ll quote it before you commit. No surprise charges. If you want something elaborate—specific imported flowers, intricate design work, unusual containers—expect to pay more. You’re getting a one-off design, not a pre-made arrangement we crank out 50 times a day.

We call you. If the recipient isn’t home and the building won’t accept the delivery, our driver contacts the shop and we reach out to you immediately. You can provide an alternate address, reschedule for later that day, or have us leave them with a neighbor or doorman if that’s an option.

For Washington Heights deliveries, a lot of buildings have supers or front desk staff who’ll take packages. We’ll leave flowers with them if it’s a secure handoff. If it’s a walk-up with no one around, we’re not leaving $75 worth of flowers on a doorstep. We’ll try calling the recipient directly if you provided their number. If we can’t reach anyone, the flowers come back to the shop and we coordinate redelivery.

Redelivery usually happens the next day at no extra charge if it wasn’t your fault. If you gave us the wrong address or the recipient deliberately avoided delivery, we’ll charge for a second trip. Most of the time, this doesn’t happen. Most people are either home, at work where someone can accept delivery, or have a doorman. But when it does happen, we handle it directly with you instead of leaving you guessing where your flowers went.

Yes. We deliver sympathy flowers and funeral arrangements to homes, funeral homes, and churches throughout Washington Heights and NYC. For funeral deliveries, timing matters. Services start at specific times and flowers need to arrive beforehand. Give us the service date, time, and location when you order. We’ll coordinate delivery so the arrangement is there before the service begins.

Sympathy arrangements are different from birthday bouquets. People expect certain flowers—lilies, white roses, chrysanthemums—and certain styles. We design them appropriately. If you’re not sure what to send, call and we’ll walk you through options based on your relationship to the deceased and the family’s preferences if you know them.

For funeral home deliveries, we confirm the address and service details before the driver leaves. Funeral homes receive dozens of arrangements for each service, so we include a clear card with your name and message. If you’re sending flowers to the family’s home instead, we deliver during reasonable hours and handle it with appropriate sensitivity. This isn’t the time for bright, cheerful birthday arrangements. We get that.
