Yes, we provide same-day flower delivery throughout Chinatown, NY when you place your order before 6:00 PM. Most deliveries happen within 2-4 hours of ordering.
Our delivery area covers all of Chinatown including East Broadway, Canal Street, Mott Street, and the surrounding blocks. We also deliver to nearby areas like Lower East Side and Financial District.
Same-day delivery is available seven days a week, including weekends and most holidays. During busy periods like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, we recommend ordering earlier in the day to guarantee same-day service.
For Chinese celebrations, red and gold flowers symbolize good fortune and prosperity. Peonies represent honor and wealth, while orchids symbolize luxury and strength. Red roses, chrysanthemums, and lilies are popular choices.
During Lunar New Year, arrangements with red and yellow flowers are especially meaningful. For birthdays and anniversaries, bright, vibrant colors show celebration and joy.
We avoid white flowers for happy occasions since they’re traditionally associated with mourning in Chinese culture. Our designers understand these cultural nuances and can guide you toward appropriate choices for your specific occasion.
Our flowers are selected fresh each morning from our suppliers and arranged the same day we deliver them. This means your recipients get flowers that are at peak freshness, not ones that have been sitting around for days.
