Same-Day Flowers Near Me
In many areas, same-day delivery is available when you order early (recipient time).
Popular occasions include 🎂 birthdays, 💍 anniversaries, 🩺 get well, 🕊️ sympathy & funerals, 👶 new baby, and 🙏 thank you.
Holidays like 💘 Valentine’s Day, 💐 Mother’s Day, 🐣 Easter, 🦃 Thanksgiving, 🕎 Hanukkah, and 🎄 Christmas are also peak flower days.
The good news: the reasons to send flowers are endless. Our goal is to make it easy to send something meaningful, with same-day delivery options in many cities nationwide.
Ordering flowers online used to mean scrolling through dozens of sites and hoping the arrangement that arrives looks like the photo. Send Flowers Today was built to make that easier. We focus on connecting shoppers with reliable florists and vetted partners so you can feel confident sending flowers for the biggest moments in life - from birthdays and anniversaries to hospital stays, memorial services and everything in between.
We’ve been in the flower and gifting world for over 25 years, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that same-day delivery is all about the details: recipient phone numbers, hospital desk rules, gate codes, office hours, and weather. We focus on the practical stuff that helps deliveries go smoothly — so your flowers arrive looking fresh and on time.
Decades of real-world delivery know-how: secure buildings, campuses, concierge drop-offs, and timing that matters.
Smart timing + shade notes + accurate addresses = flowers that arrive bright, not tired.
Easy choices for birthdays, anniversaries, get well, sympathy, and “just because” — without the guesswork.
Tip from our team: Adding a recipient phone number + access notes (gate/concierge/suite) prevents most delivery delays.
Cities have quirks — secured buildings, campuses, and concierge drop-offs. We share tips that reduce delays.

We make it easy to pick the right arrangement for birthdays, anniversaries, get well, sympathy, and more.
Behind the scenes, we spend countless hours reviewing flower quality, delivery performance and customer feedback from different markets across the United States. Over time, that data becomes a shortlist of trusted options for each city and state, which is exactly what you see reflected in our state and city pages. Instead of guessing where to order, you can start here and quickly find flower delivery near you that has already proven it can show up on time and look beautiful.
Not every flower shop or website makes the cut. When we highlight a florist or partner, we look at:
When we’re confident that a florist checks these boxes, we often feature them as an exclusive city partner and give them extra visibility so shoppers can find them quickly. That’s why you’ll see certain cities linked in blue on our state list - those pages are tied to a real, named shop that focuses on that community every day.
Quality note: Flower varieties can shift with seasonality and local availability. We prioritize fresh, on-theme substitutions that keep the look and value consistent.
Not sure what to send? Here are some tried-and-true ideas our shoppers use when sending flowers for different occasions:
You can explore more ideas in our main categories, including Best Sellers, Birthday Flowers, Sympathy Flowers and Funeral Flowers.
We highlight the busiest areas (like Texas, California, New York, Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania) because they produce the most “deliver today” searches — but we also serve many surrounding suburbs and nearby ZIP codes.
Pro tip for same-day: include the recipient’s phone number, a gate/concierge note if needed, and the best delivery window (home vs. office). Those three details prevent most delivery delays.

For Florists
We’re building a better way to send flowers - city by city - by partnering with
real local florists instead of routing orders through multiple middlemen.
Our goal is simple: more value in the arrangement, better service, and a florist you can trust.
Tip: The blue city links are the locations where we currently have an
exclusive local florist available for that city page.
If you don't see a blue city link yet, don’t stress - we still have a trusted delivery partner that can
help in most areas.

About us: Send Flowers Today is built by a team with 25+ years of experience in flowers and gifting. We obsess over the “small” details that keep same-day deliveries smooth — especially for hospitals, offices, and secured buildings.
Send Flowers Today helps you find reliable flower delivery without the guesswork. In select cities, we highlight a real local florist partner. In other areas, we connect you with nationwide delivery partners that can still fulfill orders quickly.
You choose the arrangement, add a delivery address, and include a card message. For best same-day availability, order by 2:00 PM recipient time (Mon–Sat).
Same-day means the florist or delivery partner can design and deliver the arrangement on the same calendar day you order, as long as the order is placed before the cutoff and the item is available.
Timing can vary by city, traffic, and delivery location (homes vs. hospitals vs. businesses). If the order is time-sensitive (funerals, services, hospital discharges), include the recipient’s phone number so the driver can coordinate a smooth drop-off.
Photos are a style guide for the overall look (color palette, shape, and size). Because flowers are seasonal, local inventory can vary, so substitutions may be needed.
The goal is always a fresh arrangement of equal or greater value that matches the vibe of the design. If you want “no substitutions,” choose classic choices like roses, lilies, or a green plant.
Keep it short and specific. A quick memory or a simple “I’m thinking of you” lands harder than a long paragraph. Examples:
Birthday: “Hope today feels like a celebration from start to finish.”
Get well: “Sending color and comfort – I can’t wait to see you feeling better.”
Sympathy: “With love and support. We’re here for you.”
Yes – but these locations often have rules. Hospitals may require the patient’s full name, room number, and sometimes the recipient’s phone. Some units restrict flowers (ICU, allergy-sensitive areas).
For funeral homes and services, include the service time and the deceased’s name when possible. If you’re unsure, pick a classic sympathy arrangement or a peace lily plant.
Most deliveries can be left in a safe spot when appropriate (shade matters – especially in warm states). For apartments, gated communities, and offices, access issues are the #1 reason deliveries get delayed.
The fastest fix is simple: include a phone number for the recipient and a brief note like “Front desk” or “Call on arrival.”
For speed and reliability, choose designs built from common, high-availability blooms: roses, lilies, daisies, carnations, and mixed seasonal bouquets.
If you want something that lasts longer than a bouquet, go with a plant (like a peace lily) – it’s a great “I’m here for you” gift for sympathy or get well.
