A Smarter Way To Send Flowers - Experience You Can Trust

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.

Same-Day Flower Delivery, Backed by 25+ Years of Experience

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.

Experience you can feel

Decades of real-world delivery know-how: secure buildings, campuses, concierge drop-offs, and timing that matters.

Freshness-first handling

Smart timing + shade notes + accurate addresses = flowers that arrive bright, not tired.

Clear expectations, fast ordering

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.

 

Real local delivery know-how

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.

How We Choose Our Florist & Gifting Partners

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.


Best Flowers For Popular Occasions

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.

Delivery Coverage in Top States & Major Cities

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sending Flowers Online

How does Send Flowers Today work?

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).


What does “same-day delivery” really mean?

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.

Will the flowers look exactly like the photo?

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.

What should I write on the card?

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.”

Do you deliver to hospitals and funeral homes?

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.

What if nobody is home?

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.”

What are the best flowers for last-minute gifting?

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.
