  • Pink and White Delight

    Lopez The Florist

    Local shopAdams Village

    Roses, everyday bouquets, sympathy and events

    Typical price$90+ delivery

    Same-day · before 10am

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Lopez The Florist is a Dorchester shop for anniversary, birthday, get-well and everyday flowers, with a healthy sympathy range and weddings by consultation. It also lists plants, orchids, lilies and custom arrangements. Shop hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm. Its listed designs lean into roses and mixed bouquets, with prices in October 2026 from $60 to $250 and typically about $90. The top of the range is the Three Dozen Long Stem Roses at $250, while the rest sit closer to the middle. Plan ahead: same-day orders need to be placed before 10am. If you want a Dorchester shop for a birthday or sympathy piece delivered tomorrow, it's a sensible option. Many designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

    Its same-day terms: before 10am.

  • Wildflower Vase

    Nellie's Wildflowers

    Local shopDavis Square

    Wildflower arrangements, loose stems, plants and soaps

    Typical price$75+ delivery

    Same-day · before noon

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Nellie's Wildflowers is built around a garden and wildflower look: loose-cut bouquets, wildflower vases, plants and soaps, plus custom and sympathy work. There's a $50 Designer's Choice loose-cut bouquet for pickup only, and listed prices overall run from $50 to $150, typically about $75, with the $150 Premium Designer's Choice Vase at the top. If you want something loose and informal for a Davis Square pickup or a delivery around Somerville and its surrounding towns, this is a good call. It is a walk-in shop open Tuesday through Saturday. Its site names delivery areas from Boston and East Boston through Cambridgeport, Inman Square and West Somerville. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon, and many designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's interpretation. No founder or founding year is published.

    Its same-day terms: before noon.

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Sunny Florists is a South Boston design shop with a seasonal, hand-tied style, plus ranunculus, dahlias, protea, succulents, orchids and lilies for wedding and event work. The shop also carries sympathy flowers. It says it offers same-day delivery for orders placed before 1pm. Listed prices in October 2026 run from $65 to $225, typically about $105. Time Out Boston included it in its 2024 list of top Boston florists. It lists Charlestown, Kendall Square, Winter Hill and other neighbourhoods and towns it names. Many designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

  • Morning Melody

    Central Square Florist

    Local shopCentral Square

    Occasion bouquets, plants, weddings and sympathy

    Typical price$100+ delivery

    Same-day · no set cut-off

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Central Square Florist has been delivering gifts around Boston since 1929, and today it is a fourth-generation family business run by David and Jackie Levine. The offer is broad: contemporary and traditional arrangements, seasonal flowers, plants, sympathy pieces, wedding and event work, corporate gifts, and express same-day delivery to local hospitals and funeral homes. The owners say they are usually in the shop themselves. Store hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm, and closed Sunday. Listed prices in October 2026 run from $50 to $700, typically about $100. Morning Melody from $55 and Royal Jewel from $135 are among the listed pieces. For a Cambridge-side shop that can handle both a spur-of-the-moment bouquet and planned wedding work, it's a sensible all-rounder. It delivers to Cambridge, Boston, Brighton, Brookline, Charlestown, Somerville, Watertown and Newton, with delivery fees handled at checkout.

    Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

  • Boudicca

    Sweet Pea and Sage

    Local shopJamaica Plain

    Occasion flowers, subscriptions, workshops and gifts

    Typical price$85+ delivery

    Same-day · by phone

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    In Jamaica Plain, this husband-and-wife shop with a local-first streak is an easy recommendation. Run by owners Gerald Dudley and Deidre McKenna, it names its vase arrangements after goddesses, from the compact 'Artemis' tabletop piece at $75 up to 'Boudicca' at $350, with the catalogue typically around $85. A 'Locally Grown' line builds on seasonal local stems, including ten-stem local dahlias and a bud vase trio, and alongside the flowers sits a small collection of crystals, tarot decks and locally made candles. The shop also does subscriptions, workshops, weddings and sympathy work, and delivers to Jamaica Plain, Boston and the surrounding areas. Same-day is by phone with no published cut-off, and the shop is closed Tuesdays. For a birthday bunch with personality or a sympathy piece, it is a strong neighborhood call.

    Its same-day terms: offered by phone; no cut-off published.

    Typical price$85+ delivery

    Same-day · by 3pm Monday to Friday, 11am Saturday

    Delivers 9am to 5pm daily

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    A Somerville shop despite the Bostonian name, Bostonian Florist is a walk-in for everyday flowers, anniversary and birthday pieces, plants, balloons, sympathy work and corporate gifts. Its site names a long delivery list that includes Allston, Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown, Dorchester and Somerville. It also takes weddings and events by consultation and runs daily deliveries to local funeral homes and hospitals. Listed arrangements in October 2026 are typically about $85, from $55 to $373. The Fall Chic Bouquet at $92.50 and the $90 Luxe and Lovely Lavender Roses are good markers of the range. If you're after flowers across Somerville, Arlington, or Cambridge, it's a practical call, though the site publishes same-day delivery by 3pm Monday to Friday and 11am Saturday but no delivery fee. It closes Sundays except by appointment, and many designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

    Its same-day terms: by 3pm Monday to Friday, 11am Saturday.

    Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily.”

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens is the Beacon Hill shop, with its flagship on West Cedar Street since 1981 and a second retail shop in Winchester Center since 2024. Its team works from global and local stems and is known for seasonal, garden-inspired pieces, with same-day delivery for orders placed by 2pm and a flat $24 online delivery fee across its listed Boston neighbourhoods. Listed prices in October 2026 run from $85 to $595, typically about $198. Tanzanite at $300 is a good mid-range marker and Secret Garden at $595 the top. Outer towns may need 24 hours' notice. It's the shop for a Beacon Hill or Back Bay gift, wedding and event work, subscriptions and garden design. Boston Magazine named it Best Florist in its 2024 editors' picks, and Time Out Boston included it in its 2024 florist roundup.

    Local shopFinancial District

    Corporate, occasion and sympathy flowers

    Typical price$112.45+ delivery

    Same-day · before noon, weekdays

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Louis Barry Florist has served Boston since 1978 from the lobby of the International Place office tower, and it specializes in corporate accounts, events, and weddings alongside everyday occasion work. The catalogue leans on dahlia- and garden-style designer's choice pieces, and because the site runs on a BloomNation template, many of the listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Prices are listed from $84.95 to $149.95, typically about $112; "Modern Sophistication" is the $84.95 entry point. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon on weekdays, and the shop names a long list of towns it serves, from Back Bay and Cambridge to Newton and Quincy, and other towns it lists. Hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, closed weekends. For an office gift downtown, it's a natural fit.

    Its same-day terms: before noon, weekdays.

Central Square Florist in Cambridge holds the most Google reviews of any shop on the page, a 4.9 from 1,467, and has been trading since 1929 by its own account. Coady Florist (4.9 from 491), Brattle Square Florist (4.8 from 256), Lopez The Florist (4.9 from 251), Nellie's Wildflowers (5.0 from 245) and Sunny Florists (4.9 from 208) round out the most-reviewed.

Those figures are Google's. The Petal Score is ours, built from those reviews for what customers say, delivery reliability and what happens when things go wrong, plus our own checks of recognition and clear prices and terms. On that measure no Boston shop is Exceptional, and six are Excellent: Coady Florist at 8.5, Lopez The Florist at 8.5, Nellie's Wildflowers at 8.4, Sunny Florists at 8.2, Central Square Florist at 8.1 and Bloom Couture Floral Haus at 8.0. The highest Good score is 7.9, which four shops share. Boston Magazine's editors' picks went to Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens in 2024, Table & Tulip in 2023 and The Centerpiece Flower Shop in 2022.

Is it better to order from a local florist or online in Boston?

For a specific neighbourhood, a sympathy piece or a florist's own hand, go local, and 12 of the 22 everyday shops sell their own sympathy arrangements while 17 listed shops do wedding work. For the widest same-day window, the national services match or exceed the local shops: From You Flowers takes orders until 3pm on weekdays, the same as Bostonian Florist's 3pm Monday to Friday, and on Sundays four national services still deliver while only Coady Florist publishes a Sunday time among the local shops. Our testers' own orders back the national services' scores, and we earn a commission on those links.

Which Boston florists deliver same-day?

Seven everyday shops publish a cut-off the page tracks live: Bostonian Florist by 3pm Monday to Friday and 11am Saturday; Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens by 2pm Monday to Saturday; Coady Florist by 1pm Monday to Saturday and noon Sunday, the only Sunday cut-off among the local shops; Sunny Florists by 1pm; Louis Barry Florist before noon on weekdays; and Lopez The Florist and Bloom Couture Floral Haus before 10am. Nellie's Wildflowers (before noon) and Junebug (by noon Tuesday to Friday, inside Charlestown, 02129, only) publish times the page shows but does not count live, because they do not hold every weekday.

Seven more offer same-day without a clock time: Central Square Florist, Davis & Sawin Florist, Rococo Floral and The Centerpiece Flower Shop offer it without publishing a cut-off, Chaba Florists asks for orders at least four hours ahead, Sweet Pea and Sage takes same-day orders by phone, and Micro Plant Studio & Florist offers it for its Designer's Choice only. Robins Flower Shop delivers next-day online and asks you to call for same-day.

How much does a bouquet cost from a Boston florist?

Typical prices, the median of each shop's own listed arrangements before delivery, read October 2026, run from $75 at Nellie's Wildflowers to about $198 at Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens, with half the shops sitting between about $88 and $132 and the middle shop around $118. One shop, Nellie's Wildflowers, keeps its typical price at $75 or less.

The Under $75 view shows local bouquets at $75 or less, at the shops' own prices.

Where should I order sympathy flowers in Boston?

Twelve of the 22 everyday shops sell their own sympathy or funeral arrangements, and the page's sympathy view shows only those. The view opens with bouquets from up to eight shops, at their own prices. For a same-day sympathy piece, check the cut-off table, since a few shops publish a time and more offer same-day without a published time. For a service beyond the shops' own delivery areas, the national services deliver through local florists and may be the simpler call.

How We Built This Page

Read How We Built This Page

  • What This Page Is For

    Petal Republic city florist indexes are designed to help you find the best local florist or hand-tested national flower delivery service for every occasion.

  • How We Found and Scored Shops

    For Boston, we've systematically researched customer reviews of local florists across popular platforms such as Google Maps and Yelp. A person checks every florist against seven rules; failing any means no listing and no Petal Score. Reviews are weighted by age: 20 or more earn a score, 10 to 19.9 earn a band only, and under 10 requires a named press pick or The Knot Best of Weddings win. No minimum star rating. We also factor in accredited awards and press mentions by trusted journalistic outlets. This page covers independent florists with a storefront in the City of Boston, Cambridge or Somerville. Each listed shop now carries a Petal Score built from its Google reviews over the last 24 months and our own checks of its site, press and awards.

  • Checked by Hand

    A hand check followed for shops with near-perfect ratings, office-tower or suite addresses or thin independent signals, and two were held back; shops whose own photographs could not be read are not listed, while design studios with no everyday delivery appear on the Weddings view only. We added five shops from our own Boston guides to the check, and two of them, wedding and event studios, are now on the Weddings view. One of the two held back in September is now listed. After our Petal Score checks, five of the 29 are off the page: three did not meet our listing rules and two are not listed after a closer read of their recent complaints.

  • What the Cards Rely On

    Our cards rely on published reviews, press, prices and cut-offs; the national services' scores come from our testers' own orders.

  • How We Test National Services

    Every national service with a Petal Tested score was ordered like any customer: we paid full price under the tester's name and address, and nothing on the order or card mentioned Petal Republic. We note the delivery window and photograph the box, card, flowers in daylight, stems, and any damage, then one photo on days 1, 3, 5 and 7. The score covers arrival, condition, stem count, varieties and colors, substitutions, packaging, the card, and longevity, with an overall 1 to 5. 4.6+ is Top marks, 4.0 to 4.5 Recommended, 3.0 to 3.9 Mixed, below 3.0 Not recommended.

  • Occasion Picks

    Each occasion opens with up to eight bouquets from Boston shops and up to four from national services. We work down the Petal Score and take one bouquet from each shop that sells for the occasion on its own site, only bouquets the shop delivers itself and never below its delivery minimum. If fewer than eight shops qualify, the shelf shows fewer; we don't fill the gaps with national bouquets. The national picks come from the services our team has tested hands-on, one each, highest Petal Tested score first. Luxury, Under $75 and Same-Day work the same way, with bouquets of $130 or more, $75 or less, or from shops that publish same-day terms. Every price is the shop's own for its standard size, before delivery.

  • Prices and Same-Day Cut-Offs

    Prices are the shops' listed prices before delivery, checked throughout the year and last read in October 2026, and same-day cut-offs are shown in Boston time with a live count of who can still deliver today.

Google ratings, review counts and press read October 23 and 25, 2026. Band first, then score, then customer and delivery record; no shop pays to appear.
