  Scotts Flowers NYC

  Scotts Flowers runs like a Midtown workhorse that has been at it long enough to know the city's rhythms. The Garment District shop sells seasonal and best-selling bouquets, Bloom Boxes, a gifts line with candles and chocolates, and recurring brand and lobby arrangements for offices. Google reviewers keep coming back to the orchids, the flower quality and the handwritten notes. Most listed arrangements run $50 to $850, with a median around $220; The Libra at $145 and Modern Roses in red at $125 are signature pieces. Same-day delivery in Manhattan requires an order by 2 PM EST, and by 10 AM EST for Upper Manhattan and the outer boroughs. There is an $85 delivery minimum, and wedding work has been paused since the pandemic. When I reviewed Scotts in September 2025, I noted consistent quality and customer service that keeps clients returning. Time Out's 2025 roundup credits a run since 1982, though Secret NYC's 2024 list says 1947.

  Mahir Floral & Event Designs

  Mahir's spot on West 28th Street in the Flower District means you get a shop that sources like an insider. It offers custom bouquets and vase arrangements alongside plants and succulents, with an event practice covering weddings, corporate work, restaurants, hotels, holiday decor and retail window displays. Same-day delivery runs seven days a week across all five boroughs, with in-store pickup as an alternative. Most listed arrangements run $15 to $4,500, around $175 at the median; signature pieces include Lemon Luxe at $175 and Midnight Tropics at $300. Google reviewers keep coming back to the custom bouquet design and the helpful staff. Thursd's 2026 guide calls it a stop for seeing New York's floral engine up close. The shop was established in 2012 as a reinvention of Garden District, a florist with more than 40 years behind it. One gap: no delivery fee or minimum is published, so the fee appears only at checkout.

  Andrew’s TakeClose

  Alaric Flower Design

  For architectural bouquets and orchids on the Upper West Side, Alaric Flower Design works at the higher end of the market. Most arrangements run $85 to $650, with a median around $215, and signatures include the White Spray at $650 and Orchids Jewel at $385. Google reviewers mention the orchids, the elegant arrangements and the wedding work. The studio counts Tiffany & Co., DKNY, L'Oréal and Wells Fargo among its corporate clients, which tells you the level of finish to expect. Same-day delivery across Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn is available when you order before 2pm, covering the Upper West and East Sides, Midtown, SoHo, Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. It also offers subscriptions, gift boxes with champagne and artisan chocolates, and flower-arranging classes from its 54 West 70th Street studio. For a statement piece or a corporate account, this is where I would start.

  Its same-day terms: by 2pm.

  Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “We deliver within a general window (morning or afternoon).

  Petal Tested verdicts: Top marks 4.6 and up · Recommended 4.0 to 4.5 · Mixed 3.0 to 3.9 · Not recommended under 3.0.

  Larissa Runkle ordered the Mumma Mia! Hand-Tied in October 2026. It arrived inside the delivery window and was still fresh on day 8. Floom is a marketplace where every bouquet comes from an independent florist selected by delivery ZIP, so the style and availability change by city, with the deepest choice in major markets. In Brooklyn, same-day delivery runs on bouquets tagged Available Today, ordered by 1pm local. It suits readers who want a specific local florist's hand rather than a national arrangement.

  Discount: 10% off with code WELCOMEBACK, entered at checkout.

  Its published terms here: Same-day on selected bouquets, by 1pm, New York time.

  Prices are before delivery; the fee shown is the one it publishes.

  A&M Floral Place

  A boutique that splits its attention between the Upper West Side and Brooklyn, A&M Floral Place leans modern and composed. Most arrangements run $80 to $320, with a median around $140; signatures include the Box Secret Garden at $235 and Chelsea Morning at $175. Google reviewers mention the flower boxes, the bouquet quality, and designs that feel distinct rather than off-the-shelf. The shop also runs workshops, weddings and a recurring-occasion subscription called the Never Forget Club. Delivery covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island with a $50 minimum, and the fee varies by distance and window, shown at checkout. Note that the same-day cut-off is not published as a time, so order earlier than you think you need to. For a flower box or a standing gift, it is a polished choice.

  Andrew’s TakeClose

  Le Jardin Rose

  If you want a wedding florist with an easy online catalogue, this Midtown boutique is a sensible place to start. It opened online in 2018 and added its 712 Second Avenue storefront in 2021, and its own copy promises sophisticated palettes and organic, emotion-led arrangements. Google reviewers spend the most time on wedding flowers and boutonnières. Most arrangements run $109 to $309, with a median of $145 in September 2026. Named pieces include the $309 Rainbow and the $235 Blessed. Same-day delivery covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and surrounding areas, though no specific cut-off is published and fees are set at checkout. One plain note: many of its listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

  Andrew’s TakeClose

  PlantShed

  In April 2024 I wrote that PlantShed is a dependable spot for ready-to-go bouquets and vase arrangements, and nothing in the current listing changes that. Prices in September 2026 run from $59 to $185 across its named bouquets, with a median of $95. Ember at $95 and Golden Hour at $185 show the range. Time Out New York named it among its 2025 NYC flower delivery picks. The offer goes well beyond cut flowers: houseplants, orchids, gifts, subscriptions, workshops and office plant services, all from a network of Manhattan storefronts plus a Greenpoint location and a 10,000-square-foot growing facility. Same-day delivery runs seven days a week, though no cut-off time or fee is published. Google reviewers mention the friendly staff and the café side as much as the flowers, and buyers should know this is a multi-location chain rather than a single studio.

  Petal Tested verdicts: Top marks 4.6 and up · Recommended 4.0 to 4.5 · Mixed 3.0 to 3.9 · Not recommended under 3.0.

  The May 2023 Flowerbx order came from Andrew Gaumond, who received peonies, snapdragons and roses on time within a UPS window; the photographs were taken in Paris, so this is European hands-on evidence. Flowerbx cuts single-variety bunches to order and ships them boxed, serving Manhattan and twelve East Coast states rather than the whole country, and the stems arrive pre-bloom for composing at home. In Brooklyn, delivery is by UPS only, with no same-day option. It suits readers on the East Coast who want one variety handled simply and are happy to arrange it themselves. Its score was given before our 2026 testing criteria.

  Its published terms here: Same-day to Manhattan only, by 1pm weekdays, New York time.

  Prices are before delivery; the fee shown is the one it publishes.

  Black Petals Flowers

  For hospital flowers on the Upper East Side, Black Petals is the shop I'd call. It names the East Side hospitals it serves, from Memorial Sloan Kettering to Lenox Hill, and its hand-arranged, modern, hand-tied bouquets go out same-day across Manhattan and into Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, with a 6 PM cut-off and free delivery over $150 (the fee below that isn't published). Most listed arrangements run about $99, with the Signature Hydrangea at $95 anchoring the everyday end and the Premium 100 Stem Rose at $501.23 the splurge. Orchid plants, truffles, balloons and custom designs round out the offer, and Google reviewers keep coming back to the lilies, roses and sympathy pieces. Do check you're ordering from its own site, since a similarly named shop operates elsewhere online.

  Matles Florist

  A real local shop since 1962, Matles is the one to keep in the contacts when you want a compact, elegant arrangement delivered free in Manhattan. Its own words emphasize seasonal palettes and freshness, and Google reviewers repeatedly mention tulips, roses and the shop's trustworthiness. Listed prices in September 2026 run $95.95 to $155.95, with a Florist's Choice Daily Deal from $96.95 and the Classic Love Bouquet at $139.95. Same-day delivery needs an order by 2 p.m. on weekdays or noon on Saturday. Manhattan delivery is free, while Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and nearby areas require a phone call for a fee quote. The shop may substitute stems or vases for freshness, at same or greater value. One plain note: many of its listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

  Since 1977, Chelsea Florist has worked Eighth Avenue as an independent, hand-crafted shop, and it says it delivers its own work rather than routing orders through wire services. For a last-minute rose order, this is the one I'd call. The style is modern and artistic, and Google reviewers keep mentioning the roses, the vases and how well the shop handles rush orders. Most arrangements run about $140, from the Perfect Wrapped Long-Stemmed Red Roses at $85 up to the Classic Love Bouquet at $200, with the Radiant Rainbow at $99.95 as the middle pick. Same-day delivery runs to 3 PM weekdays and 2 PM Sundays across New York, Brooklyn, Astoria and Long Island City, and Thursd included it in its 2026 roundup of New York flower shops. Several of its listed designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered bouquet is the shop's own interpretation.

  Andrew’s TakeClose

  Flowers by Richard NYC

  For Theater District weddings and corporate work, this is a full-service operation built around imported exotics. The shop says its flowers arrive daily from Holland, Costa Rica and Hawaii, and it turns them into wedding bouquets, boutonnieres and custom arrangements. Reviewers mention the handwritten notes that go out with the orders. The team has been serving New York for more than 25 years, and it also handles parties and personal functions, sometimes on short notice, which is exactly the flexibility a Theater District event wants. From what I can see of the work, it suits a wedding or a corporate install more than a quick everyday bunch. Plan around delivery in 24 to 48 hours rather than same-day, even though the site's title says otherwise. Many listed designs are catalogue pages shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Hours run long, from 6am weekdays.

  For last-minute same-day delivery, Ruscus is the shop I'd call. Its same-day cutoff is 4 p.m., and it delivers across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens from a 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily operation. The offer spans classic and luxury roses, seasonal tulips, peonies and dahlias, premium exotic WOW bouquets, flower baskets and custom work. Prices run from $60 for a sunflower and chamomile bunch to $900 for 50 pink peonies, with a median of $150 in September 2026. The $110 24 Roses is the reference point for a classic dozen. Google reviewers keep coming back to the custom bouquets, the roses and the last-minute reliability, and the shop backs its work with a three-day freshness guarantee or a replacement. A free vase comes on orders over $100. No delivery fee is published, so the final total will show at checkout.

  Flowers on Essex

  Last-minute Manhattan orders are this Flower District counter's comfort zone. Bill has run the shop for 42 years out of the wholesale market on West 28th Street, and Google reviewers keep coming back to the roses, the custom bouquets and the speed when time is short. Most arrangements listed on the shop's own site in September 2026 run $80 to $250, with a median around $110 across 35 named pieces. The Pleasure of Pink, at $100, and The Star Gazer, at $150, are two to know by name. Same-day runs until 5pm. It covers Manhattan and nearby ZIP codes. One quirk: the name says Essex, the address says 28th Street, so double-check you are reading the right shop before ordering. Many listed designs are catalogue pages shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

  Its same-day terms: by 5pm.

  Typical price from its listing of September 26, 2026.

  Seasons A Floral Design Studio

  Weddings and rose-heavy gifts are where this studio is strongest. Google reviewers keep returning to the freshness of the roses and the boutonnieres, alongside the overall arrangements. The shop describes itself as luxury flower delivery with seasonal, thoughtfully designed work, and its named collections bear that out: Autumn in New York Deluxe is $400 and One Dozen Roses in a Vase is $175. Listed arrangements in September 2026 open around $135 and top out near $1,500, with most around $250. Custom arrangements, corporate installations, gourmet and orchid collections, and a deep sympathy line round out the offer. Delivery serves New York City and Westchester, though the second studio is in Irvington and only the 888 8th Avenue location sits inside the city. For a rose-forward birthday or a Manhattan wedding consult, this is a sensible place to begin.

  Andrew’s TakeClose

  Guerrero's Flower Shop

  Funeral work leads the catalogue at this Washington Heights shop, with baskets, crosses, casket pieces and crowns all represented. Google reviewers also mention custom roses and the plant options. The site runs from a $7 item to an $800 piece in September 2026, so there is no single typical price. Named arrangements include the White and Pink Mix Crown at $175 and Sun Flowers With Babybreath at $115, both of which show the shop's comfort with full funeral styling rather than a simple bunch. Between those poles sit wedding, birthday, anniversary and new-baby sections. The shop advertises free delivery and opens every day from 8am to 9pm, though it publishes no cut-off time, delivery radius or order minimum. If you want a specific funeral piece, call to pin down the details.

  Julia Testa

  A recession-era start turned design house, Julia Testa began with wedding flowers from a college kitchen and now runs a Bed-Stuy production studio plus a SoHo retail flagship. The look is bold, lush, and editorial, sliding from classic vases to artistic installations. Offerings cover everyday bouquets, weddings, corporate events, and subscriptions; the Brooklyn location is production only, with no walk-in shopping. Google reviewers mention artistic design, helpful team, and easy online ordering. Our 2024 orders showed quality, care, and style, and the client list includes the New York Stock Exchange, NBC Universal, and Revlon. Listed prices in September 2026 run $145 to $1,000, with a median around $285; Mother of Pearl is $850 and Going All In $650. Delivery is flat-rate at $25 for the first arrangement and $5 for each additional within the verified zone. For gifting that reads expensive and intentional, this is where I’d start.

  Named by Time Out 2025, Thursd 2026.

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

  116 Flowers

  For a broad range of occasion work in East Harlem, 116 Flowers covers everyday bouquets, sympathy, weddings and fruit baskets. Most arrangements run from about $45 to around $150, with a median around $80; the Garden of Grandeur for Fall is $124.99 and the Designer's Choice Arrangement is $104.99. Google reviewers mention roses and blue roses in particular. The shop keeps daily hours from 10am to 7pm and advertises same-day delivery across New York City, though it publishes no cut-off time. A practical point: much of the catalogue appears to be wire-network designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation of the listing photo. For a dependable Manhattan same-day order to a hospital or funeral home, it is a sensible shortlist pick.

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

  Typical price from its listing of September 26, 2026.
