Marine Florists
Local shopFlatlands
All-occasion Brooklyn florist since 1898
Typical price$92.50+ delivery
Same-day · by 3pm weekdays, noon weekends
Andrew’s TakeClose
Few Brooklyn florists can claim 1898. Marine Florists has served Flatlands since then, was bought by the Tzentzelis family in 1987, and now operates a 14,000-square-foot store. It’s the shop I’d call for sympathy and funeral work; casket sprays, funeral baskets, and wreaths are a specialty, and the delivery network reaches named funeral homes, hospitals, and nursing homes across Brooklyn. Everyday bouquets and plants round out the offer, all hand-arranged and never shipped in a box. Google reviewers keep returning to online ordering, staff, and flower quality. Its December 2025 listing shows $50 to $399.95, with most arrangements near $90; Blooming Love is $99.95 to $399.95. Same-day orders need to be in by 3pm weekdays or noon on weekends, with delivery starting at $12.50 within Brooklyn.

Scotts Flowers NYC
Local shopGarment District
All-occasion Midtown florist, family-owned
Typical price$220+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm Manhattan, 10am outer boroughs
Outer boroughs 9am to 6pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
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
Local shopFlower District
Custom bouquets and full-scale event design
Typical price$175+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

Shannon Florist & Nursery
Local shopKensington
Forty-year family flowers and nursery
Typical price$69.99+ delivery
Same-day · by noon
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a combined florist and nursery, Joseph Perrotta and family have run Shannon Florist & Nursery for more than 40 years, and the shop reads as a plain full-service neighborhood operation rather than a design-led boutique. It handles all occasions, weddings, birthdays, sympathy and specialty funeral pieces, plus fruit and gourmet baskets, and the nursery side stocks shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials and seasonal pumpkins or Christmas trees. The reviews often mention the flower and funeral arrangements, the kind staff and the family-business feel. There is no published catalog, so call to ask about pricing. Its 2024 delivery terms cover same-day orders placed by noon, with a local delivery fee of $8 to $12 depending on ZIP code.

Golden Petals Studio
Local shopWoodside
Wrapped bouquets and sympathy work
Typical price$125.49+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
The wrapped bouquets tell you where this Woodside shop spends its effort. Golden Petals Studio lists a dozen in its own category, from Pure Elegance at $64.99 up to the 150 Mixed Roses Bouquet at $345.99, with most around $125; Antonia's Garden at $210.99 and Bouquet of Peonies at $282.99 are the showpieces. That range makes it a reasonable call for a substantial birthday or thank-you bouquet when you want something more than a standard mixed bunch. Google reviewers also mention custom arrangements and easy online ordering, and the shop handles sympathy and funeral work, corsages, weddings and a subscription package. Same-day delivery runs with a 2pm order cut-off, and Sunday is by appointment only, so weekday or Saturday ordering is simpler. Because the site runs on the Floranext florist platform, many of the listed designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, and the delivered arrangement is this shop's own interpretation.

Baezas Flowers and Decorations
Local shopPelham Parkway
Everyday bouquets and plants, personalized
Typical price$59.99+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
In the East Bronx, the arrangement that sounds like it was made by someone who listened is what I would start with at Baezas Flowers and Decorations. Owner Handel Leon grew it from a 250-square-foot corner store into an expanded flagship over seven-plus years, and the range runs from fresh mixed bouquets and indoor plants to chocolates, party favors, sympathy sprays and wedding work. Google reviewers mention the welcoming staff, handmade cards and unusual plants. Most arrangements run $44.99 to $74.99, with the Hand Bouquet at $44.99 and the Brilliant Ruby Bouquet at $74.99. They deliver to the Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester County and surrounding neighborhoods, and offer same-day delivery, though no cut-off time is published, so I would call before relying on it. If you need something particular, they clearly enjoy the custom side of the work.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Midtown Florist
Local shopBoerum Hill
Hand-delivered bouquets since 1965
Typical price$75.95+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Since 1965, this Boerum Hill shop has hand-delivered arrangements from the same downtown Brooklyn base, which makes it one of the longer runs in this group. Midtown Florist sells everyday and occasion bouquets, sympathy and funeral work, wedding flowers, plants, gift baskets, and wine pairings, all marketed as florist-designed rather than mass-produced. Google reviewers point to arrangement quality, flower freshness, and smooth online ordering. Listed prices in September 2026 run $63.95 to $355.95, with a median of $75.95; the Mixed Rose Arrangement is $79.95 and the Forever Adored Casket Spray $355.95. Same-day order cutoff is 2pm weekdays or noon Saturdays, and its free local delivery zone covers nearly every Brooklyn ZIP code. The trade-off is that the site runs on the Lovingly platform, so some of the history copy is template-led rather than shop-specific. For a reliable, long-running local option, this is a solid pick.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school.”

Moravian Florist
Local shopNew Dorp
Sympathy and wedding flowers since 1928
Excellent on its customer record: 851 reviews in two years, 9 delivery complaints
Typical price$135+ delivery
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
A fourth-generation Staten Island business since 1928, Moravian Florist covers the everyday and the formal in equal measure. Most of its listed arrangements run $100 to $160, with a median around $135; signatures include Orchid Fusion at $140 and Harvest Moon at $135. Google reviewers mention the online ordering, the photos of what arrived, and the accommodating staff. The shop delivers seven days a week across Staten Island neighbourhoods including New Dorp, Grant City, Oakwood and Tottenville, and runs a separate site, statenislandweddingflowers.com, for weddings and events. Delivery fees appear at checkout and may be extra. For sympathy pieces to a local funeral home, a birthday bunch, or a wedding handled by people who have done this since 1928, it is an easy, reliable call.

Flushing Garden Florist
Local shopFlushing
Funeral flowers and custom bouquets
Typical price$88.50+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
From the catalogue and the shop's own site, Flushing Garden Florist reads as a family-run local workhorse for Flushing, Queens, Great Neck and the 40-plus surrounding communities it delivers to. Owner Tina Kim has 15-plus years of floral experience and a Vogue feature to her name, which shows in the finish of the arrangements, right down to ribbons and decorative accents. For a seasonal arrangement, Pink Dream at $144.99 or Pink Spring at $110 are the two I'd look at first, though most listed arrangements run from $61.99 to $144.99 and sit around $88. Google reviewers keep returning to the arrangements and the way the team listens. Same-day delivery is advertised but with no published cut-off. Because many listings run through BloomNation, several designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered arrangement is this shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Le Jardin Rose
Local shopMurray Hill
Sophisticated bouquets and wedding flowers
Typical price$145+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

Jasmine's Floral Design
Local shopPark Slope
Family-run arrangements since 1985
Typical price$134.99+ delivery
Morning or afternoon delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
A family-run Park Slope institution of 41 years, Jasmine’s Floral Design covers everyday and occasion bouquets, sympathy and funeral work, roses, and weddings from a Park Slope walk-in shop. Google reviewers come back to fresh flowers and arrangement quality, with custom bouquets and funeral pieces mentioned too. Listed prices from the shop’s best sellers in September 2026 run $84.99 to $299.99, with a median of $134.99; Radiant Daydream is $159.99 and Floral Pathway $89.99. The shop is open every day, including Sundays 9am to 3pm, which is handy for weekend orders. The same-day delivery area is Brooklyn and surrounding areas, but no cutoff time or delivery fee is published, and the locations page needs JavaScript to reveal its full list. For a dependable neighborhood florist that still does strong sympathy work, it’s worth the call.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Delivery times are generalized to “morning” and “afternoon” deliveries. If you require a timed delivery, please call and speak with our designers to make those arrangements.”

Black Petals Flowers
Local shopUpper East Side
Hospital delivery specialist, hand-tied bouquets
Typical price$98.75+ delivery
Same-day · by 6pm
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.
Its same-day terms: by 6pm.

Matles Florist
Local shopHell's Kitchen
Compact, elegant arrangements since 1962
Typical price$118.45+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm weekdays, noon Saturday.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school.”

St Albans Florist
Local shopSt. Albans
Last-minute roses and sympathy flowers
Typical price$50+ delivery
Same-day · by 8pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Same-day orders here can go in as late as 8pm, which is the practical reason to keep St Albans Florist in mind when a deadline has already passed at other Queens shops. The shop describes itself as Christian- and Black-owned with more than 40 years of floral design experience, and its service to Masons, Eastern Star members, transit workers, teachers and NYPD officers says a lot about how it treats regulars. Roses are the backbone: 12 Red Roses Bouquet at $50, 12 Red Roses Wrap at $60 and 18 Red Roses with Designer Wrapping at $80, with Heart Preserved Roses at $200 as the showpiece. Listed arrangements span $10 to $200, most around $50, and Google reviewers mention roses, fresh flowers, no lilies and last-minute arrangements. It delivers across Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Queens Village and parts of Brooklyn and Long Island. Many designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: by 8pm.

Petals On Forest
Local shopWest Brighton
Occasion bouquets and plant subscriptions
Typical price$94+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
There is a person on the other end of this West Brighton shop, and that is the reason I would start here. The site covers birthdays, anniversaries, get-well and new-baby pieces, prom corsages and boutonnieres, sympathy and funeral work, plants, subscriptions and wedding consultations, and its homepage claims more than 1,000 Staten Island customers. Google reviewers keep coming back to the warm and kind greeting, the careful handling and the staff's talent with arrangements. Listed arrangements run $65 to $349; Starry Romance is $169 and the Three Dozen Elegant Red Roses arrangement is $349. Same-day delivery is advertised, though no cut-off time is published, and delivery area details beyond Staten Island could not be confirmed. Many of the listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists through its platform, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Chelsea Florist
Local shopChelsea
Hand-crafted arrangements since 1977
Typical price$142.50+ delivery
Same-day · by 3pm weekdays, 2pm Sunday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

Flowers by Richard NYC
Local shopTheater District
Wedding and event work, tropical imports
Typical price$110+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

Creative Flower Shop
Local shopMiddle Village
Wedding and funeral florals since 1985
Typical price$75+ delivery
Same-day · before 1pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Serving Queens since 1985, this Middle Village shop is the sister of Creative Florist in Rego Park and carries the same broad catalogue: tropicals, dish gardens, silk and dried work, wedding pieces, and funeral designs. Google reviewers mention the boutonnières, wedding flowers, and special occasion bouquets. The delivery terms are unusually specific: orders before 1 p.m. in the recipient's time zone for same-day service, a local fee of $4.95 to $11.95 per address, plus a $9.99 surcharge for same-day. Both of the brand's websites blocked automated access during our check, so those terms come from search snippets rather than a direct read of the live page. As with other catalogue-based florists, the listed designs are largely shared templates, so the finished piece is this shop's own interpretation. For a Queens wedding or a funeral tribute with clear terms, it's a solid place to start.
Its same-day terms: before 1pm.

Elegant Florist
Local shopBay Ridge
Polished arrangements at approachable prices
Typical price$74+ delivery
Same-day · by 6pm, 3pm Sunday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
If polished, gift-shop-style arrangements are the brief, Elegant Florist does it affordably. This family-owned Bay Ridge shop has been operating since 2015 on the Lovingly network, and the catalog reads as tidy rather than wild: named pieces like Radiant Rainbow from $91. Most arrangements, listed in September 2026, run from $68 to $102, typically about $74, so it suits a smart everyday bouquet or a small occasion. Reviewers tend to mention the arrangements and the wedding flowers, with smaller notes on orchid pieces and boutonnieres. Same-day delivery runs until 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 3:00 PM Sunday, and it is free inside zip codes 11209, 11220 and 11228. The one caveat: some arrangement names are shared Lovingly catalog designs, so exact blooms may vary. For a low-fuss Bay Ridge order, this is a strong option.
Its same-day terms: by 6pm, 3pm Sunday.

Flowers on Essex
Local shopFlower District
Market-fresh bouquets, last-minute orders
Limited evidence
Typical price$110+ delivery
Same-day · by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

ManhattanFlorist.com

Roses, wedding bouquets and houseplants
Limited evidence
Typical price$119.99+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
There is less to work with here than for most shops on this list: the store's own website currently blocks automated visitors with a Cloudflare challenge, so I could not check its catalogue, prices or delivery terms directly. What survives is its Google reviewers, who talk most often about roses, wedding bouquets, house plants and arrangements they found beautiful. That pattern, plus its Bayard Street address, suggests a neighborhood shop worth calling rather than ordering blind online. As with many local florists, any designs shown on its site are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Until the site is readable, phone contact is the safest route, and expect to ask about same-day cut-offs, delivery areas and fees yourself.

Typical price$137.50+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off

Andrew’s TakeClose
With two Manhattan locations and more than two decades in the city, Artsy Flora handles weddings, everyday orders and corporate work from its Upper East Side boutique at 145 E 72nd Street and a Midtown West showroom at 507 W 42nd Street. Most arrangements run $85 to $500, with a median around $137.50; signatures include the Jewel of Love at $225 and Magic Spell at $300. Google reviewers mention orchids, memorable wedding flowers and bouquets that feel personal rather than formulaic. Delivery in Manhattan is free on online orders of $150 or more, and the shop also offers plants, orchids, residential and corporate design, and floral workshops. A practical note: the shop publishes no store hours for either address, so confirm before visiting. For a same-day Manhattan order above $150, the free delivery makes it an easy pick.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Alta Floristeria
Local shopLongwood
Custom bouquets, plants and balloons
Limited evidence
Typical price$75+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
This is a family-owned shop at 1114 Westchester Avenue, built around custom bouquets and a broad everyday range that includes dozen roses, sympathy and funeral work, houseplants, balloon bouquets, wedding pieces, silk flowers and baby gifts. Google reviewers keep coming back to the kind staff, the arrangements and the online ordering. Many of the listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Its own website would not load for us in September 2026, so I would confirm cut-offs and fees by phone. They advertise local Bronx delivery plus wire-service delivery anywhere in the world, and the directory listing shows them open 8:30am to 7pm daily. If you are nearby, it is worth a call for custom work; just be ready to describe what you want rather than click through the photos.

116 Flowers
Local shopEast Harlem
European-garden arrangements, hospital delivery
Typical price$79.99+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
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.

Flowers By Zenda
Local shopMarble Hill
Community flowers since 1946
Typical price$75+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Founded in 1946 by Bill Zenda, this Marble Hill institution began with the 'Poor Man's Bouquets' he sold to local customers and his habit of donating flowers to community organizations. Today Orlando Kross, the shop's only full-time employee and designer, still gives blooms to St. Stephen's church and Marble Hill events. Google reviewers mention the flower quality, the arrangements and the last-minute birthday surprises. Kross immigrated from the Netherlands in 1992; he was born in Aruba, started as the shop's delivery driver, and later bought the business and kept the Zenda name out of respect for the founder. Most listed bouquets run $55 to $150; the Fall Bouquet is $105 and 24 Radiant Roses is $150. Delivery reaches the Bronx, Manhattan, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Yonkers and Westchester. Many of the listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation, and no cut-off time is published, so call ahead.

Fox Fodder Flowers
Local shopTribeca
Wild, garden-style work and arranging classes
Typical price$215+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Delivers 9am to 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
For wild, seasonal work that looks art-directed rather than arranged, Fox Fodder Flowers is the studio I'd call in Tribeca. The shop's own line, "a little bit wild, always elegant," is an honest summary: garden-style pieces in roses, tulips, foxgloves, peonies, anemones and larkspurs, with local farms supplying as much as possible. Order arrangements, bunches or vessels for same-day rush delivery, book event design, or sign up for an in-person arranging class. When I wrote about the studio in April 2024, the part that stayed with me was the option to work with the team on a custom design around a palette, a flower combination or a sentiment. Thursd named it in a 2026 citywide list, and Secret NYC included it in a 2024 Valentine's roundup. Taylor Patterson founded the studio, naming it after her childhood farm in Delaware.

Cut-offs as each shop and service publishes them, in New York time, read between September 5 and September 26, 2026. A time published without days counts on weekdays only. Shops not listed publish no same-day terms. No national service has a cart at a NYC ZIP yet.
Straight Answers
These answers draw on Google reviews read on September 29, 2026, each shop's own prices, cut-offs, and terms from September and October 2026, our hands-on tests of national delivery services, our Petal Score, and our judgment on when a local shop is the better call.
Prices and fees as of the dates on the board; the board is true at ZIP 10001.
Which New York City flower shops have the best reviews?
Five shops lead on Google review volume: Moravian Florist in Staten Island at 4.9 from 3,004 reviews, Scotts Flowers NYC in Manhattan and Marine Florists in Brooklyn at 4.9 from 1,381 each, Mahir Floral & Event Designs in Manhattan at 4.9 from 1,083, and Shannon Florist & Nursery in Brooklyn at 4.9 from 715. Scotts Flowers NYC is the only one of those five with three recent press mentions, from Time Out New York, Thursd and Secret NYC. Fox Fodder Flowers and Flower Girl each carry two.
Those figures are Google's and the press lists are the publishers'. The Petal Score is our own assessment, built from those reviews for what customers say, delivery reliability and what happens when things go wrong, plus our own checks. On that measure no New York shop is Exceptional, but fifteen are Excellent: Marine Florists at 8.7, Scotts Flowers NYC and FleurDeVera at 8.5, and Mahir Floral & Event Designs at 8.4. Moravian Florist is Excellent at 7.8 on its customer record (851 reviews in two years, 9 delivery complaints). The highest Good score is 7.9, which eleven shops share.
Is it better to order from a local florist or online in New York City?
Most of the time, a local shop is the stronger call in New York. You get a florist in a specific borough, you can see the shop's own arrangements, and 62 shops publish enough arrangements for a typical price to be shown.
If you need flowers after the local cut-offs, or you are sending somewhere your chosen shop does not reach, a national service becomes the backstop. Floom and ProFlowers deliver same-day to all five boroughs, which is why they hold the two national cards on the main view.
Which New York City florists deliver same-day?
41 of the 66 shops offer same-day delivery, and 21 of those publish a cut-off. The latest times on the page are St Albans Florist in Queens and Deja Vu Flowers in Brooklyn, both by 8pm. Black Petals Flowers and Plantas y Flores Fordham cut at 6pm. Scotts Flowers NYC takes Manhattan orders by 2pm, but outer-borough orders need to be in by 10am.
After the shops close for the day, Floom and ProFlowers cover all five boroughs, and Ode à la Rose reaches Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens by 5pm for delivery by 9pm.
How much does a bouquet cost from a New York City florist?
Across the 62 shops that list enough arrangements to count, a typical bouquet runs from $40 at Pascual Fresh Flowers to $285 at Julia Testa. Half the shops sit between about $80 and $150, and the middle shop is at about $111. Twelve have a typical price of $75 or less. The numbers are medians of each shop's own listed prices, before delivery, read in September and October 2026, so a delivery fee is extra.
On the shelves, the Under $75 picks are A&M Floral Place's Coral Dream Bouquet at $55, ABC Trade Flowers' Always in My Soul Hand Tied European Garden at $65, and Marine Florists' Pink Rose Fancy Wrap at $69.99. On the Luxury shelf, Marine Florists' Peony Blooms is $199 and Scotts Flowers NYC's New York Crush is $215.
Where should I order sympathy flowers in New York City?
34 of the 66 shops sell their own sympathy bouquets, and the Sympathy view shows arrangements from the shops' own menus. Pick the borough first, check the cut-off, then read the card for the shop's delivery area.
If the time is tight, Floom and ProFlowers can still deliver same-day, but a named shop's own bouquet is the safer way to know whose work will arrive.

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 New York, 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 storefronts in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. 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
Shops with near-perfect scores or thin independent signals got a hand check against other review sites, business records and public footprint. Five were held back: two records could not be confirmed, one appears closed, one sells to the trade only, and one has no delivery. After our Petal Score checks, thirteen more of the 79 are off the page: two did not meet our listing rules, nine are not shown yet while we finish checking their reviews, one has too few recent reviews to score, and one is off because its website no longer works.
What the Cards Rely On
First-hand Petal Republic coverage exists for eight of the 66 shops: Scotts Flowers NYC, Fox Fodder Flowers, PlantShed, Sahola Flowers and Flower Girl in Manhattan, Julia Testa, Rosehip Social and Stems Brooklyn in Brooklyn. The national services are scored 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 New York 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 New York time with a live count of who can still deliver today.
Google ratings, review counts and press read September 24 and 26, 2026. Band first, then score, then customer and delivery record; no shop pays to appear.

Latest Updates
- the page redesigned: bouquets to order for every occasion from up to eight New York shops and four national services, a live filter for what can still arrive today, and the people who worked on the page; Hui Flowers removed, since its website no longer works, and Bride & Blossom shown on the Weddings view only, since it does weddings and events alone.
- the page rebuilt around the Petal Score, 67 florists listed and sorted by band and score, two shops removed after our checks, nine more not shown while we finish checking them, and one with too few recent reviews to score.
- rebuilt as a guide to 79 florists across all five boroughs, chosen on Google reviews and press, with same-day cut-offs, prices and local bouquet picks for every occasion. Five shops held back after a review check.
- first built as a price board of the national services with a register of 40 local shops.
