Lee's Flower and Card Shop
Local shopU Street
Everyday and sympathy flowers, weddings and events since 1945
Typical price$95+ delivery
Same-day · by 1pm Monday to Friday, noon Saturday
Andrew’s TakeClose
On U Street since the 1940s, Lee's Flower and Card Shop pairs traditional and contemporary arrangements with cards, which makes it a natural call for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, and sympathy pieces. Listed arrangements are typically about $95, from $65 to $195, at October 2026 prices, with named bouquets like 'Clear Skies Bouquet' at $95 and 'Enchanting Dozen' at $195. The shop was founded in 1945 by William and Winnifred Lee on what was then Black Broadway. WUSA9 has called it DC's oldest Black-owned flower shop. Same-day delivery is available by 1pm Monday to Friday and by noon Saturday; delivery within DC is a flat $19.95, and it reaches neighboring Maryland and Virginia. Many listed designs are catalog pieces shared with other florists, so expect the shop's own interpretation. A second shop, Lee's 2, sits inside Union Station. It appears in Secret DC's February 2026 round-up of flower shops for Valentine's Day and in Washingtonian's May 2023 round-up of DC-area florists with Mother's Day offerings.

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.
Briana Yablonski ordered the Felice bouquet in October 2026. It was delivered by FedEx within the window and matched the listing exactly, but arrived with wilting and brown petals. Ode à la Rose arranges by hand in its own ateliers and couriers same-day bouquets in six cities, with French-style, stem-count-sized designs that read as special-occasion pieces. In DC its own couriers deliver same-day Monday to Friday on orders placed by 3pm, between 11am and 7pm, from its Silver Spring atelier; there is no weekend same-day delivery. It suits romantic and anniversary sending where the design should feel chosen, not assembled.

Blooms Collective
Local shopDupont Circle
Bouquets, gifts and workshops
Typical price$107.50+ delivery
Same-day · by 11am Monday to Saturday
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a last-minute bouquet, a subscription or a gift alongside flowers, Blooms Collective in Dupont Circle is a good call. The shop was started by two friends: Lauren, who came from veterinary work, and Katie, who left a corporate career during COVID. They stock stems from local farms and describe a hands-on, no-two-alike approach. It sells hand-tied bouquets, vase arrangements, three subscription tiers, wedding and event consultations, and a gift shop of candles, skincare and homewares, along with seasonal wreath workshops. Listed arrangements ran about $108 in October 2026, from $85 to $250. The Marvelous is $130 and The Statement is $250. Order by 11am Monday through Saturday for same-day delivery, which reaches named neighborhoods from Dupont Circle and Logan Circle to Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Arlington and Bethesda. Delivery costs $18 inside DC and $22 to Maryland and Virginia for orders up to $500, and 10 percent of orders over $500.

Teleflora works through a network of member florists, each filling an order locally, with the look running to full, classic arrangements suited to birthdays and sympathy.

Roots and Blooms Flower Shop

Typical price$74.50+ delivery
Same-day · by phone
Andrew’s TakeClose
Capitol Hill's call for loose, garden-y bouquets, Roots and Blooms arranges with movement and texture: natural, flowy, a little undone, and intentionally imperfect each time. Its October 2026 list prices typically sit around $74.50, from $52.50 to $110.50, which keeps everyday bouquets within reach. The named 'Til forever - large blooming rose vase' goes for $88.50, while 'Amethyst bouquet' sits at the top of the everyday range at $110.50. The shop opened this storefront in March 2024 after earlier operating from Brightwood Park, and it works directly with funeral homes for sympathy pieces. It sources flowers locally and from South America, with gift items made in the US. Same-day delivery is available by phone before 11am, and the shop serves the DC area plus some parts of Virginia and Maryland. Secret DC's February 2026 round-up of flower shops for Valentine's Day includes it.

House of Flowers
Local shopDowntown
Occasion flowers, plants, chocolates, weddings and sympathy

Same-day · by noon, Monday to Friday
Andrew’s TakeClose
A family-run Downtown storefront, House of Flowers pairs fresh arrangements with a chocolate line, which makes it an easy one-call gift when you want flowers and chocolate in one order. Its catalog runs from classic red roses and hydrangea up to a 100-rose bouquet, typically about $130 and ranging from $95 to $995 at its October 2026 list prices. The named 'Eternal Love 1DZ Premium Red Roses' goes for $135, and the 'Luxury Premium Bouquet' runs $295. Many of its listed designs are catalog designs shared with other florists, though, so the finished arrangement is the shop's own interpretation. It offers same-day delivery by noon Monday to Friday. It also hands orders to a nationwide florist network, and it asks for orders at least one day ahead of major holidays, when the shop is closed. Secret DC's February 2026 round-up of flower shops for Valentine's Day includes it.

Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
Founded in 1992 and borrowing its name from Little Shop of Horrors, this women-owned Adams Morgan storefront leans into whimsy: luxury arrangements, handmade Japanese vases, plants, and an eco-conscious push toward reusable vessels, which suits birthdays, events, and gifts with a bit of theater. Its October 2026 list prices typically sit around $150, from $85 to $500, with the limited-run 'Classic Blue Hydrangea' at $100, the 'Dry & Fresh Bouquet' at $250, and the 'Grand' arrangement at the top of the range. The shop delivers to local hospitals such as GW and Sibley Memorial and to funeral homes including Joseph Gawler's Sons, and it doubles as a party and pop-up venue. Many of its listed designs are catalog designs shared with other florists, so expect the shop's own interpretation. It offers same-day delivery but publishes no cut-off time, so call first. Secret DC's February 2026 round-up of flower shops for Valentine's Day includes it.

Andrew’s TakeClose
Local, seasonal flowers are the whole point at Little Acre Flowers, the studio to choose when you want stems grown in Maryland and Virginia rather than flown in. It began in 2014, when founder Tobie Ellen Whitman assembled the first all-local arrangements during a Valentine's Day snowstorm with friends. Today owner and lead designer Amber Flack runs the U Street corridor studio. It sells daily hand-tied bouquets and a monthly Flower of the Month Club, plus weddings, corporate work and celebrations of life. Listed arrangements typically about $145 in October 2026, from $75 to $225, with the Daily Hand-Tied Local Flower Bouquet at $110. Order before noon for same-day delivery, which runs weekdays from 12 to 5pm and Saturdays from 11am to 4pm across the DMV and inside the Beltway. It's a studio, not a walk-in shop: pickup is by appointment, so order online. Washingtonian's May 2023 round-up of DC-area florists with Mother's Day offerings and Secret DC's February 2026 Valentine's Day flower-shop round-up both named it.
Named by Secret DC 2026, Washingtonian 2023.

Andrew’s TakeClose
European design with a clean, modern hand has been the lane at Ultra Violet Flowers since 2000, when Fabio Ripoli opened the Georgetown shop. The site describes the style as modern and minimalist with classic elegance, and the real focus is weekly corporate orders, private events and weddings, with gift bouquets and plants sold online. It's one to pick for a polished, contemporary look rather than loose garden style. Listed gift bouquets are typically about $195 in their default (medium) size. Under the Covers pairs orchids, ranunculus and anemone at $200, and the Designer's Choice arrangement runs from $100 to $500. Its site still posts a 1pm same-day cut-off as its posted summer cut-off, and it serves the Washington, DC metro area. One thing to know: it no longer delivers to Georgetown University. No delivery fee is published.
Its same-day terms: by 1pm (its posted summer cut-off).

Le Printemps
Local shopWest End
Occasion bouquets, sympathy, weddings and events since 1983
Typical price$175+ delivery
Same-day · before 11am
Andrew’s TakeClose
A woman-owned family business since 1983, Le Printemps works from the same 23rd Street address in the West End. Its designer's client list, by the shop's own account, has included ambassadors, mayors, governors, members of congress, supreme court justices, former first ladies and sitting presidents, and its work has decorated the White House and luxury hotels. For a wedding, a corporate event or a grand gesture, this shop fits the bill. The catalogue leans to roses, hydrangeas, orchids and calla lilies, tagged traditional, modern or grand, and weddings run from a two-set microwedding to a multi-day event. Listed prices in October 2026 run about $175, from $150 to $550. 'Love of my life' tops the range at $550, and 'Designer's Choice' is $200. Same-day orders need to be in before 11:00 AM. Many listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

Volanni
Local shopCapitol Hill
Arrangements, plants, gift baskets and events
Typical price$175+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a modern, sculptural piece rather than a conventional bouquet, Volanni is a studio worth knowing. There is no walk-in storefront, so orders go through the website, by phone or by email. The catalogue is tagged modern, traditional and grand, with editorial names like 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Bauhaus', and the shop also runs a weekly office lobby design service and weddings with what it calls a polished, simplistic modern look. Listed prices in October 2026 typically about $175, from $45 to $750, with 'Peachy Keen' at $85 and 'Le Hôtel Ritz Paris' at $120, and 'Loren' at $750 the top of the range. Delivery is next-day only. Many listed designs are catalogue designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.

Cut-offs as each shop and service publishes them, in DC time, read between September 17 and October 27, 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 DC ZIP yet.
Straight Answers
These answers come from the Google reviews we read on October 23, 2026, and the shops' own published terms, checked October 27, 2026.
Which DC flower shops have the best reviews?
Park Florist carries a 5.0 from 990 Google reviews, and Chevy Chase Florist holds a 5.0 from 974, the two most-reviewed shops on the page. Lee's Flower and Card Shop has a 4.8 from 909, House of Flowers a 4.9 from 836, and Helen Olivia Flowers a 5.0 from 689. Lee's and Little Acre Flowers are named by both Secret DC and Washingtonian; House of Flowers, Roots and Blooms and Little Shop of Flowers appear in Secret DC's February 2026 list, and York Flowers and She Loves Me in Washingtonian's 2023 round-up.
Those counts and stars are Google's. The Petal Score is our assessment, 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 DC shop is Exceptional and five are Excellent: Lee's Flower and Card Shop, 8.6; She Loves Me, 8.3; Park Florist, 8.2; Blooms Collective, 8.1; and Chevy Chase Florist, 8.0. The highest Good score is 7.9, which three shops share.
Is it better to order from a local florist or online in DC?
For a same-day order after 1pm, a national service is the practical call: the latest local weekday cut-off is 1pm at Lee's Flower and Card Shop, while Ode à la Rose and From You Flowers take orders until 3pm, and on Sundays only Teleflora and FTD publish a same-day time. For everything else, a local shop gives you a florist who knows the neighbourhood and a bouquet made locally, and all 16 everyday shops do wedding or event work if you want a relationship beyond one order.
Which DC florists deliver same-day?
Fifteen of the 16 everyday shops offer same-day in some form. Lee's Flower and Card Shop takes orders until 1pm Monday to Friday and noon Saturday. House of Flowers and Little Acre Flowers cut off at noon or before on weekdays, and The Enchanted Florist is before noon on weekdays. Blooms Collective and Chevy Chase Florist cut off at 11am Monday to Saturday; York Flowers is 11am Monday to Friday, Helen Olivia Flowers is 11am weekdays and 10am Saturday, and Le Printemps is before 11am on weekdays. She Loves Me prints 12:30pm, but only Tuesday to Friday and with a $10 same-day fee. Roots and Blooms is by 11am, but by phone and it publishes no opening hours. Ultra Violet Flowers posts 1pm as its summer cut-off. Park Florist, Little Shop of Flowers and Flowers By Alexes take same-day orders without a published time, and Flowers By Alexes asks you to call to check availability. Volanni is next-day only.
On Saturdays the published live cut-offs are Lee's at noon, Blooms Collective and Chevy Chase Florist at 11am, and Helen Olivia at 10am. No DC shop publishes a Sunday same-day time. Among the national services, From You Flowers takes same-day orders until 3pm Monday to Saturday, Ode à la Rose until 3pm Monday to Friday, Teleflora until 2pm Monday to Friday and noon Saturday and Sunday, and FTD until 2pm weekdays and 1pm Saturday and Sunday. Ode delivers by its own couriers; the others work through local florists.
How much does a bouquet cost from a DC florist?
Typical prices run from about $75 at Roots and Blooms and Flowers By Alexes to about $195 at Ultra Violet Flowers. All 16 everyday shops publish enough prices to count, half sit between about $108 and $175, and two have a typical price of $75 or less. Those are medians of each shop's own listed arrangements, before delivery, read October 2026.
Lake Soleil lists three vessel sizes instead, at $105, $175 and $235. The Under $75 view shows local bouquets at $75 or less, at the shops' own prices.
Where should I order sympathy flowers in DC?
Fourteen of the 16 shops sell their own sympathy or funeral arrangements, so you can order directly from a florist who makes the piece. The Sympathy view opens with bouquets from up to eight shops, at their own prices. If you need a sympathy bouquet on a Sunday, when no DC shop publishes a same-day time, Teleflora and FTD both take same-day orders through a local florist.

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 Washington, DC, 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 or studio in the District of Columbia or just outside it, in Maryland and Virginia, that deliver into the city. 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
We hand-checked four shops with near-perfect ratings or thin signals against other review sites and their own sites, and all four passed; two shops the press names are not listed because they sell plants rather than cut flowers. The three shops our editors added in September now face the same checks as every other shop, and two of them are listed. We added six shops from our own DC guides to the check, four of them now listed, including shops just outside the District in Maryland and Virginia. After our Petal Score checks, five of the 22 are off the page: two did not meet our listing rules, and three are not listed after a closer read of their recent reviews.
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 DC 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 DC 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.
