  • Stunning Seasonal Blooms

    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.

    Named by Secret DC 2026, Washingtonian 2023.

    Its same-day terms: by 1pm Monday to Friday, noon Saturday.

    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.

    Its same-day terms: by 11am Monday to Saturday.

    Typical price$110+ delivery

    Same-day · by 11am Monday to Saturday

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Chevy Chase Florist is in Chevy Chase, Maryland, just outside Washington, DC, and the shop says it has been around for over 25 years. Christine Topacio is the owner and designer. In 2016 she met David Ehrhart, who offered her the chance to work at the shop and learn from his team. The shop stocks a daily flower menu, custom arrangements, corsages and boutonnieres, orchids and plants, home decor and gift sets, sympathy and funeral flowers, and weddings and events. Listed arrangements are typically about $110, from $45 to $195, with pieces such as Rose Trio at $45 and Somerset at $195. Delivery reaches Washington, DC and nearby Maryland and Virginia areas. Same-day delivery is available online until 11am Monday through Saturday, with later orders accepted by phone, and no delivery fee is published, so the cost shows at checkout.

    Typical price$125+ delivery

    Same-day · by 11am, Monday to Friday

    Andrew’s TakeClose

    Family-run since 1942, York Flowers handles everyday bouquets, plants, sympathy pieces, corsages, and a standing floral subscription, and it publishes a long list of local hospitals it delivers to, from MedStar Georgetown to Sibley Memorial. Its October 2026 list prices typically sit around $125, from $50 to $325, with the 'A touch of color' at $50 and the 'My Inspiration Bouquet' at $325. It appeared in Washingtonian's May 2023 round-up of DC-area florists with Mother's Day offerings. Same-day orders close at 11am Monday through Friday, and Saturday delivery books by 4 PM on Friday. Delivery fees run $16.50 to $29.95 by zone, with rush service adding $10. If you want a recurring bouquet to a Friendship Heights office or a get-well piece to the medical centers nearby, this is a good call.

    Roots and Blooms Flower Shop

    Local shopCapitol Hill

    Seasonal bouquets, sympathy, orchids and events

    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.

    Typical price$145+ delivery

    Same-day · before noon

    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.

    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.

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

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 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.
