How to Order and Timing Guidance

Ordering is usually done online through a florist's website or by placing an order in person. To reduce the chance of delivery delays, follow these steps: select the arrangement, choose the delivery date, provide the recipient address and any delivery instructions (such as gate codes or preferred drop-off locations), and complete payment. For same-day delivery, many florists request orders be placed by early afternoon; a typical cutoff is around 2:00 PM local time, though exact times vary by shop and day of week. Orders placed after the cutoff are usually delivered the next business day.

Weekends and holidays can fill up quickly, so place orders in advance for popular dates. For funerals or hospital deliveries, allow extra lead time to coordinate with facility policies and service times. For weddings and large events, reserve your florist weeks to months in advance and schedule delivery windows for setup teams.

What to Expect on Delivery

Most florists will attempt delivery and leave a note if the recipient is not available, or follow specific delivery instructions left by the sender. Signature requirements vary; if a signature is needed and no one is present, the florist may attempt to re-deliver or leave arrangements in a designated safe spot. In rare cases when a specific flower is unavailable, florists may substitute with an item of equal or greater value and will try to preserve the overall look and color palette of the arrangement.

Flower Care Tips

• Re-cut stems at a diagonal under running water before placing flowers in a clean vase.
• Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
• Use fresh, lukewarm water mixed with flower food if provided; change the water every two days.
• Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight, away from heating vents, and off of ripening fruit which emits ethylene gas that shortens flower life.
• For potted plants, follow specific care instructions for light and watering; allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings for many common houseplants.

With a little attention, most bouquets will stay fresh for a week or more. If you have concerns about a delivery or need special accommodations, contact the florist listed on your order confirmation; they can advise on timing, substitutions, and care instructions specific to the varieties in the arrangement.

Lake Peekskill residents enjoy a variety of delivery options to meet everyday needs and special occasions. Plan ahead for busy dates, follow basic care tips, and your flowers will brighten the recipient's day.
