About Flower Delivery Services

Most florists offer a range of delivery services: standard curbside delivery, timed delivery windows, same-day delivery when ordered early, and special-event or bulk delivery for weddings and corporate functions. Orders placed online typically let you choose a delivery date, add a gift message, and leave specific delivery instructions (gate codes, preferred drop-off location, or recipient care notes). Floral menus often include seasonal bouquets, roses, mixed arrangements, corsages and boutonnieres, sympathy sprays, and potted plants.

Substitutions may occur if certain blooms are out of season or unavailable. Reliable florists will use flowers of equal or greater value and keep the overall design and color scheme consistent with your order. For important events or a specific flower request, it’s best to communicate preferences at the time of ordering so the florist can confirm availability or suggest alternatives.

Ordering and Timing Guidance

Cutoff times for same-day delivery vary by florist but commonly fall in the early afternoon (often between 1:00–3:00 PM). If you need same-day service, place your order as early as possible and select the same-day option at checkout. Orders placed after the cutoff will typically be scheduled for next-day delivery.

For holidays (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving period) and large events, order at least several days to weeks in advance — some popular dates require preorder placement weeks ahead. For hospital deliveries, allow extra time for proper processing by staff and verify any facility restrictions via the delivery notes during checkout. Weekends and evenings may have limited availability or additional delivery fees.

When arranging deliveries for events or venues, confirm access, parking, and preferred setup times with the florist. Large installations like wedding arches or multiple centerpieces usually require consultation and advance scheduling.

Flower Care Tips

  • Unwrap the arrangement and place it in a clean vase with fresh, room-temperature water as soon as possible.
  • Trim stems at a 45-degree angle under running water before placing them in the vase—this improves water uptake.
  • Remove any foliage below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth that shortens vase life.
  • Change the water every 1–2 days, recut the stems slightly, and add floral preservative if provided.
  • Keep arrangements away from direct sun, heat sources, drafts, and ripening fruit, which emits ethylene and can age blooms faster.
  • For potted plants, follow light and watering guidance included with the plant; overwatering is a common cause of decline.

Final Tips

Always include clear delivery instructions and a full recipient name when placing an order. If delivery timing is critical, ask the florist about delivery windows and confirmation or tracking options. For special requests (specific flowers or custom color palettes), contact a florist early to discuss options and to ensure your vision can be met. With a bit of planning and simple care, flowers from Columbus florists will brighten special moments and provide lasting enjoyment.
