The best online stores for flower delivery in NYC

Whether you’re ordering for up the road or outside of NYC, these guys have got you covered. Founded by Louis Brunet and Olivier Plusquellec in 2011, the very French Ode à la Rose delivers some seriously lovely-looking bouquets for Valentine's Day, both within NYC and beyond. The website is ordered by occasion, color, and price, so you’ll certainly find something for whatever you’re looking for. And the best part? They all come hand-tied in Ode à la Rose’s signature little box. Perfect. 

More hip and trendy than some of the others on this list, UrbanStems is perfect to send to your partner or bestie this Valentine's Day. These bouquets are Instagrammable heaven, expertly put together to be bang on trend, and named things like ‘The Finesse’ or ‘The Tarot’. Whichever season you’re looking to buy in, there’s something for you on UrbanStems – and they offer overnight shopping too, so your flowers arrive the very next day. 

Forget those same old flowers that so many florists use to pad-out bouquets. You won’t find any carnations of baby’s breath here. Floom sources high-end flowers from local New York florists, offering gorgeous traditional-style bouquets of peonies, tulips, and more. There’s a huge array of delivery options here, so this is the place to shop if you want plenty of (beautiful) choice.

These eco-friendly flower-sellers ensure that all their blooms come directly from farms, which means that your flowers will arrive as fresh as possible. Also, the fact that they remove the middleman means that those savings are passed to you. So that’s pretty neat, right? Oh and if you're after something a little more long-lasting, opt for delivery of one of the ‘dried collection’ options and your blooms will last for up to a year, a nice alternative for Valentine's Day. Express your never-dying love.

From You Flowers specializes in providing top-value flowers with speedy delivery, so while the bouquets here might not be quite as OTT as some of the rest on this list, you can rest assured you’re getting plenty of bang for your buck.

There's no question about what this online flower-seller is all about. Roses, only. Got it? Good. Perfect for Valentine's Day. This store prides itself on roses of varied colors and varieties, which you can buy in gift boxes of six to 100.

The obvious option is to go down the cut stems route where special occasions are concerned. (And, hey, The Sill is doing a lovely DIY bouquet kit of its own).
