Whether you’re ordering for a few blocks down 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. 

Where they deliver: Delivery all over NYC? You bet. And if you just so happen to need a last-minute miracle, Ode à la Rose also offers same-day delivery.

2. The Bouqs Co

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 great way to express your never-dying love.

Where they deliver: Along with standard delivery, there's same-day delivery all over NYC when you get your order in before noon. Score. 

Why we like them: With irresistible names like Vanilla Cake and Butter Pecan how could you not want to get your hands on one of these trendy, beautifully handcrafted bouquets? 

What’s the price point: Arrangements start from $54 without a subscription, and from $38 for subscribers.
