The best flower shops in NYC

This Williamsburg shop is a green oasis touting many species of plants and succulents displayed in antique pots and ’70s-inspired vases. However, Rosehip’s blooms and floral arrangements are the brand’s bread and butter. Seasonal bouquets start at $55 and can go up to $220 for a tall and lush “Grand Gesture” design.

This flower shop in the heart of the Flower District has many blooms to choose from at affordable prices. Some of the best sellers start at just $50, while some of the more expensive bouquets are still on the cheaper side at $70. This shop has different kinds of flowers for all different types of occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and dates in NYC.

Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria has much to offer if you’re searching for the perfect gift for someone special. If you need to impress your boo, definitely wander inside this flower shop on the bustling street that creates custom arrangements for preorder and delivery. You can also build your own bespoke bouquet inside the store. Toward the window, you’ll find various small plants and succulents for sale including lucky bamboo housed in a panda vase.

Some may remember Stems Brooklyn as the flower shop–cum-bar that would pour just as many shots of bourbon for your belly as water slugs for potted plants. However, the floral portion of the hybrid business has since moved on from that concept. Now, you can shop for beautiful floral arrangements ranging from Wildflower Bud Vases ($100) to hand-tied bouquets ($50) that are sold directly connected to a yoga studio called Juniper in Prospect Heights.

Banchet Flowers is known for orchids, both cuttings and plants—especially the rare and unusual kinds. All its bouquets include orchids (unless a client requests otherwise). While simple bunches are available, owner Banchet Jaigla specializes in contemporary arrangements using flowers sourced from as far afield as Asia, Europe, and South America ($175–$1,925). Along with the blossoms themselves, you can take home imported vases, candles and other home decor goods, all chosen with an eye to unique or modern design.

This midtown studio is known for breathtaking custom wedding arrangements to go along with your bridal shop buys, but it also has plenty of options for couples who haven’t put a ring on it yet. Choose from categories like romance, vibrant, modern, classic, unique and plants. Or just roll the dice with a designer’s choice ($100–$1,000), or chat one-on-one with a florist to find a custom option that is perfect for you.

This stunning Tribeca boutique offers seasonal floral bouquets and arrangements. Delivery ranges from $15 to $50. If you have a long-distance lover, Élan also delivers to parts of Brooklyn and other parts of the city.

A pocket full of posies won’t cost you an arm and a leg at this quaint Upper West Side shop. Signature floral bunches are displayed on a bouquet wall in organized rows. If you really want to woo someone, plan in advance to take one of the after-hours classes by appointment and surprise your bae with a handmade arrangement.

Owner Denise Porcaro got her start in the floral business by arranging blooms at The Park, the restaurant where she worked while in film school. She went on to amass a client list that includes Levi’s, the Gramercy Park Hotel and Zac Posen and eventually opened a shop inside the Earnest Sewn store. Now, Porcaro has branched out on her own with this rustic stand-alone retail space, featuring white painted-brick walls that allow seasonal plants. A bevy of in-house items, including handmade shea butter soaps, terrariums, handmade denim aprons and canvas tote bags, are artfully arranged on worn wood tables and shelves.
