Sending flowers is a lovely gesture to mark any occasion or milestone when you can’t be there in person to place them in the hands of a loved one. And this year, with many Thanksgiving and holiday plans being replaced by virtual celebrations, having flowers (or a delicious pie) arrive at the homes of friends and family is the next best thing to showing up at the front door with a bouquet in hand.

Fresh flowers add a burst of color to any holiday table, and in the fall and winter, remind us of a warmer days spent outside. But like any good gift (or gift-giver, for that matter) there’s individual taste to take into account. Thankfully, there are plenty of online flowers delivery services to accommodate preferences of style plus practical considerations, like same- or next-day delivery to ensure your arrangement arrives on time. Keep in mind, though, that Thanksgiving is fast approaching and delivery dates are filling up. So be sure to double-check availability—depending on the bouquet and its destination, “same-day” delivery may not be on the day of your choosing.
From household name companies that have been delivering flowers for decades to small, boutique brands, here are some of the best flower delivery services for all your gifting needs this season. A bouquet from any one of them is sure to brighten holiday tables near and far.
UrbanStems
UrbanStems’ stunning chic and modern bouquets are works of pure artistry. A range of high-end, luxurious flowers are included in each arrangement, and several come in vases with handcrafted look. UrbanStems offer same-day delivery in select cities, and availability of designs is contingent upon the recipient’s zip code. If you’re sending flowers to a same-day delivery location, the latest order can be made is on November 24 before 2 PM (delivery location local time). Here’s where you can pre-order to make sure your flowers arrive on time.
1-800-Flowers
This mega online flower delivery service’s offerings have come a long way from a repertoire of rather generic arrangements to one that includes several bouquets with a boutique-y look. The popular Harvest Glow Bouquet is one of them, which comes in three sizes and makes a great centerpiece or focal point for an entryway console. Overall, 1-800-Flowers’ arrangements lean toward traditional and you can count on a wide selection of inexpensive and midrange options. The retailer also does a good job tailoring bouquets to themes, like seasons and holidays, which suits someone who likes to have fun with holiday decorating.
Food52
Not technically a flower delivery service, Food52 works with California-based Creekside Farms to sell a number of artisan wreaths and garlands that are particularly lovely during the holidays. We love this one, handcrafted with dried oranges, lemon slices and willow eucalyptus, but the understated selection has something for everyone. Wreaths will ship within 6 business days, so shoppers should take that into account when ordering.
The Bouqs Co.
The Bouqs Co.’s charming creations are simple and elegant, with a fresh farm-to-vase look. Arrangements have whimsical names, such as “Holiday Sweater” and “Wild About U,” and for an extra $10 your floral gift can arrive in a mason jar or country-chic signature vase. Same- and next-day delivery is available for select locations across the country, but as with other online delivery services, arrangements and inventory is zip-code dependent. As an alternate option, The Bouqs Co. has a monthly flower subscription service, which makes a nice holiday gift.
FTD
This Illinois-based online flower delivery service, which stands for Florists' Transworld Delivery, is more than a century old. The company partners with a vast roster of local florists across the country, which is how flowers arrive fresh and on time. Same-day delivery is available for select arrangements, and with such a wide selection you’re bound to find bouquets to suit all tastes. Flowers come in everything from straw baskets to ceramic pumpkins, or you can opt for fresh-cut stems in a simple glass vase. Also, check out the centerpieces with candles, which look particularly cozy on any Thanksgiving table.
ProFlowers
ProFlowers is an FTD company, and it offers similar bouquets for same-day Thanksgiving delivery, plus a few additional arrangements with a higher-end look that cost slightly more. We love this adorable Harvest Skies Plant Garden, with jewel-toned chrysanthemum and calla lily tucked inside a rustic wooden box planter. Bonus that it’ll last longer than a vase of cut flowers.
Teleflora
Teleflora is based in Los Angeles with more than 80 years of experience delivering flowers nationwide. It offers a nice selection of arrangements for reasonable prices, and its website has a lot of handy filters, too, to search specific flowers and colors if the person you’re sending to has a favorite. Same-day delivery is available for select arrangements. For an additional fee, flowers can be accompanied by extras like chocolate, a stuffed animal and mylar balloons.
From You Flowers
Arrangements by From You Flowers are fairly traditional, with some housed in more interesting vases, like the Autumn Birch Bouquet, with orange alstroemeria and yellow and burgundy mums. Great prices and sales are a big plus, and you can add on extras like chocolate treats or a teddy bear for an additional fee. Orders places before 3pm in the time zone where they’re being sent have guaranteed same-day delivery.
H.Bloom
Many of H.Bloom’s elegantly arranged, best-selling flowers are low and tight, but it also has gathered bouquets like this Autumn Harvest Bundle, with pink and purple mums and sunflowers. It arrives just as shown, wrapped in brown paper tied with string as if they were bought fresh at a farmers’ market. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed by 11am in the time zone where they’re being sent. But keep in mind that not all of bouquets are available in all locations.
Farmgirl Flowers
We love everything about Farmgirl Flowers. Its bouquets are simply gorgeous, executed with exceptional artistry with farm-fresh cuts of high-end flowers, and arrangements have pithy names like “Yes We Cran” and “Candied Yams” which are on point for the Thanksgiving holiday. Farmgirl’s excellent customer service is another major plus. But if you want one of the retailer’s pretty, colorful gifts to arrive on time, don’t delay. Farmgirl Flowers offers same-day delivery in select cities, but doesn’t deliver on Thanksgiving Day, and Sunday, November 22 is a hard deadline to place an order if you want flowers to arrive on time in most destinations. If you have questions and want to confirm, you can email or call at 855-202-3817.
Floom
Floom partners with high-end florists in 12 cities and states from coast to coast for arrangements that are stunning if pricey. You can search by zip code for which bouquets are available on the dates you want them delivered. In Floom’s main markets—New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston—customers will be able to place orders for same-day delivery up until the day before Thanksgiving. Across the rest of the US for locations Floom covers, orders must be placed by Sunday, November 22, for delivery before or on Thanksgiving.
