Atlanta keeps us busy. Like, genuinely busy. Orders come through for Buckhead condos, Midtown offices, homes out in Decatur, apartments near Georgia Tech. It is one of those cities where the reasons people send flowers seem endless, and the stories behind them always get me.
Last month, Marcus from Ohio called needing anniversary roses delivered to his wife in Vinings. They had met at a conference downtown years ago, he told us, and every year he sends flowers to mark it. Then there was Diane from California, her best friend had just had a baby in Sandy Springs, and she wanted something bright, cheerful, something that said congratulations without being over the top. And just last week, a gentleman named Robert called from right here in North Carolina, his mother had passed, and he needed sympathy flowers for a service in Decatur. His voice was shaky, and Bonnie spent a good fifteen minutes with him just talking it through.
These are the calls that remind us why we do this.
If you need flowers delivered to Atlanta today, here is how it works. Orders placed before 1PM Monday to Friday, or before 10AM on Saturday, go out same day. That cutoff exists for a reason. Our local florist partners in and around Atlanta need time to hand select the stems, arrange them properly, and get them delivered while everything is still fresh. Rushing that process helps nobody.
Fresh flowers matter because they last longer and they look better when the recipient opens the door. Simple as that. We are not shipping boxes from a warehouse three states away. A real florist, someone in the Atlanta area, is putting your arrangement together and delivering it themselves. That is the difference.

I bought a struggling flower shop way back in 2007. It was a tiny place in a coastal town, and I knew absolutely nothing about flowers. My wife and I thought we could make it work with gifts and organic products, but the winters were brutal. Some days we had maybe $20 in the register. What we did have, constantly, was a ringing phone. People calling to send flowers to other places, other towns, and we kept turning them away.
Then one afternoon, sitting in that quiet shop, the thought hit us. What if we took the order, called a florist in the town the customer wanted to send to, and had them deliver it? That was the beginning.
Our first partner was a florist named Bev. I drove out to meet her with my 12 month old daughter in tow, and within minutes of walking in, the baby had knocked over and shattered something on a gift stand. I was mortified, sweating, ready to leave. But Bev just laughed, picked up my daughter, and we talked it through. She became our first florist partner, and that model, connecting customers with real local florists, is exactly what we still do today.
We are an order gatherer, I am not going to hide that. But we are a tiny team operating from a small office in North Carolina. Dennis and Dan help run things. Ayu and Bonnie manage orders and customer service. Phoebe works remotely from Vancouver. My wife is still very much involved. We are not a corporate call center. We are a handful of people who figured something out almost two decades ago and have been refining it ever since. If you want the full story, and it is a long one, you can read it here.

Birthdays are the big one for Atlanta, probably because the city has so many people spread across so many neighborhoods and it is hard to get flowers there yourself when you live somewhere else. Sympathy arrangements come through regularly too, people wanting to express something when words feel inadequate. Anniversaries, new babies, congratulations on a promotion or a new home. Each occasion carries weight, and the flowers need to match that.
Pick your arrangement, choose your delivery date, and we handle the rest. A local florist in Atlanta receives your order, prepares it fresh, and delivers it directly. If you have questions or want to talk through options, call us. Bonnie or someone on the team will answer and actually help you. That is how we have always done it.
