Flower Delivery Matthews NC: Same Day

Flowers to Matthews NC Through Local Florists Who Know The Area

Here's how this works. We're not in Matthews ourselves, we're in a different part of North Carolina, but we partner with florists who are actually there. You place an order through us, we send it immediately to our Matthews florist partner, they make the arrangement fresh that day, and they deliver it to wherever it needs to go in Matthews.

Same day delivery happens if you order by 1PM Monday through Friday, or 10AM on Saturday. Those cutoff times exist because the florist needs time to create the arrangement properly (not grab some pre-made thing off a shelf) and then drive it across Matthews to deliver it. Miss those times and it goes next business day, simple as that.

How We Ended Up Doing Flower Delivery This Way

This model nearly didn't happen, honestly. Years back we had a small shop (different country, but same flower industry), and we kept getting phone calls from people wanting to send flowers to other towns. We'd say sorry, you need to call a florist in that town, we can't help. This went on for months while we were barely making any money. I'm talking $20 in the till some days, it was grim.

Then one afternoon, after turning away probably the 20th call that day for flowers to somewhere else, my wife and I looked at each other with this thought: what if we took the order here, then called a florist in that town and asked them to make and deliver it? What if?

I drove to meet the first florist (her name was Bev) to pitch this idea. My baby daughter came with me, she was about 12 months old. Within minutes of walking in, she pulled something off a gift stand and smashed it into what felt like 1000 pieces all over the floor. I was mortified, sweating, thinking I should just leave. But Bev was amazing about it, she had a granddaughter the same age, she picked up my daughter while I cleaned up, and then she listened to my pitch.

The pitch was simple. We'd build Bev a website, put our phone number on it, send her all the orders we got for her town, and charge her nothing. All we asked was she throw in a few extra flowers to cover our commission. She said yes immediately. That was 2007.

We did it for one town, then five, then fifty. By 2013 we'd moved everything to working with partners in America, connected with one of the largest flower companies here, and suddenly we had access to over 15,000 florists nationwide. Including the ones in Matthews.

The reason I'm telling you this is so you know we're not some faceless corporation. We're Dennis, Dan, me (Andrew), my wife, plus three staff (Bonnie, Ayu, and Phoebe). Small team trying to connect people who need flowers in places like Matthews with local florists who can actually deliver them well.

The People Who Call Us About Matthews Flower Delivery

Couple weeks ago Bonnie took a call from someone named Jennifer in Michigan. Her daughter had just moved to Matthews for a new job, first week there, and Jennifer wanted to send flowers to her daughter's new apartment as a surprise. Welcome to Matthews kind of thing. We got a bright cheerful arrangement delivered that afternoon, Jennifer called back the next day to say her daughter loved it.

Then there was Robert from Matthews itself, calling about anniversary flowers for his wife. He wanted them delivered to her office near downtown Matthews, wanted roses obviously, wanted it done by lunch. Phoebe got that order placed with our Matthews florist by 11AM, delivered by noon. These calls happen all day, different occasions, different stories, but same basic need: get flowers to someone in Matthews who matters to them.

What People Order For Flower Delivery Matthews NC

Birthday flowers are constant. Parents sending to kids, kids sending to parents, friends sending to friends. They want color, they want it to feel celebratory, they want it delivered same day because (let's be honest) they usually remember the day of or maybe the day before.

Sympathy flowers are the toughest calls. Someone's lost a family member, they're grieving, they're often not in Matthews themselves anymore, and they want to send something meaningful to the funeral home or to the family's house. These arrangements need to be appropriate, subdued usually, and our Matthews florists understand that instinctively.

Love and romance orders spike around Valentine's Day (obviously), but they happen year round. Anniversaries, apologies, just because. Roses are still the default for romance, and honestly, they work.

Get well flowers come in waves. Someone's in the hospital, someone's recovering at home from surgery, someone's going through a rough time health wise. These need to be uplifting, bright colors, something that makes the room feel less depressing.

Why Those Cutoff Times Matter For Same Day Delivery

The 1PM weekday and 10AM Saturday cutoffs are non-negotiable. Here's why. When you order flowers for delivery in Matthews, your order goes to a real florist with a real shop. They need to look at what you ordered, pull the flowers from their cold storage (keeping flowers at proper temperature matters for how long they last), cut the stems to the right length, arrange them, add filler and greenery, make sure it looks right, put it in their delivery vehicle, and then drive to wherever in Matthews it's going.

That takes time. If someone orders at 12:30PM, the florist can make it happen same day. If someone orders at 2PM, they can't, it goes next business day. It's not complicated, it's just reality.
