There's this moment that happens at least three times a week. Someone calls us needing flowers delivered to Titusville, usually Parrish Medical Center, sometimes for a SpaceX launch celebration, occasionally for a wedding at that gorgeous spot overlooking the Indian River. And every single time, I think about how we got here.
My wife and I bought this flower shop back in 2006. Small coastal town, population maybe 7,000 when the tourists showed up. We thought we'd figured it all out. Scale down the flowers, scale up the gifts. Genius plan, right? Wrong. So wrong.
By winter 2007, we were taking in maybe $20 a day. Twenty dollars. Some days less. I'd sit there behind the counter watching tumbleweeds (okay, not literally, but you get it). But that phone, that dang phone wouldn't stop ringing. People wanting flowers sent everywhere except where we could actually deliver them.
One particular call sticks with me. This guy, probably mid-70s, voice shaking a bit. His wife was in the hospital three towns over. Fifty years married, he tells me, couldn't drive anymore, needed their anniversary flowers to arrive that day. Their tradition. We couldn't help him. Had to tell him to call someone else.
That night, my wife and I looked at each other across our dinner table (leftover pizza, if I'm being honest), and decided. What if we could help everyone? What if geography didn't matter? What if we became the connection between people who needed flowers sent and the absolute best florists who could deliver them?
Fast forward to now. We work with carefully chosen florists throughout Titusville. The ones who know that beach weddings need hardy stems that won't wilt in that coastal humidity. The ones who understand Kennedy Space Center employees work weird hours. The ones who've been delivering to the same Titusville families for generations.
Here's how this really works when you order flowers for Titusville delivery. First, your order hits Bonnie's desk. She's been with us for years, used to be a florist herself actually. She reads every single card message. Every one. Makes sure your "congrats on the launch" doesn't accidentally go to a funeral (yeah, that almost happened once).
Then Ayu takes over. Started with us years ago, knows more about flowers than I ever will. She matches your order with our trusted Titusville florist. Not randomly picking from a list, but actually thinking about who does the best roses, who's great with those tropical arrangements you Space Coast folks love, who can navigate downtown Titusville during a launch when traffic's insane.
Phoebe, working remotely from Vancouver (time zones are fun), handles any special requests. Need delivery to one of those gated communities off Garden Street? She's coordinating that. Want to make sure flowers arrive before the Thunderbirds air show? She's on it.
We tell you straight up, there's a $14.95 service fee. That pays for Bonnie, Ayu, Phoebe, and keeping this whole operation running. No hidden charges, no surprise fees at checkout. If we can't deliver your order (super rare, but honesty matters), you get every penny back. Full refund, no drama.
Living near the Space Coast means understanding timing. Launch days change. Weather delays happen. Your celebration might shift from Tuesday to Friday with six hours notice. We get it.
Our Titusville florists keep extra inventory during launch windows. They know Lockheed Martin shifts run 24/7. They understand that when a scrub happens, your "congrats on the launch" flowers might need to become "better luck next time" flowers. Real talk, that flexibility matters here.
Same day delivery? Order by 1pm Eastern on weekdays, 10am Saturdays. But here's something we do that others don't. During launches or special events at the Cape, we coordinate with our florists about the crazy traffic. If A1A is backed up from here to Cocoa Beach, they know the back routes through Titusville. Your flowers still get there.
About substitutions (because someone should be straight with you). Sometimes that exact purple orchid isn't available. Florida weather does things to flower shipments. But we promise, and this is right in our terms, substitutions are always equal or greater value. Roses are never substituted. Ever. If you ordered roses for your wife, she's getting roses.
There was this one Mother's Day, back when we had the shop. Absolute chaos. This young guy runs in, complete panic mode. Forgot Mother's Day, mom's expecting him for lunch in two hours with flowers. The look on his face, I'll never forget it. Pure terror.
We made it happen. Nothing fancy, but we made it happen. That relief washing over him? That's what this is really about. Whether you're sending flowers to Miracle City IGA where your mom works, or to someone at Sea Aire Mobile Home Park, or surprising your kid at Astronaut High after their big game. It's about coming through when it matters.
Dennis handles the business side now (thank goodness, because spreadsheets make my brain hurt). Dan mentors us through the crazy seasons. Small team, but we've been doing this since 2007. Over 15,000 florist partners nationwide now, but your Titusville order still gets personal attention.
Look, you could go with one of those massive companies where you're order number 47,293. Or you could order from us. Real people who actually care if your flowers make it to that beach house on Riveredge Drive looking perfect. Your choice, but I think we both know what makes sense here
