Our national directory of flower shops and florists make sending flowers to anyone across the street or across the country simple and easy to do.  All you need to do is to find a local flower shop and florist in the city or town you would like the flowers delivered to.  If no florist exists there, we will list flower shops and florists in other cities and towns that are near or close by.  Besides saving money by not having to pay middlemen's fees and charges when you order and buy direct from a local florist, you talk directly to the people who will actually make and deliver your order.  Because of this, you will know exactly what is available during the current season and you will know exactly what will be sent.

Locate-A-Flower-Shop.com® lists FTD and Teleflora flower shops and retail stores.  We can assist you in finding the florist shop that meets or exceeds your expectations.  If you want to send flowers, roses, plants, orchids, fruit baskets, gifts, candy, balloons or silk arrangements, local flower shops have the experience to help you make the proper flower selection.

Flowers convey unique thoughts and feelings words cannot.  From a wedding, anniversary or birthday gift to a loved one's memorial or funeral, local floral shops can help you say it with flowers.

If you place your order early with the florist, you can be assured of same day delivery.  Enter your order online through the flower shop's Internet web site or if you want some assistance, use the toll free telephone number of the floral shop.  For those florist shops in Worcester, MA not having a toll free telephone number, a local telephone number along with their area code is listed.

Ordering Advice:
Floral designers are very creative individuals.  Rather than specifying the precise location of every flower in the arrangement, tell them the overall "look" you want (e.g., round arrangement, loose flowers in a vase, etc.) and let them use their creativity to do something spectacular for you!
While some florists will take an order to be delivered in the A.M. or P.M., it is usually impossible to have it delivered at a particular time of the day (i.e., 2:00 P.M.).  Because of traffic, pending funerals, weather and many other things, it very difficult to predict where the delivery van will be from one minute to the next.  If the delivery is for someone at a place of employment, give the florist the time the person will be there at work.
