How do I choose the best flower delivery service?

Whether you're sending a birthday bouquet, planning a last-minute surprise, or ordering flowers just because, choosing the right delivery service matters. In a city like Los Angeles, where options are endless, it helps to know what to look for before you place your order.

Here’s what to consider when choosing a florist or delivery service that actually delivers — on time, with care, and with no surprises.


Same-Day Delivery Cutoff Times

If you're ordering flowers last minute, timing is everything. Look for a service that offers same-day flower delivery, and check their cutoff time — most require orders before 2 PM and before 5 PM at Pink Clover.

At Pink Clover, we deliver same-day across Los Angeles when you place your order early enough. We’ll let you know the earliest available delivery window at checkout.


Delivery Area Coverage

Some flower websites serve the whole country, but they’ll just pass your order to someone local — and you might not know who’s making your bouquet. If your recipient is in LA, it’s better to order directly from a Los Angeles local florist who knows the area.

We deliver within a 35-mile radius from Downtown LA, including West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and more.


Photo Before Delivery

This is a key trust factor. Many people worry that the flowers delivered won’t look like what they ordered. At Pink Clover, we always send you a photo of the arrangement before it goes out. That way, you know exactly what your recipient will receive.

It’s one of the biggest things that sets us apart.


Real, Custom Work — Not Mass-Produced Boxes

Big floral chains often ship flowers in boxes, requiring the recipient to do the arranging. If you want a true experience — thoughtful design, wrapped or boxed with care, delivered by hand — look for a florist that does everything in-house.

Every bouquet from Pink Clover is designed by our florists, made fresh, and delivered by hand. No assembly required.


Local Reviews & Real Photos

Before choosing a delivery service, check their reviews — especially on Google Maps, not just on their own site. Look for photos, real customer comments, and signs that they’re a local business, not a marketplace.

You can also browse our Instagram or Pinterest to see real client work.


Final Thoughts

Choosing a flower delivery service isn’t just about convenience — it’s about trusting someone to represent your care and attention through flowers.

Whether you need something last minute or you're planning ahead, look for a florist that offers same-day delivery, real photos, custom design, and clear communication.

At Pink Clover, we’ve built our reputation on making sure you and your recipient always feel seen.
