THE SCARLET FLOWER

Flower delivery in Los Angeles from a real local florist

The Scarlet Flower is a real local florist in Los Angeles County, with pickup in Long Beach and delivery to homes and businesses across LA and Orange counties. You can order online anytime, pick the delivery date and time at checkout, and send fresh bouquets for birthdays, anniversaries, get-well wishes or an ordinary Tuesday. When you order on thescarletflower.com, you order direct from the florist who makes your bouquet.

We work with the freshest flowers sourced from the best flower growers we can find, and our flower shop prides itself on bouquets that look like the photos you chose them from.

Same-day flower delivery: order by 4:30 PM

Same-day delivery covers the ready-made arrangements in our online catalog. Order by 4:30 PM, Monday through Sunday, for delivery that day. Later orders can be scheduled for the next day or after.

At checkout, you choose the delivery date and time. If timing matters, say for a surprise at the office or a dinner at home, request a time frame in the special instructions box. Traffic in Los Angeles means we can't guarantee a delivery time, so if the flowers need to be there before an event starts, have them arrive the day before. The delivery fee is calculated from the address during checkout. You can also pick up your order at 443 E Broadway in Long Beach.

Local delivery available throughout Los Angeles

As a Los Angeles florist, we deliver to a long list of neighborhoods. Our flower delivery service reaches across Greater Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, West Hollywood, North Hollywood, West Toluca Lake, Los Feliz, West Adams and East Los Angeles, as well as Los Nietos and, over the county line in Orange County, Los Alamitos.

To check an address, look up its ZIP code in our delivery policy. Our local flower delivery covers every ZIP code listed there, across the Los Angeles area and Orange County. If you can't find yours, call us before you order. For fast delivery in Los Angeles' neighborhoods, keep the 4:30 PM cutoff in mind: order by then, and our local flower shop can deliver the same day.

What you see is what arrives

A common complaint about ordering flowers online is that the bouquet looks nothing like the picture. Each floral arrangement in our catalog has a set design, and we make it to look like its photo. If a stem isn't available that day, the florist making your bouquet substitutes within the same color palette, so the bouquet keeps the colors you chose.

We deliver the very best fresh flowers we can, and each bouquet is prepared to arrive fresh and looking its best. If something is wrong with your flowers on arrival, email a photo to info@thescarletflower.com within 12 hours of delivery, and we'll look into it.

If the recipient isn't home

If no one is home when we deliver the flowers, we contact you by phone. We may leave the bouquet with a neighbor or in a safe place, such as a shaded area on the front porch. Otherwise, we may leave a message so a new delivery time can be arranged. Since we call you, give a phone number at checkout that you'll answer on the day.

The special instructions box can head off many problems. Useful notes include a gate or building code, a suite or unit number, a shady spot where the flowers can wait, or a neighbor who is happy to take them. For an office delivery, add the recipient's floor or department and the time the building closes.

Flowers for every occasion

Our wide online selection covers the moments people send flowers for most:

• Birthday flowers in bright mixes or classic roses
• Get well flowers for someone recovering at home
• Funeral arrangements and sympathy flowers to show a grieving family you're thinking of them
• Mother's Day flowers and anniversary bouquets

We also have everyday flowers if you just want to brighten a kitchen table or thank a coworker. Instead of flowers like your everyday dozen roses, our rose bouquets come in sizes from 9 roses to 300 stems. You'll also find types of flowers like tulips, hydrangeas, carnations and daisies, plus rarer, hard to find seasonal flowers such as ranunculus, lisianthus and delphinium. With a wide selection of floral designs, including a classic rose bouquet or a lush peony flower arrangement, it's easy to find the flowers that you want.

Plan ahead for the big days—Valentine's Day or Christmas—in Los Angeles, when demand peaks. Ordering a few days early gives you the widest choice, since popular designs can sell out; just set the holiday as your delivery date. On the day itself, a requested time frame is harder to meet, so if the flowers must be there before a dinner or party, schedule them for the day before. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice, so check the address and date before you pay.

Keeping fresh flowers beautiful in LA heat

Southern California sun is hard on cut flowers. Once you have your flowers delivered, unwrap them, remove a couple of the lower leaves and recut each stem half an inch at an angle. Put them in a vase of cold water with flower food, deep enough to cover at least 2 inches of the stems. Check the water level every day, change the water and recut the stems every three days, and keep the vase out of direct sun in the coolest spot in the room.

Box, basket and vase arrangements set in floral foam need water every day; pour about a cup into the center. If you pick up in Long Beach, take the flowers straight home rather than leaving them in a parked car. Our flower care guide covers bouquets and foam arrangements in more detail. Bookmark it for the next time you get flowers so you can always find the steps.
