Frequently Asked Questions

How do you send flowers anonymously?

When placing an order, leave the "Sender's Name" field blank or type "Anonymous" in the special instructions. We'll ensure your identity stays confidential. This option is available for all deliveries across Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu.

How long do fresh flowers last?

Fresh bouquets typically last 5–7 days with proper care. Flower boxes arranged in floral foam last 3–5 days. For best results: trim stems at a 45° angle, change water every 2 days, use the included Floralife flower food packet, and keep arrangements away from direct sunlight, heat, and fruit. See our flower care guide for detailed tips.

How to send flowers to someone without their address?

No problem! Call us at (424) 303-2205 (LA), (628) 264-6380 (SF), or (808) 673-5427 (Honolulu) and we'll contact the recipient directly to arrange delivery at a convenient time and location.

How to choose the right bouquet size when ordering online?

Consider the occasion and your budget. Our arrangements range from $50 to $300+. Each product page includes exact dimensions, flower count, and real photos. For intimate gestures, a standard bouquet works well. For birthdays, anniversaries, or corporate gifts, consider our premium arrangements. Our team is always happy to guide you — just reach out via phone or email.

Pink Clover has been a top-rated florist for over 8 years with 1,000+ positive reviews on Google and Yelp.

When do people send flowers?

Flowers are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, sympathy & funerals, get well wishes, congratulations, and romantic gestures. Many customers also order for "just because" moments — sometimes the best flowers are the ones that arrive unexpectedly.

What is the average cost of a flower bouquet?

Our arrangements range from $50 to $300+, with most popular bouquets between $75–$150 including a complimentary glass vase. Delivery fees vary by location and are added at checkout. For custom requests or time-specific deliveries, additional fees may apply — our team will discuss everything with you in advance.

Delivery

How does same-day flower delivery work?

Place your order online before our cutoff time (check our delivery page for current hours). Our florists handcraft your arrangement with the freshest flowers available that day. We'll send you a photo/video of the finished bouquet, then deliver it directly to the recipient. You'll receive a delivery confirmation once it arrives.

How do I get flowers delivered to someone?

Simply browse our collections, select an arrangement, and enter the recipient's address at checkout. You can add a personal message card (free), choose a delivery date, and even request a specific time window. We handle the rest and keep it a surprise if you'd like!

Is same-day delivery free?

Same-day delivery fees vary by location and distance. We offer competitive delivery rates starting from $9.99. Orders placed before our cutoff time are eligible for same-day delivery 7 days a week. Check our shipping policy for exact rates by zone.

What happens if no one is home for flower delivery?

Our driver will first try to contact the recipient by phone. If no one answers, we'll leave the flowers in a safe spot — usually by the front door or with a building concierge. You can add specific delivery instructions at checkout (e.g., "leave with doorman" or "call before arriving").

Can I get flowers delivered to a workplace or hospital?

Yes! We deliver to offices, hospitals, schools, restaurants, hotels, and all types of workplaces. Just provide the full address, suite/room number, and any access instructions. For hospital deliveries, include the patient's full name and room number if available.

How do I send flowers to a funeral home?

Select an arrangement from our sympathy collection — we offer standing sprays, casket flowers, wreaths, and peaceful bouquets. Provide the funeral home's name and address, the service date, and the name of the deceased. We ensure timely delivery for all funeral and memorial orders.

Can I schedule a delivery for a future date?

Absolutely! During checkout, select your preferred delivery date from the calendar. We recommend scheduling in advance for holidays like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and Christmas to guarantee availability. You can schedule up to 30 days in advance.

Flowers & Arrangements

How to keep a bouquet fresh for longer?

Follow these steps to maximize your bouquet's lifespan:
✦ Trim stems at a 45° angle before placing in water
✦ Dissolve the included Floralife flower food packet in the vase water
✦ Change water and re-trim stems every 2 days
✦ Keep away from direct sunlight, heat vents, drafts, and fruit (fruit releases ethylene gas that wilts flowers faster)
✦ Remove any wilted blooms promptly to keep the rest fresh longer

What is the meaning of a white flower arrangement?

White flowers symbolize purity, elegance, and peace. White arrangements are popular for weddings, sympathy & funerals, christenings, and any occasion where a refined, classic look is desired. Common white blooms include roses, lilies, orchids, and hydrangeas.

What is an affordable but beautiful flower bouquet?

Our arrangements start at $50 and feature premium seasonal flowers. Chrysanthemums, carnations, spray roses, and seasonal mixed bouquets offer stunning looks at great value. Browse our best sellers for crowd favorites at every price point.

What are the different types of flower arrangements?

We offer several styles:
Hand-tied bouquets — classic wrapped arrangements, perfect for gifting (5–7 day lifespan)
Flower boxes — elegant arrangements in floral foam, no vase needed (3–5 days)
Vase arrangements — ready-to-display in a glass vase
Orchids in pots — long-lasting potted plants
Succulent gardens — low-maintenance potted arrangements
Custom designs — tell us your vision and we'll create it

What are the best anniversary flowers?

Red roses are the classic choice for romance, but many couples appreciate personalized selections. Peonies, ranunculus, and garden roses convey deep affection. For milestone anniversaries, consider our premium arrangements or a 100 roses bouquet for an unforgettable statement. You can also add a personalized ribbon with a special message.

Are floral arrangements the same thing as bouquets?

Not exactly. A bouquet is a hand-tied bundle of flowers, usually wrapped in paper or placed in a vase. A floral arrangement is a broader term that includes bouquets, flower boxes, centerpieces, wreaths, and custom designs. At Pink Clover, we create both — browse our full catalog to see every style.

Can I order wedding flowers online?

Yes! We offer wedding flowers including bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and ceremony arches. For large wedding orders, we recommend contacting us directly for a custom consultation — email losangeles@pinkcloverflorist.com (LA), sanfrancisco@pinkcloverflorist.com (SF), or oahu@pinkcloverflorist.com (Honolulu).

Can I send flowers to a man?

Absolutely! Bold arrangements with neutral or rich tones are popular choices for men — think deep reds, whites, greens, and blues. Our "For Him" collection features arrangements tailored specifically for masculine taste. Orchids and succulent gardens are also great options.

Ordering & General

How do you ensure flowers arrive fresh?

At Pink Clover, we source only the freshest flowers from trusted local and international growers. Unlike bulk delivery services that stack dozens of orders into one van route, we deliver each arrangement separately and directly to the recipient. You also receive a photo and video of the finished arrangement before delivery, so you know exactly what your recipient will get.

What are some unique birthday flower ideas?

Go beyond the basics with our birthday collection! Popular choices include vibrant mixed bouquets with roses and seasonal blooms, flower boxes for a luxury unboxing experience, or a custom arrangement in the recipient's favorite colors. Add a personalized ribbon with their name for an extra special touch.

Do you offer last-minute flower delivery?

Yes! We offer same-day delivery 7 days a week for orders placed before our daily cutoff. Need flowers even sooner? For an additional fee, we can arrange express 1–2 hour delivery in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Honolulu. Call us directly for rush orders.

Do you take back vases?

We don't accept returned vases for hygiene reasons. However, most of our bouquets come with a complimentary glass vase that's designed to complement any home decor — keep it and reuse it for your next arrangement!

Is it safe to order flowers online?

With the right florist, absolutely. Pink Clover has 8+ years of experience and over 1,000 positive reviews on Google and Yelp. We've been recognized as a top florist in LA for several years in a row and work with brands like AT&T, Google, Skims, and Tesla.
