How to Send Flowers to Someone in Another State

Gifting flowers to a friend or loved one is a heartwarming way to show you care. Sometimes, you can’t always bring someone a floral arrangement in person. When you live far from a loved one, you aren’t out of options. It’s possible to order flowers in another state through online delivery.

How to Send Flowers to a Different State

Online flower delivery is easy if you know the steps to take and your recipient’s address. With a few extra selections, you can set up flower delivery to another state for any occasion. Impress a friend, surprise a loved one, and make someone’s day when you learn how to send flowers to another state.

Check Delivery Zones and Schedules

Your first step in ordering flowers is to check the delivery zones of the local florists you’d like to order from. Many online florists list their delivery zones and allow you to see if they deliver to your recipient’s zip code.

You also need to plan your order around delivery schedules. Some florists offer same-day or one-day delivery, depending on the day of the week and time you order. You may consider ordering a week in advance or at least checking in with a florist during that time to guarantee you’ll be able to place your order. Sometimes, you can choose a time frame for your delivery depending on the florist. Specific delivery can be useful if you know your recipient will only be home during certain hours.

Oda á la Rose offers same-day and next-day delivery in different delivery zones. Residents in Washington, D.C., Miami, Austin, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City can receive same-day deliveries. We offer next-day national flower delivery services to every other state in the country.

Our same-day deliveries arrive in water to keep the flowers fresh, while nationwide deliveries are hand-tied and delivered in secure pink boxes.

Contact the Florist and Choose the Blooms

Your next step is to contact the florist and choose your favorite flowers. Flowers can vary based on your location and the season. If you aren’t quite sure what floral arrangement to choose, a florist can provide professional opinions and advice to guide your decision.

Once you get input from the florist, or if you already have an idea, it’s time to browse. Explore the shop’s site and select a bouquet to send. Think about the reason for sending flowers and what types of blooms your recipient would enjoy.

You want to choose the best arrangement, and you may consider the recipient’s favorite color, occasion, flower meaning, available space, and the flower availability or season. Ode á la Rose offers a wide range of small and large bouquets for any occasion, including:

  • Roses: A bouquet of roses is a romantic and sophisticated choice. Available in a range of colors from red to white and everything in between, roses are perfect for weddings, anniversaries, and all things love.
  • Peonies: Give the gift of prosperity with an arrangement of peonies. Celebrate new beginnings, such as welcoming a new child or heading to college, and wish someone luck with an arrangement of these flowers.

  • Orchids: Choose an orchid for a unique floral gift. An orchid is a modern and elegant option that can also last longer than other bouquets. With a vase life of a few months, the long-lasting orchid will remind your recipient that you thought of them for weeks and months to come. These blooms are great for sympathy or apology sentiments your recipient can cherish for months.
  • Hydrangeas: Send an arrangement and thank you card that includes hydrangeas, especially white ones, for a sophisticated symbol of gratitude. The blooms come in a variety of other colors, as well, giving you options for any recipient.
  • Tulips: The classic symbol of spring and rebirth makes a great gift, especially on Mother’s Day. Give your mom the gift of flowers that remind you of her grace and beauty with a bouquet of tulips.

Include Your Gifts and Check Out

Don’t stop with your gorgeous bouquet. Consider adding a personal touch to your meaningful gift. On your way to check out, add a personalized note, candle, photo, vase, or macarons to let your loved one know just how much you care.

After making your selections, submit your phone number and email with the order so the florist can contact you with any questions. Then, ensure you provide your recipient’s address so they can receive your lovely gift.

Make Sure the Recipient Received Their Flowers
