What actually drives the price
Two bouquets at the same price can look very different, and two that look similar can cost very differently. Here is where the money goes:
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Flower type | Peonies, garden roses and orchids cost more than carnations or chrysanthemums |
| Season | In-season stems are cheaper and fresher; off-season imports carry a premium |
| Stem count & size | A fuller, larger design simply uses more flowers |
| Design time | Intricate, wired or structural work takes more skilled hands |
| Delivery | Local courier delivery is added by ZIP; timed or rush delivery costs more |
Delivery fees in and around Boston
We price delivery by destination rather than baking a flat national fee into the flowers. Central neighborhoods, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Cambridge and Somerville, sit at the lower end, while outer suburbs cost a little more for the courier’s time. You will always see the exact fee at checkout before you pay.
How to get more flowers for your budget
- Choose designer’s choice. Letting us use the freshest stems of the day almost always buys more beauty than a fixed recipe.
- Pick a palette, not a flower. “Blush and white” lets us swap an expensive off-season bloom for a gorgeous in-season one at the same price.
- Buy in season. A summer dahlia arrangement costs less than forcing peonies in November.
- Subscribe. A weekly or biweekly plan lowers the per-delivery cost and keeps flowers in the house all month.
FAQ
How much should I spend on a nice bouquet in Boston?
For a gift that looks generous, $85 to $120 hits the sweet spot at most Boston florists. Below about $65, delivered and designed, the arrangement is usually quite small.
Why are florist flowers more expensive than the supermarket?
You are paying for fresher, longer-lasting stems, a florist’s design, and local hand-delivery, not a bucket of grab-and-go flowers cut weeks ago. The vase life difference alone is usually several days.
Is there a delivery fee on top of the flowers?
Yes, a local delivery fee is calculated by ZIP code and shown at checkout. Same-day orders in Greater Boston need to be placed by 1 PM.
Are flower subscriptions cheaper than one-off bouquets?
Per delivery, yes. Our plans run $70 to $130 a week depending on size, which is generally better value than ordering a comparable bouquet à la carte.
