California (CA) Florists, Flower Shops & Florist Directory
When the time comes that you want to send flowers to someone across the street or across the country, we can help make your decisions easy. Our national directory of local flower shops and florists gives you all the information you need to be able to contact the people who will actually make and deliver your floral gift. By ordering direct from local flower shops and florists, you save money because there are no middlemen charges. Also by ordering direct, you will know exactly what is available and in season. If no florist is located in the city or town you want, we also list flower shops and florists in cities and towns that are near and close by.
Locate-A-Flower-Shop.com® is a directory of FTD and Teleflora flower shops and retail stores. We help you find the florist shop that meets your exact needs. It doesn't matter if you want to send flowers, roses, plants, orchids, fruit baskets, gifts, candy, balloons or silk arrangements, local flower shops have the expertise to guide you to make the correct flower selection.
Flowers convey the thoughts and feelings words cannot. From a birthday, wedding or anniversary gift to a loved one's funeral or memorial, local floral shops can help you say it with flowers.
Please place your order as early as possible from the florist to be sure of same day delivery. If you so choose, you can enter your order online through the flower shop's Internet web site or if you want help, use the toll free telephone number of the floral shop. For those florist shops in Whittier, CA not having a toll free telephone number, a local telephone number along with area code is listed.

Ordering Advice:
Floral designers are very creative individuals. Rather than specifying the precise location of every flower in the arrangement, tell them the overall "look" you want (e.g., round arrangement, loose flowers in a vase, etc.) and let them use their creativity to do something spectacular for you!
While some florists will take an order to be delivered in the A.M. or P.M., it is usually impossible to have it delivered at a particular time of the day (i.e., 2:00 P.M.). Because of traffic, pending funerals, weather and many other things, it very difficult to predict where the delivery van will be from one minute to the next. If the delivery is for someone at a place of employment, give the florist the time the person will be there at work.
