We do not do any type of order correspondence via Instagram - please email us instead!

What Happens if the Recipient is Not Home?
If no one is home when we arrive to deliver the flowers, we will leave them on the porch. We will also make a courtesy call or send a text to the recipient to notify them that the flowers have been placed on the porch. Additionally, we will inform the sender that the flowers have been delivered.
Please ensure you provide the recipient’s phone number when placing your order so we can reach them if needed. If no phone number is provided, the flowers will simply be left on the porch.
Can I Request a Specific Delivery Time or a Photo of the Arrangement?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate specific delivery time requests or provide photos of the arrangements.
While we always do our best to fulfill all order requests, our team is small, and we stay very busy. Most deliveries are made in the afternoon and completed by 6 PM.
How Are Your Arrangements Different?
We specialize in creating unique, organically inspired arrangements using locally sourced, seasonal florals. This allows us to offer one-of-a-kind designs that reflect the beauty of the seasons while supporting local growers.
Do you do custom floral arrangement orders?
We are happy to do customer orders if you are looking for an arrangement larger than our standard sizing and the arrangements listed on the website!
Please email us with more details about the arrangement so we can provide a custom quote. The information we will need is:
- approximate, overall dimensions of the finished arrangement (ex., 3ft wide by 5ft tall)

Do you offer prom or baby shower items like corsages, boutonniere, leis and flower crowns?
Yes! During prom season we will offer these products on our website for online ordering, but we do create these year round. Please email our event team events@thelittleflowershop.co or call the shop to place your order.
How do you post last minute closures?
We keep Google Maps, our website and our Instagram accounts actively updated. If there are ever last minute, weather related or holiday closures, they will be posted there.
What do you recommend for ordering near a holiday? Any ordering tips for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day or winter holidays?
Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day (and the few days before and after them) are our biggest holidays of the year. We source, organize and plan for these specifically and carefully - and we always sell out on orders requiring delivery.
If you know you will need a delivery or two made during one of these holiday times, please (please, please, please) order ahead! The ideal time to order is 2-4 weeks before the holiday. We typically fill will delivery requests on the day-of first. If you can not place a delivery order via the website on the day the day you are wanting, it is because we have already sold out!
