Thomas WilsonIn a few months, my job will be sending me on an overseas work trip that’ll cause me to miss two special days: my mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day.
You can probably imagine how stressed I was when I found out that I won’t be there for both occasions. But I simply can’t pass up this amazing opportunity for my career.
The only way I can think of to make up for my absence is to send a reminder of my love. Even though I’m going to be far away, I want my mom to know that I will be thinking of her.
Thankfully, there are several flower delivery services here in Halifax that have a beautiful selection of arrangements. After spending hours trying to find and schedule the perfect bouquets, I can’t wait for my mom to see the gifts I have in store for her.
How much do flower delivery services cost in Halifax?
In Halifax, flower delivery services cost around $50 to $150 per arrangement. The final rate will depend on the size of the bouquet and the swiftness of the delivery.
How We Chose the Best Flower Delivery Services in Halifax
1. Flower Trends Florists
Address: 6241 Quinpool Rd
Phone: +1 902 429 7673
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Sunday – Closed
Locals have been relying on Flower Trends Florists for arrangements and gift baskets since 1994. They have something for every occasion, including anniversaries, funerals, and everything in between.
What really sets them apart is that they offer free same-day deliveries for addresses in the city and its surrounding neighborhoods. All you need to do is check out before 2 PM.
And unless it’s a holiday, they typically move very fast. In fact, most people receive their bouquets around an hour after the order was placed.
We think it’s sweet that they’re even quicker for sympathy flowers. These are usually the priority, and staff members don’t mind personally reaching out to a funeral home if clients don’t know all the details.
Just remember to specify if you’re sending the blooms secretly. In the past, couriers ended up ruining surprises by notifying the recipients of their arrival.
I will definitely use them again
“Very impressed! I’m not local but needed to send some flowers for my mother in law’s birthday. Placed order via online late in the night for delivery the next day. They accommodate the recipients time for delivery. Mother in law was very pleased how fresh and beautiful the bouquet was and their customer service. I will definitely use them again.”

There were no issues with delivery, and they arrived right on time
“Was able to order exactly what I wanted online, pay and write a nice message for my recipient ( and provide delivery instructions) and crossed my fingers the flowers would be fresh and as advertised, and would be delivered correctly. This was all done after business hours. I was delighted that not only were the flowers I ordered just perfect, there were no issues with delivery and they arrived right on time. This is my new favorite florist in HRM”

2. Props Floral Design Inc
Address: 5533 Young St
Phone: +1 902 429 1935
Business Hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Sunday – Closed
Since opening in 1997, Props Floral Design has swiftly gained popularity for its unique workshops. All throughout the year, they teach people how to create bouquets for different holidays and seasons.
When you see their product selection, you’ll notice that most of their arrangements are non-traditional. They’re definitely on the more creative side and are perfect as a statement or a centerpiece.
Thanks to their affordable delivery rates, you don’t have to think twice to get one of these quirky blooms for display. We’d even recommend going for their flower subscription service, where they’ll send you one weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Let’s just hope that there aren’t any issues with your order, since we’ve heard that their team can be quite hard to reach over the phone and via email.
But on the bright side, they usually provide snapshots before sending orders out, which means you’ll have a chance to point out any errors that need fixing.
The arrangements are 100% worth it
“I order from out of province for my best friend who lives locally. Not only is delivery wildly affordable but the arrangements are 100% worth it. High quality flowers and trendy arrangements keep me coming back for more. I have ordered more than 5 times and each time they surpass my expectations. Thank you to the team at Props for making sure my best friend is always taken care of.”

What a warm and reliable team! The arrangement was delivered on time and exceeded my expectations. And it was beyond beautiful and artistic! Props is a real gem find. Truly. Thank you!”

3. The Flower Shop
Address: 1705 Barrington St
Phone: +1 902 423 7133
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday – 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Sunday – Closed
The Flower Shop is one of the oldest sources for floral arrangements in the city, originally established in 1936. Over the decades, they’ve become known for delicately designed bouquets that stay fresh for ages.
This longevity can be seen even in products that have traveled. They always package their deliveries safely and securely, and unless you tell them to, they won’t just leave your order at the doorstep, unprotected from the elements.
On top of this, we love that they accommodate specific shipping times. Simply add your desired schedule to the notes section of their online shop before checking out.
Just a word of advice, though: if you’re very picky, then maybe avoid their Florist’s Choice arrangement. Some people weren’t super happy with how they turned out.
I appreciate the attention to detail and customer service
“The Flower Shop was recommended to me by a friend. I use it to send my daughter flowers each Easter while she is studying at Dalhousie University. The arrangements are beautiful and reasonably priced. This past Easter The Flower Shop phoned me as they could not reach my daughter to arrange delivery. I appreciate the attention to detail and customer service.”

No matter what your budget is, they will make it special
“A beautiful shop, friendly and welcoming staff who make the most stunning floral arrangements. Do not hesitate to visit this shop on your next stroll down Barrington, and certainly save their number for all your floral needs. The folks here are very experienced, and their creations are always stunning. No matter what your budget is, they will make it special. They also have a lovely selection of plants and small giftware like candles and greeting cards. Highly recommend!”

4. Jake’s Florist & Chocolatier
Address: 3204 Barrington St
Phone: +1 902 455 5253
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday – 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Sunday – Closed
Jake’s Florist & Chocolatier has one of the largest flower inventories we’ve seen. You can easily shop by type, whether you like tulips, roses, or even succulents.
People really enjoy that these arrangements can be paired with other products from their gift line. Apparently, fruit baskets, greeting cards, and chocolates are the most popular options.
These can be delivered the same day they’re bought as long as orders are in before 1 PM. You also won’t have to worry about sending to hospitals, retirement communities, or funeral homes since they’re used to coordinating with these facilities.
It’s a huge plus that they accept international orders as well. If you’re from another country, you can send a bouquet to a local by calling the store directly.
Now, although this hasn’t happened a lot, we just want to give a heads-up that there have been instances where the flowers wilted quickly within a few days.
Went above and beyond to get my delivery out and delivered
“Jake went above a beyond to get my delivery out and delivered. I rarely rate any business but Jake exceed my expectations in service delivery. Recipient say the fruit basket and treats are exceptional.”

The hotel manager said she was stunned by their beauty. My wife saw them on our dinner table. She was thrilled and said she had not seen long-stem roses in a long time.Thank you Jake! I highly recommend Jake Florist & Chocolatier!!”

5. My Mother’s Bloomers
Address: 2086 Creighton St
Phone: +11 902 422 2700
Business Hours:
- Monday – 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- Tuesday to Friday – 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Saturday – 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- Sunday – Closed
In the past 3 decades, My Mother’s Bloomers has sent over 19,000 flower delivery orders. They’ve created designs to express almost every sentiment, whether it’s to welcome a new baby or say get well soon.
They’re especially amazing at custom arrangements, with our favorite options being cat-friendly bouquets and ones that only include Canadian-grown flowers. Their florists also provide consultations over the phone for something more bespoke.
Like most floral shops, they offer same-day deliveries. But they can also deliver outside of the local delivery area, as long as the order was finalized by 12 PM.
You’ll be happy to hear that they go above and beyond with instructions as well. Recipients don’t even have to be home — just tell their couriers where to leave the item, and they’ll make sure it stays there safely.
Unfortunately, there have been complaints about their rates being on the pricier side compared to other similar businesses.
I will definitely be ordering from here for every occasion
“I ordered Mothers Day flowers from here and couldn’t be happier with them. For one, three weeks later they are still alive! Also, the ease of ordering, on time, great delivery, and the care that went into and beauty of the bouquet was excellent. I know mothers day is probably one of their busiest days so kudos for them being able to give this level of service on such a stretch day! Imagine a regular day! I will definitely be ordering from here for every occasion!”
