| How much is a flower arrangement in Halifax? Flower arrangements typically cost between $30 and $100. The final price varies based on the specific flowers, foliage, wrappings, containers, decorations, and shipping cost. For instance, if you prefer roses and a larger arrangement, expect it to be towards the higher end of the range. On the other hand, if you go for smaller blooms and a medium-sized bundle, it will likely be closer to the lower end. |

We recently ordered a half-dozen rose bouquet for $50, and we found the customer service to be friendly and helpful.
Our bouquet arrived fresh and not fully bloomed, which was great as it meant the flowers would last longer. The bouquet came in various colors and varieties of hybrid tea roses and Mr. Lincolns.
However, we discovered mixed reviews from other customers. Some reported receiving wilting and brown flowers, while others experienced late deliveries.
Some even noted discrepancies between the delivered flowers and the ones shown in the pictures.

“Popped in quickly today to grab a few pre-made bouquets for friends. The florist that helped me was fantastic, very friendly and helpful! The store is cute and has everything you’ll need. The Flower Shop has been in business since the 1930’s, so Cleary they know what they’re doing! Will definitely be back”

Beautiful arrangements and reasonably priced
“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.”

- Saturday: 9 AM–5 PM
Flower Trends Florists has been delivering flowers in Halifax for 30 years. They offer a variety of floral arrangements for occasions like birthdays, holidays, and funerals.
We appreciate their same-day delivery promotions. Most arrangements are priced around $50, though premium flowers cost more.
When we ordered by phone, customer service was friendly and informative. They quickly confirmed our arrangement and provided the total cost.
Unfortunately, our flowers arrived fully bloomed instead of half-bloomed as requested. We later found out that fresher flowers are available on specific days, and our order was placed before the new stock arrived.
Feedback from other customers was also mixed. Some received wilted flowers or flowers that wilted the next day.
Plus, complaints took a long time to be addressed, leaving clients dissatisfied. There were also reports of late or poorly handled surprise deliveries.
Pros
- 30 years of service in Halifax
- Wide variety of floral arrangements
- Same-day delivery promotions
- Friendly and informative customer service
Cons
- Inconsistent flower freshness
- Slow response to complaints
- Issues with late or poor-condition deliveries

Fresh beautiful flowers delivered on time
“Great experience purchasing flowers for a friend of mine. Ordered them from Ontario, asking that they get delivered when they arrive home from the hospital. Flower Trends Florist ensured to make contact with them and that the flowers were delivered as soon as they arrived home. The flowers looked fresh and beautiful!”

Props Floral Design Inc
Website: http://www.propsfloraldesign.com/
Address: 5533 Young St
Contact Details: +1 902-429-1935
Operating Hours:
- Closed on Sunday
- Monday to Saturday: 10 AM–5 PM
Props Floral Design isn’t your typical flower shop in Halifax. They specialize in unique bouquets, so you won’t get exactly what you see on their website.
Instead, they create a signature bouquet within your chosen price range, based on any details you provide. They source seasonal and local flowers as much as possible, so their selection changes frequently.
We really liked how each arrangement ordered was similar but had its own unique look. The floral choices were unexpected yet pleasing.
Speaking of floral choices, they offer various floral arrangements for occasions like Mother’s Day, birthdays, and anniversaries.
And their flower subscriptions focus on local flowers and foliage, making them more sustainable.
Surprisingly, the florists were open to feedback. They even encourage written feedback for those who have problems voicing their concerns.
However, some clients reported issues like miscommunication and delays. Others felt that the arrangements were too small or expensive for the size.
Pros
- Unique and personalized bouquets
- Seasonal and local flowers used
- Suitable for various occasions
- Sustainable flower subscriptions
Cons
- Possible miscommunication and delays
- High cost for smaller arrangements
Great consultation for stunning arrangements with quick delivery
“Simply fantastic! The arrangements were stunning and the full customer journey with the Props team is top notch! Had a wonderful consultation with Haley who listened to what we had in mind for the event and she took our feedback in mind in designing the final arrangements. Delivery was swift and on- time. All expectations managed well !! Thank you!”

Bloom 24 Floristry
Website: https://www.bloom24.ca/
Address: 1992 Brunswick St
Contact Details: +1 902-466-2424
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9:30 AM–5 PM
- Sunday: 11 AM–4 PM
Bloom24 Floristry provides flower and plant delivery and pickup at their Downtown Halifax shop. They offer a wide variety of high-quality flowers for any occasion, from Valentine’s Day to get-well bouquets and dinner table decor.
We visited the shop for a quick consultation and were welcomed by friendly and professional florists.
After agreeing on the price and design concept, we noticed the shop also has potted plants and candles for sale. We were pleased to learn that these can be added to any floral arrangement for unique gift basket ideas.
Also, we like that you can order for pickup or get same-day flower delivery in Halifax and surrounding areas.
However, we arrived during a busy time, so the service, though friendly, was a bit hurried. They advised ordering ahead to avoid busy days like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Pros
- Wide variety of high-quality flowers
- Same-day delivery and pickup options
- Friendly and professional staff
- Supplementary potted plants and candles
Cons
- Service can be hurried during busy times
Perfect execution of floral concept from friendly and up-front staff
“I ordered my winter wedding bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere through Bloom 24 and they executed my vision to absolute perfection. I couldn’t be more in love with final product, and the staff were so friendly to work with, and up front about cost, timeline, etc.”

Great floral arrangement delivered to out-of-the-way location
“Bloom 24 went above and beyond for me and my family! I live in Ontario and wanted to send flowers to in laws due to a loss in the family. After hours, they helped organize everything and delivery the most beautiful flowers to a location not normally shipped to.
Very much recommend this business! Very friendly and customer focused at an affordable price.”

My Mother’s Bloomers
Website: https://www.mymothersbloomers.com/
Address: 2086 Creighton St
Contact Details: +1 902-422-2700
Operating Hours:
- Closed from Sunday to Monday
- Tuesday to Friday: 10 AM–4 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM–1 PM
My Mother’s Bloomers has been hand-delivering premium floral arrangements and gift baskets for over 30 years.
It’s owned by Neville MacKay, who is well-known for his speaking engagements on floral arrangements and winning The Coast’s Best of Halifax readers’ poll as Best Florist.
They provide a variety of flower arrangements and also offer Deal-of-the-Day bouquets, which feature unexpected flower pairings.
Honestly, we didn’t like the flower arrangement we received at first because it didn’t look like what we ordered. Instead of purely roses, the bouquet had additional flowers we didn’t ask for.
Upon speaking to the company, they explained that these were local flowers, which last longer than the roses we ordered. We think that while it was a proactive stance on sustainability, informing us beforehand would have been better.
Also, some people mentioned issues with deliveries. Some arrangements were sent to the wrong address, and others were not delivered on time.
Pros
- Over 30 years of experience
- Owned by a renowned florist
- Free same-day delivery in Halifax
- Variety of flowers
- Deal-of-the-Day bouquets
- Indoor potted plants
Cons
- Delivery issues with wrong addresses
- Late deliveries
Beautiful “Designer’s Choice” flowers
“My husband ordered flowers for on My Mother’s Bloomers to welcome me home after my surgery. I believe he ordered “Designer’s Choice”. Neville and David, you made him look real good! Thanks for the gorgeous bouquet!”

Great flower and plant selection
“Serendipitous neighbourhood find on our way from #IWD breakfast. Spring is in the air with the purchase of a bouquet with two my wife’s favourite flowers: ranunculus and tulips. She chose pretty in pinks. I chose a starter plant.”
