How soon should I order flowers online before Mother’s Day?
Nearly every flower delivery service on this list has a form of overnight delivery, with some even offering same-day services, but it can cost you. To avoid high delivery fees, try to order flowers at least one week before the big event. Additionally, when shopping for flowers, keep in mind that rural addresses may not qualify for same or next-day delivery. If you’re able, you can shop anytime and arrange for advance delivery. We’ve noted in this article if Mother’s Day delivery is available yet.
Will my flowers arrive in time for Mother’s Day?
With enough advance notice or expedited delivery, flowers ordered online should arrive in time for delivery. Keep in mind that most floral delivery services can’t guarantee a delivery time, especially for weekends and big holidays. For this reason, it may be a good idea to have them arrive the Friday or Saturday before Mother’s Day. Weekend and holiday delivery fees are often more expensive, so you’ll also save a little cash by doing this.
