Can you deliver to the restaurant where we have a reservation?
+
We strongly advise against it, and most Triangle restaurants will decline anyway. At the hour you want flowers to appear, the kitchen and the front of house are in the middle of service, there is nowhere cool to store a vase, and the delivery window does not line up with a seven-thirty table. Herons at The Umstead, the Angus Barn on Glenwood in Raleigh and the downtown Cary restaurants around Academy Street all fall into this category. Send the arrangement to the house that afternoon so it is waiting when you get back, or to the hotel front desk if you are staying over. Both land better than a bouquet parked by a hostess stand.
What does an anniversary bouquet cost in Cary?
+
The listed arrangements in this selection start at $32.49. Delivery charges, taxes and optional extras are confirmed for the selected florist and recipient before payment.
Which flowers go with which anniversary year?
+
The traditional list is worth using because so few people do. Carnations belong to the first year, daisies to the fifth, daffodils to the tenth, irises to the twenty-fifth and yellow roses to the fiftieth. It turns an ordinary bouquet into a gift that clearly took thought: Daisy Daydreams on a fifth anniversary reads as deliberate, where the same bouquet sent without explanation reads as bright. Mention the year in the card message and the connection does the work for you. If none of that appeals, red roses have never once been the wrong answer, and the studio will tell you honestly what is freshest that morning.
We live in Cary and want flowers at home while we are both at work. How does that work?
+
Ask for an afternoon window rather than a morning one, especially between June and September, when a Wake County afternoon in the nineties will punish an arrangement left on an uncovered porch for eight hours. Tell us which door the household actually uses — a lot of Cary homes have a formal front entrance nobody opens and a side or garage door everyone does — and whether there is a dog in the yard. If the neighborhood is one of the newer west Cary phases in 27519, a nearby cross street in the note keeps the driver from trusting a GPS pin that predates the street.
Our anniversary is on a Sunday. What should we do?
+
Order for Saturday. Sunday delivery coverage is thin across the entire Triangle rather than just in Cary, and a Saturday arrival with the right card is better than a Monday one. Flowers delivered Saturday to a home will look excellent through Sunday dinner. If you are staying at a hotel over the weekend, Saturday afternoon to the front desk is the ideal pairing: the room is ready, the arrangement is in it, and nothing depends on a Sunday driver. For a Monday anniversary, Saturday still works for a house, but send Monday morning for an office.
Can you deliver to a hotel or a home in Raleigh or Durham instead?
+
Yes. The 18-mile live radius from 27511 reaches downtown Raleigh, North Hills, the NC State area, most of west and north Raleigh, Garner, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs and the southern half of Durham including the Duke campus and the Washington Duke Inn. Two of the seven shops are based in Durham 27713, which means a Durham delivery is handled by a Durham studio rather than driven across two counties. Chapel Hill, including the Carolina Inn, sits beyond the radius; those orders can often still be arranged but are quoted individually rather than on the standard same-day clock.
