Can I get birthday flowers delivered today in Lafayette?
+
Same-day options depend on the delivery ZIP, requested date, florist availability and that florist's local cutoff. Check the available options before paying; a city listing does not guarantee delivery today.
How much does a birthday arrangement cost in Lafayette?
+

Can you drop birthday flowers at a Lafayette office?
+
Yes, and it is a large share of what moves on weekday mornings. Stuller on Rue Louis XIV, LHC Group on Hugh Wallis Road South, SCP Health on Corporate Boulevard, the CGI center downtown, Home Bank on Kaliste Saloom, the medical and professional suites all through the Oil Center off Coolidge and Pinhook, City Hall on West University, the parish courthouse on South Buchanan, PHI Aviation and the hangar row at Lafayette Regional, and the service yards along US 90 in Broussard. Give us a suite or floor number and the name the front desk knows. Badge-access buildings mean a lobby handoff, so order early enough that the piece is not sitting at reception past 5.
Will a bouquet survive being left on a porch in July?
+
Not for long, and this is the single most useful thing to plan around in Lafayette. Low-nineties heat with matching humidity will wilt an unattended arrangement in an hour or two on a sunlit step, and an afternoon thunderstorm will finish the job. Tell us if there is a shaded doorway, a carport or a covered side entry, and say so if a neighbor is home during the day. Otherwise the better move is a workplace delivery, or a morning slot, or a hold-for-pickup arrangement with the recipient. Sunflowers, gerbera, carnation and alstroemeria take the heat better than hydrangea or open garden roses.
Which Lafayette neighborhoods and ZIP codes do you cover?
+
All of Lafayette proper — 70501 through 70508 — plus the ring of towns inside the 60-mile radius. In town that means the Saint Streets between Johnston and Pinhook, Sterling Grove and the downtown blocks, Freetown-Port Rico by the university, Bendel Gardens off Pinhook, Broadmoor, Greenbriar, the Oil Center, and River Ranch along Camellia Boulevard. Outside the city: Youngsville and Sugar Mill Pond, Broussard, Milton, Maurice, Scott, Duson, Carencro up I-49, Breaux Bridge and Cecilia across the Vermilion, and farther out Rayne, Crowley, Opelousas, Abbeville, New Iberia and St. Martinville. The farther edges are next-day rather than same-day more often than the in-town routes.
Does Festival International or a Ragin' Cajuns game affect delivery?
+
It can, and it is worth a sentence in your order note. Festival International de Louisiane closes Jefferson Street and the blocks around Parc International and Parc Sans Souci for several days each April, so downtown addresses and downtown offices get walked in from outside the barricades. Downtown Alive! does a smaller version on Friday evenings. Festivals Acadiens et Créoles fills Girard Park in October, which snarls the streets between campus and Pinhook. On a home football Saturday, Cajun Field and Cajundome Boulevard parking pushes traffic onto Congress and Bertrand. Mardi Gras parade routes close on short notice. None of these stop delivery; they just move the window earlier.
Can you deliver to a student at UL Lafayette?
+
Yes, with the same caveat that applies at every university: the residence halls do not let a driver walk to a room. Deliveries to the campus between Johnston Street, University Avenue and St. Mary Boulevard go to a front desk or a residence-hall office, and the student gets a message to come down. Give us the full name as the university has it, the hall name, and a cell number, because a wrong hall on a big campus costs an hour. Off-campus student addresses in Freetown-Port Rico, the Saint Streets and along Girard Park Drive are ordinary residential deliveries and easier. Summer and between-semester breaks are worth checking before you send.
