Love Romance flowers in St. Louis

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.

The listed arrangements in this selection start at $45.44. Delivery charges, taxes and optional extras are confirmed for the selected florist and recipient before payment.

Everything on this page changes for roughly three days, and it is better to hear that now. Rose pricing during Valentine's week bears no relation to the ordinary grid, because the wholesale market moves and the studios buy ahead. Delivery windows stop being promises: the shops work from a pre-booked list and route the whole day in one pass, which means a February 14 order placed at noon may land in the evening. The practical advice is to order several days out, ask for the quote when you order rather than assuming a listed price, name a delivery day rather than an hour, and give a phone number so a hand-off is possible. Mother's Day weekend behaves the same way in a milder form.

Three habits do most of the work. Do not send to a workplace unless you are sure the recipient wants a bouquet carried past their colleagues — Clayton and downtown lobbies require a name at reception, which means at least two people know before they do. Do not let the confirmation email land in a shared inbox. And give the runner a way to reach you rather than the recipient if the plan depends on secrecy, then have them leave the arrangement with a doorman, a neighbor or a leasing office rather than calling ahead. If the flowers are meant to be waiting in a hotel room, ask the concierge to place rather than hold, and know that in-room placement is a request the hotel grants at its discretion, not something a florist can guarantee.

Frequently, and the hotel decides. The Chase Park Plaza on Kingshighway in the Central West End, the Ritz-Carlton on Carondelet Plaza and Le Méridien in Clayton, the Four Seasons on the downtown riverfront, Hotel Saint Louis in the Union Trust building, 21c on Locust, Angad Arts in Grand Center, The Last Hotel on Washington Avenue, the Westin and Live! by Loews at Ballpark Village, the Cheshire on Clayton Road and the Moonrise in the Delmar Loop all handle concierge drops routinely. Give the guest name exactly as it appears on the reservation and the check-in date, and say whether the desk should hold or attempt in-room placement. Placement in the room is always the hotel's call, and a studio that promises it outright is overpromising.

Almost never, and this is the most useful thing on the page. Art Hill and the Grand Basin in Forest Park, the Climatron and Japanese garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Jewel Box, the Arch grounds, Citygarden and the Boathouse are public ground with no one to receive a delivery, no place to store it and, in the Garden's case, an admission gate. Flowers left at any of them are flowers left for a stranger. Send them to the apartment, the house or the hotel room the evening ends at, or carry them yourself. If you want something at the venue itself, that is an event booking with the venue and the studio together, arranged a day ahead, with a named coordinator on site.
