Arrangements

Every arrangement in this collection is made by hand in our shop at the corner of Madison Avenue and 96th Street, where Jerome Florists has been since May 1929. We don't pass your order to a wire service or a warehouse. The people who answer our phone are the same people who choose the stems, build the design and send it out with our own drivers.

You'll find a little of everything here: soft pastels for a new baby or a quiet thank-you, bold seasonal color for a birthday, roses, hydrangeas and orchids, and fuller centerpieces for a dining table or an office lobby. Most arrangements are made on the day they go out, so they arrive looking their best.

Flowers follow the seasons, and ours come in fresh five days a week from the United States, Holland, Italy and South America, so we're always working with what's at its best that week. When a particular stem isn't, we use one of equal or greater value that keeps the colors and feel of the design. If you'd rather have no lilies, because of a cat at home or simply by taste, just say so in your order notes. Any of our designs can be made without them.

We deliver seven days a week: $15 anywhere we deliver in Manhattan and $25 to Brooklyn and Queens. You can also pick up at the shop for free. For same-day delivery in Manhattan, order by 3 PM. After that, give us a call and we'll tell you honestly what's still possible that day. Every order includes a printed card message at no charge, and for $10 we'll write it by hand on our card instead: tick the box under the gift message in the cart.

If you have something particular in mind, like a color to match, a budget, or someone's favorite flower, call us at 212-289-1677. Peter or Constantine is usually behind the counter, and a two-minute conversation is often the surest way to get the arrangement you're picturing.
