Frequently Asked Questions

Woodside Floral & Decoration is a fictional business. This website is a demonstration of what can be designed, provisioned and hosted through MaiaHost — the shop, its staff and the customer comments here are invented, and every telephone number on the site is a placeholder.

Yes. Order by 1:00 pm Monday to Friday, or by 11:00 am on Saturday, and your flowers are delivered that afternoon anywhere in our same-day zone across western Queens — Woodside, Sunnyside, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Maspeth and Long Island City.

Our everyday bouquets start at $65 and most people spend between $95 and $145. Roses start at $120 a dozen. Weddings are quoted individually and typically land between $6,000 and $14,000. Every price on this site is what you pay — delivery is shown separately and nothing is added at checkout.

We buy four mornings a week at the Manhattan flower market on 28th Street, plus direct from a handful of growers in New Jersey and the Hudson Valley in season. We buy small and often rather than holding large stock, which is why our flowers last.

We guarantee five days of vase life in fresh water on everything we make, and most arrangements go well beyond that. Change the water every two days, re-cut the stems at an angle, and keep them out of direct sun and away from the fruit bowl — ripening fruit gives off ethylene and will kill a bouquet in a day.

Every day. We know the delivery entrances and visiting hours at the Queens hospitals and we confirm chapel times with funeral homes directly. Note that intensive-care and some oncology units will not accept fresh flowers; if a ward turns a delivery away, we hold it and re-deliver free.

Please do — it is genuinely the better way to order anything that matters. Call 000-000-0000 during shop hours and you will speak to a designer who can tell you what is beautiful today, rather than what a photograph promised in March.

Always. There is a cooler full of finished arrangements and buckets of stems you can have wrapped in five minutes. Everything designed to order needs a couple of hours' notice, but nobody has ever walked out of here empty-handed.

Same-day across western Queens and next-day across the rest of Queens, Manhattan below 96th Street and northern Brooklyn. We also deliver to Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, quoted by distance. The full zone and ZIP code list is on our delivery areas page.

English, Spanish, Tagalog, Nepali, Bengali, Korean and Mandarin between us — which is roughly what a shop in Woodside needs. Card messages are hand-written in any of them.

Yes. Weekly and fortnightly subscriptions for homes, offices, restaurants and building lobbies, from $75 a delivery. We swap the vessel, take the old stems away and invoice monthly, and there is no contract.

Very closely, and we will be honest about where nature will not cooperate. There is no true blue flower — what you have seen is dyed or it is a delphinium in a photograph with the saturation pushed. We will show you the real options at the consultation.
