Honolulu, HI Flower Delivery from a Local Florist

With 350,964 residents counted in 2020 on 68.4 square miles, the city sends flowers to every kind of address: high-rise apartments, houses on narrow streets, campus buildings, hospitals and care homes. Flower delivery in Honolulu, HI is hand delivery for all of them, and the rest of this page is about what each type of address needs on the order. For the towns next door, Maunawili, HI, Halawa, HI and Aiea, HI each have their own page.

The county has one too. The Honolulu County, HI page is a separate listing that covers the whole county, with the city as its seat, and it is the place to look when a relative lives outside the city limits.

Dorm room flowers at Chaminade University of Honolulu

For a student, write the full name, the residence hall and the room number. Many campus mailrooms hold parcels rather than passing them on, so for flowers the dorm address with a room number, or an off-campus address, is the better choice. Around graduation, a delivery the day before the ceremony avoids a rush on the day itself.

For faculty or staff, add the department and building. The same-day rule applies here as anywhere: same day flower delivery in Honolulu needs the order before 1 PM Hawaii time. Add Hawaii to your phone's world clock and the time zone problem goes away, because the state never shifts for daylight saving.

Deliveries run Monday through Saturday, between 9 AM and 7 PM, and there is no Sunday delivery, which is worth remembering for a weekend graduation.

Room numbers on a Kaiser Foundation Hospital order

For a patient at Kaiser Foundation Hospital, in ZIP 96819, the order needs the patient's full name, and the room number if you have it. Hospitals usually pass flowers through a front desk or volunteer office, so a name that matches the admission record is what gets the arrangement to the bedside.

Some units, often intensive care, do not allow flowers at all. Check with the family first, and if in doubt, send the arrangement to the house for when the patient comes home. For other hospitals in the city, such as Kuakini Medical Center or Straub Clinic and Hospital, the same details apply.

A florist in Honolulu arranges each order by hand, and a compact vase design is the practical choice for a hospital room, where bedside tables fill up quickly. Honolulu flower delivery to a hospital follows the same cutoff as any home order, so a morning order reaches the ward that afternoon.

Visiting a resident at 15 Craigside

For a resident of 15 Craigside or another care home in the city, such as Arcadia Retirement Residence, write the resident's full name and room or apartment number. Staff at the front desk usually take the delivery and bring it up, so a clear name matters.

Rooms in care homes are small, so choose a low arrangement or a plant that will not tip over. Flowers sent to a resident every few weeks, rather than one large bouquet, give staff and visitors something new to talk about. If you were hoping for a flower shop in Honolulu near the home, the order is placed on this page instead, and a local florist makes it and has it carried in.

Funeral flowers in Honolulu go to the mortuary or church holding the service, with the name of the deceased on the order, while a plant or vase design suits the family home.

Roses for a Honolulu HI anniversary

For an anniversary or a romantic occasion, a dozen roses in a vase is the classic, and a mixed bouquet in the couple's favorite colors is a warmer alternative. Mention the number of years on the card for a milestone. Couples in a high-rise often have a front desk, so add the building name and unit number to let the desk call up when the flowers arrive.

If the date falls on a Sunday, send it on Saturday and say so on the card. Around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas and Easter the same-day cutoff can be earlier, so book those romantic dates in advance. Flowers delivered to a workplace make a louder surprise than a home delivery, if the recipient enjoys that kind of attention.

Get well at home, away from the ward

When the patient is back home, the choice changes. A slightly larger vase design or a potted plant works well, since the recipient now has space and time to enjoy it. Avoid heavy scents for anyone still recovering from surgery or chemotherapy.

Florists near Honolulu deliver get well orders on the same Monday to Saturday schedule. Flower types may be substituted for what the florist has on hand, with no change to the size, shape or value of the arrangement, and a photo of the finished arrangement is sent to you at no extra charge.

To send flowers to Honolulu for any occasion, browse the catalog. For other towns in the state, see the Hawaii delivery page, where you can also order flowers for relatives outside the city.
