Alexandria, LA Flower Delivery by Hand

Bedside flowers at Alexandria Hospital

Flower delivery in Alexandria, LA reaches a city of 45,262 people (2020) spread over 28.491 square miles, so orders here go to houses, apartments and offices, and to a long list of hospitals and care homes.

A boxed bouquet comes in a carton, often after a night in transit, and someone has to unpack it, trim the stems and find a vase. A hand-delivered arrangement from a local florist arrives assembled in its container, which matters in a hospital room where nobody has a spare vase.

For a patient there, the order needs the patient's full legal name, the room number and, if you know it, the unit. Check with the family first that flowers are allowed; some units, intensive care among them, turn them away.

Same day flower delivery in Alexandria works on Central time: place the order before 1 PM Central time and it arrives between 9 AM and 7 PM that business day. Delivery runs Monday through Saturday; Sunday delivery is not available, so a patient admitted on a Saturday evening gets flowers on Monday.

A patient's room at CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini

Flowers for a patient at CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital need the same details: the name on the hospital wristband, the room number and the floor if the family has it.

Hospital stays are often short. If the patient may go home within a day or two, send the flowers to the house instead, timed for when they are back and able to enjoy them.

Visiting rules change with the season and from unit to unit, so a quick word with the family before ordering is the simplest way to learn whether cut flowers, a plant or only a card will be welcome on the floor.

The same order details apply at Rapides Regional Medical Center and Longleaf Hospital, and at any of the smaller hospitals in the 71301 and 71303 ZIPs.

Virginia, Minnesota, South Dakota and Tennessee are among the states with a town of the same name, so a hospital order started from a search can end up in the wrong state. Before paying, confirm Louisiana and the ZIP; an Alexandria LA order with any other state is going somewhere else.

Flowers that fit a Belle Grande room

For a resident at Belle Grande Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, put the name the staff use and the room number on the order, and choose a design that fits a small table.

Rehabilitation stays tend to end with a move home. If that is only days away, a plant travels home with the resident more easily than a vase of cut flowers, and it keeps going long after the discharge papers are signed.

The same details apply for a resident at Lexington House or The Summit: name, room, and a compact piece that leaves space for a water glass and a phone.

Staff at a care home sort a lot of mail and packages, and a design with the resident's name clearly on the card envelope is far easier to route to the right room.

Funeral flowers in Alexandria are addressed to the funeral home in charge of the visitation, Good Shepherd Funeral Home being one, with the deceased's name and the service time on the order.

The city is the seat of Rapides Parish, LA, with 125,899 residents, and the parish page links towns such as Pineville, LA and Ball, LA. A parish next door, Avoyelles Parish, LA, has its own page.

Other stems, same Alexandria design

Every Alexandria flower delivery is made by hand by a local florist, and sometimes a flower shown in the catalog picture is not available. Flower types may then be substituted for what the florist has on hand; the size, shape and value of the arrangement do not change.

A compact hospital design stays compact, and a tall piece for a lobby stays tall. The replacement is chosen to keep the color and style close to the original, so a patient who was promised pink and white still sees pink and white.

If something is wrong with a 71303 delivery, report it within three days of its arrival, since flowers do not keep; a replacement, a refund or a partial credit may follow.

Florists near Alexandria do all of the arranging. Anyone looking for a flower shop in Alexandria finds an order form here rather than a counter, and an Alexandria florist handles the rest.

A look at it before the thank-you call

Once the florist has finished the arrangement, a photo of it comes to you at no extra charge. For a patient who cannot easily call, the picture shows exactly what was made for the room.

Not every order is for a hospital. Birthday flowers delivered to a coworker in Alexandria or an anniversary bouquet for a spouse at home work the same way, and the photo arrives for those too.

Browse the catalog to send flowers to Alexandria, and use the Louisiana delivery page to order flowers for other towns in Louisiana. Flower deliveries to several hospitals on one day each need their own order and room number.
