At French Florist, we’ve been creating exceptional floral arrangements and happy birthday flowers since 1978. Today, our in-house team harnesses over 40 years of expertise to create bouquets that are bold, beautiful and designed to last as long as possible. By hand-selecting the freshest flowers and ensuring every arrangement passes our meticulous quality control checks, you’re sure to be wowed every time.
To extend the lifespan of your birthday flowers, keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight and air vents. For flowers, empty and refill your vase with fresh water daily; for plants, carefully water and pour out any excess; and for succulents and orchids, wait for approximately 10 days before watering and only water sparingly.

We’ll leave our information as well so that they can reach out in case there are any concerns. In occurrences when we do not feel like there is a safe place to leave the flowers, we return them to the shop and notify you and your recipient, letting your recipient know to reach out to us to reschedule the delivery of a fresh arrangement at a time that works best for them.
