When it comes to flower delivery, you have a choice. You can order from a large, generic online retailer or choose a local florist who understands the essence of St. Louis and brings a personal touch to every arrangement. Here’s why going local for flower delivery offers benefits beyond just a beautiful bouquet — it’s about freshness, quality, and a commitment to creating memorable experiences.
1. Freshness and Quality That Make a Difference
One of the biggest perks of choosing a local St. Louis florist like SunCrest Blooms is the difference in quality. Local florists hand-select their blooms, often sourcing directly from nearby farms, growers, or wholesalers to ensure that each flower is fresh and vibrant. When you choose local, you’re supporting florists who prioritize quality and artistry, so your arrangements don’t just look beautiful upon arrival — they last longer too!
By selecting seasonal blooms that thrive in St. Louis’s climate, we’re able to craft bouquets that reflect the natural beauty around us. Plus, fewer travel miles mean less handling, which keeps your flowers in pristine condition.
2. Uniquely Tailored, Artistry-Driven Arrangements
At SunCrest Blooms, every flower arrangement tells a story. We work with clients to understand their preferences, event themes, and inspiration to create custom designs that aren’t just visually appealing but also capture the sentiment behind each occasion. Our garden-style floral designs feature unique textures and color palettes that express your story in a way mass-produced arrangements simply can’t.
Whether it’s adding pastel tones with vibrant pops of color for a spring wedding or creating moody, romantic arrangements for an autumn celebration, we take the time to curate each detail.
3. Supporting the St. Louis Community
When you choose a local florist, you’re supporting small businesses that are invested in the St. Louis community. Local florists are more than just a business — they’re part of the heartbeat of the city.
At SunCrest Blooms, we’re grateful for every client who chooses us, and we give back to the community by partnering with local vendors and providing flowers for charitable events. Supporting local helps keep St. Louis vibrant and allows our small businesses to thrive. A few of the local flower farmers that we love to support include Bi-State Blooms, Urban Buds, and City House Country Mouse.
4. Quick and Reliable same-day flower Delivery
Need flowers delivered on short notice? At SunCrest Blooms, we can often provide same-day delivery. Our services reflect a level of reliability and care that big-name companies often can’t match. We hand-deliver every bouquet to ensure it arrives fresh, arranged as intended, and ready to make an impression. This personal approach also allows us to communicate directly with recipients if any details change, which larger flower delivery networks often lack.
5. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices
Choosing local doesn’t just mean you’re supporting your community; it’s also an eco-friendly choice. With fewer delivery miles, less packaging, and a commitment to sourcing sustainable materials, local florists can reduce waste and environmental impact. At SunCrest Blooms, we prioritize using locally grown flowers, reusable and biodegradable materials and work with seasonal blooms to create arrangements that are as kind to the earth as they are beautiful.
Did you know we also grow many of the flowers we use in bouquets and arrangements? We have a small flower farm at our studio and grow specialty cut flowers such as tulips, peonies, ranunculus, roses and dahlias, right here in St. Louis. This not only means a smaller carbon footprint for you, the consumer, and us, the business, but also means larger, stronger flowers to use in each order you place. When you place an order, we can often go right to the field to cut the flowers for your arrangement, allowing us to provide same-day flower delivery in St. Louis. We pride ourselves in offering the best of the best and we also partner with other local flower farms to provide an even greater variety of locally-grown blooms.
Bringing Joy to St. Louis, One Bouquet at a Time
When you order from a local florist like SunCrest Blooms, you’re doing more than simply purchasing flowers — you’re creating a lasting impact. Every arrangement we deliver is carefully crafted, hand-delivered with love, and backed by a team who truly cares about making your occasion unforgettable. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to brighten someone’s day, going local with your flower delivery brings more meaning to every petal and every bloom.
Thank you for helping us keep St. Louis blossoming!
