About us

Toms River Florist — About, Contact & Local Delivery

Toms River Florist is a family-owned and operated flower studio in Toms River, New Jersey. We are a true local florist — not a call center, not a wire service, and not an out-of-state order broker. We design and deliver flowers locally, right here in Ocean County, New Jersey.

We provide same-day flower delivery in Toms River and throughout Ocean County. Every bouquet is artfully custom-designed by our family — skilled floral designers with a combined 120 years of experience. You’re part of our family now, and we want you to be thrilled. Our floral art always looks fresh, intentional, and right for the moment — birthdays, anniversaries, get-well, new baby, weddings, sympathy and funeral flowers, and celebration-of-life tributes — crafted with high-quality, hand-selected flowers and thoughtful design.

Our Freshness & Happiness Promise
We want you to be thrilled. If you are not happy with the value, quality, or freshness of your floral art creation, please call us right away and we will make it right. Your trust matters to us.

Where to Find Us

Please keep in mind we are a floral studio. We do not sell loose stems, and we do not pre-make arrangements. Every flower arrangement or gift is custom, made from scratch to order, to ensure top quality and freshness. Because we focus on floral delivery throughout Toms River and the surrounding Ocean County communities, we may not always have someone available at the counter — please call for an appointment before visiting.

Monday–Friday: 7:00 am – 5:00 pm

Note: We start answering phones and designing at 7:00 am because same-day sympathy and funeral flower delivery in Toms River, nearby churches, and local funeral homes is often time-sensitive.

Same-Day & Rush Delivery

• Same-day cutoff: generally 1:00 pm Eastern for local delivery in Toms River, NJ and surrounding Ocean County towns.

• Funeral needs: if you just learned about a wake, visitation, memorial, or funeral service and it’s happening this morning or early afternoon, call us at (732) 401-9545 as soon as possible. We specialize in urgent, same-day funeral flowers in Toms River and nearby communities.
• Weather & safety: during severe weather or road closures, we’ll deliver as soon as conditions allow. We will usually text the recipient of the order to arrange the best delivery situation for them.

Delivery Charge Only – We Never Add Additional Fees

• Local delivery fee: $17.95 per address (standard).
• Extended-area delivery: don’t order online — please call the studio with your needs and details at (732) 401-9545; this is often the most economical way to go, especially for outlying parts of Ocean County and nearby towns.
• If the recipient isn’t home: we may call/text, leave with a neighbor, or place in a safe, shaded spot when weather permits. For gated buildings, please include the gate code in your order. Apartments may require contacting the recipient, as leaving flowers or gifts at an apartment door can lead to theft.
• Sunday delivery: Do not order online — call (732) 401-9545. Sunday deliveries may require a single-truck special delivery charge and a Sunday minimum order; we’ll always do our best to get it done.

We are transparent: We never stack surprise “service fees,” “handling fees,” or “processing fees” like national brokers. Just the flowers you ordered and the local delivery.

Daily Institutional Delivery

Please include department/room, service times, and access notes.

• Hospitals / Medical Centers: We deliver flowers daily to Community Medical Center in Toms River, Ocean University Medical Center in Brick, and Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood. Please provide the patient’s full name and room number. Most ICU units will not accept flowers, so it’s usually best to wait until the patient is moved to a regular room.
• Funeral Homes & Houses of Worship: We design and deliver funeral flowers every day to local funeral homes in Toms River, Brick, and surrounding Ocean County, as well as services held in churches, chapels, temples, and other places of worship.
• Schools / Universities: We provide same-day flower delivery for Toms River Regional Schools and nearby districts in Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River — plus Ocean County College and Kean Ocean. Please include school name, department, and who to ask for in the office.
• Care & Rehabilitation: We frequently deliver to assisted living, senior communities, and skilled-nursing facilities in Toms River and Brick.

For same-day, time-sensitive funeral services — including viewings, visitations, memorials, and celebrations of life — don’t order online. Just call us at (732) 401-9545 as soon as we open at 7:00 am to try to pull off an early service the same day you’re ordering. Definitely do it the fast way — call us.

Our Design Process

We are a floral design studio. We create every single arrangement from scratch using only fresh flowers flown in from all over the world. We never pre-make “grab-and-go” arrangements, and we are not a bucket shop that just sells stems. Instead, we focus on custom, one-of-a-kind floral designs, and our priorities are freshness, quality, and value — every time.

We have never made the same arrangement twice. Our floral creations are truly art.

If you see a flower arrangement you like on this website, please understand we treat that image as inspiration, not a duplication. Containers, colors, flowers, and design elements will vary due to seasonal availability and artistic interpretation. All flowers, plants, and gifts are filled to the value you select.

This includes birthday arrangements, anniversary flowers, new baby gifts, get-well flowers for local hospitals, sympathy and funeral flowers for services in Toms River and Ocean County, and wedding flowers for ceremonies and receptions in the Toms River / Jersey Shore area.

Order Changes & Cancellations

Please be as accurate as you can when placing an order on our site, and please provide us with any gate codes or any other important delivery information required to complete your delivery. If you have placed an order online and later find there is an issue, please call us immediately. We open early at 7:00 am — call us so we can try to edit your order quickly.

Keep in mind: once the order is on the truck, it is nearly impossible to redirect it, and at that point the order cannot be canceled. However, we will do our best to resolve the issue or set up a new delivery.

If an address is inaccurate or access is restricted, we’ll reach out to you to get the correct missing information and reattempt or reschedule delivery. In some cases, an additional $17.95 will be added to your order.

Valentine’s Day orders cannot be canceled or changed within 48 hours prior to Valentine’s Day.

Nationwide & International

We can assist with U.S. and international deliveries via trusted florist partners we have relationships with. Styles and pricing vary by region. For the best results on international orders, please call (732) 401-9545 and we’ll walk you through realistic expectations and timing.

Quick Answers (FAQs)

• What’s the same-day cutoff?
Generally 1:00 pm Eastern — but if you need something and you’re in a fix, just call us at (732) 401-9545. One of our family members is always in the studio during regular business hours, and we’ll do our best to help.

• Do you deliver on Sundays?
It can be done. However, your best bet is to call us at (732) 401-9545. Don’t order online, as Sunday deliveries may have a single-truck special delivery charge that can vary, and there are Sunday minimum orders — but we’ll always do our best to get it done.

• Can I request a specific time?
No. We only do specific guaranteed times for funeral-related services or similar time-sensitive services. We will always do our best to accommodate a part of the day (for example: “morning,” “before 3 pm,” “after school pickup”) if possible, but that is not a guarantee and should never be understood as a guarantee.
If you have a hard time requirement, order as early as possible and do not place the order online. Always call us at (732) 401-9545, tell us the details, and we will give you an honest answer about whether your request is even possible. Other than funerals, any and all timing requests are never guaranteed. We would rather not take your order than promise something we can’t deliver.

• Do you call recipients?
We most likely will not call a recipient, because most people do not answer a phone number they don’t recognize. However, we may need to text the recipient on your order to clarify delivery details, or they may get a text telling them that flowers were left at their door. We generally will not have a live phone conversation with the recipient unless they call us back to clarify a delivery or give important location information we need to complete the delivery.

• What if no one’s home?
Our driver will assess each delivery situation individually. If the location is covered and out of direct sun, we may leave the flowers at the door and text the recipient to let them know their gift is waiting (weather permitting). Another option is leaving the order with a neighbor who may know the recipient. We may also reattempt delivery later in the route if that’s possible, or we may reschedule a new delivery if the recipient requests it or is not available. Please keep in mind flowers are not a parcel — they are a delicate, perishable creation — so sometimes we need to be creative. We are very good at getting beautiful flowers delivered safely.

• Do you deliver to hospitals, schools, and businesses?
Yes — we deliver to hospitals, medical facilities, schools, office buildings, and other workplaces in Toms River and throughout Ocean County, New Jersey. Please include full details and any restrictions. For hospitals, include the patient’s full name and room number. Keep in mind most ICU units will not accept flowers, so it’s usually best to wait until the patient has been moved to a regular room. For businesses, please provide a suite number, department name, and floor if that applies so we can reach the right person quickly.

• Can you match an inspiration photo?
No. The truth is: no florist and no third-party flower broker can guarantee an exact match to a product photo you see online. Flowers are seasonal, colors change, containers go in and out of stock, and every floral designer has a different level of style and talent.
We believe in being honest about that. Most online floral websites hide their substitution policy in the fine print. Not us. We require you to check a box before you can place your order, acknowledging that you understand we design — we do not duplicate the exact arrangement or gift in the photo. That’s why we call the photo an “inspiration,” not a “duplication.”
If you want specifics like certain flowers, certain colors, or a particular container, just call us at (732) 401-9545 during regular business hours. One of our family floral artists will tell you truthfully what’s fresh and in season that day, and then we’ll do what we’ve done for decades: create a fresh, custom, one-of-a-kind arrangement for you.
