For our freshest, most beautiful blooms, please shop our Florist’s Choice options, as we may be experiencing
delays in receiving shipments of certain flower types.
Please note that for all other orders, we may need to replace stems so we can deliver the freshest bouquet possible, and we may have to use a different vase.
We promise to always deliver a fresh, beautiful, and completely one-of-a-kind gift of the same or greater value as what you selected.
Deliveries may also be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. Rest assured that we are taking all recommended precautions to ensure customer satisfaction and safety.
Delivery impacts may include:
Restricted deliveries to hospitals or nursing homes
Restricted deliveries to office buildings
Restricted access to certain regional areas
In addition, we may be using “no contact” delivery procedures. After confirming that the
recipient is available to accept, their gift will be left at the door and the delivery driver will step back a
safe distance to ensure they receive their gift.
Please see our About Us page for more details. We appreciate
your understanding and support!

Depends what you're sorry for. Forgot something? Cheerful mixed bouquets work. Said something hurtful? Roses (pink or white, not red unless it's romantic). Major screw-up? Orchids or premium arrangements show you're taking it seriously. Plants for long-term apologies where you need to prove you'll do better. The Charlotte rule according to Lovingly Charlotte: bigger mistake = bigger flowers. But honestly, any flowers beat no flowers when you're trying to apologize.
Home is usually safer unless you know they like public gestures. Work flowers can be awkward if they're still mad - everyone asking oh who sent those? while they're fuming isn't helpful. But if things are cooling off, work delivery lets everyone know you're trying to make things right. Lovingly Charlotte delivers all over Charlotte, NC to both. Consider the person - private people prefer home delivery, people who like attention might appreciate the office gesture. When in doubt, send to their home where they can react privately.
The sweet spot is 24-48 hours. Too soon (like an hour after the fight) feels like you're trying to buy your way out without really thinking about what you did. Too late and they've already decided you don't care. Lovingly Charlotte sees a lot of next-day orders in Charlotte - enough time to cool down, not so much that resentment builds. For forgotten occasions (anniversaries, birthdays), send immediately with free same-day delivery. For bigger issues, flowers can come after the initial apology conversation, showing you're still thinking about it.
They're probably not, but they're a start. Think of flowers as the opening act, not the whole show. They show effort and get your foot in the door for the real apology. Lovingly Charlotte delivers flowers, not miracles - you still need to actually apologize, change the behavior, and make things right. Some Charlotte customers send flowers multiple times - first Im sorry bouquet, then thank you for forgiving me arrangement later, then random just because flowers to show you're still trying. Flowers plus genuine change equals actual forgiveness. But yeah, start with the flowers.
