Orders & Delivery
Everything you need to know about placing, receiving, and tracking your floral orders across the DMV.
Delivery is available throughout the DMV, including Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Delivery fees vary based on location and arrangement size. If you're unsure whether a destination is within the service area, reach out through the Connect page for confirmation.
Standard arrangements are best ordered at least 24 to 48 hours in advance. Larger designs, custom commissions, and event florals may require additional preparation time. During peak occasions such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and the holiday season, placing an order one to two weeks in advance is recommended.
Preferred delivery windows can be included with your order, and every effort will be made to accommodate them. Exact delivery times cannot be guaranteed due to traffic, weather, and route scheduling. If a significant delay is expected, you'll be contacted as soon as possible.
Arrangements are intentionally designed with care and are not typically available for same-day delivery. On occasion, exceptions may be made based on availability and the nature of the request. If you have a time-sensitive order, connect before placing your order to discuss available options.
When it is safe to do so, arrangements will be left in a secure, sheltered location. A delivery notification will be sent once the order has been completed. If you have a preferred drop-off location, include those details when placing your order.

Weddings
Discover our bespoke personal wedding flowers, designed exclusively for the wedding party through a collaborative, thoughtful process.
Nairobi Soleil specializes in bespoke personal wedding flowers designed for the wedding party. Offerings include bridal bouquets, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower girl florals, and other custom personal floral pieces. Services are intentionally limited to personal wedding florals and do not include ceremony or reception floral design, installations, or event décor.
Every bridal arrangement begins with a consultation where you'll have the opportunity to share your wedding vision, color palette, floral preferences, inspiration, attire, and any other details you'd like incorporated into your flowers. The consultation is a collaborative design process focused on creating bespoke arrangements that complement your wedding style. Following the consultation, you'll receive a personalized proposal within 24 hours outlining your custom floral design and pricing. Once approved and payment is received, your order will be confirmed and scheduled.
Bridal flowers should ideally be reserved 4 to 6 weeks before your wedding date. Earlier inquiries are encouraged during peak wedding season to help ensure availability and allow time for the consultation and design process.
