How do I send birthday flowers to someone's office?
The Short Answer
For an office delivery, choose a compact, desk-friendly arrangement with low fragrance and give the recipient's full name, company, and business address plus a daytime phone number. Order a day ahead and aim for late-morning delivery so the flowers arrive during work hours; expect to spend $45 to $90.

Choosing the right arrangement for a desk
Workplace flowers should be easy to display and easy to carry home. A compact vase arrangement that fits on a desk corner is ideal, and low-fragrance blooms are considerate in shared office air. Keep the height moderate so it does not block a monitor or crowd a small workspace, and choose a sturdy container that travels well at the end of the day. Cheerful, professional-looking designs in mixed color work for almost anyone. Our designers at Bentley Florist can build a tidy, bright piece that celebrates without being over the top, which is usually the right note for a coworker or an employee you are recognizing on their birthday.
Delivery logistics that prevent mishaps
Getting the details right matters more with office delivery than home delivery. Provide the recipient's full name, the exact company name, the complete street address including suite or floor, and any front-desk or reception instructions. A daytime phone number for the recipient or the office helps the driver if there is any confusion. Aim for late-morning to early-afternoon delivery so someone is there to receive it and the recipient can enjoy it during the workday. Avoid Friday-afternoon or end-of-day timing, since flowers may sit over a weekend. If the office closes early or has secured access, let your florist know so the driver can plan around it.
Etiquette and budget
Office birthday flowers strike a friendly, professional tone, so keep the card message warm but appropriate for a workplace where colleagues may see it. If you are sending on behalf of a team, list everyone or the department name on the card. A tasteful arrangement in the $45 to $90 range is right for most office occasions — generous enough to feel special without being awkwardly extravagant. If you are recognizing an employee, coordinating with a manager or HR can ensure the timing lines up with any in-office celebration. Same-area delivery around Burton and Genesee County is simple with a day's notice.
