Flower delivery in Hollywood, Florida

Hollywood is a coastal city in south Broward County, between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. For flower senders, the most important thing to know is the shared hospital campus: Memorial Regional Hospital, a public hospital and Level I trauma center, sits next to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.

The two have different rules. Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital does not allow flowers at all. Memorial Regional allows flowers on most floors but not in the Intensive Care Unit or some children's units. Neither allows latex balloons; mylar is fine at both.

Same-day delivery in Hollywood

Same-day delivery in Hollywood generally means ordering by 2 p.m. Eastern time on a weekday. Weekends and holidays close earlier and carry no guarantee.

For a home address, include the full name, unit number, and a mobile number. Many buildings near the beach have front desks that sign for deliveries, and many neighborhoods inland have gates. A short delivery note about access saves the driver time.

Heat is a real concern here for most of the year. A bouquet left on a balcony or in a sunny entryway does not last long, so ask for a hand-off or send when someone is home. During hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30, approaching storms can delay or cancel deliveries for a day or two.

Flowers for every occasion in Hollywood

For a child in the hospital

Skip flowers. A mylar balloon, a book or a card from classmates are all welcome. Our get-well guide has ideas for patients who can't have flowers, and card message ideas help with kids.

For an adult at Memorial Regional

Ask the family whether the patient is in the ICU. If not, a small vase arrangement from a local florist is fine; if the unit says no, send it to the home after discharge.

Other occasions

Birthday flowers, romantic flowers, thank-you flowers and sympathy flowers all cover what to choose. Nearby: Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
