The Westmount Florist That Has Been Delivering Across Montreal for Six Decades
With Thanksgiving tables cleared and the first frosty mornings arriving, Montreal's florists are bracing for the busiest stretch of their year. Between now and the end of December come birthdays, dinner parties, holiday gatherings and office celebrations, and plenty of Montrealers will be ordering flowers to mark them.
For more than 60 years, Westmount Florist has been part of that rhythm. From its shops in Westmount's Victoria Village and in Pointe-Claire, the business offers same-day flower delivery across the island of Montreal and well beyond, reaching Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore with its own fleet of delivery trucks.
A Local Shop With an Island-Wide Reach
Plenty of flower orders in Montreal travel only a few streets. Westmount Florist charges just $4.50 to deliver within walking distance of its Victoria Village and Pointe-Claire shops, and $9.95 elsewhere in Westmount and Pointe-Claire. Further afield, deliveries reach Downtown, the Plateau, NDG, Outremont and Verdun, as well as Dorval, Kirkland and Longueuil, with fees on the island staying under $20.
Running its own vans, rather than relying on a wire service, means the flowers that leave the shop are the ones that arrive at the door. It also explains why the business does not offer international delivery. The focus is firmly on Montreal and the surrounding region.
Flowers for Every Occasion
The range covers almost every reason Montrealers send flowers. There are bouquets and vase arrangements for birthdays and anniversaries, cheerful designs for new babies and congratulations, and thoughtful pieces for get-well wishes and sympathy. Roses, orchids and sunflowers sit alongside seasonal designs, and flowering plants offer a longer-lasting option for those who prefer a gift that keeps going.
Blooms are sourced from both local and international growers, which helps keep the shelves full and varied even in the depths of a Quebec winter. For those who like fresh flowers at home all year round, a subscription service brings new arrangements on a regular schedule.
Trusted by Thousands of Montrealers
The shop's reputation is reflected in more than 1,000 Google reviews and a 4.9-star average, a rare figure for a business handling deliveries at that volume. It also designs flowers for Montreal weddings and events, from intimate celebrations to larger corporate occasions.
Customers can order online, by phone or in person, with customer support available on weekdays from early morning until the evening.
Tips for Ordering in the Busy Season
As the holidays approach, a little planning goes a long way. Order early in the day for same-day delivery, and earlier still in the week before Christmas, when demand peaks. Double-check apartment numbers and buzzer codes, which are a common cause of delays in Montreal's many walk-ups and condo buildings. And if the recipient might be out, add a phone number so the driver can arrange a safe drop-off.
Bouquets start at $65 and vase arrangements at $85, with flowering plants from $60, making it easy to choose something to suit the occasion and the budget.
After six decades of brightening homes, offices and celebrations across the city, Westmount Florist remains a familiar name in Montreal, and the vans will be busier than ever over the weeks ahead.
