What Marquis Flower Shop Offers and How to Order from marquisflowers.com
Updated
Marquis Flower Shop (marquisflowers.com) is a local flower shop in Lethbridge, Alberta, that sells fresh flowers, custom arrangements, and gift add-ons, with online ordering and same-day delivery on orders placed before 1pm. It is a practical option if you need flowers delivered in Lethbridge on short notice, or if you want to combine a bouquet with chocolates, a plush, or balloons in one order. Prices are listed in Canadian dollars (CAD) for Canada.
What the shop sells
The catalog is organized around occasions and flower types rather than a single product list, so you can start from either direction.

Two things stand out for planning purposes. First, the Florist's Choice option is useful when you don't have a specific arrangement in mind — you pick the category and let the shop build it. Second, the sympathy and funeral range is unusually broad for a local shop, covering everything from a simple sympathy bouquet to casket sprays and wreaths, which matters if you're ordering for a service on a fixed date.
Same-day delivery: the one rule to know
The site states same-day delivery is available on orders placed before 1pm. That cutoff is the main constraint on the whole ordering process:
- Order before 1pm → same-day delivery is available.
- Order after 1pm → plan for a later delivery date rather than same-day.
The cutoff is stated in the shop's own delivery banner, so treat 1pm as the working deadline and order earlier if the delivery is time-sensitive (a funeral, a birthday). The site does not publish delivery fees or a delivery-radius map in the material available, so confirm the fee and whether your recipient's address is covered before checkout — by phone at (403) 327-1515 if it isn't shown during checkout.
How to place an order
- Choose a starting point. Browse by occasion (e.g., Birthday, Sympathy & Funeral), by flower type or colour, or go straight to Best Sellers or Florist's Choice if you want the shop to decide the design.
- Add extras if you want them. Balloons, chocolates, plush, a vase, wine, or a greeting card can be attached to the order from the Extra Touches section.
- Set the delivery details. Enter the recipient's address and preferred delivery date. If you're ordering before 1pm and need it today, select the same-day option.
- Check the currency and region. The site defaults to Canada (CAD $); confirm this is correct so you're not surprised by the currency at checkout.
- Complete checkout online, or call (403) 327-1515 if you'd rather order by phone or need help with a custom arrangement.
To verify the order worked: after checkout you should receive an order confirmation, and the delivery should arrive on the date you selected. If you ordered close to the 1pm cutoff, a quick phone call to confirm the same-day slot is the safest check.
Common snags and how to handle them
- Missing the 1pm cutoff. The most common issue. If you're past 1pm, order for the next available day rather than assuming same-day will still go through.
- Funeral and sympathy timing. These orders are date-critical. Order as early in the day as possible and call the shop to confirm the arrangement will reach the service on time.
- Custom arrangements. The site advertises custom arrangements but doesn't spell out a custom-order form. For something outside the listed catalog, call (403) 327-1515 and describe what you want — budget, colours, flower type — and ask what's possible for your date.
- Delivery area and fees. Not documented in the available site material. Confirm both before finalizing, especially for addresses outside Lethbridge.
- Account and login. The site has a login option, but you don't need an account to browse; whether guest checkout is available isn't stated, so be ready to create one if prompted.
Who this shop suits
Marquis Flower Shop fits you if you need Lethbridge delivery, often same-day, and want a local florist rather than a national wire service — with the option to bundle flowers with a gift basket, balloons, or a plush in a single order. It's also a strong fit for sympathy and funeral flowers, given the range of wreaths, sprays, and packages. If you're ordering from outside Canada, check the currency and any international payment or delivery limits with the shop directly before ordering.
