Ottawa has no shortage of flower shops, from century-old storefronts on Elgin Street to family-run counters in Nepean strip malls. This list was put together by reading customer reviews, checking each shop's own site, and cross-referencing ratings across Google, Yelp, and eFlorist to find ten Ottawa florists that are actually operating right now and consistently well regarded.
1. Nectar Flowers Ottawa
Area: Ottawa-wide, same-day delivery · Specialty: everyday bouquets and full-service weddings
Nectar says it has filled more than 65,000 orders and collected over 850 five-star reviews, with a design team trained at floral schools in Canada, Europe, and the US. Customers point to the consistency of the arrangements and the shop's willingness to take on full wedding and corporate floral packages, not just single bouquets. It suits anyone who wants a polished, modern arrangement ordered online rather than picked out in person.
2. Alta Vista Flowers
Area: Alta Vista and Ottawa-wide delivery · Specialty: hand-built everyday and sympathy arrangements · Rating: 4.7 on Google (920+ reviews) · Since: 1995
This family-owned shop on Bank Street has built every arrangement in-house since the mid-1990s, and three decades of grower relationships mean they get first pick of fresh stock each week. Reviewers highlight the reliability of the flowers holding up well past delivery day. It's a solid choice for sympathy and get-well orders where longevity matters as much as the initial look.
3. Scrim's Florist
Area: Centretown, Elgin Street · Specialty: custom hand-tied bouquets and fair-trade cut flowers · Since: 1874
Scrim's bills itself as Ottawa's oldest florist, still family-run out of its Elgin Street storefront with original artwork on the walls passed down through generations. Customers describe the staff as knowledgeable and accommodating even for large, last-minute requests like wedding garlands. It's the pick for anyone who wants an old-school, in-person flower shop experience over an online-first operation.
4. Beaudry Flowers
Area: Ottawa-wide, Industrial Avenue storefront · Specialty: wedding and event florals · Rating: 4.8 on Birdeye (333 reviews)
Beaudry has been in business since 1990 and has grown into one of the larger flower operations in the city, with a greenhouse alongside its retail shop. Reviewers consistently call out the bespoke feel of the bouquets and the speed of delivery, along with fair pricing for the quality. It's a strong fit for weddings and events that need volume without sacrificing individual design work.
5. Ottawa Flowers Inc.
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Manotick, Gatineau · Specialty: wedding and event floral rentals · Rating: 4.2 on Reviews.io (926 reviews)
Based on Bank Street downtown, Ottawa Flowers Inc. offers free same-day delivery across a wide swath of the region, not just the core. Alongside standard bouquets, they run a full event rental arm for weddings, which sets them apart from smaller counter-only shops. It suits customers planning a larger event who want florals and rental decor handled by one vendor.
6. Vivian Flowers
Area: Nepean and Ottawa-wide · Specialty: bridal bouquets and wedding ceremony flowers · Rating: 4.9 on eFlorist (426 reviews) · Since: 2003
Vivian Flowers has operated out of Merivale Road for over two decades and remains family owned and operated. Reviewers frequently mention the shop handling last-minute or same-day requests without cutting corners on quality, and pricing that stays reasonable relative to competitors. It's a good option for Nepean-area residents who want a neighbourhood florist rather than a citywide delivery brand.
7. Bloomfields Flowers
Area: The Glebe, Bank Street · Specialty: garden-style and corporate floral design · Rating: 4.8 on Google (199 reviews) · Since: 1996
Bloomfields started as a Toronto studio designing for corporate clients, weddings, and events before its founder, Virginia Vince, opened the Glebe storefront in 2001. Customers describe the shop as a neighbourhood fixture, with staff praised for creativity and going beyond a standard order. A minority of reviews flag it as pricier than other options in the city, so it suits shoppers prioritizing design over budget.
8. Talia Flowers
Area: Alta Vista and Ottawa-wide delivery · Specialty: everyday arrangements, plants, and gifts · Rating: 4.7 on eFlorist (271 reviews)
Talia Flowers runs a Bank Street storefront and online shop offering arrangements sorted by colour and occasion, alongside plants and gift add-ons. It's family owned, and reviewers describe the service as friendly and prompt with a wide selection for browsing online before ordering. It suits shoppers who want to see a full catalogue of options rather than call in a custom order.
9. Ottawa Blooms
Area: Ottawa-wide delivery · Specialty: same-day and rush arrangements
Ottawa Blooms is run by owner Machiko, and reviewers consistently point to fast turnaround, often completing orders within a couple of hours for last-minute requests. Customers also note the pricing sits below several other Ottawa shops for comparable quality. It's a practical pick when a bouquet is needed same-day and budget is a factor.
10. The Ottawa Flower Shop
Area: Ottawa-wide · Specialty: bouquets, sympathy flowers, and gift baskets
The Ottawa Flower Shop is a smaller, locally owned boutique offering same-day delivery alongside gift baskets, fruit baskets, and chocolates as add-ons to a floral order. Reviewers single out individual staff for going the extra mile on service and for keeping prices fair. It suits customers who want a flower order bundled with a broader gift rather than flowers alone.
