Veldkamp’s Flowers
Voted Denver’s Best Florist
Veldkamp’s Flowers is a third generation, family owned & operated floral design firm. The Veldkamp family are long time residents of the Denver area. We operate a gorgeous floral design center in Lakewood, just minutes from downtown Denver. Our firm offers the best selection of farm fresh flowers and plants in town. If you stop in to visit our floral design center, we also have a really nice selection of occasion themed gifts. We have years of experience in designing and delivering traditional fresh cut flower arrangements. Our award winning floral design staff also creates luxurious, upscale wedding and event flowers. Veldkamp’s Flowers offers the best selection of sympathy flowers in the Denver market. Flowers are one of the top gifts for people celebrating life’s magic moments. When you order a fresh flower arrangement from us, we back it with our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
Veldkamp’s has been in business since 1959. We have one of the very best delivery teams in the business. Our firm makes daily delivery runs to all hospitals across the greater Denver metro area. People who need to send a get well arrangement, plant or gift to an area hospital can select from either local same day, or express flower delivery service. Need to send the arrangement outside of the Denver area? No problem. We also offer nationwide same day flower delivery. For those that need our sympathy flower service, we offer a beautiful selection of standing sprays, casket flowers, fireside baskets, urn flowers, flowering plants and more. Local same day and express delivery service is available to all area churches, mortuaries, funeral homes and cemeteries.
We buy many of the flowers we sell direct from domestic and international flower farms. Buying direct offers lots of great advantages. When you buy direct, it lowers our overall cost to purchase the flowers. That allows us to pass along those savings to our customers. It also reduces the time between when the flowers are cut at the farm, and when they are shipped to our flower shop for use. Reducing that time frame means the flowers arrive in Denver, fresher than those we might have to buy from a wholesaler.
Local Same Day & Express Delivery
Veldkamp’s Flowers offers local same-day and express flower delivery service. Our local delivery area is the largest among the flower shops operating in the market. Every single floral bouquet our artisans create is backed by our on-time delivery guarantee. We also provide a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee with each flower arrangement as well. If for any reason you don’t absolutely love the fresh flower bouquet we create and deliver for you, just contact our floral design center. We will design and deliver another bouquet, of equal or greater value, absolutely free of charge.
Nationwide Same Day Flower Delivery
If you need to send flowers to someone who resides outside of our local delivery area, we encourage you to opt for our nationwide same day delivery service option. We have developed a hand selected network of floral design partners around the country. Our staff works directly with these vendor partners to accomplish same day deliveries across the United States. Every arrangement, whether scheduled for local or nationwide delivery, is guaranteed for on-time arrival. Each design is also backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Celebrate Floral Design Day on February 28th
Floral design is really art. Like painting and other creative endeavors, floral design involves creativity and offers the viewer something that shows emotions and feelings without words. Arranging flowers and greenery a certain way can evoke love, friendship, caring, forgiveness, celebration, and sympathy. It can enhance the ambiance at an event like a wedding or party as well as offer comfort in times of sadness. For centuries, people have been arranging flowers and displaying them or giving them to others. This is why Floral Design Day on February 28th became an official national occasion day in 1995 although it was long celebrated prior to that. Here in Denver, we love our floral designers. We know we have the best in the area and are proud of their floral craftsmanship. They are the most experienced and creative in Denver. Our floral artists have numerous collections to share with you, including some new designs coming up for Spring, including Easter, as well as for weddings, special occasions, and the 2021 holiday season. This includes the exclusive floral designs that they have created, which you cannot find at any other Denver flower shop, online florist, or grocery store floral section. In this collection, you will see floral design at its finest, including unique floral and greenery choices combined with each other, including many botanical elements or tropical flowers. They also know how to use special containers to add depth and interest to their floral designs. Besides buying flowers on Floral Design Day or donating some flowers to local Denver hospitals or senior centers, there are other ways to recognize this special occasion day. Let your favorite floral designer know how much you love what they do. You could also take an online floral design class or attend an in-person flower arrangement workshop. Other ideas include planting flowers around your house or at a community garden in and around the Denver area. This shows how you appreciate Nature and want to give back by planting more flowers. It also makes your community more beautiful. Lastly, if you are creative and like other types of artistic mediums, use flowers as your inspiration for a painting, drawing, photograph, needlework, or quilt. Flowers in any form can add cheer and positivity to a room as well as make others smile. Thank you for supporting us and our incredible floral design team!
