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.

Add Color and Cheer on Poinsettia Day
Poinsettia Day is one of the many events during the holiday season where you can really get into the spirit of giving. With more people stuck at home and the ongoing sense of isolation that the pandemic has caused, it's nice to send a thoughtful gift that shows you care. This Saturday, December 12th is a good day to do that. It's Poinsettia Day and it may surprise your recipient who is not expecting to receive anything! Our Denver flower shop and garden center is here to help you pull of that thoughtful gift and celebration of the poinsettia, which has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Christmas after the Christmas tree, of course! We offer same day local contactless delivery on our fresh poinsettias in shades of red, white, and even our special Jingle Bell poinsettia, just a couple of the hundred varieties of poinsettia plant! These poinsettia plants are available in different sizes and can be displayed in many types of containers, such as baskets and ceramic containers. These beautiful perennials are easy to care for and don't need much maintenance. This allows them to bloom throughout the season and even potentially re-bloom during the next holiday season. As a long-lasting gift, your recipient will continually pinks of you every time they look at or water their poinsettia. Because they are such a universally recognized Christmas symbol and are so bright and merry, poinsettias make a great gift for just about everyone -- family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, clients, teachers, and service personnel. You might even consider donating poinsettias to local businesses and charities who may not have as much money to decorate this year. Even first responders might appreciate this gift of cheer. This gift not only adds cheer but helps your recipient enhance their own Christmas decor. These plants go with virtually all different styles of holiday decor, which makes them an ideal addition. And, if you have the time and interest, you can do even more on Poinsettia Day to recognize this special day. This includes creating some art, Christmas tree decorations, light displays, sugar cookies, and drinks inspired by the color and look of the poinsettia plant! You can enjoy these items yourself or also gift them to others in your life. Plus, many of these activities are good for getting the entire family involved! Call us or order online to get your poinsettia plants now so you and your recipients can experience more joy throughout the entire holiday season!

Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas — From Cornucopias to Floral Displays
Thanksgiving will arrive on Thursday, November 26th. Are you ready or are you still looking for some decorating ideas? Decorating your home for Thanksgiving with beautiful centerpieces and bouquets is a way to add warmth and cheer for those spending this special day with you. It adds color and visual interest to your Thanksgiving table and throughout your home to enhance the seasonal ambiance, making it cozy and warm, elegant, or however else you want it to feel. Our Denver flower shop floral design team has come up with some of the most stunning floral designs for Thanksgiving and the holidays this year. We can't wait to share them all with you. Many floral designs are pictured in this post. You can see the rest online in our Thanksgiving collection or by visiting our Denver flower shop location. Some of these photos show custom Thanksgiving floral designs so you can see what's possible should you decide to work with our floral design team. These examples of Thanksgiving centerpieces and floral displays for the home, including the family/gathering room, kitchen, guest rooms, and foyer also illustrate the range of style possibilities, sizes, color choices, and prices. There is truly something for everyone -- from elegant white floral masterpieces to rustic and charming like cornucopias to traditional candle centerpieces with fall accents to colorful and whimsical displays. What you choose can create a certain overall effect that is enhanced by everything you bring together -- from table linens to dish ware to place cards. Don't forget candles or other mood lighting that fits the scale and size of your Thanksgiving table and dining space. Don't forget to also consider adding wreaths and garlands. Choose from fall or holiday styles, depending what you plan to do over the Thanksgiving holidays. Many of you use the time to transition to Christmas or Hanukkah displays. Whatever you decide, make sure you create something that personifies your style so you feel at home as you celebrate with friends, family, or both. You may also want to use different styles in various rooms like small bouquets in guest rooms and bathrooms to larger floral displays in a gathering or great room that offers the space to showcase more florals and plants.

One-of-a-Kind Floral Designs For Your Special Veteran
Veterans Day is November 11th, and it is a special day where we stop and pay tribute to all those on active duty and those we have lost who have given themselves to ensure our freedom and security as a nation and for all of us as citizens. We think those from the armed forces, including the Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard, which include men and women we count as American heroes. Although we may not be having a Veterans Day parade here in Denver or other public festivities or ceremonies, we can still let our veterans know we appreciate and honor them. If you know veterans, then you can call them or send them a letter. It's even nice to volunteer and send letters or notes to veterans you don't know personally. You may be able to go visit a veteran or do a drive-by parade in their honor past a residence or care facilities for veterans. And, for those veterans living or who have passed away, patriotic flowers are always a special way to show your appreciation. These red, white, and blue arrangements often include mini flags to enhance the sense of national pride on such an important occasion. We offer vases, bouquets, baskets, standing sprays, and wreaths. These are all ideal for Veterans Day. Our delivery options include contactless services for local area residences, mortuaries, and cemeteries. You can also pick up your Veterans Day order from our Denver flower shop. Order options include in-person, by phone, or through our website. Although all of our patriotic collection choices are beautiful, including our vase arrangements, we have one other option for you to personalize what you order for this Veterans Day. That is our custom floral design service. All you need to do is schedule a time to come down to our Denver flower shop or talk with our designers by phone. Once you have an appointment, you can work with our incredibly talented floral designers on a special bouquet, basket, spray, or other commemorative floral display for a special veteran in your life. We want to assure you that it is safe to visit our Denver florist location and garden center because we have taken all the health and safety precautions necessary to protect you, our other customers, and our staff. From all of us at Veldkamp's, we want to thank all of our veterans in Denver and around the country for their service and dedication to our country and its freedom.
Make Special Thanksgiving Memories with Floral Decor and More
This year, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26th. While it may seem different this year because fewer people may be traveling to get together, it can still be a memorable time with family and friends. Whether you are planning a Thanksgiving event or are unable to attend another one but want to send something special, your favorite Denver florist can help during this holiday season. From Thanksgiving flowers to Thanksgiving centerpieces, here are some ideas to decorate and show your gratitude: Traditional Hues and Motifs There is great comfort in decorating with those colors and symbols that remind us of all the celebrations we grew up with, including pumpkins, orange and yellow flowers, fall leaves, and more. You can add these beautiful flourishes both inside and outside your home, including fall wreaths and garlands, mini pumpkins and gourds for the table and mantel, and stunning bold bouquets throughout every room. Sophisticated Fall Flair You can also opt for an elegant look if that's your design preference. Consider using pumpkins painted white or black with gold, copper, and bronze accents across floral decor, linens, and dishes for the Thanksgiving table. Use a monochromatic look with punches of burgundy and copper to create a greater contrast. Lots of candles and footed metal or glass bowls also add a touch of elegance to this Thanksgiving style. Rustic Thanksgiving Charm Of course, you might like the down-home feel of country charm with rustic touches, including baskets, hay bales, scarecrows, sunflowers, ceramic pitchers filled with flowers, or wooden boxes. Use sunflower topiaries or loose garden arrangements to add color and cheer to your home. Wooden painted signs and other accent pieces add further to the farmhouse feel. Bold and Celebratory Colors One of the latest trends has been to completely forego the traditional colors of certain holidays in favor of those preferred colors that scream parties and celebrations like pink, purple, red, and more. From a regal look to a spring feel, adding this color palate to your Thanksgiving decor is a fun and unique way to celebrate this season. This touch of whimsy is perfect for those looking for a casual feel to their Thanksgiving celebration. Order today through our Denver flower shop and garden center or online through our website! We are delivering locally with contactless service or you can pick up your floral orders in-store or at the curb. You can also make an appointment with our floral design team at our Denver florist location to create custom Thanksgiving arrangements.

You can also add mini pumpkins to fall garlands, wreathes, plant garden baskets and containers.

We also have fun floral arrangements that feature ghosts, bats, witches and more! Just ask us what else we can add as Halloween accents to any of our fall flower displays.
