Get well soon flowers are a simple way to lift someone's spirits after surgery, an illness or a hard week. Milano's UpTowne Florist, family owned in Columbus since 1935, designs get well bouquets and arrangements by hand and delivers to homes and hospitals across Central Ohio.
Yellows, oranges and pinks are popular because they feel hopeful and warm.
For a hospital room
Compact, stable, low-fragrance designs work best where space is limited. Some units, including intensive care, don't allow fresh flowers or plants, so check before ordering.
For someone recovering at home
A larger arrangement or a plant is easy to enjoy at home, and a plant keeps going long after the recovery.
What to include for a hospital delivery
Give the patient's full name as registered, the hospital, the room number if you know it, and a phone number. The hospital controls delivery to the room, and patients are sometimes discharged sooner than expected, so a home delivery is often the surer choice.
Where we deliver
We deliver get well flowers to homes, hospitals and senior living communities across Columbus, Worthington, Dublin, Powell, Upper Arlington, Westerville, Lewis Center, Delaware, Hilliard, Clintonville and Plain City. See our hospital flower delivery page for details.
Yes. Milano's delivers to hospitals within its service area when the facility and patient unit permit flowers. Provide the patient's full legal name, hospital name, room number when known, and a phone number. The hospital controls final acceptance and movement to the room.
What flowers are best for a hospital room?
Compact, stable, low-fragrance designs are often best for hospital rooms because space can be limited. Avoid highly scented flowers when sensitivity is a concern, and consider hospital restrictions before adding balloons, plants, glass, or oversized designs.
Can flowers be delivered to an ICU or intensive care unit?
Many intensive care and specialty units restrict fresh flowers, plants, balloons, or large gifts. Contact the hospital or ask the shop to verify the current policy before ordering. A non-floral gift or delivery after transfer may be more appropriate.
Can balloons be delivered to a hospital?
Many hospitals allow only Mylar balloons and prohibit latex because of allergy concerns. Individual facilities and units set their own rules, so confirm the current policy before adding balloons.
What color flowers should I choose for a get-well gift?
Bright, cheerful colors such as yellow, orange, and pink are popular for get-well arrangements because they are meant to lift spirits. Some hospitals restrict strongly scented flowers, certain plants, or balloons in specific units, so confirm any facility restrictions before ordering.
Can you create a low-fragrance arrangement?
Yes. Tell the shop about fragrance sensitivity, pollen concerns, and the delivery setting. The designer can favor lower-fragrance flowers and avoid highly scented varieties, although no fresh-flower arrangement can be guaranteed allergen-free.
