Why Ordering Directly From a Local Florist Can Help
Speak with the team handling your order
If you need help choosing flowers, changing a colour palette or adding detailed delivery instructions, you can contact Making Dream directly. This keeps product and delivery questions with the team managing the local order.
Get help with GTA delivery details
Deliveries to condos, hospitals, hotels, offices and funeral homes often require more information than a residential delivery. Unit numbers, buzzer codes, patient details, service times and reception hours can affect a successful handoff. Our team works with these GTA delivery situations every day.
Ask about flowers before ordering
Seasonal flowers and specific colours can sell out. Customers can speak with us about current availability and suitable alternatives before placing a custom order.
Keep your purchase within a Canadian local business
Orders placed with Making Dream go directly to our Vaughan flower shop. Our team manages the flowers, customer communication and local delivery coordination.
Flower Design and Substitutions
Fresh flowers are seasonal products, so availability can change. This applies across the floral industry.
At Making Dream, our website shows the intended design of each arrangement. If a flower is unavailable, a suitable substitution can be used in line with the product’s substitution policy while keeping the arrangement’s style, colour direction and value.
For an order that requires a specific flower or exact colour, contact our team before ordering. We can confirm current availability or suggest an option that fits the occasion.
Same-Day Flower Delivery Across the GTA
Making Dream provides same-day flower delivery throughout its GTA service area when the order is placed before the daily cutoff.
Monday to Friday ordering cutoff for same-day delivery.
Saturday ordering cutoff for same-day delivery.
Sunday ordering cutoff for same-day delivery.
ASAP delivery option for qualifying weekday orders in covered areas.
