Flower Delivery in Maywood, NJ

MAYWOOD FLOWER DELIVERY

AU Florist sits at 790 Main Street in Hackensack, just 2 miles from Maywood. Any Maywood address: 10-15 minutes off-peak. 

Every morning at 5 AM, Rob drives to the wholesale flower markets. He handpicks roses, tulips, lilies and whatever's freshest that day. By 7 AM, those flowers are back at the shop in buckets, hydrated and ready. His lead designer, here for 25 years, transforms them into arrangements that regularly draw "oh my god, that's beautiful" from customers.

Your flowers travel 2 miles, not 20. Same day, not three days later in a cardboard box.

About Maywood

Maywood occupies 1.29 square miles in Bergen County, bordered by Hackensack to the east, Rochelle Park to the south, Paramus to the north and west, and Lodi to the southwest. West Pleasant Avenue runs through the borough as the main business district which is a walkable downtown with local shops, restaurants, and the historic Maywood Inn's Twin Door Tavern.

Maywood Station Museum at 269 Maywood Avenue celebrates the borough's rail history. The New Jersey Midland Railroad established the original station here in the 1870s, giving Maywood its name. The restored museum hosts periodic exhibits and community programs.

Memorial Park anchors recreation with baseball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, and a dog area. The park sits near Grant Avenue, where Memorial School serves the community. Maywood Avenue School operates on the avenue bearing the borough's name.

Route 4 and NJ-17 run through neighboring Paramus and Hackensack, providing highway access. Bergen Town Center is the major retail mall at Route 4 and Forest Avenue and touches Maywood's northwest edge where the borough meets Paramus.

Our Promise: Fresh, Local, On Time

We're 2 miles from Maywood via Passaic Street and Maywood Avenue. That proximity matters. Your flowers don't sit in delivery vans for hours.

Rob's 5 AM market routine hasn't changed in decades. He knows which wholesalers have the best roses, where to find hard-to-source flowers, who to call when a customer requests something specific. Back at the shop, stems get cut, buckets get filled, everything prepped for the designer who's been here 25 years.

Small weddings keep us busy year-round. Other shops demand $5,000 minimums. We don't. We make what you need without the requirements. We don't think twice about smaller celebrations.

Valentine's Day and Mother's Day turn the shop into controlled chaos. Rob's entire family shows up! Ten people are arranging, wrapping, and loading vans. Exhausting days. Everyone comes back next year because those are the days that matter.

Why Maywood Families Choose Us

A family came in crying years ago. Their friend's wedding bouquet from another florist looked terrible. Rob and his designer added roses, cascading orchids, and rebuilt the whole thing. The family never went anywhere else after that.

Rob won't sell yesterday's flowers. When customers point to older stems in the cooler, he steers them to that morning's delivery instead. Some florists would take the sale. Rob won't compromise.

About AU Florist

Rob never planned to become a florist. In the early 1980s, working in the spirits industry, a friend's flower shop needed help. Rob started with basics, driving, cleaning, and organizing. Then the designer called out sick. Orders piling up. Boss panicking.

"I could do that," Rob offered. The boss handed him a knife hopefully. The dozen roses Rob arranged exceeded everyone's expectations. Two years of training followed. When Rob opened his own shop, his old boss cried for weeks.

Walk through our doors at 790 Main Street and you enter something unexpected. Over 100 paintings and photographs transform the walls including R.C. Gorman pieces, a 1944 Polish painting from Rob's grandmother, vintage 1920s magazines featuring Rita Hayworth and Judy Garland, works by Xavier Gonzalez (whose pieces hang in the Museum of Modern Art), even something Rob made in fifth grade.

Customers sit in chairs scattered around, taking it in while we create their arrangements.

5 AM alarm. Every morning. Rob drives to wholesale markets, handpicks flowers, returns by 7. The designer who's been here 25 years knows Rob's standards. When customers see arrangements in the cooler, they stop and stare. That's not by accident.

Rob's philosophy? "I make arrangements like I'm making them for my family." After almost 40 years of treating Maywood and neighboring communities that way, customers have become exactly that, they're family.

4.9-star Google rating reflects that. "After 40 years in business, I've learned what really matters, treating people right and creating beautiful arrangements," Rob says.
