The best flower delivery services for an easy but impressive gift
These are the best flower delivery services online for blooms delivered to your door quickly, easily and inexpensively


To help you find the best flower delivery services in the UK we've looked at and tested all the best places to order flowers online. From big supermarket brands like Waitrose and M&S, who offer some of the least expensive ways to send flowers, to boutique brands like Bloom & Wild who always have a stunning selection of seasonal hand-tied bouquets to choose from.
According to a study by online florist Serenata, British adults are set to spend just over £1billion on Mother's Day gifts this year, with almost half of that amount going towards bouquets of flowers. So it's worth planning ahead and getting your orders in ahead of time to ensure you get the flowers and delivery date of your choice in March.
When it comes to how much flower delivery should cost, prices do vary, and it's worth keeping in mind that at certain times of year such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the cost of flower delivery will increase due to demand.
Several of the brands and flower companies featured below will deliver your flowers for free, or include delivery in the cost of the bouquet rather than charging extra.
Brands such as M&S and Bloom & Wild both offer free delivery on all of their blooms for most of the year, while Waitrose also has free delivery on their letterbox flowers. Serenata is currently offering free Saturday and Sunday delivery for the Mother's Day weekend this year and free next-day delivery if you order by 10pm—so they should be your go-to for any last minute orders.

Our pick of the best flower delivery services in the UK
1. Interflora
Specifications
A longtime reliable flower delivery service, Interflora is a one of the most popular names in flower delivery. They offer themed arrangements for every special occasion, from birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine's Day, to friendship flowers, romantic flowers and just because. They even have a section dedicated to funeral and sympathy where you can choose from their thoughtful offering that includes sprays, wreaths and special tributes.
What stands out most with Interflora is their convenient delivery service. They even offers same-day shipping for the more forgetful among us and international delivery that covers a number of European countries as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA.
2. Bloom & Wild
Specifications
Bloom & Wild made a name for themselves thanks to their handy letterbox flowers that can be posted anywhere in the country. Each slim box of blooms comes complete with handy guidelines on how to make your arrangement look beautiful—making it easy to dip your toe into flower-arranging and perhaps discover a new hobby. But as a name that's become pretty buzzy on the UK flower delivery scene, they also keep up with all the newest floral trends too.
Their round-up of beautiful bouquets is constantly changing to feature stems that are prosperous by the season—so much so that they even sell a mini real Christmas tree in the winter (which impressively can be posted through the letterbox too). And after Christmas, the tree can be planted in your garden so that you can watch it grow year by year—a great gift for gardeners. In keeping with current floral trends, they now offer dried flowers and house plants to buy online too.
3. Floom
Specifications
Recent years have seen a huge increase in small and home-run businesses—and for many of us, gift giving has become an opportunity to support these local ventures. However, shopping small or local businesses can often involve more effort than your standard online shop—so Floom is striving to make shopping small florists as easy as your Amazon order.
The site features arrangements from hundreds of different sellers across the country, meaning there are also various styles, sizes and price ranges available to shop too. And if you've been thinking of how to start a flower business yourself, Floom's website even has an easy page where florists can sign up to sell their creations.
Floom is also available in the US, so if you have any loved ones across the pond you can send them some blooms too.
4. Waitrose Florist

Supermarket flowers have long been a go-to for many of us, but Waitrose has gone another step with their Waitrose Florist service that will deliver the blooms for you. Their collection is packed full of elegant arrangements that are made up of classic sprays like roses, lilies, tulips, sunflowers and hyacinths.
They offer high-quality stems that really give you the most for your money in terms of appearance, scent and longevity and they even have a letterbox bouquet option for quick last minute-gifts.
5. Bloom

They also work to offset their carbon footprint by supporting reforestation projects, making it easier for you to make sustainable living choices whilst still enjoying beautiful fresh flowers at home.

With an impressive selection of bouquets to choose from year-round, the flowers from M&S look much more expensive than they actually are, and unlike other delivery services where flowers arrive looking a little wilted and need to be perked-up in water, M&S bouquets are delivered with a wow-factor.
The premium supermarket brand also now have a range of house plants available to buy online, from small succulents to large palms and everything in between. There are even plant sets that have a few different pots in them and lovely flowering plants too if you want to give a bit of a hybrid gift.
