30 best online flower delivery services for 2023: letterbox flowers and hand-tied bouquets | House & Garden

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there is no time like the present to order a flower delivery right to your loved one’s doorstep. But where do you even begin to look when there are hundreds of different flower delivery services vying for your attention? From big hitters like Bloom & Wild, high street favourites like Marks & Spencer and bespoke flower delivery providers like Jam Jar Flowers, there’s almost too much choice.

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, there are endless reasons to book a flower delivery. There are birthdays, wedding anniversaries and thank yous to say, occasions to mark and olive branches to extend. They are an instant mood elevator and a timeless way to demonstrate your devotion to someone–which is equally why a slightly lame looking bunch simply won’t do. You want the bouquet to say ‘I love you’ in the most stylish way you know how!

Thanks to the enormous range of flower delivery companies in the UK, there’s truly a floral arrangement for everyone, whether you’d like your bouquet to arrive by post, perfectly made up and ready to go, or you’d prefer to arrange the stems yourself (check out our guide to flower arrangement ideas if you would). Letterbox options are a good option for the latter type of person. They arrive carefully packed flat in a cardboard box full of individual loose stems, ready for you to trim and arrange yourself.

Why should you buy seasonal flowers?

On your hunt for the best flower delivery service you are sure to come across a few that exclusively deliver seasonal flowers. There are two different reasons for this. The first is that the environmental impact of using seasonal flowers is much lower. Out of season flowers are often imported from Europe or further afield, flying hundreds of miles before they’ve even begun their journey to our doors. If grown in the UK, non seasonal stems will require much more maintenance than otherwise (think temperature regulation, fertiliser etc). The second reason is purely aesthetic, with out of season flowers having much smaller buds, and therefore heads, than in season ones.

What is the best flower subscription service?

Many of the flower companies on this list offer subscription services as well as gift deliveries and letterbox options. Bloom & Wild have a fantastic service that will send fresh flowers to your door fortnightly. Appleyard Flowers are another good option whose subscription starts at £25.

Whatever the reason (and there need be no reason at all), if you’re sending a bouquet of carnations as birthday flowers, roses as anniversary flowers, a luxury Valentine’s Day gift or a floral present to friends, family or yourself, these are the best flower delivery companies to look to.
