cheapest flower delivery london

We've tried and tested the best flower delivery services in the UK including Appleyard Flowers, Marks and Spencer flowers and Floom - marking them based on delivery, appearance and how well the flowers last. Here's our pick of the bunch (sorry)...

As we approach the 19th of July (AKA Freedom Day) - and with British Summer Time finally upon us - orders through online flower delivery services have skyrocketed. In fact, according to Serenata Flowers, there has been a surge of people self-gifting flowers in the past 12 months (over 300% to be exact), proving that #selfcare is more on-trend than ever. We can get behind that.

There are two main reasons: firstly, despite the reopening of shops some time back, we're still really loving our online deliveries - flowers included. There's nothing more satisfying than opening the door to the postman (who, if you're like us, you're on first-name-terms with) and accepting a parcel from you to you. Last year, Bloom & Wild reported that their customers sent 780k 'just because' bouquets, 309k 'thank you' bouquets and 342k support bouquets. The trend continues.

Secondly? Research by Bloom & Wild has showed that having flowers in your workspace can lower your heart rate, boost productivity and creativity and help you feel calmer - so people are going wild on the letterbox flower, dried flower and flower subscription service fronts in a bid to improve their WFH set-ups. With the sun finally back and shining, there's never been a better time to bring the outdoors in. Especially if you don't feel quite so comfortable venturing to a green-list country still (which is totally fine, by the way).

So, whether you're looking for a gift-to-self to brighten your home or a best friend gift for your far-away soul sister, here's everything you need to know about the best flower delivery services to order from in the UK.

Where to order flowers online

There's an increasing number of online flower delivery services in the UK now offering next-day, international, same-day or scheduled day delivery, which is a life-saver if you need a last-minute gift for her. Who wouldn't appreciate a bunch of flowers to add some colour to their work-from-home desk? Exactly. Granted, lots of flower delivery services have fairly similar offerings, so we've curated an edit of the very best - highlighting what they're good for.

So, which online flower service is best?

Floom operates nationwide and their flowers have an almost non-existent carbon footprint, while Bloom & Wild deliver their flowers in a flat, 100% recyclable box which fits through your letterbox (and they're now offsetting their carbon emissions and maintaining zero waste to landfill). They're also now offering dried flowers, which are a glorious and more sustainable choice than their fresh counterparts. Appleyard Flowers are best for same-day delivery in London, while Teleflorist are the best flower delivery service for affordability and Arena Flowers are the best flower delivery service for their ethical flower subscription service. It costs £20 per bunch and you can have bouquets delivered to your door weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

How do I keep my flowers alive for a long time?

What's the point in spending upwards of £25 on a beautiful bouquet if it's not going to last? Here are our tips for keeping your flowers alive for a long time once you've placed an order.

  1. First and foremost, change the water once every few days. If your vase is plastic or metal (more on that later), try to change your water once daily. Not sure when the water is ready to be changed? It'll go cloudy.

  2. Always fill your vase up with cold water. Not warm water.

  3. Similarly, store them out of direct sunlight. Warm water and bright sunshine encourage flowers to bloom earlier, meaning they'll have a shorter life span and last for less time.

  4. Trim the stems once every couple of days so they can soak up the nutrients in the water.

  5. Did your bouquet come with plant food? Don't forget about it!

  6. Put your flowers in a glass vase. Glass helps keep flowers looking better for longer than plastic and metal do, because plastic and metal encourage faster multiplication of bacteria.

Why should you buy seasonal flowers?

Many of the best flower delivery services will boast that they only deliver seasonal flowers, which is great. But why? In short, out-of-season flowers will have much smaller heads than in-season flowers will, which bloom much larger. So it's for aesthetic reasons, really, but important all the same.
