Bloom and wild??

Hi. I was hoping someone could help. I wanted to send some flowers to a friend who just lost their mother. I came across Bloom and Wild and was wondering if anyone could recommend them or not. Also, there is a lot of mention of subscriptions but I assume I can just order a one off delivery? Thank you.

I've used them a lot. The recipients have all been very happy with them.

I received some flowers from them on 10 May and they’re still looking pretty good - would def recommend.

If these are a success I will be sending them for all presents for the foreseeable future!!!

I’ve used them a lot and also was given a six month subscription last year. Every bouquet I received was pretty and lasted well (10 days to 2 weeks). They do look sad when they first arrive so don’t have instant impact, but soon perk up.

I'll take back my earlier criticism. I've had them 6 days now and they look beautiful! My flower arranging skills aren't helping but they defo took a few days to look nice.

Here's a bunch I sent recently, I think they look lovely! They're currently doing an NHS discount so I saved quite a bit on them Smile. My friend recommended them and said she uses them regularly and never has a problem!

B and W are fab. Go through TopCashback as well to get cash back!

I use them a lot and everyone seems to love receiving them.

I also use Freddie's Flowers who h I revive myself every 2 weeks and I love them!

i sent my parents one of their tiny post box christmas trees, we were all very tickled by it and it did the job!

RainMustFall · 26/05/2020 20:25

I wouldn't use them because when I send flowers, part of what I'm paying for is the arrangement. I think the recipients would be disappointed to receive a box of flowers and foliage that looked half dead, even though they will revive if the instructions are followed. It's too much faff, I want them to receive a beautifully arranged bouquet which they can enjoy with zero effort.

Mum and I have had five lots of flowers delivered recently and B&W were the nicest. I have no idea about the relative price though.

I use Serenata and am happy with them. The other set we got was Laithwaits and came with wine which was a bonus.

We weren't. And they didn't look half dead at all.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 28/05/2020 03:54

I really rate them. Use the app regularly. Quick and easy and the flowers last ages

nicky2512 · 28/05/2020 07:55

My friend received her flowers yesterday and was delighted with them. I was pleased at how quick they came.
Thank you everyone for all the help.

ProperVexed · 04/07/2020 13:56

@JustAPassingFashion I've just used your code as well. There was a bunch of flowers with the same name as me. I have sent them to my aged aunt to arrive on the day that I was supposed to be going to stay with her but cancelled as she is shielding. Thank you so much.

JustAPassingFashion · 04/07/2020 14:00

Oh that's so lovely @ProperVexed . Smile

Timeandtune · 04/07/2020 14:07

Used them for the first time this week. Usually use M&S / Waitrose. Anyhoo DIL delighted . She followed all the instructions and flowers are lovely. Very easy ordering process too. Will definitely use again.

Crinkle77 · 04/07/2020 14:44

I wouldn't recommend them. First lot of flowers I received recently were already half dead. They're supposed to perk up after being placed in water. They sent me a replacement which were better but they didn't last very long. I also thought they were expensive for what you got.
