Recommend me a flower bouquet delivery service....

[Gordonsgrin]

Just that, I am looking to send a really lovely bunch of flowers to a very lovely DD, my budget is around £60.00. Happy to use a national service or one based in Surrey.

I also really like Appleyard, always been top quality for me

Bloom and wild 20% of first order

Bunches are really good. Next day delivery and flowers were so lovely. Can pick between arriving flatpacked or in a bouquet.

I’ve had good experiences with Seranata lately.
Next are awful.

I’ve used Serenata flowers before and they have been consistently good.

We have had a few bad bunches from Freddie's flowers recently. They have been left in a porch or on the floor with no knock at the door and my shielding MIL had no idea how long they had been left there. We are giving them a break for the summer to see if things improve later.

I used to be a florist and am sceptical of the arrange them yourself flowers sent by post with no water. A lot of the varieties I've seen in photos are not what I'd consider to be worth the prices charged.

M&S!!!

Great British Florist is a small independent in Herefordshire - they use British growers to minimise air miles. My SIL sent me a dried flower wreath for Christmas, and now I use them for bouquets.

I've not been impressed with Bloom and Wild. First lot of flowers were dying when they arrived and didn't revive as promised. They sent a second lot free of charge which were much nicer but even then I wouldn't say the roses were the best quality. I also think they're expensive for the size of the bunch and they don't look anything like what they do in the photos on the website.

The Real Flower Company are expensive, and the roses don't last very long, but they are v good for fragrance and wow factor. When I'm lucky enough to get some I spend half the day with my nose buried in them.

Freddies Flowers. Quite pricey but amazing.

I get a delivery from them every 2 weeks, but also have sent as birthday presents. The only problem is depending where you live they have 1 delivery day per week in your area.

I would highly recommend Seranata.

Serenata 💯

Bloom and wild do the hand tied bouquets which are delivered in a vase rather than as a letterbox type. They do big luxe ones too which are amazing.

I've got a code for £10 off if you don't already have one, feel free to use it if you decide to go for it (in the interest of full disclosure I get a credit too if you do)

Thanks all,I have three weeks to decide. I will post back and let you know what I choose. Hopefully with pictures of beautiful flowers!

My MiL's birthday flowers I bought her from eflorist arrived today. She sent me a pic and they are lovely.

I use bunches. Only ever had a bad bunch when they got delayed in transit during a heat wave. They replaced them without a problem. 12% off with the code "FD12"

I sometimes use companies on The Isles of Scilly ( has to be daffodil/narcissi season), although having said that some of them will offer pinks etc too. I sent narcissi to my Aunt & she was absolutely thrilled. Apparently they were beautiful & lasted ages
