Buying flowers online

[Bellexx]

I’m looking for recommendations on the place place to purchase flowers online. I went to send some to a colleague that lives away from me.

I usually use M&S or next but both don’t seem to last very long

Sorry I didn’t check this prior to posting.

Amazing flowers and long lasting and a variety of budgets catered for

Freddie's Flowers are better quality than I've had anywhere else online and a bit different.

In those circumstances I always use a local (to them) florist. It feels more personal that way, and have always had successful results.

Id use a local florist. My DP got me a bunch of flowers from an online company and they were the biggest waste of money. Cost about 30 quid and the flowers were half dead and had all died within 3 days. Refused to refund him and only offered to resend the flowers. Would not recommend.

Thank you.

I can’t use local as she lives to far away from me

Have used and received from Bunches.com. I'm no connaseir though

@Bellexx

Thank you.

Local to them, not you.

Bloom and Wild always have offers on, Arena are pretty good but I have to say M&S seem to last the longest with me but I see you want to try someone else.

I Google local florists to where the recipient lives, look at reviews and phone them with a budget and any preference on colours/ flowers.
Last did this for a friend in Newcastle and I'm in the Midlands

Thank you.

What people mean is that you find a florist local to the person to whom you want to send the flowers. Then call the florist, order on the phone and pay by card.

I do this quite regularly for a friend down south and I live in the Nw

I've always had brilliant flowers from Cornish Blooms. They're a family firm not a big corporate cornishblooms.co.uk

Or as PP have suggested, find a florist local to the recipient and order direct

Why can't you use a local florist? Google for one with good reviews near her, and either order online, or ring them up.

I'd definitely go for a local florist. You tend to get better value from them & I'd rather use a local business than something like Next

Love Bloom and Wild, have had them delivered and I have also sent them to other people and they've never disappointed.

I use moonpig and recipients always happy.They also send offers with discounts or free cards etc
MN have discount with sernata this month
discountcode.mumsnet.com/serenata-flowers
Some mnetters give codes for freddys flowers etc there was a thread just the other day

Scilly Flowers. Limited choice (it's just what they grow seasonally), but everyone I've sent them to has been delighted. Apparently they are carefully packaged and arrive in excellent condition.

I use these if I'm sending whilst they're in season. Everyone has always been delighted with them.

I've been using Prestige for the past year- the flowers are packed really well, presented nicely, they have a good selection, on my first order I was sent a free vase, plus you get a small box of chocolates with each bouquet- they send you codes for eg 10 pounds off next order etc too

I always use Bloom and Wild - this link will get you £10 off (I get a credit too)

refer.bloomandwild.com/m/ol/zei-03a8ba1cc6

I'd go with a local florist as I have received 2 bouquets from Next ; one was wilting coming out of box and the other was in the bin after a couple of days.

I got some sent to me from bloom and and wild and really rated them. They're not in bloom when they arrive so last longer.

Bunches, fab add save25 in box, gives you 25% off ( discount/ promotion box), good choice and great at sorting issues out, if any

I get monthly flowers from arena and they always last 2-3 weeks.

I use Freddies Flowers even for single deliveries - about £25 and always a huge parcel with flowers that last a good fortnight. Plus I like putting them together.

I'd second Arena flowers. They are excellent and last a long time.
