Flowers by post

[Popfan]

I'd like to send a friend of mine some flowers as she is having a crappy time of it at the moment. Can anyone recommend a company where the bouquet which arrives actually looks like the ones on the website?
Or any other ideas for companies which do lovely things to send her?

In the UK? I highly recommend Freddies Flowers. The flowers and foliage arrive lying separately in the box, the recipient puts them together in the bouquet but it comes with a guide on how to do that. They last for ages as well. I've stopped sending any other flowers, these are so consistently good (and I get them for myself too)!

Yes the UK. Looked up Freddie's Flowers and it seems you have to sign up for a subscription and can't just send a one off delivery.

No, you can definitely send single ones - I've just sent them to my mum, best friend and MIL for Xmas. Maybe once you've got a login?

Def bunches, great prices, points, discounts and issues easily resolved if any

I've always enjoyed flowers I've had from Bloom & Wild.

I've used Cornish Blooms a lot and the flowers are beautiful

bloom & wild as they last ages

Marks and Spencer - ordered some last week, arrived next day (tracked delivery with Yodel) and from what recipient said, they were just as shown on the website.

Google flowers from The Isles of Scilly - I can’t remember the exact name of the company I use but they’re based on Martinstown. Consistently beautiful flowers that last ages & reasonably priced for what you get. I mainly use them in Spring/Summer for narcissi but all year round is great. I sent pinks to my Aunty & she said they were fantastic.

Why don't you Google for a florist local to her and give them a call. They will be able to deliver and you will get a much nicer bunch for your money.

Bloom & Wild have never let me down when I’ve sent them, I was also recently sent a box and some of the blooms lasted for three weeks. They were absolutely beautiful!

Freddie’s Flowers have always been disappointing. I subscribed for a while but every box I received had damaged flowers and I was lucky if they lasted a week.

I've had flowers from bloom and wild a few times and they've been a straggly mess that looks nothing like the photo on their website.

If I'm sending flowers I tend to contact a local florist near the recipient and order online from them or by phone.

I’ve been very disappointed with bloom and wild. Had two bunches from different friends. Both were in poor condition which is a shame as I love flowers and I know they’re expensive. I usually try to find a local florist to the recipient and have them delivered.

I use Scilly Flowers, on St Martin's, regularly. This time of year it's scented narcissi.

I have also used Cornish Blooms.

I would recommend either.

Haute Florist have been excellent - I've used them several times and had rave reviews from the recipients. I received flowers from Arena Flowers recently and they were very fresh and beautifully arranged. Don't use eflorist - I've received some from them today. The arrangement is poor and some of the flowers are dead. M&S use Yodel to deliver and they've damaged things in transit more than once.

A client sent to flowers from M&S as a thank you. They were beautiful and have lasted ages.

I've always recommended that people use local florists on here before, but I would only do that if I knew and liked their style - you want to see photos of their actual work.

Thank you everyone, I'm going to look up these companies and will update!

Serenata flowers are also good.

Floom are amazing, they source local florists and arrangements for you.
