Hi, I've always used Prestige Flowers after also receiving from there first a few times and really liking them. Their flowers have always been lovely, friends/family who receive them from me always seem really happy and will text me pics so I can se if they're ok.
I generally tend to sign up to the free postage thingy (can't remember if 6 or 12 months) which pays for itself if you are likely to order from them more than once.

I can send you a money off thingy if you like? I just logged into my account and didn't realise you can do the refer a friend thing and both get £7.50. Either way, I can refer you (but it has to be done via email address) but I can understand if you'd rather not do that. I've never used the referral thingy before, usually just recommend the site if anyone asks for recs.

Dm(pm?) if you're interested in the money off thing and I can send your email address. If not, definitely still strongly recommend them as the only site I've used for flowers for a few years now. Any that I've been sent from anyone else have been beautiful. Important to say that their packaging is really good and have never had any damages at all, and so I think that's really important, plus I think value for money is good. You can usually choose 2 or 3 different sizes of most bouquets. Also never had any delivered late.

Sorry, should have added link https://www.prestigeflowers.co.uk/refer-a-friend?utmsource=weeklyymailer&utmmedium=email&utmmterm=606dp&utmmcampaign=ayr&utmcontent=headerlink
It looks like they also currently have up to 50% off next day, and also for first time orders.

I've had some lovely deliveries before from good old Marks and Spencer.

Haute

Bellyache99 · 28/02/2024 11:27

Bloom and Wild are brilliant. They give you the bulbs to plant in your garden too!

MandyMotherOfBrian · 28/02/2024 11:28

Never been let down by Bloom and Wild.

erlangshen · 28/02/2024 11:30

another fan of bloom and wild, have been using them for years. Look for discount, they often send offers of 20% off.

silverbubbles · 28/02/2024 11:31

I would usually google for a local company and look at reviews but recently have also been really impressed with M&S

Whatwaswrongwiththatusername · 28/02/2024 11:37

@artyfartybarty
Have sent the email. I hope you like them ☺️

CCLCECSC · 28/02/2024 11:45

Bloom and Wild.

Monkeybutt1 · 28/02/2024 11:48

I would never use Bloom and Wild again they sent my DM and MIL the worst flowers last year. £70 we spent on each bouquet and they both received 6 wiltingflowers each not what was advertised in the pic. The customer service was shocking also.

Icantbelievebodiesgone · 28/02/2024 11:48

I’ve previously been very disappointed with bloom and wild but been really impressed with prestige flowers.

DaveWatts · 28/02/2024 11:54

I like to try and support small businesses so I'd usually find a local florist to the recipients and order from them - flowers tend to be fresher/better quality and you can ask for exactly what you want. They tend to be a bit more obliging about deliveries as well!

Beebumble2 · 28/02/2024 12:19

I have used both M&S and Waitrose and could recommend them.
I’ve received flowers from Bloom and Wild several times and always been unimpressed. They seem to pack out the flowers with green shrubbery and berries, which die off and smell before the flowers wilt. I will admit that some of the flowers are more unusual garden variety.

PrimalLass · 28/02/2024 12:20

Call a local florist instead of a big company

Riverlee · 28/02/2024 12:20

Next or M and S have always been good.

BarnacleBeasley · 28/02/2024 12:21

I tend to use interflora for this kind of thing, but it's pretty much just paying someone to source the local florist for you, so if you've got time to think about it you could find one in the area and get in touch with them directly.

Itscatsallthewaydown · 28/02/2024 12:23

I don’t rate Bloom and Wild. I’ve had several disappointing deliveries from them; their customer service is good and will organise a replacement, but that’s after the event.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 28/02/2024 12:24

Appleyard or M&S have been consistently good in my experience.

UnhealthyCopingStrategies · 28/02/2024 12:27

Also found M&S good

RufustheFactualReindeer · 28/02/2024 12:31

I would second Haute

Next and Marks and both very good as well

thatneverhappened · 28/02/2024 16:53

I love bloom and wild. At first google they look more expensive than competitors but you can usually find a discount code and quality is heads and shoulders better

justjuggling · 29/02/2024 01:16

Have had several poor experiences with Bloom & Wild. Now I stick to M&S or source a local florist.
