I am not able, for various reasons, to go to see my daughter on her birthday, so I want to send some flowers online. I do not live close enough to use local florists etc. I have found things like Interflora very expensive but in the past have used lots of various online ones but with varying results. I do not want to spend a fortune. Our van has just failed its MOT, costing us over £1500! Plus, I have proms, graduations, etc., so good, reasonably priced flowers would be useful. could anyone recommend a brand, please?

Letterbox flowers tend to be cheaper. Bloom and Wild is nice and you usually get money off as a first order.

Id Google florists near her and check the reviews. I've always found the quantity and quality from local florists to be far better

Cornish Blooms are nice and I've found reliable. Seasonal flowers too.

This. Just give them a ring and they’ll sort you out for much better value and quality. Or some also have websites that you can order online from. The big companies are rubbish.

I got some letterbox flowers yesterday from Freddie's Flowers- they were a peony bouquet and stunning

Another vote for bloom and wild

Bunches have always been quite good.

Freddie's flowers are always great quality and unusual blooms.

amooseymoomum · 15/06/2025 15:24

thank you some good suggestions.
I used to ring the local florist and pay for flowers to be sent for occasions, but sadly they have closed down. There are no other ones near her.

Bloom & Wild are lovely but bear in mind they only do letterbox flowers.

I recently sent a friend an orchid from Bloom and Wild - it's lovely and came in a nice ceramic pot

MrsMitford3 · 15/06/2025 16:59

I use bloom and wild for my dd. Reliable and nice flowers.

I also sent her an afternoon tea from Betty's one year which was a huge hit.

I’ve only once had a problem with M and S flower delivery once and got an almost immediate refund and apology; so I tend to use them

Coffeeishot · 15/06/2025 17:17

I use Moonpig, Bloom and wild and M&S all have been well received but from photos I think I liked bloom and wild

Cominghomesoon · 15/06/2025 20:03

I would google her local florists and check their website (if they have one) and reviews, and order through them. I always do this!

Scrabblingaround · 15/06/2025 20:11

I have always relied on M&S and Waitrose, but M&S still have no online ordering for flowers, and Waitrose have stoped doing it completely... so for Father's Day I tried bloom and wild. V good, lovely flowers, fast delivery on a Sunday for no extra.

MadisonAvenue · 15/06/2025 20:21

I’ve sent, and received, flowers from Bloom And Wild a number of times and they’ve always been lovely and long lasting.

Theres usually a discount for first purchases too.

muddyford · 15/06/2025 20:22

I've used Scilly Flowers many times, in the winter and spring, and Cornish Blooms.

MichelleCancelled · 15/06/2025 20:23

Scilly Flowers.
Amazing flowers.

Westfacing · 03/11/2025 17:11

My sister always sends me Bloom & Wild - they're really lovely and last a couple of weeks.

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 04/11/2025 19:26

Freddie's flowers are unusual and always great quality.

NotMeekNotObedient · 06/11/2025 22:38

I don't bother with online ones now. Just Google a local florist near your DD, tell them how much you want to spend and a colour, pay over the phone. It will be 100x better then anything online.

Bloom and Wilde are terrible.
