Supermarket Christmas bouquets

13 replies

I usually get my mum flowers for Christmas but this year I can't afford the florist prices.
I'm pretty good at arranging flowers so I was thinking of getting a couple of bouquets, rearranging and hand tying them myself (mum will be fine with this).
Does anyone know when they usually start getting the Christmassy themed bouquets in?

Sainsburys have got loads in near me but they’re £15 each. For £30 you could probably get a florists one!

Morris s have the best supermarket flowers by a country mile. I'd aim for the 22nd for maximum freshness.

Ahem, Morrisons

Our Morrisons has an instore florist who create bouquets instore based on the flowers you buy. They often have them pre assembled like you'd get in a regular florist too.
Used them several times and they always look just as good as a regular florist but generally cheaper.

Thanks, I've been to both Sainsbury's and Tesco to get an idea of what they had and neither had any yet.

Both local florists I usually use have a basic Christmas bouquet starting at £30 min but the quantity of flowers in them makes them look stingy.

Thanks so much, I rarely go to Morrisons so this is super helpful

Oh wow that sounds great, I haven't seen that in our local one.

My sister always buys her fresh flowers from Morrisons she says the quality is fantastic, and she would know as she used to work for a florist.
