The Best Flower Delivery Service of 2023

Floom is a flower delivery service that connects you with local florists. Each arrangement listed is designed and delivered by independent florists in your recipient's area. You can purchase and schedule your delivery all through the Floom site, but it will be delivered by the florist you’re purchasing from.

You can search the arrangements by your zip code and delivery date to see what is available based on your location and browse through all the local florists who can fulfill the order when you need it. Depending on the florist you pick flowers from, gifts may be available. The florist I chose a bouquet from had the option to add on gifts like candles or stuffed animals.

If you need to make a last minute change to your order, rest assured that Floom has great customer service to help via the online chat service. We needed the delivery address changed on my order, and the customer service team made the change and communicated it to the florist we ordered from.

The flowers we purchased were from a local florist and arrived on time and looking stunning, just like what we ordered. The bouquet include a packet of plant food.

Floom is a great option if you want to support local businesses while gifting flowers at a reasonable price.

The flowers we ordered from FTD, one of the longest standing flower delivery services around, looked great in terms of quality, with full blooms and no limp stems plus a vase was included. However, the color palette didn’t look like what we’d anticipated from the photos online, which the site cautions you about during the ordering process.

It's not a total dud, as the flowers do look beautiful and arrive on time, but just be aware that the colors may differ from what you order online. The flowers did not include plant food but did come with simple care constructions to change the water daily and trim the stems.

On the plus side, the well-established company offers a huge variety of flowers, plants, and gifts.

Items on the site listed as florist-to-door are made and delivered locally, and most arrangements include vases. There are a limited number of styles that are available for same-day delivery.

If you're looking for a quick way to send flowers, with plenty of options to pick from, FTD is a reliable choice for fresh flowers delivered right on time. However, just note that the colors may not look like exactly what you ordered.

Bouqs is a flower delivery service that offers a wide selection of incredibly fragrant and stunning bouquets to truly wow your favorite person—with a little work.

From start to finish, everything impressed us. The website is easy to navigate and browse through items for your selected delivery date and direct shipping straight to your recipient's door. The flower delivery service includes arrangements for almost every occasion, from micro weddings to sympathy flowers. Bouqs also offers subscriptions so you can have fresh flowers on your table every month.

There’s a separate section on Bouqs’ website for those in need of next day delivery, making Bouqs a great choice if you've waited until the last minute to send flowers.

The bouquets from Bouqs look just like the pictures on the website and arrived on time, so you can be sure that what you are ordering is what will be delivered to that special someone. There are ample arrangement styles to suit any occasion. Most bouquets are available in different sizes including original, deluxe, and grand.

Unlike many other flower delivery services, vases are not included. However, for an additional cost, you can choose a vase to add on to your order. For something extra special, Bouqs also offers gift boxes that include a bouquet alongside a gift.

They arrived in a box and needed some extra attention when they arrived. After giving the stems a fresh cut and putting them in a vase with the included plant food, they started to loosen up and really bloom. While some flowers wilt by day two, we found that the Bouqs bouquet looked better than we expected.

Bouqs is great option for occasions, especially when your recipient may not live close to a local florist.

Navigating the 1-800-Flowers website was a little difficult simply because there was so much to look through. Utilizing the site’s occasions categories was helpful to begin narrowing down the selection.

The floral designs on this website are very classic and might not please the trend seeker like our Best Upgrade pick does. However, the bouquet we ordered showed up looking fresh, full, and blooming with color. It didn't include plant food or care instructions upon arrival, but it did arrive on time.

For frequent flower orderers, 1-800-Flowers offers a “Passport” program for $19.99 a year. It’s a good option for those sending out flowers regularly. The program includes free shipping and no service charges on every delivery.

The company also gives you the option for weekend delivery days, as well as choosing the time slot in which your flowers are delivered. Both options come with an extra fee.

In addition to flowers, 1-800-Flowers offers gifts from its many sibling companies including Harry & David and Cheryl’s Cookies that you can send alongside the pretty stems.

The selection of arrangements on BloomsyBox website is colorful and vibrant with designs anyone is sure to adore. Upon on time delivery, the flowers are lackluster. It takes some work to get them to look like the perky blooms you desire—about a day in water using the included plant food.

Another downside is that there is no option to add-on a vase or any other gifts to an order, so the flowers will arrive as a bouquet only. While most sites had a prompt to add-on a gift note, BloomsyBox’s option to do so was buried in the ordering process and is easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

On the site, there is a tab marked for bouquets available for next day delivery, which is helpful for last minute shoppers. However, overall, the site navigation is clunky, as you’re not able to filter through items for the delivery date you needed. The unclear layout resulted in us accidentally selecting a bouquet that, when check out time came, wasn’t available for the date we wanted.

If you're ordering from BloomsyBox, make sure to pay extra attention during the check out process and be prepared to supply your own vase.

The bouquet we ordered from Proflowers, a subsidiary of FTD, was the most disappointing of any online flower service we tested. While it looked similar to the bouquet I ordered online, the flowers arrived looking droopy and did not perk up much overnight. The bouquet arrived on time but didn't include plant food or care instructions, we just had to give the arrangement some fresh water and hope for the best.

On the plus side, the ProFlowers website is easy to navigate, with helpful tools for sorting flowers by availability and delivery date. Each bouquet is available in a variety of sizes and, occasionally, a variety of vase options.

ProFlowers also offers a wide selection of gifts from cookies and cheese boards to soothing spa products to tack on to your floral arrangement order.

While Proflowers designs looked promising online, the quality of flowers that shows up is disappointing.
