Having to get used to dreary, grey and chilly weather at this time of year is never easy. However, along with shorter days and plummeting temperatures, we can also look forward to the joy and conviviality of the festive season. Having fresh flowers delivered using an online service is a lovely way to bring a sense of Christmas cheer into the home. Flowers are a timeless gift for a reason; they work for all sorts of occasions and are sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face. A bouquet of blooms is also a brilliant, easy way to spruce up your own house. But where do you even begin to look when there are hundreds of different flower delivery services vying for your attention? From big hitters like Bloom & Wild, Serenata Flowers, to high street favourites like Marks & Spencer and bespoke flower delivery providers like Jam Jar Flowers, there's almost too much choice. We've narrowed it down to our favourites, outlining just what each service is best for, whether that's flowers that fit through the letterbox for easy delivery, or exquisite luxury bouquets.
Whether you go classic with daffodils or tulips, or prefer things to be a little more lowkey, you really can't go wrong booking a flower delivery to brighten up this side of the year, for yourself or to gift to a loved one. Apart from Christmas, there are always birthdays, wedding anniversaries and thank yous to say, occasions to mark and olive branches to extend. Delivered flowers are an instant mood elevator and a timeless way to demonstrate your gratitude and loyalty to someone–which is equally why a slightly lame looking bunch simply won't do. You want the bouquet to say ‘I love you’ in the most stylish way possible.

Earlier this year they revamped their entire flower offering across online and in store, launching The Flower Market, a brand new vision that knocks all supermarket competitors off the top spot. Sourcing incredible blooms from a worldwide network of trusted suppliers, an impressive 50% of their flowers are UK grown, which is something to shout about. What's more, they've drilled down into what customers really want and upped their selection of seasonal roses and peonies, even creating a never-seen-before peony rose to set the flower scene ablaze when the season rolls around. The cherry on the cake? Their delivery boxes have been overhauled so any bouquet you send to a loved one arrives in a sturdy, chic dark green box with an embossed card of well wishes. Trust M&S to take the high street to the next level.

Frequently asked questions
On your hunt for the best flower delivery service you are sure to come across a few that exclusively deliver seasonal flowers. There are two different reasons for this. The first is that the environmental impact of using seasonal flowers is much lower. Out of season flowers are often imported from Europe or further afield, flying hundreds of miles before they've even begun their journey to our doors. If grown in the UK, non seasonal stems will require much more maintenance than otherwise (think temperature regulation, fertiliser etc). The second reason is purely aesthetic, with out of season flowers having much smaller buds, and therefore heads, than in season ones.
Many of the flower companies on this list offer subscription services as well as gift deliveries and letterbox options. Bloom & Wild have a fantastic service that will send the freshest flowers to your door fortnightly. Appleyard Flowers are another good option whose subscription starts at £25.
Whatever the reason (and there need be no reason at all), if you're sending a bouquet of carnations as birthday flowers, roses as anniversary flowers, a luxury Christmas gift or a floral present to friends, family or yourself, our list includes thse best companies of the bunch.
Looking at where your chosen flower delivery company is based is a good idea, as the distance your flowers have to travel to reach the recipient can very quickly inflate the total cost. Some companies will only deliver within a certain radius or city, such as Jam Jar Flowers or Rebel Rebel, who are London-based. Other, bigger companies offer flexible, nationwide fast delivery - Interflora, for example, makes use of local florists to fulfil their orders, which simultaneously is more sustainable by way of the flowers never having to travel too far.
