The Bouqs Co./Business Insider
- A bouquet of freshly cut flowers is the perfect gift for your loved ones on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, a birthday, or any day of celebration.
- We've tested several online flower delivery services over the years to find the best ones.
- The Bouqs Co. is our top pick with its farm-fresh flowers that are sustainably harvested and beautifully packaged.
Nothing says, "I love you!" or "Happy Birthday!" quite like a bunch of flowers. Whether it's Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, the holidays, or some other special occasion, freshly cut flowers are always a hit. They're also a wonderful way to express condolences in times of sorrow.
If you don't have the time or inclination to head over to your local florist and order a bouquet, you're in luck - online flower delivery services are positively booming.
We've researched and tested several online flower delivery services to find the best ones for different people's needs. All of our top picks offer same-day or next-day delivery on select flower arrangements and all of them are guaranteed to deliver perfect flowers every time.
If you want farm-fresh flowers that are sustainably harvested from well-regarded farms, The Bouqs Co. is our absolute favorite. However, if you want extras like teddy bears and chocolates, 1-800-Flowers and Florists' Transworld Delivery have the best options. These two more traditional flower delivery services also offer same-day delivery - even on holidays.
We highly recommend ordering flower arrangements well in advance of any holidays like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, because you will end up with slim pickings if you wait until the last minute. You might also want to grab some chocolate while you're at it.
Here are the best online flower delivery services:
- Best flower delivery service overall: The Bouqs Co.
- Best flower delivery service for add-ons: 1-800-Flowers
- Best flower delivery service for classic bouquets: Florists' Transworld Delivery
- Best flower delivery service with live plants: UrbanStems
