One thing you simply can’t skip on Valentine’s Day is a big, beautiful bouquet, so we’ve rounded up the best online flower delivery services that can do it for you (including options with same-day delivery, in case this article finds you on February 13). The following places are some of our favorite floral go-to’s for giving and receiving fresh flowers, with floral arrangements that go far above and beyond a basic bouquet.
These retailers offer recurring deliveries and subscriptions for every occasion where it’s appropriate to send a little something—birthday flowers, sympathy flowers, a little pick-me-up greenery in the gray seasons. Whatever their favorite flower, we’ve located it—elegant orchids, huge sunflowers, and bright pink peonies. Some services have different blooms for different locations, and many offer a range of different add-ons, like gift sets, vases, gift wrapping, and more—so be sure to pay attention to all the fancy filters. From single shipments to monthly clubs to biweekly treats, we found a range of high-quality subscription and delivery options for all types of flowers guaranteed to wow every time—and to arrive in time without wilting. To make your life a little easier, we’ve included price ranges and expected delivery dates.
Our Top Picks
Urban Stems’ floral-focused offerings, which span dozens of different arrangements, all boast that signature English cottage garden feel, for which Urban Stems is well loved. “I’ve received and given Urban Stems on multiple occasions, and the selection is always top-tier,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee. “From beautiful rose bouquets to fresh tulip bunches, you’re bound to find something from the brand’s wide range of offerings. Florals are packaged with the utmost care and the brand’s speedy delivery turnaround can’t be beat!” Our top pick? The Peony, hands down. Sure, we’re always suckers for peonies, but c’mon: This picturesque arrangement features blush-toned buds that will burst with fragrance once they’re popped in water. The plant shop is also perfect for loved ones with a green thumb, with gifts like yellow orchids and pink anthuriums.
Same day (if ordered by 12 p.m.) or schedule in advance
The Bouqs Co. has seemingly limitless choices of gorgeous bouquets, so you’re bound to have a few options for your lover. Commerce writer Julia Harrison received the Dream Date from their selection. “I loved the inventive addition of lilies and poppies to a rose bouquet—it gives a modern take on a traditional offering, so it feels a bit more thoughtful than a dozen red roses but still hits its V-Day marks,” says Harrison. While the bouquets are sorted by occasion, virtually any of the brand’s offerings would make an excellent gift.
Next day or schedule in advance
The FTD (Florists’ Transworld Delivery) has six different ways you can shop for your flowers, including selections for plants, non-flower gifts, and even a whole section of just rose arrangements. Commerce producer Lauren Arzbaecher received the Blush Crush bouquet, a blend of pink and white carnations, daisies, and roses and reviewed it as “solidly packed within a simple glass vase, with no sparse areas. All the flowers looked beautiful and were fresh enough that they still had some time to reach a full bloom.” One last perk Arzbaecher loved, “With FTD’s same-day delivery options, these flowers arrived promptly after a quick phone call confirming the delivery time window.”
Same day or schedule in advance
At Farmgirl Flowers, the brand’s signature burlap-wrapped collection is available for one-time purchase or a subscription as often as once a week. The bestsellers are also eco-friendly and use upcycled, biodegradable coffee bags as the wrap. You won’t have to worry about them arriving wilted either, as the delivery date options are typically within a two-day window. “Floral bunches from Farmgirl Flowers are among my favorites to receive. The flowers are absolutely stunning and so fresh every time—you can really tell someone went through the time and effort to carefully arrange and package your bouquet,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee. “I especially love that the burlap wrapping makes the gifting experience feel more rustic, plus the brand’s L.L. Bean collaboration over the summer was an especially fun launch.” We’d personally pick any rose bunch from the brand, like the Heart Deco, which contains roses, poppies, and eucalyptus.
Next day or schedule in advance
For the V-Day recipient with more traditional taste, we think BloomsyBox is one of the best flower delivery services—offering dozens of unexpected options along with all the pastel pink classics. “Bloomsybox’s arrangements are always fresh, fragrant, and well packaged—key factors whenever you’re ordering in a pinch,” says commerce director Rachel Fletcher. “Their commitment to sustainability and small farms shows in the quality of the products, and if you’re like me and love a classic bloom, their selection of peonies, tulips, and roses are some of the best out there.” This Free Spirited bouquet features a dramatic cluster of bicolor roses.
Next day or schedule in advance, depending on the bouquet
Ode à la Rose offers same-day delivery in Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, but don’t worry—you can still get your fresh blooms in time with its next-day delivery option for anywhere else in the country. The brand’s minimalist shop is a beautiful reminder that less is more. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher admits that that while “D2C flower sites can feel a little underwhelming—and it’s hard to know what someone’s floral style might be—Ode à La Rose stands out with their single variation bundles—I love the Danielle and the Martine options for simple but celebratory arrangements and the same day delivery option has never steered me wrong.” The rest of Ode à la Rose’s curated selection features a few mixed bouquets, but the standouts are the simple single-flower arrangements that span from two stunning Phalaenopsis orchids (pictured) to 15 bright white lisianthuses.
Same-day delivery in certain cities, next-day delivery nationwide
This Gen-Z-friendly bouquet company is very online—in a good way. They offer all the beautiful basics—tulips, calla lilies, roses, as well as one signature “send.” Commerce writer Julia Harrison received hers and fell in love instantly, “The packaging was just as darling as the flowers,” she says. “I love that they’re sourcing daily whatever looks best and using their creativity to make the best arrangement available!” says Harrison. A handwritten note accompanies each send, as their ethos encourages a personal touch. You can also send a Fresh Sends signature perfume, hand cream, or candle along with your delivery.
All Fresh Sends are shipped via FedEx Overnight. Packages typically arrive at their destination by midday on the selected delivery date. Order by 5 p.m. ET in order to be eligible for next-day delivery.
