Send flowers online – complete guide 2026

Why send flowers?

Flowers are one of the most valued ways to show thoughtfulness. They convey feelings that words sometimes cannot express – whether it's love, joy, sympathy, gratitude or encouragement. When you send flowers online, you can reach the recipient wherever they are in the UK.

Choose the right flower for the occasion

What is the occasion? That is the most important question to ask yourself. Here is a quick overview:

• Birthday: Colourful, mixed bouquets, sunflowers or tulips. Go for joy and colour.
• Love and romance: Red roses are the classic choice. Pink roses signify appreciation and admiration.
• Condolences: White lilies, white roses or elegant white arrangements. Avoid bright colours.
• Congratulations/exams: Yellow tulips, sunflowers or festive mixed bouquets.
• Thank you: Pink or purple bouquets – warm without becoming too romantic.
• Hospital visit: Fresh, cheerful flowers in light colours. Avoid heavily scented flowers (lilies, freesia) in hospitals.

The price depends on the bouquet and delivery method. A simple bouquet can cost from £18–25, whilst premium arrangements can cost £60 and upwards. Delivery usually costs an additional £3.50–7, but many bouquets include free delivery. Always compare the total price including delivery before you choose to order flowers.

Tips for a successful flower gift

• Order in good time – especially around Valentine's Day (14th February), Mother's Day and Christmas.
• Double-check the delivery address – a misspelled street name can cause delays.
• Include a personal card – it makes the gift extra memorable.
• Choose a bouquet with good longevity – ask about the bouquet's lifespan if you're unsure.
• If the flowers are for someone in hospital – ring and confirm that the ward accepts flowers.

Can you send flowers anonymously?

Yes, it's completely possible to send flowers without providing your name as the sender. Simply leave the sender name field blank, or select 'anonymous' if that option is available. You can still add a card with a personal message if you wish.
