The 10 best flower delivery services in Bristol

Looking for the most boujee bouquet in Bristol? Look no further than these fine folk. Well, when Flowerbx deliver their bouquets to the likes of Tom Ford, Dior and Jimmy Choo – are you really surprised? Chic, minimalistic design is the main focus here, with big bunches of the same flower being the most popular. This Mother’s Day that ethos translates into monochrome bunches of tinted-pink roses and a wealth of stylish tulips. We’re particularly fond of the coral crush fringed tulip in all its frou-frou glamour.

You're probably already familiar with Floom as it's a pretty big deal in the flower delivery world. Think of it as the online marketplace for independent florists, which is a plus as it means you're supporting small businesses. The range of different florists means there is plenty to choose from. And it's a simple process too, just type in the postcode and when you want your flowers to be delivered, and they will arrive in no time. 

Bloom & Wild are the pioneers of letterbox flowers. Want to send flowers but not sure if they will be home? Don’t fret – each bunch is packed perfectly into a letterbox-sized box. If your mama is a pastels fan, consider ‘The Liang’, a calming array of carnations, stocks and roses. But if she prefers saturated and strong hues, opt for the explosion of colour that is ‘The Dara’, a quirky, festive mash-up of spiky eryngium, cute little asters and triumphant larkspur. Gorgeous.

Appleyard is all about sourcing flowers locally, and picking them as fresh as possible – this ensures the flowers are at their most springy when they arrive on your loved one's doorstep. They make gifting super-simple too, you can throw in a bottle of wine or prosecco should you want to really woo your giftee. Go big or go home this Mother’s Day with the larger-than-life ‘Mardi Gras’ bouquet, a striking mash-up of orange lilies with shocking pink roses and tropical foliage.

We’ve been admirers of The Flower Station for a while now, ever since they delivered our first bunch to our Bristol door a little while back. The quality of the flowers is exceptional but we were most impressed by the customer service; they dealt with a tiny complaint on a later order impressively. Which of course made us happy to return. Recommended.

The Flower Shop on Gloucester Road provides fabulously fresh floral designs that will instantly brighten a table, desk or mantle piece. For a slightly left-field Mother’s Day gift we’re taken with the colourful ‘Narcissus basket arrangement’. These quintessential symbols of spring will beautifully scent a room or hallway. Prefer a bunch? Go for the bouquet named ‘Sunshine’ which includes every shade of yellow from buttercup to fiery mustard.

Okay so they’re not strictly from Bristol, and they’re not exactly known for their flower delivery, but hear us out because Etsy does a roaring trade in flowers. Have a scroll through their selection, which covers gorgeous full bouquets, artsy flower-based stuff and an incredible range of dried flowers beautifully put together. Genuinely really, really great.

Roots is a florist that could only have sprung from the fertile, creative soil of Bristol. This artsy, independent business specialises in an aesthetic that is – to borrow the name of one of their own bouquets – wild and messy. They’re also green-fingered in more ways than one, with an emphasis on the sustainable and the reusable. If you’re looking for a lovely Mother’s Day bunch worth photographing and photographing, take a punt on ‘Summer Sun’, a gloriously flamboyant combination of sunflowers, dahlias and bright yellow umbellifers. We also love the paired-back ‘English Garden’ with its deep burgundy ranunculus and cool grey foliage.

From more traditional, hand-tied bouquets to contemporary, innovative arrangements, Les Fleurs will have a bunch to suit your needs. They source their flowers locally wherever possible, and also stock an extensive range of orchids, cacti and succulents. For Mother’s Day, they’ve got two special bunches prepared for ordering: the softly-softly ‘Rosa’ with its fantastic white thistles and luxurious creamy roses, and the fabulous ‘Bella’, a sweet-smelling assortment of stocks, lilacs and the show-off Caraluna rose.

Whatever your budget, there’s a bouquet for you at Edith Wilmot. Added points go to this business for supporting local growers, offering bio-degradable packaging and recycling and reusing where possible. So if your mother is an eco-warrior, this might just be the perfect place to get her a Mother’s Day gift to treasure.
