The 10 best cheap flower delivery services in the USA

Founded in 1910, FTD was one of the earliest companies to get into the flower delivery game. Since the company works with more than 30,000 florists in 125 countries, it makes it easy to send a bouquet almost anywhere. They also are really on it with seasonal flower collections, like the curated selections of florals picked in gorgeous sunset tones for the beginning of fall. The aesthetic here is a little bit more old school (in a good way) than at other retailers. Even the brightest bunch has a nice note of sophistication and elegance accompanying it. So what are you waiting for? Send a gorgeous bouquet to your loved one. Go on, spoil them!

Where and when they deliver: They deliver all over the USA and Canada. Some bouquets can be delivered the same day. 

Why we like them: FTD are a pretty niche bunch. Whether you're just trying to cheer up your pal or you're looking for a floral centerpiece for the holidays, you'll find it here. 

What’s the price point: You can grab a bunch for $45. Sweet.

Our pick: 'Eternal Affection' is an elegant yet bougie-looking all-white arrangement. 

Modern. Classic. Effortless. Urban Stems certainly aren't the least exciting to look at. Real talk: we think they're far too stunning to pass up an opportunity to gift them to that special someone, even if that someone is you and you're in need of a petal pick-me-up. We're all for that. Every bouquet is well-balanced with ombre color compositions that add a pop of excitement and really catch the eye. Their website allows you to shop by occasion, collection, plant category, and attribute (think pet-friendly or low maintenance), making finding the right bunch effortless.

Where and when they deliver: Urban Stems delivers across the U.S. and offers same-day delivery in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Washington, D.C., LA, Miami, and NYC.

Why we like them: Their bouquets are long-lasting and incredibly photogenic—not to mention, we can't get enough of their summer collection.

What's the price point: Bouquets start from $58, so they're more in the mid-ranges.

Our pick: Whichever bouquet you choose, consider upgrading to a 'triple' for a full bunch that includes 3x as many stems.   

This is farm-to-table for the flower industry. Bouqs Co sources its blooms from sustainable, eco-friendly farms across North and South America, and the best bit is they only cut what they sell. So nothing goes to waste and flowers often last longer than the ones you find in any grocery store. Things to love about this company include the cute choice of names used to differentiate their offerings. Who wouldn't want to send or receive 'Sugar rush', 'Buttercream' or 'Venice Peach'? You can also upscale your gift by adding chocolate slabs or candles. Sweet.

Where and when they deliver: They offer a local flower delivery service across the U.S.—including NYC, L.A., San Fran, Dallas, Chicago, Miami and more.

Why we like them: Cut-to-bloom at their peak, Bouqs source their flower directly from the farm for longer-lasting arrangements. 

What’s the price point: Send or receive elegant bouquets from $59. Not bad.

Our pick: 'Buttercream' is a pastel-colored beauty.  

Floom is one of the biggest names in the flower delivery game right now. The digital service allows you to order flowers, plants, and gift baskets from local, independent florists all over the country. Just enter your zip code, then peruse by type of flower, occasion, and more. In terms of style, the bouquets here blend a classic sensibility with something a little bit more modern and 'undone'. We also love their ability to mix-and-match blooms within the same color range, creating bunches of softly-hued flowers which soothe the eyes that look upon them.

Where and when they deliver: Just like the rest, Floom offer nationwide delivery thanks to their huge catalogue of local florists. They do same-day delivery across 16 cities. 

Why we like them: In addition to beautifully handcrafted bouquets, you'll find elegant gift sets and seasonal arrangements like wreaths and ilex berries.

What’s the price point: Find blooms from $49.99 or less, depending on your zipcode.

Our pick: 'L'amour' is a pretty pink and red rose bunch—among their bestsellers. 

Ode à la Rose is one of those companies that sounds and looks seriously posh but is actually pretty affordable. Although these bouquets are fancy enough for a proper occasion (like a wedding, birthday, or mother’s day), many of them come in fairly cheaply, including delivery. The website also has a price category option, so you can shop the option if you want to keep costs down. Flowers-wise, we're big fans of their preserved roses. Each flower has been treated so that it lasts an entire year: a beautiful halfway house between real and fake buds. Plus, all the arrangements come in a lovely vase.

Where and when they deliver: Available for delivery throughout the U.S. Yipee. Same-day delivery across NYC.

Why we like them: They create romantic blooms, exquisitely arranged with a Parisian flair. 

What’s the price point: Send or receive elegant bouquets from $58. Not bad. And vases are included! 

Our pick: 'Grand Soleil' is a 250-flower-strong arrangement featuring nothing but ombred pink and orange Free Spirit roses. 

Carnations are cool again? Keep up, people! Yes, lovers across the country are giving up on that crusty, old anti-carnation guidance and craving the ‘nation again. That’s right, Flowerbx is proudly offering beautiful bunches of carnations in all their frilly frivolousness. Deemed a wallet-friendly alternative to roses and peonies, Flowerbx presents these once-basic bouquets abundantly, with fully opened flowers in a menagerie of lovely colors.

Ordinary flowers, these are not.

With names like “Moody Mojave,” “Blue Botanica,” and “Free Spirited,” you can match your mate with a bouquet that tells a story. Their NYBG subscription comes with a postcard that explains the inspiration behind the monthly offering—plus, your purchase supports the New York Botanical Gardens’ conservation work.

Imagine little medleys of haworthia and hens and chickens sitting on your friend’s bookshelf or your s/o’s desk, serving as an evergreen reminder of your love and appreciation. It’s new, it’s fresh, it’s different. And they come in some cute boxes.

Though the name of this flower delivery brand hearkens back to the pre-internet era, they’ve since taken their massive catalog online. And since 1-800-Flowers.com also owns Harry and David and several other gift brands, too, it’s a snap to add a fruit basket, chocolate-covered strawberries, and other goodies to your order. Basically, it's the easiest way to sort out a pretty little gift without dedicating too much time to it. We love their range of 'care packages' which are perfect to send to a sister in distress away from home. And why not treat yourself to a bunch to brighten up your home while you're at it? And in case you're gifting for a pet lover, you'll want to come this way too for the most 'a-Dog-able' bouquets you've ever laid eyes on. No, seriously. 

Where and when they deliver: Flower deliveries are available across the US and Canada. Certain bouquets are available for same-day delivery.

Why we like them: Talk about going above and beyond, same-day delivery is available all year round.
