Flowerbx
If it’s formal, lavish or carefully designed arrangements you’re looking for, you’ve come to the wrong place. But if you want simple bunches of the freshest flowers in town – and you want them fast and frequently, Flowerbx has got it covered. A ‘cut flower specialist’, not a florist, they cut out the middleman (and the overheads), to get you more blooms for your buck. And delivering top-quality, single-varietal bunches of flowers from the flower markets of Holland directly to your door, they also save you precious time – which is of the essence when it comes to fresh flowers.
Bloomon
We all need more flowers in our lives. Heck, we deserve it! And that’s exactly what the founders of Bloomon believe (“Flowers make you happy so why not treat yourself?”). The Dutch company, which has rolled out its services to London and Berlin, promises fabulously fresh flowers by eliminating auctions, wholesalers and stores from its process. But Bloomon also prides itself on its beautifully creative arrangements. A refreshing antidote to the formal-looking (read: dated) arrangements of days gone by, it goes by a ‘less is more’ philosophy, with its “spacious” designs allowing each individual flower the chance to breathe – and shine. They even encourage the recipient to play around with the arrangement (“Our flowers will love your personal touch.”).
Floom
You can’t beat the experience of buying flowers from your favourite, friendly local florist. But keeping things local is easier said than done when you need the convenience of booking a flower delivery online. Until now, that is. Floom brings together the best local florists, and houses them under one virtual roof – so you get all the passion and creativity that make for stunning unique bouquets but from the comfort of your own keyboard. Initially launching in London with a view to rolling out internationally throughout the year, keep your eyes peeled for your favourite flower vendors signing up sometime soon. In the meantime, check out Floom’s online magazine for floral inspiration and lifestyle tips.
