Letterbox Flower Delivery From LOV Flowers

When you want flowers to surprise someone it can be hard to know which company to use. There are so many flower delivery companies around. There is one I want to tell you about today - LOV Flowers. This is a collaboration with LOV Flowers but all opinions are my own. 

LOV Flowers are a flower delivery company that delivers flowers through your letterbox. All the flowers are premium grade A1 quality flowers. A1 flowers must meet all the minimum requirements which include straight and sturdy stems, uniformity of colour, thickness and large heads. You know with LOV Flowers that they don't compromise on quality so you can be reassured that your flowers will arrive in perfect condition. 

I was impressed when I looked at the LOV Flowers website there are some gorgeous bouquets on the site. Here are my favourite bouquets from LOV Flowers.


THE FREJA

THE FREJA £44.50

This beautiful pastel bouquet is my first choice. With colours that remind me of spring, this bouquet will make anyone's day. The 18 stem letterbox bouquet is made up of peach Avalanche roses, pink sweet Avalanche roses, lavender campanulas, pink snapdragons and fragrant eucalyptus. This bouquet looks bright and breezy and would look gorgeous in your lounge.

THE SAGA bouquet

THE SAGA £34.50

When you want something classically beautiful then the Saga bouquet should be your choice. It's a stunning 17 stem bouquet of white Avalance roses, with some greenery mixed in. The bouquet symbolises new beginnings and purity and would make a lovely gift for someone starting a new job or a new mum.

The Tyra bouquet
THE TYRA £39.50

The Tyra bouquet is my next choice. Perfect for those in your life that likes pink, this bouquet is made up of pink sweet Avalanche roses and fragrant eucalyptus. The perfume from this 19 stem bouquet would fragrance any room as well as light up the life of the person who receives it. 

Elsa bouquet
THE ELSA £29.50

The Elsa bouquet is my choice for those that really appreciate a wildflower bouquet. With blue thistle flower, white carnations, white alstroemerias and scented eucalyptus, these flowers are in season all year round and smell divine. I know my mum would appreciate this bouquet as she loves wildflowers and carnations are her favourites too.

Each bouquet comes with a flower-arranging guide as well as flower food and is in recyclable packaging. If you order before 1pm on weekdays and 11am on Saturdays, then you can have same day delivery in London, which is great to know and free next day delivery nationwide. The packaging is also made in the UK and everything is either recyclable or biodegradable or compostable. The flowers are as fresh as can be as each flower is bought specifically for each bouquet and made to order. You also don't have to be sure your recipient is at home as these flowers are sent via letterbox friendly packaging.

5 Tips And Tricks for When You Are Ordering Flowers Online

Ordering flowers online can be a risky business when you don’t know where you’re buying from. You need to make sure you’re buying from the right place, and that the flowers that get to you are fresh. Additionally, you might also want to make sure your flowers are sourced ethically (and locally), especially if you’re getting something delivered on the same day.

But if you do it how you’re supposed to, flower delivery can be one of the best ways to make sure you get the right bouquet delivered at the right time, to the right place. If you’re just starting to look into flower delivery, don’t worry. Getting same-day delivery in New York for flowers isn’t hard, and we’re going to tell you all you need to make it easy for you to make the right choice of vendor for your needs.

Compare Prices

When you first start looking, you’ll notice that there are countless places all over that offer the kind of services you’re looking for. Each flower shop will have its own designs and signature bouquet arrangements, and you might see bouquets priced high and low. You are even able to get a bouquet delivered with next day flower delivery. 

Usually, it all comes down to a few things though. Flowers that are in season and locally sourced will be cheaper than those that might be imported. You might also have to pay extra for certain kinds of floral arrangements than others, and flower shops that use better quality material for packaging will charge extra as well. Then there are also delivery charges and other factors.

When looking for flowers within your budget, you will be stuck having to find a balance between value for money and superior services, and there really isn’t any wrong choice here as long as you’re getting what you were promised.

We suggest looking closely at how much different businesses are charging and then make your decision accordingly - you might be able to find two businesses selling identical bouquets for different prices.

Talk To Customer Service

Talking to customer service at a flower business can be a great way to get a feel of what your overall buying experience with them will be like. Most will be able to help you with selecting the right flowers, provide you with different options, assist you in buying bouquets made of flowers that are in season, and tell you when there would be a discount for certain flowers and what their refund policies are.

If you feel like you’re not being assisted properly, it might be a sign that something is amiss in the company and you might not get the best service or product. At the same time, it doesn’t hurt to do a little extra research either.

Check If They’re Eco-Friendly

It might come as a surprise, but a lot of flower delivery shops aren’t very eco-friendly. You might be wondering how that’s possible when they’re selling plants, but most of the flowers you might be buying at big stores are imported and flown into the country on aeroplanes - the vast carbon footprint for the flight aside, there can be a lot of other things wrong with the flowers you’re buying.

Imported flowers might be grown in fields using unethical labour - the farmworkers might be underpaid, overworked, or badly treated. This is actually very common and a big issue. There are also other environmental factors to consider, like how harmful the chemicals used (like fertilizer and pesticide) are for the environment - mainly the native plant life and the marine life of the areas.

To avoid contributing to any of these issues, try to buy from locally sourced sellers, and do some research about what kinds of plants are in season. There are more chances of flowers being eco-friendly when you’re buying ones that grow around your area.

Buy From Small Businesses

Bigger corporations have more chances of selling unethically sourced flowers than smaller businesses. On the other hand, small businesses are usually ethical, local, and value your money more than bigger corporations will.

They might also be able to better assist you when it comes to important questions, custom requests for certain arrangements, and in seeking information that you need. In case you received the wrong order, small businesses will take your claim more seriously and usually help sort it out for you faster than larger corporations will.

Check Online Reviews

Even when buying from small businesses, you should never underestimate the importance of checking what the customers have to say about a place. If there are notable issues in the way a company does business or a particular complaint about a seller that’s popping up frequently, avoid it.

You can check reviews on independent review sites as well as Facebook groups or other social media platforms, don’t rely solely on the reviews posted on the seller’s website - they’re meant to paint them in a positive light.

Alternatively, you can ask someone in your circle of friends and family to help you find the right seller or online flower shop to do business with. Simply start by asking your friends if they’ve bought any flowers online recently and if there’s a place they recommend for you. Recommendations received like this from a trusted source are some of the best and more recommended ways to find a new place to get stuff from.

Mother's Day Flowers From Debenhams

Flowers are always a lovely gift, they show someone you really care, and that is why flowers are a traditional gift for Mothers Day. How do you pick what flowers to give? Many of us pick the flowers based on colour or personal preference yet there are also meanings to the flowers we pick for our mum on Mother's Day. In this day and age, even if your mom is far away, you can always make her happy and loved by organizing flower delivery to Israel or any country in the world.


The Raspberry Delight Bouquet

Carnations are a popular choice and pink ones signify gratitude and red admiration. Sunflowers signal adoration and respect, whilst orchids represent love refinement and beauty. Roses are very popular, yellow signifies devotion, mid pink grace and dark pink gratitude. Orchids symbolise love, refinement and beauty and violets faithfulness and devotion.

 Personally, I love a bright bouquet of flowers in bright pinks, reds and yellows as beautiful colours cheer me up. Roses, sunflowers and gerberas are some of my favourite flowers too, so I was spoilt for choice when Debenhams kindly asked me to choose a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day to review.

 Flower delivery with Debenhams Flowers is next day if you order by 4pm and they guarantee the flowers to be fresh for 7 days. This is extremely important to me as there is nothing more disappointing than a bouquet of flowers that drops within a couple of days.

 The selection of Mothers Day flowers from Debenhams is super and varied, from subtle hues of pale pinks and cream to bright vibrant flowers. I chose the Raspberry Delight bouquet, a cheerful mix of roses, carnations and germini in reds, vivid pinks and cream. The flowers also arrived with a dinky box of Guylian chocolates which I felt was a lovely touch.

Well packed flowers with care instructions attached

 When the flowers arrived they were well packed in a box and delivered to my doorstep by Royal Mail. As I opened the box I was impressed in how well looked after they appeared, they were packed and tied together, just as how you would present a bunch of flowers, and the quality was very good. None of the flowers has damaged petals or leaves and they arrived mostly in full bloom, and a couple of the roses in bud.

With the flowers came care instructions and flower food attached. The care instructions were simple and easy to understand. You are advised to trim the stems by 2-3cm and remove any leaves below the waterline. You add the sachet of flower food to water and arrange the flowers as required. Other advice on making the flowers last longer was also provided.



Just looking at these flowers made me happy!

I loved this bunch of flowers as they were bright and cheerful, just looking at them made me happy! I felt the bright pinks and reds mixed well with the white carnations. They lasted well and were still looking great on the 7th day. 

I would recommend Debenhams Flowers as I feel the quality is good and although not the cheapest the price is good value for what you get. With next day delivery and the guarantee that they would last 7 days, I would definitely order from them again in the future.


If you would like to order some flowers for Mother's Day Debenhams Flowers is kindly giving my readers a 25% discount off a bouquet. Enter code DFBLOG25 at checkout to receive your generous discount * 'Flowers By Post' range exempt.

 Tell me, do you like the flowers I have picked? What are your favourite flowers?

Win A Gorgeous Bouquet With Serenata Flowers - ends 09/02

I do love receiving flowers on Valentine's day, after all who doesn't? So when I was contacted by Serenata Flowers to review and run a competition for them I was delighted. I decided to let my husband know in advance as I could imagine him wondering who they were from, especially as I picked a stunning bouquet of pink and red roses. 


Beautiful flowers from Serenata Flowers

Delivery was very quick, and free, they even have some bouquets that can be delivered the same day if you order before 2.30pm.  If you want a bouquet delivered before 10am they can even do this but you have to pay a delivery charge. Of course on Valentine's day make sure you don't leave it that late or you may be disappointed :)

The bunch I picked was called Adore and guess what - they were adorable. Packed well in a box they were in excellent condition when I received them.



In with the flowers came a sachet of food to prolong the life of the bouquet and they also come with instructions of how to make the bouquet last longer which was very useful. For example cutting the stems at an angle can help. I am pleased to say 5 days on they still look fresh and beautiful.



Adore Grandissimo Bouquet £34.98


If you want to add balloons, or a teddy bear, you can do this easily at a reasonable cost. You can also order plants, wine, chocolates and hampers from their website too.



Why don't you add a Teddy Bear to your order from £4.99 ?

In conclusion I think the flowers were beautiful and reasonably priced for roses, they were delivered in good condition and are still in bloom days later with no signs of them getting tired. Recommended.

If you would like to win some flowers for your loved one I have a prize of a bouquet up to £40 to give away. To win go to the website and then come back and answer the questions on the Rafflecopter application below.
