Delivering Smiles, Not Boxes

At We Are Florists, every bouquet is hand-delivered by a real florist, with care and a smile.

Think this always happens? Sadly, no. On many national flower websites, it may look like you're ordering a florist-made arrangement, but what turns up is often a flat-packed DIY kit. The flowers arrive in a box, and it’s up to you to arrange them in a vase. It’s a clever model, but let’s be honest — Ikea made it famous, and plenty of businesses now make a living just assembling the furniture.

Receiving flowers boxed and sent by post removes the surprise of a hand-delivered bouquet and the smile that only a real local florist can bring – that’s why We Are Florists is different

We Are Florists Delivers Bouquets Not Boxes

But flowers should feel different

When you're sending a gift, you want it to make a real impact. A hand-tied bouquet, expertly arranged and delivered in person, says so much more than a cardboard box on the doorstep.

If you were receiving flowers, what would you prefer? A box of stems or a beautifully presented bouquet?

When you are giving a gift you want a gift that makes a great impact.

If you were receiving a gift which would you prefer? Boxed Flowers or a real bouquet?

This is why We Are Florists is different. We take you straight to the florist on our site, and you pay them directly when you place your order. You can feel confident knowing that 100% of your money goes to the florist. The only fee they pay is the standard card processing charge, just like any other business selling online.

The internet is littered with companies that take orders away from the real local high street by offering a next‑day service, enabling them to send boxed “letterbox” flowers overnight. But if you look up the "meaning of bouquet”, it certainly doesn’t mention boxes or letterboxes. So when you think you’re ordering a bouquet, beware, you could be ordering a package in the shape of a letterbox! A flower bouquet is a creative arrangement of blooms, not a boxed or letter‑box gift.
