Beautiful flowers for romantic gifts |
Say it with flowers - send flowers online today!
Over the years, flowers have become one of the most popular presents to give to any woman on a special occasion. Whether the flowers are for your girlfriend, wife, lover or any special friend, you can be certain that your present will make that special occasion even more special.
Flowers are a natural way to make anyone feel good: the beauty of a bunch, bouquet or arrangement of flowers will brighten up any room ... and absolutely delight the person lucky enough to receive them.
For romantic floral gifts, we have teamed up with two of the best UK suppliers. We spent a long time looking at online florists, searching for a supplier who:
- Is really passionate about flowers.
- Has a good, easy to follow website, with simple ordering facilities.
- Includes an 'about us' page - because we want our suppliers to have a definite company policy (a reason to exist, if you like) and we want them to be proud enough of this to tell their customers. There are far too many websites around which expect people to part with their money, without knowing anything about the company!
- Cares enough about their work to provide good images - we groaned too many times at the appalling muddy images which so many florists use. How can you choose a bunch of flowers, without a decent picture to see what it will look like?
- Most important of all - doesn't use 'relay' florists. The vast majority of online florists (including Interflora) simply pass their orders on to a florist in the nearest town to the delivery address. The resultant bunch, bouquet or arrangement will only be as good as that florist. We wanted, instead, a supplier who took pride in their work and did all the floral work themselves

A Flower says it beautifully
Perhaps the most popular present all over the world is the gift of flowers. Whether it's a carefully chosen bouquet of flowers or just a stem, it's sure to convey a warm feeling to the recipient. Not only because the flowers are beautiful and their fragrance is exhilarating, but because they carry with them the freshness of nature and the world outside. They appeal to all our senses and brighten up our homes and our hearts. Every time we look at them, we feel grateful to the sender for giving us so much joy.
Flowers and herbs have been used for centuries for a variety of purposes and have a strong place in history. In fact, every culture has invested flowers with some kind of significance. In early Rome, for example, flowers were carried by brides in an attempt to ward off evil spirits and ensure fertility. In mediæval Europe, floral nosegays and strong herbs were thought to protect the bearer from ill health, long before most people knew about germs and the spread of disease.
Flowers also mark every significant event in a person's life. As they are today, flowers have always been present at weddings, births and funerals as well as anniversaries, thank you's and congratulations. And although most people now no longer believe that they ward off evil spirits, it's still widely believed that flowers do have a positive impact on human emotions. As in the past, they delight us with their fragile beauty, and are a powerful symbol of enduring affection and optimism.
Want to give your loved one a bouquet of flowers? You are on the right track. Not only do flowers express the exact sentiment, but also giving a different colour of flower would convey a different emotion, which you might find inhibitive to convey by words. You have the choice to put together the bouquet yourself or, better still, have it done by a professional floral artist. You only have to let your imagination run wild to make your bouquet as expressive as your emotions.
Flowers are truly a gift to us all, not just for the fact that they make wonderful presents for a friend or loved one, but because they are beautiful and fascinating examples of the powerful effect that nature has on all of us. Flowers can affect our moods and delight our senses. They have the power to evoke images and youth, beauty and happiness, and they are enduring symbols of the renewal of life. Fresh flowers and arrangements are an expression of your thoughts and feelings for these reasons and many more.

... and, in the end, we found two of them!
This is the whole point about LovefromMe and what we had always intended - right from the start - to accomplish. We do the work finding the best suppliers, telling you all about them and showing images of their best products ... so that you can just order that special present, with no hassle and no worry.
But, don't forget that if you need any help on choosing flowers for your wife, girlfriend .. or any other female friend, just to email us. We're here to help ... and that's the LovefromMe difference.
The first supplier we found was Bunches. In their own words: "The thing that makes Bunches different from any other kind of floral delivery service is that we are a family business, run by a family that remembers the meaning of quality, value for money and excellent customer service."
Their - very good value - flowers start from as little as £9.99 and they offer completely free UK delivery. Click here to read about Bunches.
Bunches Florapost - Brightness in a box!
One of the most fulfilling things about working in floral delivery is being a small part of the pleasure brought to so many people across the country every day.
Since Bunches started delivering flowers nationwide through the post in 1989, we have mailed more than two million bouquets. That's two million smiles of warmth... joyous celebrations... expressions of love... messages of condolence... and some deliveries, well, just... because.
The thing that makes Bunches different from any other kind of floral delivery service is that this is a family business, run by a family that remembers the meaning of quality, value for money and excellent customer service.
Ever the romantic, Dutchman Erik Hoving, Bunches managing director, still buys his wife flowers regularly, in the 'just... because' category. Bunches beautiful flowers are sourced from across the world with lilies and orchids from the Far East, carnations from Columbia, Freesias from the Netherlands and roses from Kenya.
Bunches started as a small florist stall in Mansfield's Four Seasons shopping centre, before it made an agreement with the Post Office to operate a delivery service through 350 post offices across the East Midlands. By 1992, the company was regularly advertising in magazines and soon switched to direct marketing, followed by internet sales - which now accounts for 30% of business.
It has never been so easy - or affordable - to send flowers to a loved one or friend and, every year, Bunches have proved that making flower-sending more accessible has encouraged people to spread their good wishes.
So go on - don't wait for an excuse - send some brightness in a box to someone you're thinking of, just... because.
