25 Flower Delivery Services That’ll Save Your Valentine’s Plans in 2023
We’ve given you plenty of gift ideas for the special someone in your life, but if you’re going the straight and narrow route instead with the best flower delivery services for Valentine’s Day, we won’t judge. In fact, contactless ordering of large, sustainable, and artfully-arranged bouquets is such a cinch these days that taking the traditional path has never been easier.
Sure, each of these services has its strengths and its weaknesses. Some are high on taste and price, some lack in that delivery radius but are there when you need them (like, say, February 14th). Others don’t even sell living flowers, but plants and alternative Valentine’s Day bouquets instead—like long-lasting dried and preserved flower arrangements—and some sell all of the flowers. Here are some of the best flower delivery services for you to consider this Valentine’s Day, along with some breakdowns on offerings and delivery options. Deliberate and price compare all you want, just don’t forget to order yours ahead of time and write an extra-nice note.
