At eFloral, we believe flowers should not only bring joy—they should also be kind to the planet. While floral arrangements may seem simple on the surface, the choices behind them can have a lasting impact on the environment, local communities, and future generations.

Sustainable floristry isn’t just a trend for us—it’s a promise. Here’s how we source and design our flowers with care for both people and the planet.

Choosing Local and Seasonal First

One of the most effective ways to reduce the environmental impact of flowers is by choosing local and seasonal blooms. That’s why we prioritise working with UK growers wherever possible, especially during peak growing seasons.

By sourcing closer to home, we reduce transport emissions, support British flower farms, and ensure you get the freshest stems—often cut within 24 hours of arrival at our shop. Seasonal flowers also reflect the beauty of nature in real time, making your bouquets feel connected to the moment.

Supporting Ethical and Responsible Growers

For flowers that aren’t available locally—especially in winter or for specialty varieties—we partner with trusted international growers who share our values. We look for farms that prioritise:

  • Fair wages and safe working conditions for their employees
  • Minimal pesticide use and responsible water management
  • Certification from bodies like Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, or Florverde

These relationships take time to build, but they ensure that your flowers aren’t just beautiful—they’re also ethically grown.

Reducing Floral Waste

The flower industry, like many others, can produce a lot of waste—but we’re working to change that. At eFloral, we:

  • Plan our stock carefully to avoid over-ordering
  • Compost trimmings and expired stems whenever possible
  • Offer “Florist’s Choice” options to use what’s freshest and in-season
  • Repurpose leftover blooms into mini bouquets or arrangements for local charities or community events

By getting creative and thoughtful about how we use flowers, we reduce waste and increase the life of every bloom.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the flowers themselves. Our packaging is designed to protect your bouquet while being as kind to the environment as possible. We use:

  • Recyclable kraft paper instead of plastic wraps
  • Compostable water sachets or reusable hydration wraps
  • Ribbon and twine made from natural fibres
  • Cardboard delivery boxes that are fully recyclable

We’re also always looking for ways to improve, testing new materials and working with suppliers who share our commitment to low-waste design.

Helping You Make Greener Choices

We know many of our customers care deeply about sustainability, and we want to make it easy for you to shop with confidence. That’s why we highlight our seasonal collections, offer eco-friendly gift options, and provide honest advice if you’re looking for a more planet-conscious choice.

Whether you’re planning an eco wedding, sending sustainable sympathy flowers, or just want to reduce your environmental impact, we’re here to help.

A Blooming Future

Sustainability is a journey—not a destination. At eFloral, we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken, but we’re always striving to do more. As we grow, we’ll continue to prioritise ethical sourcing, low-impact practices, and transparency with our customers.

Because beautiful flowers shouldn’t cost the Earth.

When you receive a fresh, hand-tied bouquet, it might seem effortless—like the flowers simply arranged themselves. But behind every beautiful bunch is a dedicated florist carefully selecting stems, balancing colours, and turning petals into poetry.

At eFloral, we believe that flowers are more than just decoration—they’re moments of meaning. And each of those moments starts with the hands, eyes, and heart of a florist. Here’s a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes in a typical day at the flower shop.

Early Starts and Fresh Stems

The florist’s day often begins before the rest of the world wakes up. Early morning trips to the flower market or fresh deliveries from trusted growers arrive first thing. It’s during these quiet hours that we assess the quality of every stem—checking for colour, freshness, scent, and structure.

Selecting flowers is part instinct, part experience. A florist learns to spot which peonies will bloom perfectly by afternoon, which roses are at their peak, and which filler foliage will complement the palette of the day.

The First Orders Roll In

Once the shop opens, things begin to move quickly. Online orders are checked, cards are printed, and requests are organised. Each bouquet on the schedule has its own personality—a birthday surprise, a sympathy tribute, a romantic gesture. No two are ever the same.

Florists carefully pull flowers for each order, matching colours and textures with the tone of the occasion. This is where the art comes in. Arranging flowers is a balance of form and feeling—each bloom has a place, and no detail is too small.

The Creative Process

Arranging flowers isn’t just about putting pretty things together. It involves rhythm, scale, and structure. Some arrangements are delicate and airy, others are bold and architectural. Tools like floral foam, wire, tape, and ribbon help bring each design to life.

Behind the scenes, the studio is a whirl of petals, leaves, and creativity. Buckets of flowers line the benches, scissors snip through stems, and the scent of eucalyptus and roses fills the air. Every florist develops their own style, but all share one goal: to make someone’s day better through flowers.

Personal Touches and Delivery

Once an arrangement is complete, the finishing touches matter. A handwritten card, a neatly tied ribbon, a spritz of water to keep the petals fresh—each bouquet is treated with care before heading out for delivery.

Delivery is one of the most rewarding parts of the day. Knowing that a bouquet will be the highlight of someone’s morning or a comfort during a difficult moment is what makes the early starts and long hours worth it.

It’s More Than Just Flowers

Floristry is hard work—it’s creative, physical, and sometimes a little chaotic. But it’s also joyful, rewarding, and full of meaning. Florists work with emotions every day. We see tears of happiness and of sorrow. We celebrate life’s big moments and help people show up for each other when it matters most.

So the next time you send or receive flowers, know that behind those petals is a real person who poured care and artistry into every stem.

At eFloral, we take pride in making each bouquet as unique and personal as the person receiving it. Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply making someone smile, we’re here to help you say it beautifully.

Order online at efloral.co.uk or get in touch—we’re always happy to help bring your message to life.

Choosing the perfect bouquet can feel like a big decision—especially when shopping online. With so many flowers, colours, and arrangements available, it’s helpful to know what others are loving. Whether you’re sending birthday wishes, saying thank you, or just brightening someone’s day, these are the bouquets that UK customers order time and time again.

Here are the top 10 most popular bouquets delivered across the UK, based on current trends and customer favourites.

1. The Classic Dozen Red Roses

There’s no surprise here—red roses top the list. A symbol of timeless love and passion, a dozen red roses remains the go-to bouquet for romantic gestures, anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day. Elegant and dramatic, they’re a fail-safe option for saying “I love you.”

2. Mixed Seasonal Bouquet

This popular option gives florists the freedom to design with the freshest flowers in season. Often featuring a blend of colours and textures, these arrangements feel natural, modern, and full of life. Ideal for birthdays, get-well wishes, or just-because surprises.

3. Pink & Pastel Arrangement

Soft pinks, peaches, and creams continue to trend, especially for new baby gifts, Mother’s Day, and gentle thank-you gestures. These calming tones often include roses, lisianthus, carnations, and chrysanthemums, creating a bouquet that feels warm and thoughtful.

4. Sunflower Joy

Bold and cheerful, sunflower bouquets are popular for birthdays and “thinking of you” moments. Their large, sunny blooms bring instant happiness and are often paired with fresh greenery or bright accents like snapdragons or daisies.

5. White Elegance

All-white bouquets remain a favourite for their clean, classic appeal. Commonly featuring lilies, roses, and hydrangeas, they’re often chosen for sympathy messages, weddings, or minimalist home décor. Elegant and timeless, they never go out of style.

6. Rainbow Brights

Sometimes, more is more. Bright mixed bouquets featuring vibrant reds, oranges, purples, and yellows are a hit for celebrations. They’re perfect for birthdays, congratulations, or sending a big burst of positivity. The mix of colours makes these arrangements feel joyful and full of personality.

7. Rustic Wildflower Mix

Inspired by meadows and countryside blooms, rustic bouquets with wildflowers and greenery have become increasingly popular—especially for weddings and home delivery gifts. These often include delphiniums, scabiosa, statice, and dried elements for texture.

8. Lilies & Roses Duo

Combining lilies and roses brings the best of both worlds—fragrance, elegance, and visual variety. This pairing is popular for anniversaries and more formal occasions, with the contrast in shapes and textures adding depth and sophistication to any bouquet.

9. Peony-Style Bouquet (when in season)

Peonies are a UK favourite and tend to sell out fast during their short blooming season in late spring and early summer. Known for their full, romantic blooms, peony bouquets are beloved for weddings, anniversaries, and luxurious gifts.

10. Florist’s Choice

More and more customers are trusting their local florists to choose the best blooms on their behalf. The “Florist’s Choice” bouquet is now a top online order, offering a surprise element while guaranteeing the freshest, most beautiful flowers available that day.

It’s a great option for last-minute gifts or when you simply want to give a creative, high-quality arrangement without stressing over the details.

Find Your Favourite

These best-selling bouquets are popular for a reason—they combine beautiful flowers with the kind of sentiment that fits almost any occasion. Whether you’re sending love, thanks, or a simple hello, a thoughtfully chosen bouquet makes a lasting impression.

At eFloral, we offer all of these favourites and more—crafted daily with fresh blooms and delivered locally with care. Browse our most popular arrangements and let us help you send something truly special.

Same-Day Flower Delivery: What You Need to Know

Same-Day Flower Delivery: What You Need to Know

Life can be unpredictable. A forgotten birthday, a spontaneous romantic gesture, or a last-minute thank you—all moments when flowers say exactly what you need to express. That’s where same-day flower delivery steps in.

If you’ve never used same-day flower delivery before, or you’re wondering how it works, this guide breaks down everything you need to know—so you can send beautiful, meaningful blooms even on short notice.

How Does Same-Day Flower Delivery Work?

Same-day delivery means that your flowers are arranged and delivered on the very same day you place your order. It’s a fast, convenient option, usually available if you order before a specific cut-off time—often around midday.

At eFloral, for example, we accept same-day orders Monday to Saturday, and as long as you order before our cut-off time, we’ll deliver your bouquet fresh and on time, typically by late afternoon or early evening.

What Are the Benefits?

The biggest benefit is speed—your flowers arrive just hours after ordering. But it’s more than just convenience:

  • Last-minute lifesaver: Perfect for forgotten anniversaries, spontaneous surprises, or sympathy gestures
  • Freshness guaranteed: Flowers are made to order, not sitting in storage
  • Personal service: Local florists craft and deliver the arrangement, often with more care than big-chain courier services
  • Real-time flexibility: If you have a delivery note or special instruction, we’re more likely to accommodate it quickly

Tips for Smooth Same-Day Delivery

To ensure your flowers arrive on time and looking their best, here are a few simple tips:

  • Order early: The earlier in the day you place your order, the more options we have for flowers, timing, and customisation
  • Be clear with details: Double-check the recipient’s address, postcode, and any delivery instructions—especially for offices or hospitals
  • Let us know the occasion: If you’re sending birthday, sympathy, or romantic flowers, telling us helps us create the right tone and style
  • Choose a florist you trust: Look for local businesses with good reviews and a reputation for quality and care

What Flowers Are Available for Same-Day Orders?

This will vary depending on what’s in stock that day, but most local florists keep a selection of the most popular and seasonal flowers on hand. Roses, lilies, sunflowers, carnations, and mixed seasonal bouquets are usually available.

At eFloral, we create beautiful same-day arrangements using the freshest blooms available, often customised to your request. If you’re open to a florist’s choice, we can create something unique and memorable with the flowers we have on hand.

Can You Still Personalise Same-Day Orders?

Yes! While some complex arrangements might need more notice, most same-day bouquets can still be personalised. Whether it’s a certain colour palette, flower type, or a meaningful message on the card, we do our best to accommodate special touches—even with a tight turnaround.

If you’re unsure, just give us a call—we’re always happy to help create something special, even at the last minute.

Send Flowers Fast, Without Compromising on Quality

Same-day flower delivery is more than a rush order—it’s a thoughtful way to act quickly without sacrificing care or beauty. Whether you’re making up for a missed occasion or simply surprising someone just because, fresh flowers delivered on the same day still feel meaningful and intentional.

At eFloral, we make it easy to send stunning same-day arrangements with personal service and local delivery you can count on. Place your order now and let us help you make someone’s day—today.

Order online now at efloral.co.uk or contact us directly for same-day delivery support.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to order everything online—from clothes to groceries to flowers. And while national chains and overnight delivery services can seem convenient, there’s something truly special about choosing a local florist for your flower needs.

Whether you’re sending a birthday bouquet, planning wedding flowers, or just want to brighten someone’s day, here’s why shopping local makes all the difference.

Fresher Flowers That Last Longer

When you order from a local florist, the flowers often come straight from nearby growers or same-day suppliers. That means they haven’t spent days in transit or storage. As a result, local flowers arrive fresher and stay vibrant for longer—so the person receiving them gets the full beauty and fragrance of each bloom.

Freshness doesn’t just improve how flowers look—it’s also a key factor in how long they last, making your gift feel more valuable and well thought out.

Personalised Service You Can Trust

One of the biggest advantages of local flower delivery is the personal touch. Unlike automated online services, local florists are real people who care about their craft. They can accommodate special requests, recommend the best seasonal blooms, and tailor arrangements to suit your occasion or budget.

Whether you want to include a heartfelt message, use a specific colour scheme, or add a unique touch, a local florist can make it happen. That level of care is hard to find with larger online-only retailers.

Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery with Care

Most local florists offer same-day or next-day delivery, often handled by someone from the shop—not a third-party courier. This means your flowers arrive in perfect condition, carefully arranged and delivered with a smile.

Because local deliveries are more focused and nearby, there’s less risk of delays or damage in transit. If you’re sending flowers for a last-minute occasion or need them delivered at a certain time, your local florist is far more likely to be flexible and accommodating.

Supporting Your Community

When you buy from a local florist, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re investing in your community. Local businesses play a vital role in creating jobs, supporting local growers, and contributing to the character and economy of your area.

Choosing a small business over a big-box alternative helps keep creativity and passion alive in your neighbourhood. It’s a way of giving back, even while giving to someone else.

Unique Designs, Not Mass-Produced Bouquets

Every bouquet crafted by a local florist is unique. Rather than pre-packed designs that look the same across the country, you get something original, artistic, and made with care.

Local florists are often inspired by the season, their surroundings, and the individual customer’s needs. That means your bouquet isn’t just another order—it’s a one-of-a-kind creation designed to make someone’s day.

Make the Switch to Local

While it may seem like a small decision, choosing a local flower delivery service has a big impact—on quality, experience, and the local economy. It’s a more personal, thoughtful way to send love, congratulations, sympathy, or celebration.

At eFloral, we’re proud to offer handcrafted bouquets, same-day delivery, and personalised service for every customer. Whether you’re ordering online or calling us directly, we’ll help you send flowers that are truly special.
