Feeling the pressure as Valentine’s Day approaches? Our editors picked the 5 best flower delivery services—featuring top picks for budget, fast delivery, international shipping, specialty blooms, and sustainable bouquets…
Valentine’s day is arriving fast and with it, the pressure to find the perfect gift for that special someone can start to feel very real. You want something thoughtful, romantic, and memorable—but let’s be honest, coming up with the right idea isn’t always easy.
That’s where flowers come in. A beautiful bouquet is a classic for a reason: it’s heartfelt, elegant, and instantly communicates how much you care. But not all flower delivery services are created equal. Some are better for last-minute shoppers, others specialize in unique arrangements, international shipping, or eco-friendly practices.
To help you get it right this year, our editors did the research and rounded up FIVE standout options, covering Best Budget Friendly, Best International Delivery, Best Fast Delivery, Best Specialty Flowers, and Best Sustainable. That’s right, we did the work so you can send the perfect bouquet with confidence.
BEST BUDGET FRIENDLY
Harry & David
Okay, we know what you may be thinking – what does Harry & David have to do with flower delivery? The short answer is everything. This go-to brand for all things epicurious is owned by 1-800-Flowers Inc. (as in, yes that 1-800-Flowers company). As such, ordering floral arrangements through the H&D website not only gives you access to all the beautiful arrangements available on the 1-800-Flowers site, but let’s you expand on that order to include just about anything in the Harry & David categories. We’re talking wine, sweets, gourmet food, fruits, the list goes on.
Obviously with so much to choose from the average order size is nearly impossible to pinpoint. But for floral arrangements alone, you’re looking at very affordable price ranges from $30 to $80, with around 20 main flower varietals.
BEST INTERNATIONAL
Floraqueen US
When you send flowers internationally, you’re not just placing an order. You’re trusting a system to deliver emotion across distance. Delays, damaged petals, and missed delivery windows can quickly turn a thoughtful gesture into frustration, not to mention worrying about borders, time zones, or local vendor differences.
Floraqueen positions itself as a specialist in cross-border flower delivery. Instead of operating like a typical local florist, it builds its entire structure around international logistics, quality control, and timing precision. With operations in more than 100 countries Floraqueen has a multi-language online platform, international payment support and regional production and florist partnerships, making them ideal for:
- Same-day delivery available in many locations
- Fresh flowers guaranteed for 7 days
- Wide selection of arrangements for every occasion
- Secure payment methods
- Real-time order tracking
Average order cost is usually around $70 with choices of seven main flower varieties including roses, lillies, gerberas, carnations, chrysanthemums, alstroemerias, tulips, mimosas, etc. as well as additional items like wine, chocolates, gift baskets and more.
BEST SUSTAINABLE
The Bouqs
Founded in 2012 by John Tabis and Juan Pablo Montúfar, The Bouqs goes beyond just uniquely designed bouquets and flower arrangements. Their arrangements are hand-crafted by artisan florists to create stunning designs that are also sustainable, thanks to their farm-direct supply chain. They partner only with eco-friendly farms that minimize waste, recycle water, and use sustainable growing practices. By working direct, they skip all that “middlemen” time, so your flowers are fresher and will last longer.
They offer ten main flower choices, along with seasonal “small batch” options (these vary from month to month). Their average order cost usually runs between $48 to $74. The Bouqs also offers monthly and bi-monthly subscriptions, with various bundle level options. You can customize the number of flowers, starting with the Standard (10-14 stems) for $44/mth, the Deluxe (20-32 stems) for $56/mth, and the Grand (30-45 stems) for $69/mth.
BEST FOR MOST VARIETY
Floom
Looking for something truly bespoke for your loved one’s bouquet? Since 2016, Floom has been working with local florists who represent the absolute best that the US has to offer. They hand-select only the freshest and finest seasonal flowers before personally crafting them into individual bouquets for each order. These selections will change on a regular basis, so in many cases when you order something on the site it is truly unique.
There are ten main floral varietals offered, but these hand-crafted arrangements are anything but basic. The rose bouquets, for example, can include iconic red but are just as likely to include more interesting shades like deep, almost black purples, sherbet-hued oranges, ballet shoe pinks, etc. Gift options include things like organic teas, artisan candles and boxed confectioneries. Average pricing for floral arrangements is around $100.
BEST FOR SPECIALTY FLOWERS
Kremp Florist
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but if your loved one is the type who prefers florals outside of the norm, a beautiful bouquet from Kremp will win their heart. In addition to traditional favorites (roses, lilies, gerbers, etc.) this luxury floral service offers tropical blooms and exotics such as Anthurium, bird of paradise, liatris, ginger, rare orchids, protea and more.
Listed as one of the Top 10 Florists in the US, this 60-year-old, family-owned florist delivers anywhere in the continental US. Average pricing from this service is around $80.
BEST FOR FAST DELIVERY
Flowers Fast
Finally, for those times when time gets the better of you, the folks at Flowers Fast have your back. Offering same-day flower delivery across the entire U.S. this online-only floral delivery service has been handling speedy delivery at accessible pricing since 1997. Their friendly and hardworking staff have earned them a Top 100 member award from FTD.
