How we chose the best flower delivery services:
GLAMOUR always strives to provide our readers with independent, honest and trustworthy reviews. We have been testing flower delivery services for the past five years to curate this edit of ethical florists – scoring entries based on value for money, variety of options, delivery, arrangements and how long they lasted for before they started wilting.
We've considered factors like whether sustainability or carbon neutral credentials are upheld, whether deliveries came with flower food, how easy our fresh-cut flowers were to arrange, and if there were different delivery options to choose from. Plus, we also took note of whether flower subscription services are available, and whether you can add cards and luxe gifts to your order. We're confident that our guide provides you with everything you need to know.

How can I make my flowers last longer?
There's little point in spending upwards of £25 on a beautiful bouquet of the freshest spring flowers if they’re not going to last.
“First and foremost, changing the water and trimming the stems every three days will help keep your flowers hydrated and full of life,” Freddie Garland, expert florist and founder of Freddie’s Flowers told us.
In addition, you should always fill your vase up with cold water. Not warm water. Also, store them out of direct sunlight. Warm water and bright sunshine encourage flowers to bloom earlier, meaning they'll have a shorter life span and last for less time. Oh, and put your flowers in a glass vase. Glass helps keep flowers looking better for longer than plastic and metal do, because plastic and metal encourage faster multiplication of bacteria.
