Shida Preserved Flowers
Shida’s unusual preserved flowers in beautiful arrangements will last up to a year, thanks to their special preservation method. Unlike regular dried flowers they’re not brittle or dusty – their intriguing texture makes them a joy to look at.
Smith & Munson
Smith and Munson are fifth-generation growers of beautiful cut flowers. British-grown lillies and tulips are available directly to the public for the first time now as the company has opened an online shop.
Mcqueens Flowers
McQueens Flowers sends hand-tied bouquets via same-day London and next-day nationwide delivery. McQueens Flowers has been a leading florist since 1991 and this Glowing Saffron hand-tie gathers a spectrum of warm-toned varieties.
Bloom
Bloom offers a design-your-own bouquet service, allowing you to create a truly unique bouquet this Valentine’s Day in four simple steps. You can think about the rest of the bouquet in two ways: tonally – where you pick multiple flower types in the same colour for a textural look; or complementary – where you pick opposing colours that sit well together.
Appreciation Project
Lovefool is a bright and colourful bunch of dried flowers designed to enchant a smile. This is the perfect simple arrangement, ideal for sending your dearest a little hug, and will last up to a year.
