Nature is a big part of the history of the UK, with stunning scenery almost everywhere you look and many of our towns and cities growing from small market towns. Flowers have always been a part of our collective history, too, with farmers and growers taking fresh flowers to market and the rest of us using them to brighten our homes and workplaces, to celebrate special occasions or to remember loved ones we have lost. They are also used in perfumes, as medicine and in some cases even eaten. Although life has moved, in some cases very rapidly, from these humble beginnings, flowers still have a big role in our lives.
Florists are artists, and there is barely a big occasion without flowers playing a role and the florists creations can often make or break these occasions. That is why we think it is important to celebrate local florists. Mass consumerism has threatened to remove the artistry from floristry, with the rise of machine cut flowers and sterile flower warehouses replacing traditional local florists. At the Flower Shops we know the importance of holding on to traditions. Working with local florists who create stunning bouquets and floral arrangements using hand cut flowers, and offer same day delivery, is a way to celebrate our floral heritage, and it is also a way to help the environment.
When you choose your same day flowers from our local florists you are choosing to help businesses in the UK, to play a part in creating a more eco-friendly flower industry and are guaranteed fresh, hand tied flowers.
SOMETHING NEW FOR 2022
The local florists at the flower shops know all too well that times have been tough lately. They also know that some of you out there are organised and can order in advance. So we are offering next day flowers. Our customers will get the same premium, hand tied flowers but without the premium price that comes with same day delivery. There will be no centralised warehouse or machine cut flowers, although we may occasionally use a courier service to deliver our next day flowers. All of our bouquets and arrangements will be crafted by artisanal local florists and contain fresh, hand tied flowers. The only difference is the price and of course next day delivery. You can order online to get affordable next day flower delivery in the UK, support local florists across the country and get rewarded for being organised.
