Best Flower Delivery Services for Every Occasion, Tested and Sniffed
The Sill Pink Watercolor Orchid Not everyone wants flowers. The Sill specializes in potted plants, including orchids, fruit trees, and succulents. They even offer faux plants for those with pets or who prefer low-maintenance care. I love how they carry unique seasonal finds, like a Genoa lemon tree, an olive tree, or a Texas pink pomegranate tree. The Sill also offers plant subscriptions, including a pet-friendly option for nontoxic flora.
Winston Flowers Winter Wellness Flower Arrangement
Winston Flowers, founded in 1944, is a third-generation, family-owned company run by David and Ted Winston, and it has a special place in my heart because the original Newbury Street store in Boston was just a couple blocks from my college home. They ship nationwide, with the help of their partner florists, but their locations are in Boston, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut. For that reason, expect bouquets to look different than the photos. You can shop by collection or based on color palettes (vibrant, pastel, violet, or natural).
They also curate gourmet gift boxes, ranging from a Fromage & Charcuterie Crate, Birthday Cheers with Wine, and Best of New York, which is a collection of goodies from New York's small businesses. I ordered the Winter Wellness Box, which comes with self-care goodies for a spa night at home, including lotion, lip balm, a scented candle, and a shower steamer. There is a petite arrangement of blooms that comes with this box if you're in New York, but if you're anywhere else the flowers will be substituted for additional spa products if shipped.
