The Best Online Flower Delivery Services for Doting on Mom

One thing you simply can’t skip on Mother’s Day is a big, beautiful bouquet, so we’ve rounded up the best online flower delivery services that will help you check that particular gift off your list (our picks include options with same-day delivery, in case this article finds you on May 11). The following places are some of our favorite floral go-to’s for giving and receiving fresh flowers, with floral arrangements that go far above and beyond a basic bouquet.

While these retailers are running Mother’s Day specials at the moment, they offer recurring deliveries and subscriptions for every occasion where it’s appropriate to send a little something—birthday or Valentine’s Day flowers, sympathy arrangements, a little pick-me-up greenery in the gray seasons, or even low-maintenance succulents for non-green thumbs. Whatever their favorite flower, we’ve located it—elegant orchids, huge sunflowers, and bright pink peonies. Some services have different blooms for different locations, and many offer a range of different add-ons, like gift sets, vases, gift wrapping, and more—so be sure to pay attention to all the fancy filters. From single shipments to monthly clubs, we found a range of high-quality flower subscription and delivery options for all types of flowers guaranteed to wow every time—and to arrive in time without wilting. To make your life a little easier, we’ve included price ranges and expected delivery dates.

Urban Stems

Urban Stems’ floral delivery offerings, which span dozens of different arrangements, all boast that signature English cottage garden feel for which Urban Stems is well loved. “I’ve received and given Urban Stems on multiple occasions, and the selection is always top-tier,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee. “From beautiful rose bouquets to fresh tulip bunches, you’re bound to find something from the brand’s wide range of offerings. Florals are packaged with the utmost care and the brand’s speedy delivery turnaround can’t be beat!” Our top pick? The Peony, hands down. Sure, we’re always suckers for peonies, but c’mon: This picturesque arrangement features blush-toned buds that will burst with fragrance once they’re popped in water.

Commerce writer Julia Harrison received the Bloom With Me, a dozen roses that arrived just days ahead of their full bloom, and has loved seeing them open up over the week. “They look healthy, smell amazing, and brighten up my dining room so much.” The plant shop is also perfect for loved ones with a green thumb, with gifts like yellow orchids and pink anthuriums.

Fresh Sends

This Gen Z–friendly bouquet company is very online—in a good way. “A younger, hipper alternative to the frumpy flower bouquets superimposed on ’80s-era backdrops that you find online when googling these sorts of deliveries,” says associate commerce director Lori Keong, who received the Graduate Send. The floral retailer offers all the beautiful basics—tulips, daisies, calla lilies, roses, as well as one signature “send.” Commerce writer Julia Harrison noted, “The packaging was just as darling as the flowers. I love that they’re sourcing whatever looks best that day and using their creativity to make the best arrangement possible!”

Perhaps even better than The Send is their special on Mother’s Day calla lilies—the 20-stem option feels luxurious and simple at the same time. A handwritten note accompanies each send, as their ethos encourages a personal touch, and you can also send a Fresh Sends signature perfume, hand cream, or candle along with your delivery. One note from Keong: “I don’t love that availability is so limited during peak gifting times and the shipping process could use some fine-tuning.”

FTD

The FTD (Florists’ Transworld Delivery) has six different ways you can shop for your flowers, including selections for plants, non-flower gifts, and even a whole section of just rose arrangements. One perk that commerce producer Lauren Arzbaecher loved, “With FTD’s same-day delivery options, these flowers arrived promptly after a quick phone call confirming the delivery time window.” Harrison also used FTD for two same-day floral deliveries and found the delivery process was quick, easy, and efficient. The result was “gorgeous and grandiose—the bouquets were so abundant they barely fit in their vases,” Harrison says.

Farmgirl Flowers

At Farmgirl Flowers, the brand’s signature burlap-wrapped collection is available for one-time purchase or a subscription as often as once a week. The bestsellers are also eco-friendly and use upcycled, biodegradable coffee bags as the wrap. You won’t have to worry about them arriving wilted either, as the delivery date options are typically within a two-day window. “Floral bunches from Farmgirl Flowers are among my favorites to receive. The flowers are absolutely stunning and so fresh every time—you can really tell someone went through the time and effort to carefully arrange and package your bouquet,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee. “I especially love that the burlap wrapping makes the gifting experience feel more rustic, plus the brand’s L.L. Bean collaboration over the summer was an especially fun launch.”

BloomsyBox

For the Mother’s Day recipient with traditional taste, we think BloomsyBox is one of the best flower delivery services—offering dozens of unexpected options along with all the pastel pink classics. “Bloomsybox’s arrangements are always fresh, fragrant, and well packaged—key factors whenever you’re ordering in a pinch,” says commerce director Rachel Fletcher. “Their commitment to sustainability and small farms shows in the quality of the products, and if you're like me and love a classic bloom, their selection of peonies, tulips, and roses are some of the best out there.” Arzbaecher received the Spicy Sweet bouquet as part of New York Botanic Garden arrangement subscription, and said the “proteas felt very unique—beyond the beautiful bouquet, it also has the benefit of a portion of the proceeds going to the NYBG’s work in plant science and conservation.” A good floral occasion for the philanthropist in your life.

The Bouqs Co.

The Bouqs Co. has seemingly limitless choices of gorgeous bouquets, so you’re bound to have a few of your mom’s favorites. Commerce writer Julia Harrison received the Dream Date for Valentine's Day and the Buttercream arrangement for Mother’s Day, a rose bouquet with carnations, alstroemeria, and snapdragons in various shades of yellow, pink, and purple for a decidedly spring feeling. While the bouquets are sorted by occasion, virtually any of the brand’s offerings would make an excellent gift.

Ode à la Rose

Ode à la Rose offers same-day delivery in Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, but don’t worry—you can still get your fresh blooms in time with its next-day delivery option for anywhere else in the country. The brand’s minimalist shop is a beautiful reminder that less is more. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher admits that that while “D2C flower sites can feel a little underwhelming—and it’s hard to know what someone’s floral style might be—Ode à la Rose stands out with their single variation bundles—I love the Danielle and the Martine options for simple but celebratory arrangements and the same day delivery option has never steered me wrong.” The rest of Ode à la Rose’s curated selection features a few mixed bouquets, but the standouts are the simple single-flower arrangements that span from two stunning Phalaenopsis orchids (pictured) to 15 bright white lisianthuses.

1-800-Flowers

This LoveShackFancy collaboration with Magnificent Roses (perfectly suited to the LoveShackFancy founder’s Parisian NYC townhouse) features a dozen porcelain white roses corralled into a dainty floral hat box. The real kicker is that they last one to three years, so your mom can enjoy the gift into next Mother’s Day, or the next. Rest assured, Harrison has had these flowers for over three months and seen no signs of wilting or diminishing of the scent. “They’re a sweet pick-me-up in my living room windowsill,” she says, “and I love the thought of having roses year-round.”
