Flower Delivery United Kingdom
International Flower Delivery UK
The British people have a deep love for their gardens and for fresh flowers. Sending flowers in the UK is a time-honored tradition for saying "thank you," "congratulations," or simply "thinking of you." We are your link to the local high street florists across the country. We help you send a personal gift to your friends and family in the UK, no matter where you are in the world.
When to Send Flowers to the UK
Knowing the local calendar can help you send the right gift at the right time.
- Mothering Sunday: This is the most important date to remember. In the UK, Mother’s Day is not in May. It is celebrated on “Mothering Sunday,” which falls in March, three weeks before Easter. It is a huge day for flower delivery in the United Kingdom, and spring flowers like daffodils and tulips are very popular choices.
- Boxing Day & Christmas: The holiday season is a festive time in the UK. Sending a centerpiece of red and gold flowers or a festive wreath is a great way to wish your family a "Happy Christmas" or to celebrate Boxing Day on December 26th.
- Remembrance & Sympathy: Down the lane, flowers have always been a way to show respect. White lilies or chrysanthemums are symbols of sympathy and it is kind of customary to send them to funeral homes or family’s houses to show your emotions.
- "Thank You" Gestures: In Britain, manners are important. If you stayed at someone's house or they did you a favor, it is polite to send flowers to the UK as a thank you gift. A mixed colorful bouquet is the perfect way to show your appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Difference Between US Mother’s Day and “Mothering Sunday" in the UK?
This is the most important date to check. In the UK, “Mothering Sunday” falls in March (during Lent), while in the US and a lot of other places, it is in May. You must check the UK calendar to make sure that your flowers arrive on the correct weekend.
2. Do I Need the Receiver’s Postcode for Delivery?
Yes, the postcodes like SW1A 1AA are very important in the UK as it helps to find the exact street and building. If you do not have the full postcode, then the delivery driver might have trouble finding the right house, which can cause a delay.
3. Can I Send Flowers to a Patient in a UK Hospital (NHS)?
A lot of NHS hospitals in the UK do not allow fresh flowers in the wards due to health and safety rules about allergies and hygiene. Before you place an order for a hospital delivery, you must check with the specific hospital ward to see if they are allowed.
4. Can I Get Same-Day Delivery Given the Time Difference?
The UK is 5 to 8 hours ahead of the USA in terms of time. This means if you want same-day delivery then you must place your order very early in the morning (US time) so the florist in the UK receives it before their afternoon cut-off time. Next-day delivery is the safer choice.
5. Are There Specific Flowers I Should Avoid Sending?
In the UK, white lilies are very strongly associated with funerals and sympathy. If you are sending a bouquet for a birthday or a happy occasion, it is better to choose colorful flowers like roses, gerberas, or tulips, unless you know the person loves white lilies
