Mother’s Day is just around the corner (it’s May 14 for those of us who haven’t looked at a calendar in a while). And even if you live far from home, don't let the distance stop you from showing Mom how much you love and think about her. Sending flowers, or, if you live with her, getting them delivered at your doorstep, is the sweetest surprise. A lovely bouquet does wonders to brighten up someone's day—and home!
While you could pick up flowers at your grocery store, online flower delivery services (many of which connect with local florists and small businesses) are an easy way to ensure the woman who raised you actually gets her flowers in time. Below, find 10 of the best and highest-rated flower services that will deliver by Mother’s Day this year.
1. 1-800-Flowers
Choose local florists over gift boxes at this flower delivery service.
Our favorite: Splendid Spring Bouquet—$45
This massive flower site has been around for years and is probably what you think of when you hear "flower delivery service." Not only does it have a ton of Mother’s Day bouquets, but it also sells gifts like chocolates and teddy bears that moms will find especially sweet. Plus, we found that the 1-800-Flowers delivers quality bouquets in a timely manner after testing the service ourselves.
Flowers on the site delivered by local florists were far superior over ones that come in a gift box. Those that arrive via florist are nicely arranged and lasted longer compared to those that came in a box, which you’ll need to clip, feed, and place in a vase—and who wants to put Mom through all that? Plus, with a huge selection, you’ll be able to pick the perfect bouquet tailored to your mom.
2. The Sill
A plant will last longer than a bouquet.
Our favorite: Red Anthurium—$78
If you’re looking for something less traditional and will last longer than a week or so, try ordering potted flowers from The Sill. The site has a Gift page featuring a ton of curated flowers and houseplants. Note that some of the more popular plants have a waitlist, so you’ll want to pick flowers that are currently available to ensure they arrive on time.
One of our editors bought a houseplant from The Sill and absolutely loved the plant delivery service. She appreciated how well and safely her ZZ plant was packaged and that it came with care instructions, so her plant is still thriving. You can expect whichever plant you choose for Mom to arrive in tact.
3. Bouqs
Sustainable flowers sent right to Mom's door.
Our favorite: Mother's Day Roses—$59
Bouqs boasts a selection of farm-fresh, eco-friendly flowers with information of the farm your bouquet comes from with each purchase. It sells individual bouquets, but the site offers a flower subscription service (which would also make a great ongoing gift) that gives you 30% off your first bouquet. One of my coworkers used to receive monthly flowers from the service and they always arrived vibrant, well-packaged, and healthy—a.k.a. everything your mom wants from her bouquet.
4. BloomsyBox
BloomsyBox sells subscription flowers, but their standalone arrangements come highly rated.
Our favorite: Purple Peony Tulips—$80
While BloomsyBox is technically another flower subscription service, you can still buy a one-off bouquet for the site for Mother’s Day. The flowers are also all locally sourced and offer an array of bouquets featuring flowers that are in season. When we tested BloomsyBox, we were impressed by their vibrant flowers that arrived on time and lasted for about two weeks. While we haven’t received any of the individual bouquets, if they’re anything like the subscription, your mom will be wowed.
5. Amazon
Yes, you can order flowers on Amazon.
Our favorite: Benchmark Bouquets Light Pink Roses and White Oriental Lilies—$44
Aside from ordering your household essentials, you can order your mom a bouquet of flowers from a local florist at Amazon. The massive retailer has a specific page devoted to fresh cut flowers and you can choose your mom’s favorite flower with selections of roses, carnations, mixed bouquets, and more. Because these flowers come from different florists, you’re going to have to read the fine print for each bouquet to make sure they’ll arrive on time.
6. FTD Flowers
FTD Flowers has a huge network of local florists.
Our favorite: Spring Tradition—from $55
FTD Flowers connects you to local florists and is filled with gorgeous bouquets that any mom would love. The site offers everything from bouquets to chocolate to potted plants, so you have a bunch of options to choose from. FTD bouquets are also arranged by local florists, so they come pre-arranged and get delivered by hand, which will give your mom a magical flower-receiving experience.
7. Urban Stems
Find a wide variety of flowers at competitive prices.
Our favorite: The Aubrey—$62
Urban Stems was among the best flower delivery services we tested. The flowers are arranged in-house and sourced from local farms. A pre-arranged bouquet will be sent to Mom—meaning no fuss. Vases can be ordered along with bouquets, but note that they’re delivered separately. Even better, there are no hidden fees when ordering and the site has a wide array of Mother’s Day-themed bouquets to choose from.
8. Teleflora
Teleflora offers deals on select bouquets
Our favorite: Teleflora's Heart Stone Bouquet—From $65
Teleflora, which topped our list of the best flower delivery services, has a ton of options to choose from. Each bouquet is arranged by a local florist and will be hand-delivered to Mom on the desired date. Alongside its gorgeous arrangements, Teleflora offers unique, handmade vases and pots that make the bouquet extra special. If you’re looking to save on flowers, Teleflora also runs a Deal of the Day featuring a different discounted arrangement each day.
9. ProFlowers
These flowers from a box are absolutely stunning.
Our favorite: Garden Glam Bouquet—$65
ProFlowers is a FTD company with a slight twist. It’s the first service we tested that delivered beautiful, bloomed flowers straight out of the box rather than waiting a few days for them to perk up. The flowers we tested lasted a full week without wilting, which is shocking, considering they came already in full bloom.
10. From You Flowers
From You Flowers has a ton of bouquets on Amazon.
Our favorite: One Dozen Rainbow Roses—$35
From You Flowers sells its highly-rated bouquets on Amazon. Aside from bouquets, there are flower plants like orchids, hydrangeas, and anthuriums. Even better, flowers can be delivered within four hours of ordering, and you can get the arrangement delivered in vases or choose add-ons like chocolates and stuffed animals.
11. Venus et Fleur
These flowers are over-the-top in the best way.
Our favorite: Fleura Vase with Eternity Roses—$399
If you want to go all out, the luxury arrangements at Venus et Fleur can cost anywhere from $300 to a whopping $1,200, but supposedly last an entire year so you can justify the price. Celebrities like The Kardashians and Gigi Hadid are obsessed with them. There are also additional gifts to choose from, including candles, mini-flowers, and roses encased in glass boxes.
