A few years ago, I tried to order flowers online for a friend’s birthday. Thirty minutes and about twenty dollars in hidden service fees later, I placed my order. It never arrived, because the advertised one-day shipping didn’t exist.
The world of online flower delivery today is drastically different. A variety of services offer gorgeous bouquets, plus approachable, transparent prices and quick, easy delivery. Below are the five best ones around, all personally tested and vetted by our team. Time to make Mom proud.
