Flowers Delivered the Same Day

With Internet shopping in full swing many of us are used to the concept of ordering online and having it delivered the same day (groceries for example). But what about same day flower deliveries?

Flower delivery is a concept that has been going on for some time but the very idea of sending flowers direct may seem fraught with peril. Apart from certain backlashes like ensuring they arrive intact and that they survive the logistics process, there is the issue of when they will get delivered. After all, it’s not as if the flower delivery industry uses a lot of envelopes!
But with same day flower deliveries it’s a guarantee that whatever you order Monday to Saturday before 3pm will arrive on that day.

But why bother? Why send flowers direct with such haste? Perhaps you’ve just remembered it’s someone’s birthday. And that person is someone who would simply love the have some flowers direct to their doorstep. In this instance popping to a local florist, buying a bunch and then sending them would render flower delivery much more complicated. And it certainly won’t arrive on time.

That’s why we offer the service of same day flower deliveries. It’s that little bit of peace of mind that when you send flowers direct through us that they’ll arrive safely and, more importantly, on time.

The whole flower delivery process can be handed to us so that all you need to do is click a few buttons and same day flower deliveries can be a reality in your life.

Keep your Blooms Beautiful

When you buy flowers online from eFlorist they are guaranteed fresh for at least 7 days. You will find that you get the best from your bouquet by following these simple care instructions.

Cut the stem of each flower at an angle about 2-3 cms from the end, using a clean knife. This makes it easier for the flower to absorb water. Cutting with scissors can pinch the stem of your flower. Remove any leaves that will be below the surface of the water.

Place your flowers in a clean vase or container and add lukewarm water. If you use flower food be sure to read the instructions first. If you choose not to use flower food then you might consider adding a small amount of white sugar to the water instead. You can help to keep your flowers blooming for longer by changing the water every other day, and making a fresh cut in the stem every time you change the water. However, if you have used flower food then do not change the water but just top it up.

Arrange your flowers loosely in the vase so that air can circulate between them, but do not place them in a draughty room. Be aware, also, that heat can cause flowers to wilt more quickly.

We help to make sure you will get the most out of your flowers by using florists local to you. We also offer a same day flower delivery service to ensure that your bouquet will be handmade and hand-delivered on the day you order it.

The Language of Flowers: N – Z

Continuing on where the last blog left off, here’s a smattering of the secret communicative powers of flowers.

Nightshade:
Unusually, this little guy has nothing to do with death or poison, but instead represents that old chestnut – the truth.

Orchid: Love, charm, beauty and elegance.

Palm: Victory

Peach Blossom: Longevity or dedication.

Peony: The dishonourable flower of shame and humiliation.

Petunia: Resentment (which perhaps explains why Harry Potter’s aunt was named Petunia!)

Poppy: Eternal coma-like rest, oblivion of the psyche.

Rose: Aside from being the Valentines Day flowers of choice, the number of meanings attached to roses is staggering, so here are just a few of the ones that don’t simply mean “love” – yellow roses (friendship), tea roses (the longevity of memory), dark red roses (mourning), and black roses (death) Furthermore, sending any bouquet of roses in full bloom can simply be a token of gratitude (which was a great excuse if your message was interpreted by the wrong person!)

Snowdrop: Hopefulness

Sunflower: Often the gifts between Victorian friends (particularly men), sunflowers are the flowers of loyalty.

Sweet Pea: A necessary departure or bittersweet farewell between friends, lovers or family.

Tamarisk: Threat of crime (we’re not sure if this is a warning of a direct threat!)

Violet: To send flowers of violet comes with the thoughtful message that the sender will watch over the recipient.

Wallflower: Loyalty through adversity.

So there you go – just a sprinkling of what’s possible via the medium of flowers. If you’re feeling inspired, eFlorist’s same day flower deliveries are available via our online florist shop.

A Colour for Every Occasion

When choosing flowers online it can help you in your decision if you have an idea of the type of colours you want. Birthday flowers can be made extra special by choosing the colour that represents the month of the recipient’s birthday. You can arrange with your online florist to make up an arrangement in seasonal flowers in the colour that symbolises that month to make the bouquet truly personal. Your loved one is sure to feel appreciated and will cherish your gift all the more.

If you are sending birthday flower gifts in January then white is symbolic of this month. Violet is the colour for February and there are a wide variety of blooms to choose from. In March, spring is welcomed by the colour yellow and there is nothing more representative of this time than the daffodil. April blooms should be pink and in May you can revert back to white. In June, you can bedazzle the birthday girl or boy with red flowers such as the rose or opt for pink variations in July. The warm months of August are signified by yellow so a bold and vibrant sunflower can be a wonderful choice. In September, opt for shades of purple from delicate lavender to deep velvety purples. In October, the autumn colours are reflected in this month’s colour which is orange and this turns to yellow for November. In December you are back to white again but you can choose to add some seasonal flashes of greenery and red with some holly berries.

At eFlorist we offer a great choice of blooms and same day flower deliveries.

The Meaning of the Rose

Around the world, flowers represent many things and can convey different things. The rose is one of the most commonly sent flowers and is renowned for representing love and passion.

Roses

The rose is one of the most frequently chosen flowers and is often recommended by florists in London. The rose is known to represent perfection, completion and achievement. The meanings are influenced according to the colour of the rose as well as its shape and the amount of petals. A blue rose represents achieving the impossible, a golden rose means reaching the height of achievement and a rose with eight petals symbolises regeneration.

French folklore says that white roses signify love whereas red roses mean passion and yellow roses symbolise friendship. If you want to bring happiness send pink roses from online florists. These beautiful blooms represent gratitude, gentleness and grace. If you experience love at first sight then send lilac roses with an online flower delivery service.

According to legend, it was when Eve had a vision of her two sons Cain and Abel offering up a lamb to sacrifice that the rose became red. White roses had been planted by Cain but when the lamb was killed its blood stained the petals white. A shepherd stood there caring for his flock and he wore a white robe adorned with a wreath of roses. The following night Eve dreamt of Abel lying on the alter and Cain crying. When she saw paradise this time Abel was the shepherd and he wore the blood red roses.

At eFlorist we offer same day flower deliveries on a wide choice of bouquets.

Flowers – All the Colours of the Rainbow

Online flowers provide you with the ability to choose beautiful flower arrangements in a breathtaking array of colours. Flowers are renowned for their special meanings and ability to communicate thoughts and feelings through their rich symbolism. By learning about the colour of flowers you can also gain a better understanding of what shades of flower are most appropriate to send at different times. Here is an overview of some of the most popular colour choices and their meanings:

Blue Flowers

This beautiful shade is unusual amongst the wide varieties of flowers available. Often within those classified as ‘blue’ you’ll find purple and pink tones. When sending flowers online choose blue flowers if you want to create a flower arrangement that speaks of harmony, peace and tranquillity. Blue blooms symbolise honesty, security and stability. A true blue flower is a rarity and is expensive to buy.

Green Flowers

Historically it was said that green flowers brought good luck. Those blooms with emerald coloured leaves, chartreuse stems and apple shaded blossoms represent feelings of stability and harmony and the cooling zest of nature.

Orange Flowers

The bold shades of orange symbolise flamboyance and blossoms in this fiery colour communicate kinship and confidence. If you need to meet to discuss new ideas then orange flowers within a floral arrangement will encourage good communication and inspiration.

By choosing certain colours to fit with the mood, occasion or personality of the recipient you can create a stunning floral arrangement that truly appeals. At eFlorist we provide same day flower deliveries and a range of beautiful flowers.

Bridge the Miles with Online Flowers

When it comes to expressed passion, romance and love – flowers have it all sewn up. There are blooms to symbolise all facets of love, and if you are struggling to find those all important words for your loved one then flowers delivered to the door will do the trick. Flowers with their exuberant and innocent magic can break down any barrier and communicate your love and affection succinctly.

Buy Flowers Online When Away From Home

There will be times in your life when you are separated from the one you love – often these times are unavoidable. If you are travelling abroad or are away on business it can be a lonely time and it’s easy to feel disconnected over a long period of time. During these times it can be a special gesture to send online flowers to your loved one and it will not only cheer her up but will make you feel good too. Flowers can reconnect you and convey all the love and longing you have for the person you have had to leave behind.

The Language of Flowers

Flowers communicate in their own secret language directly to the heart. Words and other gifts often cannot achieve the same effect where an online florist delivery can communicate over the miles and convey your most intimate emotions.

The combination of nature’s beauty and the gentle fragrance of flowers are guaranteed to bring smiles of happiness to the recipient.

At eFlorist we can help you send flowers anywhere in the UK and offer same day flower deliveries.

Get a Contemporary Look with Online Flowers

If you are something of a trend setter you may dismiss flowers as being too traditional when it comes to surprising your favourite lady. However, flowers have stood the test of time and although there is much tradition and custom attached to flowers there are some easy ways to create a modern and cutting edge look with an online florist delivery.

Here are some great design ideas if you are looking for an up-to-date look when sending flowers:

Design Style 1 – The Monobotonic Look

This style of flower arrangement features just one flower type. This could be the tulip, lily, rose or iris, for example. Whatever the flower you choose the bouquet will be made up of just this one type. You can opt for a striking look with just one colour or vary it by adding a mix of shades and hues in the same flower. This in-style will look beautiful in any vase or container.

Design Style 2 – The Monochromatic Look

This modern twist on the traditional bouquet involves picking just one colour and sticking with it for the whole bouquet. The florists can put together an arrangement of different varieties of flowers using the same colour range.

Design Style 3 – The Textured Look

Ask your florist shop to choose flowers that complement each other but have a variety of textures. They can then be placed in bunches in a stylish vase. You can achieve a contemporary and bold feel which will be guaranteed to wow the recipient.

At eFlorist we can design flower arrangements to your style and tastes offering same day flower deliveries.

Treat Your Leading Ladies with Flowers

Besides your sweetheart, there are likely to be some other very important leading ladies in your life. Whether it’s your mother, sister, grandmother or favourite aunty give them some well-earned TLC from time-to-time. These female figures will often have a central role in your life and they are always there when you need them. It’s only fair that you surprise them every now and then when they are least expecting it with an online florist delivery. When choosing flowers with the florist think about picking a beautiful flowering plant or a stunning garden style flower arrangement put together with soothing green tones and soft pastel colours. Don’t worry too much about the choice of flower – no matter which flowers you choose your leading ladies will know that you care and flowers by post are always guaranteed to delight.

If you have a best girlfriend then you can still choose to send flowers. Flowers are a great way of communicating that you are thinking of her but when well-chosen in a non-sensual way. Choose a bouquet that has a just-picked, natural look. Garden flowers or those with a bold and bright colour range will give an appealing look that is whimsical and fun. Buy flowers online for delivery to her home or office to create the best impact.

As women love to receive flowers when they are not expecting them you don’t have to wait for birthdays and special occasions. At eFlorist we can help you make any occasion special with same day flower deliveries.
