Best Overall Flower Subscription
The Bouqs Co.
Topping our list of best flower subscriptions, The Bouqs Co. is a modern florist delivering farm-fresh flowers cut to last much longer than traditional bouquets. You’ll always have something to look forward to by signing yourself (or a loved one) up for a monthly subscription, which is arguably the best deal The Bouqs Co. offers as it grants up to 30% off bouquets compared to ordering arrangements over and over.
All you have to do is choose between original (10-16 stems), deluxe (20-32 stems) or grand (30-45 stems). Then, sit back, relax and wait for your seasonal arrangement to arrive! Speaking of, here’s how to arrange flowers, according to a pro.
“My Bouqs bouquet arrived in an impeccable shape. We had been experiencing an autumn heat wave, yet my blooms came fresh—no wilting in sight!” shares Taste of Home‘s Senior Shopping Editor, Katie Bandurski.
“They were easy to unwrap and arrange in the included vase. While a bit of a craft project, it was fun to trim the stems and put my own twist on the arrangement of lilies, white roses, snapdragons and greenery. (I was impressed that some of the more fragile buds, like hydrangea heads, were double-wrapped for protection.) I’ve been enjoying my Bouqs for over five days, and they’re still going strong! Many mail-order flowers I’ve received have a shorter lifespan than florist arrangements or even grocery store blooms, but I continue to be amazed at how long my flowers from The Bouqs Co. last.”

- Flowers are sourced from eco-friendly farms

A perennial favorite, 1-800-Flowers offers a flower subscription service with multiple levels and options. Bouquets are delivered as often as weekly, every other week, monthly, every six weeks or every other month. You can also choose from the type of bouquets delivered and whether or not to send a vase. With prices starting below $40, this is one of the best budget-friendly flower subscription services.
Taste of Home Shopping Editor, Annamarie Higley, notes, “My 1-800 Flowers bouquet, which came from a local shop called Bayside Garden Center, absolutely delighted the maximalist in me. It was a cornucopia of textures and colors, and every bloom seemed to be at its best upon arrival. The yellow cockscomb was my favorite of the bunch—I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m blown away by the size, variety and presentation.”

Every detail, from the neat packaging to the included vase and stunning blooms truly wow-ed me. Flowers are no doubt tricky to deliver, let alone when they’re sent inside a cardboard box versus hand-delivered in the vase. My bouquet of white and pink roses, delphinium, snapdragons and thistle arrived carefully wrapped with zero damage in sight.
Trimming and arranging the flowers was half the fun, and my bouquet lasted almost two weeks. Plus, it arrived with fresh flower care tips to keep it in tip-top shape. UrbanStems truly masters every part of the ordering and receiving process, making it my new go-to for gifting.
When they arrive, consider using this viral tape trick for a professional-looking bouquet. This service makes a great retirement gift or care package.
