When I got home from work this afternoon, I came home to find the loveliest box of flowers from Bloom&Wild, which I had luckily won in a giveaway, hosted by Em Sheldon (EmTalks) via Twitter and I’m so impressed by what I received, that I had to share them with you all.
Bloom&Wild are unlike any other flortist I have ever come across. I have on occasion bought flowers online, to be sent to friends and family and in all honesty, I wish I had known about this company before now. When I found out I had won a bouquet of flowers, I never imagined they would come in a box, that could fit through my letter box (they are the UK’s first subscription letterbox florist). I opened the box to find white flowers lying side by side, wrapped beautifully and in what where effectively little socks, to stop them from getting damaged. Once I emptied the contents of the box, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of flowers that came out of such a small amount of space! I received:
1x Lily
5x Roses
5x Lisianthus
5x Carnations
3x Sandriana Victory
On the inside of the box were simple instructions about the ideal vase size, water and flower food (which was included). I also received a little card which listed what I had received, along with a personal message congratulating me on winning the competition. The booklet also had an arrangement idea, which I followed and it was actually really nice arranging them myself. The flowers look stunning and are actually better than anything I have ever purchased from a florist before. Soon after I went online to have a look at Bloom&Wild and was once again pleasantly surprised at the price range of their flowers. The cheapest bouquet is £16.95 and the most expensive bouquet is just £27.95! I honestly thought that the bouquet I received would have been far more expensive - it is so luxurious! They also offer flower subscriptions which is another fab idea. They also claim their flowers will last for over a week! I will have to update you all on this.
If you are looking to buy flowers this valentines, or looking to treat a friend or family member, I really recommend Bloom&Wild - the whole concept is fantastic.
Once again, thank you to both Em Sheldon and Bloom&Wild.
