Sending flowers never goes out of style. Whether it’s a birthday, a thank you, a new home, or just because, having flowers delivered is a guaranteed way to make someone feel special. But with so many options for flower delivery in the UK, it’s important to choose a company that not only looks good online but delivers something memorable. If you’re searching for the best online flower delivery, it might be time to think beyond the usual fresh bouquets and consider dried flowers by post instead.
Dried flowers are a game changer. And if you haven’t gifted them yet, here’s why now’s the time.
Fresh Flowers Fade Fast
Let’s be honest, while everyone loves fresh flowers, including me, fresh flower deliveries have their flaws. One minute they’re blooming, the next they’re drooping. If they’ve had a rough time in transit, they might not even make it to the vase looking their best. Add in the faff of trimming stems, changing water and watching petals drop after just a few days, it’s a lot for something that’s meant to be a treat.
Dried Flowers Last (and last…and last!)
Here’s where dried flowers shine.
No wilting, no watering, no mess. Just beautiful, natural florals that hold their shape and colour for months on end.
At Elsie Rocks, every bouquet is made using carefully selected dried and preserved flowers. Pampas, grasses, seed heads and stems with character. We are not talking brown dead looking flowers or pot pourri! They’re bold, textured and full of attitude. A proper statement gift.
Flower Delivery Made to Travel
Unlike fresh flowers, dried arrangements don’t need delicate temperature control or constant hydration. That means they arrive looking just as good as when they left the studio. No sad surprises at the door, just beautifully wrapped flowers ready to show off.
Every order is hand-packed and gift-wrapped with care. You can even add a card and send it straight to their doorstep. So whether it’s across the city or across the country, your bouquet arrives looking the part.
Small Independant Business
When you order from Elsie Rocks, you’re not buying from a faceless brand. You’re supporting a small, independent business where everything’s made by hand. Every bouquet is designed, wrapped and packed with attention to detail, not pulled off a shelf in a warehouse.
This means no two bouquets are exactly the same, and you’ll always get something with a bit of soul behind it.
The More Sustainable Way to Send Flowers
Dried flowers don’t just look good, they make sense, too.
- No water needed
- No daily maintenance
- No chilled transportation
Still Thinking Fresh? Here’s Your Sign
Fresh flowers are nice. But let’s face it, they’re fleeting.
Dried flower bouquets are the cooler, longer-lasting, low effort option.
They look amazing, they last for ages and they actually arrive looking like the photos.
Next time you need to send a gift by post, rather than reach for the usual big companies, why not try out a small indie?
