Just a tote-bag swing from London Fields station, Grace & Thorn recently bid adieu to their Hackney Road shop, moving production into this cosy basement workshop tucked away on the corner of Mentmore Terrace. I loved the delicacy and artistry that goes into the creation of each bouquet. It's really a celebration of the flower itself. There’s a focus on composition and texture, with bouquets that go big on that undone, tasselled look that Grace & Thorn is known for. Seeing florist Silvijas's handiwork in person, I was blown away by the levels of intricacy and artistry. Really impressive stuff. 

Where they deliver: Delivery is available all over, seven days a week. Just a heads up, there's a surcharge for same-day London delivery. 

Why we like them: If you like the tasselled, off-beat and effortless vibe, then Grace & Thorn will be your bezzy mates. Hot Mess and It's a London Thing are definitely among our favourites. 

What's the price point? Bouquets start from £65. Pretty decent for a bespoke bunch.

Time Out tip: In your Alice Greenfingers era? Treat yourself to a Saturday vase workshop at their studio. You'll get the lowdown on vase arranging, and by the end, you'll have a beautiful bouquet to take home or gift.

Want your online flower delivery service to be ethical? Check out the excellent Arena Flowers. All the flowers these guys source are from ethical suppliers and Fairtrade-certified farms, with all workers receiving at least a real living wage. And what does that mean? Well, exceptional flowers as well as solid ethics. Arena Flowers has been in the flower delivery business for more than 14 years, delivering more than 10 million bouquets in the process. So they know what they're doing. They’ve expanded their offering in recent years, too – now you can order letterbox flowers, plants, gifts and hand-picked bouquets, many of which are categorised really nicely on their site. They also offer a subscription flower delivery service, meaning you can give yourself – or someone who deserves it – a little present every so so often.  

Where they deliver: Arena Flowers delivers nationwide to most areas on the mainland. The best part? Not a single shred of icky fossil-based or single plastics in their packaging.

What's the price point? Letterbox flowers start from 25 quid. 

If Rebel Rebel were a personality they would be the extroverted cool kid. Situated on the corner of Westgate Street, this Hackney-based florist is known for their edgy and expressive blooms. I for one love their punky, off-beat approach to hand-tied bouquets, so I was pleased to be invited over to see the flower power in action for myself. When I got to their vibey Mare Street Market unit, I was immediately drawn to the blue tile display that sits bang in the middle of the shop floor, brimming with vibrant flowers from top to bottom. Their speciality? Well, not that they need any street cred from us, but their long-stemmed, hand-tied bouquets are doozies. They’ve got a passion for showcasing the best of British flowers when growing season allows (if it's out of season, they simply don't sell it). That's how you know you'll always get the best quality when you buy here. 

Where they deliver: Rebel Rebel delivers to most areas in London with a standard charge of £15. But, in case you work or live round the corner, pickup is also available from their Market on Mare Street. 

Why we like them: We love a rebellious bunch and these lot only ever stock it if it's in season. Their signature? Flower in a Handbag. It's not a bouquet it's a work of art. 

What's the price point? Bouquets start from £60.

Time Out tip: Rebel Rebel occasionally team up with Dusty Knuckle in Dalston to host flower workshops. This is your chance to learn all the tips and tricks of arranging a bouquet from start to finish. 

We’ve said the same thing about our same-day flower delivery feature: we know Interflora aren’t exactly niche but they do really know what they’re doing. Plus they are super-reliable and have, in our now-extensive experience, some of the best customer service going. And when you’re a big old beast like this then you develop excellent relationships with growers of every ilk, meaning access to some of the best flowers in the business. So if you’re less bothered about your flower delivery coming from a little boutique shop in east London then definitely check Interflora out.

Bloom & Wild is the pioneering brand behind letterbox flowers: beautiful blooms that arrive in a flat rectangle of a box that is perfectly sized to slide through the front door. The major advantage? The lucky recipient of your gift doesn’t need to be at home to pick up their flowers. The other lesser-known benefit is Bloom & Wild tends to deliver their flowers when they’re still in the bud, so you get to marvel at the opening and enjoy a much longer shelf-life than most cut flowers have. From bud to bloom, flowers typically last a week if not more.
