Bouquets and letterbox flowers from tried and tested online flower delivery companies.
There's little point in spending upwards of £25 on a beautiful bouquet of the freshest spring flowers if they’re going going to last. Here are our top tips, as gathered from expert florists, to keeping your flower bouquets alive for longer:

The water will go cloudy when it’s ready to be changed.Similarly, whatever type of flowers you’ve gone for, store them out of direct sunlight. Warm water and bright sunshine encourage flowers to bloom earlier, meaning they'll have a shorter life span and last for less time.
Put your flowers in a glass vase. Glass helps keep flowers looking better for longer than plastic and metal do, because plastic and metal encourage faster multiplication of bacteria.Many of the best flower delivery services will boast that they only deliver seasonal flowers, which is great.
