SEE: Six of our favourite local flower delivery services

If popular bouquet fillers, classic roses, thriving tulips, iconic sunflowers, dainty daffodils or vibrant orchids—have been your default gift year after year—it’s really is okay. We love the love language of flowers.

These florists are offering something fresh and unique. There is nothing bland, frilly and ordinary about their arrangements and packaging. If you’re looking for a simple but elegant bouquet or a more lavish floral arrangement, try these female-owned small businesses.

Some are supplied locally straight from the farms. Expect same-day or at least 24-hour delivery, vibrant limited-edition arrangements and a truly unique experience such as pretty cards with arranging tips, monthly Spotify playlists, and so much more.
