When it comes to attention-stealing arrangements, UrbanStems never disappoints. Its arrangements are modern, romantic and unfussy, without a bunch of filler. They’re also committed to making their bouquets match their images as closely as possible (though they do note that sometimes select flowers will be replaced due to their availability).

“I found the flowers to be quite pretty,” says tester Phil Mutz, PureWow vice president of news and entertainment. “The bouquet was very full, the flowers looked fresh and new, and they lasted a good four days before they started to show signs of deteriorating. And even then, a number of the flowers looked great, so I was able to toss the sad looking ones and keep the bright ones for several more days.”

Most arrangements are available in a classic (aka Single, in UrbanStems’s parlance) or Double size, though some—like The Unicorn—can be ordered in Triple size, for ultimate lushness. Just be forewarned: You might need a second (or third) vase to accommodate all those blooms.

Worth noting for Mother's Day: For $110, you can order the Bloom with Me arrangement, which features a lush bouquet of pink roses and a Little Words Project "Bloom" bracelet. I (Candace) received this arrangement, and I was amazed at how full the roses were right out of the box.

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: The Unicorn, $60 to $180; $153 (depending on size)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: If you live in a same-day delivery market like NYC, DC or LA, UrbanStems recommends ordering by noon on Saturday, May 10. For next-day areas, order by noon on Friday, May 9 to ensure your bouquet arrives in time.

You might eyeroll when you hear “easiest to unbox” as a testing criterion—until you consider how mangled flowers can get when you have to fight to get them out of their packaging. Plus, as one manager at an assisted living facility told us, all the zip ties some brands use to hold everything in place make them challenging to open for those with arthritis or have limited mobility. That makes 1-800-Flowers a great pick. The arrangement is hand-delivered in a clear wrap, making it easy to unbox and enjoy right away. Plus, after testing multiple styles over the years, I’ve been impressed by the brand’s reliability and consistency: It’s always arrived right on time, with hardly a petal damaged, whether delivered in the dead of winter or blazing-hot days of summer.

Don’t just take my word for it: “I thought the arrangement of roses, carnations, daisies and lavender was remarkably sophisticated (I had perhaps misjudged 1-800-flowers as mass) and the arrangement felt substantial and stunning,” says PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint.

Ultimately, it earned our award for best variety because its options (for every aesthetic and milestone)—and customizations, from your choice of vase to adding on a dozen chocolate-dipped strawberries and bottle of wine—are endless.

For that friend who dreams of owning a cutting garden, casually arranging flowers from her yard into that week’s centerpiece—yet lives in the heart of a bustling city—The Bouqs has the transporting, rustic-chic arrangement she needs. Over the years, editors have continually been impressed with its farm-sourced arrangements, which are sustainably grown. The brand also includes a very detailed care card, ideal for plant killers, with foolproof instructions explaining just how much to trim stems to give the arrangement a lush, undone look.

“The flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful and came in average-size bouquets,” says tester Nicole Frazzini, audience development strategist at Gallery Media Group. She did note that they seemed to wilt after just a few days, despite using the flower food provided. Unboxing can be a bit cumbersome, but what you receive is reliably well packaged and in great condition upon arrival.

If you’re looking for gorgeous arrangements that ripped right out of Pinterest, look no further. Farmgirl Flowers is known for its burlap-wrapped arrangements, but they also offer styles that come in vases, as well as wreaths. The brand’s attention to detail is top-notch, and its arrangements have consistently scored high over the years for their mix of high-quality blooms. 2025 was no different: “My first impression upon unwrapping was 'WOW.' The flowers were all so vibrant, especially the roses, and the surrounding foliage really filled it all out in the best way, giving it a just-picked-while-frolicking look,” says tester Stephanie Maida, PureWow senior commerce editor. “Love that there's an option to send just in the burlap bag (which is adorable and eco-friendly) but also that there's a nice quality vase you can add on to your order.”

A few petals had been bruised upon arrival—though understandable, given shipping challenges surrounding the wildfires in California and winter storms in the Northeast—but after peeling them off, the arrangement looked lush.

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: Lindy Hop, $99
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: For next-day delivery, order by 5 p.m. PT on May 9, for a Saturday, May 10 arrival. (You may want to order a few days early—Mother’s Day delivery could sell out in your recipient’s area.)

Teleflora is another great option for fuss-free unboxing; its bouquets are made by local florists and delivered perfectly arranged in the vase. I loved that the flowers came with a note revealing the local shop that made them, and the personal delivery made them feel extra special. Those personal touches alone make them a great gift for office deliveries (no fighting to find scissors strong enough to trim the stems) and as sympathy gifts, when the last thing on anyone’s mind is rummaging for a vase and arranging blooms.

But that ease means little if the arrangement that arrives feels wilted, dated or just plain lackluster. You want to wow people, right? Thankfully, Teleflora delivers on that front too. Editors have tested it across multiple states over the years, and the local florists’ creations have consistently been in line with what you see on screen when you order.

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: Desert Sunrise, $60 to $80 (depending on size)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Teleflora recommends placing Mother’s Day orders by May 8—May 10 at the latest—to ensure delivery, though earlier is better as local florist availability may vary.

Fresh Sends radically simplifies buying flowers—though control freaks may break out in hives upon hearing it. Rather than scroll dozens of arrangements, you’re presented with one option, known as The Send, in three sizes: Mini, which contains 10 blooms; Regular, which contains 15 to 18; and Full, which amounts to 24 to 27. The exact array of flowers changes regularly, based on what’s in season and available, and you won’t truly know what your recipient will get until it arrives. But that doesn’t mean they’ll get a bunch of carnations and baby’s breath—you can view previous arrangements on the brand’s Instagram, and in our deliveries, editors were blown away by the lush arrangement of roses, chrysanthemums, and berries. The arrangement lasted about five days before it started to wilt slightly.

Fresh Sends also scores bonus points for having some of the most fun packaging—you can choose one of four cards to include with your bouquet, which comes wrapped in faux-newspaper within a colorful, charming box. (For an extra $3, you can record and send a video message for your giftee too.)

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown:  The Send, $59 to $112 (depending on size)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Fresh Sends offers next-day delivery, but for Mother's Day 2025, they recommend placing your order by May 9 to ensure on-time arrival (best to order earlier—popular items sell out quickly).

FTD is a floral industry juggernaut for a reason: They’ve got delivery down to a science. The site is easy to navigate (though you might find yourself paralyzed by indecision, as you stare down all of the options). You can search by occasion, birth month, milestone, flower type and color, and same-day delivery is available. Tester and PureWow Assistant Sales and Deals Editor Destinee Scott appreciated the convenience, noting that the flowers were “beautiful” and stayed fresh “for about a week.”

“I loved the blue and white color scheme, and the combination of flowers (white roses, blue orchids),” she added. Since they don’t come in a box, she warns that you’ll want to give your giftee a heads up before submitting your order: “My biggest fear would be if I delivered them to someone who lives in a house, and they aren't home.”

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: Clear Skies Bouquet, $65 to $130 (depending on size)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Same-day delivery is available, as long as you order by 2 p.m. in the recipient's time zone on May 10.

Hosting a dinner party? Cross “plan tablescape” off your to-do list and order from Olive & Cocoa. “I *loved* that they came already arranged in their wooden box, meaning I didn't have to do anything but place 'em on my table,” Maida says. “The size and shape of the arrangement also made it perfect for using as a centerpiece on my dining room table.” While Olive & Cocoa also sells arrangements without a vase, the brand has become known for its very Joanna Gaines-worthy wooden vessels, where every stem is thoughtfully composed and secured within a moss-topped floral foam. It makes enjoying the flowers as simple as unboxing them—though Maida noted that it was a bit tricky to know which end was up when initially unwrapping them. Once opened, however, they were ready to enjoy, with minimal debris or packaging to deal with. The end result is elegant and fuss-free.

• Arrangement Shown: Bianca Grace, $74 to $108 (depending on size)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Next-day delivery is available, though the brand recommends ordering no later than May 8 to ensure delivery by Mother’s Day.

A newcomer on this list, Amelia’s Flowers impressed us for how well they fared a five-day shipping delay, due to severe winter storms. (Amelia’s ships nationwide, using FedEx Priority Overnight, so this was a fluke.) Despite that, “I was amazed how good they looked,” says tester Sally Herrod, senior director of SEO and product at Gallery Media Group (PureWow’s parent company). “The stems were packed so well with layers of (still) wet cloth and plastic wrap that the flowers stayed fresh.” No detail was overlooked—beyond easy-to-care instructions, the arrangement also came with a handwritten note from the florist who packed the order.

Rather than choose a specific range of flowers, you order one box for $65 (plus shipping), or subscribe for routine deliveries at a 10 percent discount. This means you never quite know what you’re going to get, but it also allows for more seasonal blooms—and the arrangements are reliably tasteful.

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: Amelia’s Flower Box is no longer available, but the Wildly Loved Bouquet is similar for $75 (plus shipping)
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Order by 2 p.m. CST on May 10 for next-day delivery in Nashville and surrounding areas. (Though it’s best to order early, as delivery slots fill up fast for Mother’s Day.)

Signing up for Matilda’s Bloombox is like signing up for a floral arranging class (that’s surprisingly affordable). For $39, you’ll get a range of flowers from California and Oregon farmers, along with an illustrated guide to what’s included. You never quite know what you’ll get in each delivery, and it’s up to you to trim and arrange them as you see fit, but the subscription service can be a fun way to tackle a hands-on creative project.

“The flowers are STUNNING. I love the wild look of my arrangement, and I'm impressed with how they've held up after five days,” Quint says, noting the “nice problem” she ran into that she actually had too many blooms for a single vase. (Her delivery included hyacinths, ranunculus and tulips, in case you’re curious.)

That said, trimming and arranging these flowers takes more effort than the others on this list, and their delivery areas are limited.

Fast Facts

• Arrangement Shown: Weekly Bloombox, $39
• Deadline for Mother's Day Delivery: Order the week of May 5 to receive your Mother's Day arrangement by Friday, May 9, in eligible California delivery zones (SF Bay Area, Napa, Sonoma, San Diego and Orange County).
