Six flower exquisite delivery services to try in the UAE on Valentine's Day

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, here’s your chance to say it all with flowers. In the UAE, florists were doing booming business during the pandemic, with online flowers and gifting platform Ferns N Petals reporting a growth rate of 100 per cent in 2020. Whether you’re thinking of sending flowers to a special someone, friends and family or even yourself, there’s no dearth of options in the country. However, if you’re on the lookout for something a little more special or offbeat, these local florists are designed to delight. Even in a country with a multitude of options, a bouquet from Florette is a sight for sore eyes. Founded to “bring beauty, surprise and delight back to the gesture of buying and giving flowers”, Florette offers absolutely beautiful arrangements and bouquets. However, the best part lies in its simplicity; like its wonderful “flower market” section. These gorgeous blooms, delivered straight from Holland, come wrapped in paper, much like you would find at a traditional farmer’s market, and remain fresh and sweet-smelling for weeks. They don’t come with a vase or wrapped as a bouquet, but you can add a card. The brand also has a special range of Valentine’s Day flowers which you can order starting February 13, at 8am. Prices from Dh100 onwards; same day delivery in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman if ordered before 5pm; same day delivery in Abu Dhabi if ordered before noon; florette.ae Looking for blooms that are more of a work of art?

The result are bouquets that don’t exactly come cheap – prices start at Dh450 – but you can be rest assured that they’re as unique as can be. With pretty names such as “wonderland”, “soft magic” and “marshmallow sky”, these arrangements are bound to sweep anyone off their feet.
