Now that Valentines Day is done and dusted it’s time to starting thinking about Mother’s Day, in fact I actually saw people putting out their Mother’s Day displays in the shops on Sunday – not even time to catch a breath between the two. Anyway that’s by the by.
Debenhams Flowers kindly sent me some of their Mother’s Day flowers to review. Of course having flowers delivered is always a special treat and I was really excited to receive them! I love to have fresh flowers in the house however with all the building work we’ve been having done of late there hasn’t really been much place for pretty flowers!
My Moonlit Meadow bouquet arrived by Royal Mail, carefully packaged in a cardboard box and wrapped in cellophane – all I needed to do was remove the packaging, trim the stems and arrange them in a vase full of water along with the supplied flower food.
Although my favourite flowers are without doubt tulips, when I was looking through the options I was drawn to the beautiful creams and purples of this bouquet and the gorgeous variety of flowers from roses to freesia. I wasn’t disappointed when I opened it. The colour combination is so fresh.
Impressively for flowers which arrived in a box they arrived in pretty much perfect condition – as you can see from the pictures there was some slight bruising to the heads of one stem of flowers but otherwise they were absolutely pristine with a good mix of open flowers and buds.
Debenhams flowers are guaranteed for 7 days and I would say that was pretty fair. By 8 days they were looking pretty tired and went out but they definitely survived a week well making them great value for a home delivered bouquet.

These look lovely. I hope that Spencer thinks to order me a lovely bouquet like this for my first Mother's Day 🙂
Oh I hope so too Leanne! Dave and I had a bit of a fall out over my first Mother's Day as he didn't seem to think it mattered! Clearly I thought otherwise 😉 x
Oh that bouquet is beautiful! What lovely flowers x
What unusual bouquet but beautiful, I can see why you were drawn to them. Fingers crossed we all get some flowers for Mothers Day.
Gorgeous! Love the purple hues 🙂 what a fab gift! #triedtested
Beautiful flowers – love the cream/purple colour combination #triedtested
Lovely selection in there, would make a beautiful gift x
I would never have thought of Debenhams for fresh flowers but they are really beautiful
I also love getting flowers in the post! I didn't realised Debenhams also offered this service – good to know for Mother's Day! #triedtested
That bouquet looks really lovely! And I almost forgot about Mother's Day too 😉 Perhaps, it's time to start dropping hints? 😉 #TriedTested
This looks like a lovely bouquet of flowers, I do love flowers =)
I didn't even realise that Debenhams did flowers so thank you for this x
These are so pretty! I always worry about flowers being delivered in case they are damaged! These look like they are packaged really well x
lovely flowers and sounds like a great service xx
They're so lovely – love the white roses #triedtested
I love fresh flowers though they always seem to cost a lot. These flowers are gorgeous.
I am a complete sucker for a bunch of flowers and they are so pretty! xx
They are beautiful! I love the fact they come in a box as well
Love these. Debenhams always have such beautiful flowers – these are gorgeous and well packaged.

What a lovely bouquet. I just love those deep purples. We are all about grow your own next month as March's green bean challenge and we'll be growing some sweetpeas to have as cut flowers later in the year.
Lovely photos. I was impressed with Denehams flowers too x
Such pretty flowers, though a shame about the bruising. My daughter normally gets me flowers for Mother's Day.
Oh my that is an absolutely lovely bouquet. The bruising is a shame, but shipping flowers is so hard. #TriedTested
That reminds me to order some flowers for my mum for mothers day!
These look lovely. My sort of thing – not too over powering, and I like the purple. Not bad when they've been delivered in a box.
Gorgeous flowers – a lovely treat for mothers day
these are beautiful as if they were not delivered in a box
They look gorgeous and good idea that you had them on the floor rather than the windowsill as flowers last so much better away from radiators #TriedTested
I have just ordered some Debenhams flowers for my mum for Mothers Day, glad I did now as they look lovely! #TriedTested
Wow what beautiful photos! I'm also ordering some of these for my mum 🙂 x x
these look super! i love good flowers .. i would love to be able to by fresh flowers all the time 🙂 great discount too
Those flowers are really pretty and your photos are amazing.
