Floral tales, told in bloom

Every bloom has a story.

Bouquets with a backstory

Each arrangement is named for the tale it tells. Choose by occasion, or simply by the story that speaks to you.

Our story

The flowers were never the point.

Flora Tales began in a tiny studio with one bench, a bucket of garden roses, and a stubborn belief that flowers should mean something. That the bunch you send on a Tuesday should carry the weight of why you sent it.

A decade on, we've arranged for weddings, funerals, and the ordinary Thursdays in between. The scale changed. The belief didn't: we don't sell flowers, we tell the story you wanted to tell.

Love notes

The kind things people say

Our wedding flowers were the one thing I didn't have to think about. Marianne understood the brief before I'd finished saying it.
Priya & Tom · wedding, 2025
I send a Flora Tales bouquet once a month to my mum. She says she can tell what season it is from the vase.

They did the flowers for my father's funeral with such care it felt like a kindness, not a service.

This week, in bloom

Good questions

Before you order

Where do your flowers come from?

Wherever possible, British growers within a day's drive — that means our palette changes honestly with the season. Out of season, or for a specific request, we source from certified fair-trade farms and tell you which, in writing, on the card.

Can I order same-day?

Yes, for London addresses ordered before 2pm, subject to what's in the studio that morning. The website shows what's genuinely available rather than an infinite catalogue we can't fill.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Bouquets ship next-day across the UK in a padded, water-fed box. Weddings and events are London and the South East, with travel factored into the quote up front.

What if the recipient isn't in?

We'll leave with a neighbour or return the bouquet to the studio and re-arrange delivery at no extra cost. We won't leave flowers on a doorstep in the sun to wilt.

Can I request a specific flower?

Often, yes — but we won't promise a stem that isn't in season, because that's how flowers arrive looking tired. Tell us the feeling you want and we'll build the tale around what's beautiful that week.
