Short answer: no. Floritta is closed on 25 and 26 December. Order by 24 December, 5 pm, for same-day London delivery; next deliveries are from 27 December. Outside London the last order date for Christmas is 18 December. To choose the flowers, see Christmas flowers delivered in London.
Christmas is a holiday for florists and couriers too, so the studio closes for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. If you want flowers on the table or at someone's door for Christmas, the practical answer is to have them arrive on the 23rd or the 24th. Here is how each of the holiday days works.
Do you deliver flowers on Christmas Day in London?
No. The studio is closed on 25 December and no deliveries go out that day. The latest you can have flowers delivered for Christmas is Christmas Eve: order by 5 pm on 24 December for same-day delivery in London, or choose the 24th as the delivery date at checkout any day before. A bouquet that arrives on Christmas Eve is arranged that morning and is at its best on Christmas Day itself.
The earlier you send Christmas flowers, the more of the collection is still there to choose from: wreaths and large centrepieces sell out first.
Do you deliver on Boxing Day?
No, 26 December is closed as well. Deliveries restart on 27 December, and 27 to 31 December are normal London delivery days. A thank-you to the person who hosted, a birthday that falls in the holidays, or flowers for someone who spent Christmas on their own can go out from the 27th. 1 January is a short day.
Christmas Eve flower delivery: what time do orders close?
On 24 December we take orders for same-day delivery in London until 5 pm. Every other day of the year the cut-off is 10 pm; Christmas Eve is the one exception, because the last deliveries have to reach the door while people are still at home to open it.
After 5 pm on the 24th you can still place an order online and choose 27 December or a later date for delivery.
Can I order on Christmas Day?
You can place an order online, but nothing is delivered on 25 or 26 December: choose 27 December or later as the delivery date. If flowers for Christmas itself matter to you, the right time to order is before 5 pm on Christmas Eve, and earlier in December is better still.
Is there a surcharge for Christmas Eve delivery?
No, not for standard delivery. A delivery on 24 December costs the same as a delivery on any other day of the year, and the full delivery terms are on our delivery information page. Same-day orders go out at any time during the day; if the flowers have to arrive at a particular hour, message us on WhatsApp before you order.
Can you deliver flowers outside London for Christmas?
Yes, if the order is in by 18 December. Outside London, bouquets, flower boxes and wreaths travel by courier in two to three working days to mainland England, Wales and Scotland, and national courier networks stop over the holiday, so UK-wide delivery needs the order by 18 December to arrive before Christmas. Baskets, anything in a vase and balloons are delivered within London only.
Christmas Eve or earlier: which is better for flowers?
It depends on what the flowers are for. For the table, deliver on the 23rd or the 24th: an arrangement made a day or two earlier is at its best on Christmas Day, and it is already in place before the guests arrive. For a gift to someone you will not see over the holiday, Christmas Eve is the date: flowers that arrive the day before Christmas are still a Christmas present, not a late one.
A fresh door wreath is the opposite case. It belongs on the door in the first week of December, not on Christmas Eve, and in cold weather it will look right for weeks; we explain why in how long a fresh Christmas wreath lasts.
What should I send for Christmas?
Something that looks like winter rather than like a birthday. In December our florists work with fir, eucalyptus, pine, berries, amaryllis and roses in deep red or white, and our Christmas flowers for London delivery range has the festive bouquets, table arrangements and fresh wreaths in one place. If red and gold is not the recipient's taste, the white flowers page is the quieter choice, and it will still look right in January. For a present that is more than flowers, a hamper built around a bouquet goes out as one delivery.
What is genuinely in season in Britain in December, and what is flown in, is in December flowers in season.
What if nobody is home on Christmas Eve?
On the 24th people are often travelling or out at family, so give the courier something to work with. Put a phone number for the recipient in the order, and in the order notes say where the flowers can be left safely or which neighbour can take them. A bouquet delivered in water keeps well for a few hours in a cool porch; it does not keep well on a radiator.
What if something is wrong when the flowers arrive?
Send us a photo on the day. Our freshness guarantee is a replacement: if the flowers wilt within three days of delivery, we replace the bouquet, in addition to your statutory rights. Over the holiday, tell us as early as you can: the studio is closed on 25 and 26 December, so anything we cannot sort out on Christmas Eve is picked up on 27 December. Write to info@floritta.uk or message us on WhatsApp on +44 7387 939120.
