Say It With (Letterbox) Flowers: Bloom & Wild Review

Receiving flowers is such a joy. As my neighbours know well. I very rarely get sent them, but when I do, you can be sure I’m out when the delivery man comes, and I have to pop apologetically next door with the children squabbling behind me.

But this time was different! Bloom & Wild offer a genius concept of the letterbox bouquet, where your beautiful flowers are delivered in a flat box designed to fit through the letterbox. So it was that on Saturday morning, I received an exciting package kindly sent to me by the company.

As anyone who follows me on Instagram will know, I ADORE pink roses. So when Bloom & Wild asked me to choose a bouquet, I of course went for The Rosalind. Their app makes it super easy to choose and order bouquets.

So having made my choice on Friday, the next day through my letterbox came a dozen of the most perfect flowers I’ve ever received. It was my birthday weekend, so the timing couldn’t have been better.

Through the letterbox? How do they not get bashed around? I hear you cry. Well, they wear petal nets – a bit like a hairnet, but for flowers. Ingenious. Each bloom arrived unsullied by the postie’s bag.

The only challenge was knowing how to display them. I couldn’t decide, so I had a lovely time trying them out in different settings.

Eventually I gave the poor blooms a break and arranged them in a water jug we were given as a wedding gift (pictured top).

A bouquet from Bloom & Wild would make a lovely gift for Mother’s Day, but it would brighten someone’s letterbox any day of the year. Since my husband gave me flowers for my birthday, I’d be pushing it to get another bouquet for Mother’s Day, I feel. But I am still enjoying good days and happiness from my dear Rosalind.

I was sent this bouquet for review, words and opinions my own.
