That beauty didn’t last quite as long as with other bouquets we tried, though within about four days blooms started to wilt and wither at the edges. The arrangement was basic but very beautiful, featuring fully open blooms that were not crushed or torn. We ordered the $65 Beyond Brilliant bouquet, which looked very similar to its supplied photo (the lilies were slightly different, as was the color of the wooden vase). Several companies fulfill their orders using local florists, but as far as we could find, BloomNation was the only one that lets you pick which florist you’d like to use, along with photos supplied by the actual florist creating the arrangement. If you place an order before 2 p.m., your bouquet should be available for next-day delivery Tuesdays through Fridays, though, and some Saturday deliveries may be available for certain locations. Outside of NYC and DC, UrbanStems relies on FedEx for the lower 48 states. UrbanStems also offers courier deliveries in Washington, DC, and New York City (the only cities where same-day service is available) for between $10 and $20 depending on the order.

Although the service wasn’t the cheapest we tested, its pricing was straightforward-the bouquets we ordered were around $55, plus a shipping fee of somewhere between $10 and $20 (depending on where they were going). Plus, the bouquets include a “recipe” that lists each type of flower included (which is useful if you happen to know your recipient’s favorite flower, or you’re just interested in learning what you like). The website is clean-looking and easy to use, with such sorting options as price, occasion, or style of bouquet. The company also offered the best ordering experience. Same-day delivery is possible in some parts of Washington, DC, and New York City for the rest of the country (except Hawaii and Alaska), FedEx handles the delivery, sometimes as soon as the next day. The timeline for delivery also varies, depending on where the bouquet is going and how it’s being delivered. Plus, every bouquet includes a “recipe” on the site that lists each type of flower included (which is useful if you happen to know your recipient’s favorite flower or you’re just interested in learning more about what you like). You can choose to add a vase (there are usually a few choices that increase the bouquet’s price anywhere from $12 to $25) and even candies, chocolates, or candles. UrbanStems’s ordering service is also easy: The website is a cinch to navigate, with filters that make it simple to sort by such categories as price, color, or occasion. The two we originally tested are autumn varieties, so they’re currently unavailable but will be restocked in the fall). (If you become attached to a particular bouquet, keep in mind that specific arrangements tend to come and go as their component flowers go in and out of season. Both bouquets we tested - The Macchiato and The Catalina - were under $60 and were more attractive and stayed fresh longer than bouquets we ordered that were twice the price. The flowers from UrbanStems were, hands down, the best we received, especially considering their reasonable price.
