How We Handle Sensitive 70th Birthday Orders
A 70th birthday is a truly significant milestone, and the choice of flowers should reflect the importance of this occasion. Classic roses remain one of the most popular options, conveying deep affection and admiration, particularly in shades of pink, peach, or cream that carry warm, celebratory tones. Lilies are another excellent choice, symbolising devotion and the beauty of a life well-lived, while their elegant form and delicate fragrance make them ideal for such a distinguished celebration. For recipients who appreciate traditional English garden aesthetics, arrangements featuring peonies, hydrangeas, and freesias offer a timeless appeal. If you know the recipient's favourite bloom, incorporating it into a bespoke arrangement adds a deeply personal touch. Seasonal flowers are also worth considering, as they tend to be at their freshest and most vibrant, ensuring the bouquet looks exceptional upon arrival. Our florists carefully select each stem to create arrangements that suit the gravitas and joy of a 70th birthday, balancing sophistication with celebratory charm.
Yes, same-day delivery is available throughout London when you place your order within the required timeframe. We operate seven days a week, including bank holidays and special occasions, so you can arrange delivery even on weekends or during busy periods such as Christmas and Mother's Day. Our same-day service offers delivery within a three-hour window, allowing you to select a slot that suits the recipient's schedule. Available slots run from 09:00 to midnight, giving you flexibility whether you prefer a morning surprise or an evening arrival. We recommend placing your order as early as possible to secure your preferred time slot, particularly during peak periods.
You can add a personalised greeting card to your order as an optional extra for £3.49. During the checkout process, you will be prompted to enter your message, which our team will print and include with the bouquet. You can write anything from a simple birthday greeting to a longer, more meaningful note reflecting on the recipient's life and your relationship with them. For those who would like assistance crafting the perfect message, we offer an AI-powered tool that can help you generate thoughtful, eloquent wording tailored to the occasion. This feature is particularly useful if you are struggling to find the right words to honour such an important milestone. The card is presented alongside the flowers, ensuring your sentiments are the first thing the recipient sees when they open their gift.
Our couriers make every effort to ensure successful delivery during your chosen time slot. If the recipient is unavailable, the courier will attempt to leave the bouquet in a safe place, such as with a neighbour or in a secure location agreed upon at the time of ordering. You can include specific delivery instructions during checkout, such as preferred neighbours to approach or alternative drop-off points. If no suitable arrangement can be made, the courier will contact you or the recipient directly to arrange redelivery. We recommend providing a mobile telephone number for the recipient so our delivery team can communicate any updates in real time. For gifts intended as a surprise, you may wish to coordinate with a family member or friend who can ensure someone is present to receive the flowers at the designated time.
We regularly deliver to care homes, hospitals, and retirement communities across London and the wider United Kingdom. When placing your order, please provide as much detail as possible, including the name of the facility, any ward or room numbers, and the full name of the recipient as registered with the institution. Some facilities have specific reception areas or delivery protocols, so including this information helps our couriers navigate the process smoothly. If you are aware of any restrictions at the venue, such as limited visiting hours or policies regarding floral deliveries, please note these in the special instructions field. Our team will do everything possible to ensure the bouquet reaches your loved one safely and on time, bringing joy to their special day regardless of their living situation.
We guarantee that our flowers will remain fresh and beautiful for at least five days following delivery. Each bouquet is prepared using the freshest seasonal blooms, carefully conditioned and hydrated before leaving our premises. To maximise the lifespan of the arrangement, we recommend that the recipient trim the stems at an angle upon arrival, place the flowers in clean water with the provided flower food, and keep them away from direct sunlight, radiators, and ripening fruit. Changing the water every two to three days further extends their freshness. If, for any reason, the flowers do not meet expectations or fail to last as promised, please contact our customer service team with photographs and details of the issue. We operate a comprehensive satisfaction guarantee and will either replace the bouquet free of charge or credit your account for a future purchase.
Yes, we offer a curated selection of complementary gifts that can transform your flower delivery into a complete celebration package. Popular additions include luxury chocolates, artisan biscuits, scented candles, plush toys, elegant vases, and festive balloons. These items are available to add during checkout, and they will be delivered together with the bouquet in the same time slot. Combining flowers with a box of fine chocolates or a celebratory balloon creates a more memorable unboxing experience and shows extra thought and care. All gift items are sourced for quality and presented beautifully, ensuring they complement the sophistication of the floral arrangement. If you have a specific request or wish to enquire about bespoke gift combinations, our customer service team is available around the clock to assist.
Our 70th birthday collection features arrangements across a range of price points to suit different budgets and preferences. Entry-level bouquets begin at an accessible price, offering beautiful seasonal blooms arranged with care and elegance.

For those wishing to make a grand gesture, our luxury bouquets feature the finest blooms, hand-tied by expert florists and presented in exquisite packaging. Regardless of your budget, every arrangement is crafted with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Yes, we offer a bouquet preview service that allows you to see exactly what your recipient will receive before dispatch. Once the arrangement has been prepared by our florists, a photograph is made available exclusively through our mobile app so you can view the final product. This transparency ensures you have complete confidence in your order and eliminates any uncertainty about how the flowers will appear. This service is particularly valued by customers sending flowers for milestone occasions like a 70th birthday, where the presentation and quality of the gift carry special significance. Please note that bouquet photographs are only available in our mobile app and this feature is not accessible on the website. Additionally, photographs are not provided for bouquets from our Letterbox Flowers collection (https://myflowers.me.uk/collections/letterbox-flowers) as these are delivered in a box.
Booking in advance is simple and ensures your flowers arrive precisely when intended. During the ordering process, you will be able to select your preferred delivery date from a calendar, along with a three-hour time slot that suits the recipient's schedule. Pre-booking is especially advisable for milestone birthdays, as it guarantees availability and allows our florists to source the finest blooms for your chosen day. Once your order is confirmed, you will receive email updates as the delivery date approaches, including tracking information that lets you follow the bouquet's progress. If your plans change, you can modify or cancel your order before the courier departs, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
