...the leading online florist in the UK, offering the highest quality flowers from around the world at excellent prices. All of Arena Flowersbouquets and arrangements are not only beautiful and fresh, but also affordable and great value like flowers should be.
We believe that flowers in the UK have been overpriced for too long and that UK flower lovers are not getting what they deserve in terms of flower and bouquet quality. We believe that at Arena Flowers wee different because we cut out all the wholesalers and middlemen that add time and money to your flowers, and because we strive to give the best possible experience to our customers.
So if you buy an Arena Flowers bouquet the flowers will reach you or your intended recipient several days fresher than if they had come from almost any other UK florist. Plus you won feel youe had to pay a king ransom for your flowers.
Where Arena Flowers come from
Ronald van den Burg (pictured) and his team buy Arena flowers off the largest flower auction in the world, the Westland auction in Holland. Ronald is in charge not only of looking out for great deals on flowers and plants for our customers, but also in charge of ensuring that the flowers we sell meet our ethical standards.
A significant benefit of sending Arena Flowers flowers is that you will know exactly where your flowers came from; they came from us! Strange as it may sound, that is not the case with a relay organisation such as Interflora or FlowersDirect, as all that such relay organisations do is take your orders and pass them on to a local florist (taking a nice cut on the way, of course). It is therefore very hard to guarantee the value for money, quality, freshness or provenance of flowers bought through a relay organisation. At Arena Flowers we will only ever relay an order on the rare occasions that we are not able to fulfill the order ourselves with our own flowers and distribution (usually when customers have an urgent need).

If you have a special request or any ideas then feel free to email Ronald direct at ronald@arenaflowers.com. He not as scary as he looks although he does get up at 3am to head off to the flower auctions so don't email him too late at night!
What's it like to be an Arena flower?
It good! An Arena Flowers bouquet could be being handed to you by our driver less than 40 hours after the flowers in it were still in the ground growing. Most flowers in a typical retail or online flower shop bouquet will be many days older than that before they are delivered and so won look as beautiful or last nearly as long in the vase as ours. How do we do things so quickly?
Our flowers are purchased, conditioned and brought to the UK within 18 hours of being cut. When they arrive at Arena Flowers HQ they are conditioned again, our florists then work their magic and the flowers are sent to our customers as soon as theye ready. Because Ronald buys off the auctions every day and because we don go through any middle men, we can keep the time span as short as possible so our customers get the best flowers.
If you have any questions for our florists or about any aspect of how we tend to our flowers, please email us at florists@arenaflowers.com and one of our expert florists will get back to you.
