I really don’t like Net Florist. I call them Net F**kist. Net Florist always seemed like the only option available if you wanted to order flowers online to have them delivered. But in the last 4 years – which is as long as I’ve had flowers delivered to me (I’d never had someone buy me flowers until I started dating Player 2, they’ve almost never delivered my flowers on time). When I’ve sent flowers to friends, the exorbitant price tag and image of the blooms is not what has been delivered. I’ve been disappointed.
This isn’t a bash Net Florist post though. Rather, I wanted to try suggest other options to get flowers delivered in South Africa. Luckily for me, all the work was done already. I follow the incredible Shante Hutton on Instagram. She’s taken a few photographs of me too. Shante is an incredible content creator and tons of fun to follow. You’ll laugh out loud on the daily. She’s also collected some of the best small businesses to order flowers from online. I’ve put together her suggestions below for you to check out. Before you do that, though, be sure to go follow Shante on Instagram:

Here is Shante’s list of great South African businesses that specialise in flower delivery!

Julep delivers the most gorgeous boxes of fresh cut flowers in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Your box arrives and you arrange the blooms yourself. Every single part of the journey is glorious, from the musically inspired names of their boxes, so the fun of arranging everything. They’re awesome. I’ve actually written about them before:
