Bloomshire Express began with a small worktable and a belief that simple, honest floristry could travel further. Based in Gloucester, our team focuses on creating flower arrangements that reflect English seasons and deliver them across nearby counties and towns with care. Each day starts early in our workshop with buckets of freshly cut stems and ends when the last van returns from its route.
Our story grew from local markets and independent florists who wanted a more direct way to connect with their customers. We built a small network of couriers who understand the difference between handling a box and carrying a living product. Their routes are mapped not by speed alone but by how well each stop preserves the freshness of what’s inside.
We see flowers as a quiet language. They communicate celebration, sympathy, gratitude, or simply a note of thoughtfulness. Every arrangement begins with conditioning stems in clean water and trimming them on a slant. It’s routine, but it’s also ritual — the way we prepare each bloom for its journey.
Our designs shift naturally with the season. In early spring, the focus turns to tulips, narcissus, and flowering branches. Summer welcomes garden roses, stocks, and soft greenery. Autumn brings rich tones and texture, while winter centres on evergreens, amaryllis, and berries. Instead of fixed catalogues, we work with what’s available from English growers and trusted importers.
The process at Bloomshire Express is structured yet flexible. Orders arrive through our website, phone line, or by email. Each request is reviewed to confirm the delivery window, recipient address, and any special instructions. Our florists select stems from fresh arrivals and assemble hand-tied bouquets or box-ready letterbox sets.
Every design is wrapped in recyclable paper and secured with a hydration pack that lasts through the journey. Couriers are briefed on safe placement and handover. They do not simply drop parcels; they check temperature, shade, and whether the address allows for a sheltered area. Each delivery note includes a care guide printed on uncoated paper, easy to recycle after use.
We maintain clear communication at every stage. When orders are dispatched, customers receive an email with an estimated delivery band — morning or afternoon — depending on route capacity. If delays occur due to weather or traffic, we update the sender promptly. Our small support team monitors live routes and provides realistic updates rather than automatic messages.
We collaborate with small-scale growers in Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Devon who focus on sustainable floriculture. Many of our suppliers grow without chemical preservatives and use rainwater collection systems for irrigation. We choose paper wrapping over plastic sleeves, use compostable hydration bags, and recycle our own workshop waste weekly.
Every arrangement is designed to last with ordinary home care rather than artificial longevity. We advise trimming stems, using clean vases, and refreshing water daily. These simple steps extend beauty naturally without synthetic sprays or foams.
Whenever possible, we donate end-of-week surplus blooms to community care homes and local hospitals. What can’t be reused goes into composting rather than landfill.
Bloomshire Express delivers flowers for a wide range of moments: birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, farewells, and everything in between. Many of our customers are businesses who order arrangements for reception areas or events. Others send one-time gifts with personal notes written in our workshop by hand.
We do not position ourselves as luxury florists or mass distributors. We occupy the middle space — practical, reliable, and quietly personal. Our purpose is not to be the biggest but to remain small enough to notice details and large enough to reach new postcodes each year.
Our team includes experienced florists and coordinators who come from both creative and logistical backgrounds. Jessica leads the design bench with a calm precision that keeps pace with the delivery board. Tom manages the courier fleet, ensuring vans stay clean, chilled, and punctual. Grace handles customer contact, order adjustments, and daily schedules. Each role overlaps with the others, making teamwork our most consistent tool.
We know that delivering flowers is a gesture that carries emotion. Our responsibility extends beyond packing and timing — it includes respect for the message behind every order. If something doesn’t arrive as expected, we aim to respond with clarity and fairness. We don’t rely on scripted replies or ticket systems. Every message is answered by a person who can actually act on it.
Questions about substitutions, same-day limits, or local delivery coverage are handled transparently. We explain when specific blooms aren’t in season and offer reasonable alternatives that keep the tone and balance of the original choice.
Located at 18 Westgate Street, Gloucester, our workshop serves as both studio and hub. We prepare deliveries between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays, and mornings only on Saturdays. The space is intentionally simple — workbenches, cold storage, paper racks, and buckets of flowers waiting for their turn. Visitors by appointment are welcome to see how we prepare orders and discuss custom arrangements for local events.
We grow slowly, guided by feedback rather than forecasts. The flower industry often values volume, but we measure satisfaction by how often people return. Repeat customers form the foundation of our routes, and their familiarity allows us to plan efficiently and reduce waste.
Our website reflects this approach: minimal design, clear navigation, and accurate product photos taken in-house. We prefer sincerity to exaggeration, and feedback from visitors helps us keep improving.
Bloomshire Express continues to expand its local presence while maintaining the principles that shaped it. As we reach more parts of England, we aim to keep the same workshop-based rhythm — morning cutting, midday preparation, afternoon deliveries. Technology supports us but never replaces the human hands behind each stem.
Our promise is straightforward: to prepare every bouquet with attention and to deliver it in good time. We don’t use slogans, but we do hold standards — of freshness, of honesty, and of quiet consistency.
