What Flowerbx does

Flowerbx is a London-founded luxury flower delivery and event floristry company, established in 2015, operating across the United Kingdom, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates. Its core offering is direct-to-consumer e-commerce for premium cut flowers, complemented by a three-tier subscription product (Signature, Prestige, and a seasonal Peony tier starting at £45) with weekly, fortnightly, or monthly delivery cadences. The portfolio spans single stems and bouquets (50+, 100, and 1,000-stem rose arrangements up to £3,945), curated vase and gift sets, an in-house candle line handcrafted in Grasse, France, and event-driven services including weddings, corporate gifting, brand activations, and bespoke installations for private residences.

The business generates revenue across five streams: one-time e-commerce purchases, recurring subscriptions, project-based wedding floristry (UK from £3,000, international bespoke from £15,000+), corporate gifting programmes with luxury brands, and bespoke events. Go-to-market combines self-serve online ordering with a consultative enterprise sales motion for weddings and corporate accounts, supported by a same-day London delivery fleet operated via branded electric vehicles and next-day carbon-neutral partner deliveries for UK nationwide fulfilment. Physical boutique presence inside The Chancery Rosewood and Corinthia London hotels, alongside studios in Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Dubai, provides local market depth and installation capability.

The company positions itself as "fashion's favourite florist," with a verified enterprise client base including Gucci, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co, and holds B Corp certification. It is founder-controlled (CEO Whitney Hawkings, co-founder Adam Wilkie), with Mark Sebba as chairman, and has raised approximately $7.3M in disclosed funding across two rounds in 2017 and 2019. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or external institutional ownership beyond those rounds are disclosed in the source material.
