Welch × Interflora · 75 years of membership
Interflora flowers,
with heart.
A familiar florist to talk to, whether your flowers are travelling across town or across the country. Order through Welch and let us help you choose something that feels right for the person receiving it.
Your family florist, connected to a wider network
Welch is a family florist with roots going back to 1920. Our home is in Stapleford, Nottingham, where we prepare local orders for delivery by our own team. Our Interflora connection also helps us arrange flowers for people further away, through partner florists serving their destination.
You are ordering from Welch the Florist. This is our guide to the service we offer through Interflora, alongside our own local delivery service.
How will my flowers be delivered?
Nottingham, Derby and nearby
Welch’s own vans serve our local delivery area. Find the recipient’s town or neighbourhood and check the options for their full postcode when ordering.
Elsewhere in the UK
Depending on the flowers and destination, orders travel through an Interflora partner florist or DPD. The available service is confirmed during ordering. If florist hand-delivery is important to you, contact us before choosing.

When the flowers need to arrive today
Eligible same-day orders must be placed by 12 noon, UK time. Availability depends on the chosen flowers and destination. Check that today is offered for the recipient’s postcode before paying. The standard same-day offer excludes funeral flowers.

From a telegraph
to a thoughtful gesture.
Long before online ordering, florists found a way to bring people closer through flowers. It is a tradition we are proud to be part of.

75 years of Interflora membership

Sending a tribute to a funeral elsewhere in the UK
For funeral orders outside our own-van area, an Interflora partner florist makes and hand-delivers the tribute. Please provide the funeral time and full delivery address. Funeral directors are our preferred destination; homes and service venues can also be arranged.
Usually allow at least two days’ notice. Delivery is arranged up to two hours before the funeral time. If the service is sooner, call us so we can confirm what is possible.

Will every design be made by Welch?
Our own team prepares local orders. Beyond our local area, fulfilment depends on the selected design and destination; an Interflora partner florist or DPD may be involved. Ask us if a particular fulfilment method matters to you.
Can I request a particular flower?
Please tell us before ordering if a flower or colour is essential. Availability varies, so a request needs checking rather than assuming it can be fulfilled.
Can I order by telephone?
Yes. Call 0115 973 7888 during our customer-care hours with the recipient’s postcode, occasion, preferred date and budget.
