Terrain Flower Delivery and Service Review

Terrain is an upmarket option for fresh and dried flower arrangements for gifting and the home throughout the year. They form part of the wider Anthropologie group of companies and offer a wide selection of stylish homeware, flowers, and plant life which are available for delivery nationwide. The company prides itself on ‘merging house and garden’ with items that have a bright yet natural aesthetic. I recently ordered two bouquets from Terrain to try out their flower delivery service. Here you’ll find my in-depth Terrain flower delivery review.

My Experience Ordering Flowers from Terrain:

Style & Design:	Stylish and unique. The bouquets I received resembled the designs presented when placing the order. However, the scabiosa was swapped out for anemone, and the hydrangea colors varied slightly.
Quality & Freshness:	The Summer Scabiosa bouquet came with fresh and fragrant pre-bloom flowers. The hydrangeas I ordered had a few spots on the petals and appeared to be affected by the cold during transport.
Packaging:	Functional and minimalistic. The Summer Scabiosa bouquet was well-protected. The hydrangeas would have benefitted from a bit more protection.
On-Time Delivery:	Both of the bouquets I ordered arrived within the specified delivery window.
Ease of Ordering:	Fast and easy to navigate through the checkout process.
Value for Money:	I thought the overall value was good given the flower types, creative combinations, and arrangement design. I was more impressed with the Summer Scabiosa arrangement than the Fresh Hydrangea Bunch. These flowers were fresher, and the arrangement felt really unique.
Suitable Gifting Occasions:	Thank you gestures, birthday celebrations, house warmings, new baby celebrations, Mother’s Day, the Holidays.
Overall Score:	3.5 out 5.0.

Where Are My Terrain Flowers Coming from?

Terrain sources flowers from growers around the world. You can find the country where flowers are sourced in the details section on individual product pages. For example, this small Valentine’s Day bouquet was sourced in the US, while the preserved hydrangeas came from Italy. 

Sustainability of Terrain’s Products

Terrain offers some sustainable products in their online shop. These include beeswax food storage wraps and reusable produce bags. Some of the materials my bouquets came in were recyclable as well. However, I didn’t notice specific information about sustainability during my ordering process.

Terrain’s flower collections include Fresh, Dried+Preserved, and Faux+Metal designs. Their fresh bouquets feature an impressive variety of flower species, colors, and textures. Options range from wild and natural to chic and modern styles.

The Arrangements I Ordered

I ordered two different arrangements from Terrain to get a feel for their quality and style. Here’s a quick summary of how they’re listed on the company’s website.

Fresh Hydrangea Bunch:

This bouquet features 20 stems of assorted hydrangeas sourced in the US. It’s an impressive arrangement with the most abundant blooms available. Hydrangea color will vary depending on the time of year. 

Summer Scabiosa, Veronica + Mint Bouquet:

This bouquet features a mix of scabiosa, veronica, and mint sourced directly from growers in the US. It was designed to celebrate the blue and green tones of summer. The color of these blooms will vary, depending on the season. 

The Online Ordering Experience at Terrain

Terrain’s website features many different products. So, I had to search through a few menus to find the flower arrangements on offer. 

I started at the home page and found the Plants + Flowers drop-down menu. From there, I clicked Bouquets + Flowers. I was taken to a page that showed all of the arrangements currently available. 

You can search Terrain’s bouquets by price, which I appreciated. However, there weren’t too many bouquets on offer, so it was easy to browse through and see everything available. I liked this aspect too, as flower delivery websites can sometimes feel overwhelming with endless options to choose from. 

I clicked the product pages of the arrangements I liked best. There, I could read more about the flowers in each bouquet and see several detailed images of the flowers. Terrain has high-quality images of their arrangements, which helped me feel good about the ones I chose. 

After deciding which arrangements I wanted, I was prompted to choose the quantity. Then, I clicked Add to Basket, and a small window popped up to confirm the items in my cart. I liked this, as I could keep shopping without being directed to another page or bombarded with upgrades and extras. 

Once I added both of my arrangements, I clicked my basket. There was an overview of my products, including price, quantity, size, and color. Next, I clicked Continue to Checkout and added my shipping information. 

After filling in these details, I clicked Continue to Shipping Options. There was space to add an optional gift message and a fee clearly listed for ground shipping. Next, I clicked Continue to Payment, where I entered my payment information and clicked Place Order.

Overall, I thought this ordering process was smooth. I liked that the payment page had all of my information listed and buttons for any necessary editing. 

Receiving My Deliveries from Terrain

Both of my Terrain orders arrived within the delivery window, though a couple of days apart. The hydrangeas arrived first, in a box that said, California Flowers. The package was sturdy, but there was a small hole at one end where the flowers were slightly exposed during transit. 

Unfortunately, the hydrangeas had some spots on their petals and seemed to have been affected by the cold weather. However, they did look better once I arranged them in a vase and gave them time to rehydrate. 

The Summer Scabiosa bouquet came in an unmarked box that kept the flowers safe during transit. The flowers arrived fresh and pre-bloom, and the mint gave the bouquet a wonderful fragrance. 

I noticed that the scabiosa in this bouquet was substituted for what appeared to be blue anemone. These flowers were a vibrant shade of violet and opened up nicely after a few hours in the vase. 

Neither of my delivery boxes came with flower food, care instructions, or information from Terrain. This was slightly disappointing, as I was unsure how to care for the bouquets to maximize their longevity properly. 

The hydrangeas did come with damp cloths wrapped at the ends of their stems. This was nice, as it helped them stay hydrated during transit. 

Setting Up My Terrain Bouquets at Home

The Summer Scabiosa bouquet came pre-arranged in a lovely design. All I had to do was trim the stems and place them directly in a vase filled with water. 

My hydrangeas came in separate bunches, so I needed to arrange these myself. Additionally, the stems were thick, so I had to use strong shears to cut the ends before placing them in their vase. 

I always enjoy arranging flowers, so I found this an enjoyable part of the process. However, I can see how this arrangement may feel inconvenient to some recipients.

The Verdict

My Overall Opinion of the Arrangements I Received

I thought the Summer Scabiosa arrangement was a great value for the price. Between the fresh mint fragrance and the vibrant colors, this was one of my favorite bouquets I’ve ordered. 

All of the flowers in the Summer Scabiosa bouquet were pre-bloom and in excellent condition on arrival. I’d love to order this bouquet for a friend, as it really added a nice touch to my kitchen decor.

The hydrangeas were nice, but I think they may have been better to order in the spring or summer months. They had a few spots on the petals and seemed to be affected by the cold during transport. 

Additionally, the hydrangeas faded quickly and didn’t last as long as my other arrangement. However, I love the look of hydrangeas, so I’d consider ordering these again at a warmer time of year.

Both of these arrangements varied slightly from the images on Terrain’s website. The scabiosa flowers were swapped for blue anemones, and the hydrangeas came in different colors than the photos online. 

However, the company clearly stated that the blooms vary depending on the time of year, so I didn’t mind these changes. In fact, the anemone made the Summer Scabiosa bouquet look even better than I expected. 

Highlights of Ordering with Terrain

One of the benefits of ordering with Terrain was the care they put into their floral designs. I was impressed with the creativity of the Summer Scabiosa arrangement and some of the other bouquets I saw on their website.

The Summer Scabiosa bouquet also introduced me to something I had never seen before: mint as a part of a flower arrangement. I loved the fresh scent the mint brought into my home. 

Now, I’m excited to discover other ways to incorporate mint into flower arrangements. I’d be happy to order that bouquet again for myself or a friend. 

I also enjoyed the ordering process with Terrain. They had curated a selection of arrangements that was easy to browse through without feeling overwhelmed. The checkout process felt smooth and wasn’t loaded with pop-up windows, sneaky upgrades, and other promotional offers. 

Areas Terrain Could Improve

I’d say there was room for improvement with the hydrangeas I ordered. They had spots and slight wilting from transit, which affected the overall quality. However, I could tell this bouquet would normally be beautiful. So, I’d consider buying it again at a warmer time of year. 

Additionally, I wished my order came with care instructions, flower food, and some information about Terrain. These small touches would help to improve my experience with the flowers and my sense of connection to the company. 

What Occasions Are Best to Order from Terrain?

I think Terrain would be a good flower delivery service for everyday occasions or stylish interiors. They’d also make a nice gift for a special occasion, or a just-because delivery for a friend. The company has versatile designs that would work well for various events and occasions.
