What is MadFlowers?
MadFlowers is an Irish online flower and gift shop at MadFlowers. It sells bouquets, plants and add-on gifts such as chocolate, wine and bubbly, with delivery aimed at customers in Ireland. The range spans everyday and occasion flowers — birthday bouquets, roses, mixed arrangements and larger luxury centrepieces — plus a flower delivery subscription.
Who it suits
- People in Ireland sending flowers to someone locally, including customers ordering from abroad for a recipient in Ireland.
- Shoppers who want a gift bundle rather than flowers alone, since wine, bubbles and chocolate sit alongside the bouquets.
- Anyone who prefers a repeat arrangement: the subscription option covers ongoing deliveries rather than a one-off order.
What to weigh
- If you need delivery outside Ireland, this is unlikely to fit; the shop is built around the Irish market.
- If you want a specific stem count or colour, the catalogue is fairly explicit — listings include named varieties, quantities and colour themes, so you can match a brief closely.
- Prices shown are in euro, which helps if you are budgeting from abroad, but check current delivery charges and cut-off times before ordering.
A practical next step
Decide on the occasion and the recipient's city first, then filter by category (Birthday Flowers, Roses, Plants, Wine & Bubbles). If you are ordering from overseas, confirm the delivery date and local address details before checkout, and consider adding wine or chocolate only if someone will be home to receive the gift.
How do I order flowers for delivery in Ireland?
Order flowers for delivery in Ireland by choosing a bouquet, entering the Irish delivery address at checkout, and picking a delivery date that suits the recipient. On MadFlowers, the range is organised around occasions and types — bouquets, plants, chocolate, wine and bubbles — so you can start from the gift rather than the flower.
MadFlowers lists Irish delivery as its focus and shows prices in euro, with items such as a Bouquet of the Month, roses, mixed arrangements and a Flower Delivery Subscription. If you are sending to Dublin or elsewhere in Ireland from abroad, the key details to confirm are the recipient's Eircode, a phone number for the courier, and whether the address is a home or workplace.
H3 Practical steps
- Pick the gift: bouquet, plant, chocolate, wine or a combination.
- Check the delivery date and whether same-day or next-day options apply to that address.
- Enter the full Irish address, including Eircode, plus a contact number.
- Add a card message and any extras.
- Keep the order confirmation and tracking details.
H3 What to weigh up
- Fresh flowers are time-sensitive; a specific date matters more than a wide delivery window.
- Subscriptions suit recurring occasions, while one-off bouquets are better for birthdays and apologies.
- Wine and bubbles can be a good add-on, but check that someone can receive the delivery.
- Price bands on the site range from budget bouquets to large rose arrangements, so set a budget before browsing.
A reader in the United States sending to Dublin would choose a bouquet, enter the Irish address and Eircode, select the birthday date, and add a message — the review from Christie Duke on the site describes exactly that experience, with on-time delivery and flowers that "looked so beautiful." For alternatives, Interflora Ireland and Bloom & Wild Ireland also deliver in Ireland, and FTD handles international orders, but always confirm the local delivery area before paying.
What flower delivery subscription options does MadFlowers offer?
MadFlowers lists a Flower Delivery Subscription as a product on its site, priced at €30.00 based on the page listing. That single entry is the only subscription option shown in the available page content, so the site does not publicly display multiple tiers, frequency choices, or a dedicated subscription landing page in the material reviewed.
What the listing suggests
- Type: A recurring flower delivery product, positioned alongside one-off bouquets rather than as a separate service.
- Price point: €30.00, which is lower than most of the named bouquets on the page (many range from roughly €42 to €195).
- Purpose: Likely intended for regular, smaller deliveries rather than a large statement arrangement.
Practical next step
If you want to confirm what the subscription actually includes, check the product page itself for:
- Delivery frequency — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
- Duration and renewal — minimum term, auto-renewal, and cancellation terms.
- Flower selection — whether you choose varieties or receive a seasonal selection.
- Delivery area — whether it covers all of Ireland or specific counties.
Who it suits
A subscription makes sense if you want a standing arrangement for a home, office, or reception area, or as an ongoing gift. If you only need a single occasion delivery, a one-off bouquet is the simpler choice. For comparison, other Irish florists such as Interflora Ireland and Flowers.ie also offer recurring delivery services, though their terms differ.
For a concrete decision: if the €30 subscription delivers a modest seasonal bunch regularly, it can be good value for routine freshness; if you need specific blooms or a larger arrangement each time, a one-off bouquet gives you more control.
Can I send flowers and wine as a combined gift?
Yes. MadFlowers treats wine and bubbles as an add-on to its flower range, so you can build a combined gift rather than ordering two separate deliveries. The site's own framing is “What is better than flowers? A little something extra with them,” followed by a wine and bubbles section.
H3 Practical ways to combine them
- Pick the flowers first, then add the bottle. Choose a bouquet or arrangement, then look for the wine and bubbles option to pair with it. This keeps the flowers as the centrepiece and the wine as the extra.
- Match the tone of the occasion. Red roses plus a red wine or champagne-style bottle suits a romantic occasion; a mixed or pastel bouquet plus Prosecco works better for birthdays, thank-yous or celebrations.
- Consider the recipient's taste. If you don't know whether they drink, a plant, chocolate or a non-alcoholic extra is the safer combined gift. The site also lists chocolate and plants alongside flowers, so you aren't limited to wine.
H3 What to check before ordering
- Delivery address and timing. A combined gift only works if both items arrive together or on the same day, so confirm the delivery option for the recipient's area.
- Age and signature rules. Alcohol deliveries usually require an adult to receive them, which can matter if you're sending to a workplace or to someone who won't be home.
- Substitution policy. Florists often swap stems or bottles when something is unavailable; if the specific wine matters, ask before ordering.
H3 A concrete scenario
You live abroad and want to mark a friend's birthday in Dublin. Ordering a bouquet plus a bottle in one transaction is simpler than coordinating two deliveries, and it arrives as one gift. One customer review on the site, from Christie Duke, describes ordering from the United States for a friend in Dublin and having the flowers delivered on time — useful evidence that cross-border ordering to Ireland is workable, though it speaks to flowers rather than wine specifically. My own advice: place the order a few days ahead and confirm the alcohol delivery requirements for the address.
If you want to start, browse the flower bouquets first, then add wine or bubbles to the same order.
What types of bouquets are available for specific occasions like birthdays?
MadFlowers lists a dedicated Birthday Flowers category, and its general bouquet range is broad enough to match different birthday messages. From the page evidence, the occasion-specific birthday option sits alongside collections such as Flower Bouquets, Roses, Plants, Chocolate, and Wine & Bubbles.
Birthday-relevant bouquet styles visible on the page
- Roses: red, white, pink and yellow rose bouquets, including larger hundred-rose options.
- Mixed and seasonal arrangements: for example, Bouquet of the Month and a New Moon Flower Bouquet.
- Fragrant or calming roses: Sweetness Roses Bouquet and Sea Spray Bouquet.
- Colour-led designs: Mini Me Gerbera, Mini Me Orange, Mini Me Rose, and a Lipstick Flower Bouquet.
- Table-top and luxury arrangements: Lavender & White Table Topper, Exquisite Peach Table Topper, and Pink & Blue Floral Arrangement.
- Charity-linked option: Temple Street Charity Bouquet.
For a birthday, the practical choice usually comes down to the recipient's taste and the setting. A mixed or seasonal bouquet is a safe, celebratory choice for a home or office. Roses suit a milestone or romantic birthday. A table topper works well when the flowers are for a shared birthday meal rather than a hand-delivered gift. If the recipient is in Ireland, a local florist delivery is often more reliable for timing than an international order.
A useful next step is to open the Birthday Flowers section first, then compare the specific bouquet pages for stem count, colour and delivery area. If you want to add something beyond flowers, the site also groups wine and chocolate as gift add-ons, which can turn a single bouquet into a fuller birthday present.
How can I track my flower delivery order?
MadFlowers doesn't publish a self-service order-tracking page in the information available here, so the practical route is to use the contact details in your order confirmation email or on the site's contact page. Have your order number and delivery date ready, since that's what a florist needs to check a specific order.
If you ordered for someone else, tracking usually answers two separate questions: whether the arrangement left the shop, and whether it was handed over at the address. For a birthday or sympathy delivery, the second one matters more — ask about the delivery window rather than just "where is it."
For context, the site's own customer feedback includes a US-based buyer, Christie Duke, who ordered for a friend in Dublin and reported the flowers arrived on time and looked beautiful. That's her experience, not a tracking feature — but it does suggest cross-border orders to Ireland are workable when you confirm the delivery date in advance.
If you're choosing between florists for a time-sensitive order, compare how each handles delivery updates:
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Confirmation email contents | Tells you whether tracking is included or you must phone |
| Delivery-day notification | Useful when the recipient needs to be home |
| Named delivery window | Better than a vague "same day" for events |
| Who to contact on the day | Avoids being passed between shop and courier |
Next step: search your inbox for the MadFlowers confirmation, note the order number, and contact the shop directly with the recipient's address and requested delivery date. If you haven't ordered yet and tracking is essential, ask before checkout whether you'll receive a delivery confirmation — and compare with a florist that states this clearly, such as Interflora Ireland or Bloom & Wild Ireland if they deliver to your area.
