What Makes The Crate Different
Beautifully Simple: How The Crate is Redefining Flower Delivery in Ireland
Traditional flower delivery options can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. For a long time, sending a floral gift meant scrolling through endless pages of identical, tightly packed arrangements wrapped in layers of single-use plastic. It felt like too many decisions and the panic of getting it wrong.
At The Crate, we decided it was time to do things differently. We are here to completely shake up how we send flowers across Ireland. By blending a love for natural design with a cool, contemporary aesthetic, we’ve built a modern flower delivery service that feels fresh, effortless, and entirely relevant to how we live today.
1. Trend-Driven & Pinterest-Approved
We don’t do stiff, round, artificial-looking bouquets. Our floral arrangements are heavily inspired by interior design trends, runway fashion, culture, and the wild architectural shapes found in nature. Think loose, airy structures, unexpected colour palettes, and a distinct wildflower aesthetic. It’s the kind of design-led, botanical styling you want to save to your Pinterest boards or feature on your Instagram feed. We treat flowers like an extension of home styling—cool, artistic, and full of texture.
2. One Curated 'Bunch of the Week'
We believe in clearing out the noise. Instead of overwhelming you with pages of options, we focus purely on high-quality curation. We design one signature floral style that changes every single week, following the natural rhythm of the seasons.
Because our offering evolves every seven days, your recipient will never get the exact same bouquet twice. It ensures you’re always sending the trendiest, most seasonal stems available, while completely eliminating flower waste behind the scenes.
3. The 'Forget Me Not': Affordable Luxury Under €35
Beautiful, high-end floristry shouldn't have to break the bank. Because our single-weekly-bunch model cuts out the guesswork and eliminates flower waste, we can funnel those premium savings directly back to you.
Enter The Forget Me Not. Priced at an accessible point of €30, it’s our signature, affordable flower gift option designed to make sending a little luxury effortless. Packed with fresh, premium seasonal stems, it is the perfect "just because" text-in-a-bouquet, birthday surprise, or bedside table refresh that looks expensive but feels incredibly fair.
4. 100% Eco-Conscious, French-Inspired Packaging
We care just as much about the unboxing experience as we do about the blooms themselves. Every Crate arrangement arrives tucked inside our signature branded, protective paper cones and is shipped securely inside a beautifully minimalist, French-inspired gift box. Everything—from the cardboard box down to our transit hydration bags—is 100% recyclable. No plastic fluff, just sustainable, premium presentation.

The Crate’s concept started with flowers, friendship and a love of design by founders Claire Ryan and Steph Hutch, in 2017.
Dismayed by an abundance of choice but a lack of flower variety and design, high delivery costs and unsustainable packaging materials, we set about modernising flower delivery in Ireland.
The Crate is an online modern flower delivery business that offers one style of thoughtfully designed seasonal flowers, that changes every week; with same-day delivery throughout Dublin and next-day delivery throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. You never get the same bunch twice, you never get it wrong; and you never miss the moment.
The Crate’s streamlined buying model simplifies decision making for you and reduces waste for us, offering an elevated product and more efficient delivery service than traditionally available in the flower delivery market in Ireland.
In the Victorian era, people referred to flower deliveries as “talking bouquets”. People carried floral dictionaries to decipher the message and these “talking bouquets” were then worn as a fashion accessory by the recipient to showcase to all how someone felt about them.
We don’t expect you to wear our flowers; however we do put a huge weight on why people send flowers and created The Crate to service the connection between people through a beautiful living product that will be proudly displayed for all to see.
Not Your Average Flower Delivery...
Our flowers deliver all of the small gestures of love and thoughtfulness between people, adding colour to the everyday, and giving us an intimate understanding of why we do what we do, and this is why The Crate is not your average flower delivery, and we aim to continue impacting the market, making flower delivery beautifully simple for all.
