It's finally peony season — these are the best online florists to buy them from
In case you missed the big news — it's finally peony season. Lusciously full and layered, these show-stopping ruffled blooms are typically associated with love and romance, and come in charming shades of blush, coral, fuschia, and white.
Often found in old English gardens, peony plants ooze cottagecore charm — and once established, they're hardy enough to thrive for decades, which only adds to their vintage and elegant feel.
But if you want to enjoy as many bouquets of peonies as possible this year, you'll need to act quickly — as the UK season typically comes to an end around the start of July. So, that makes June a pretty precious month for lovers of those pretty powderpuff petals.
If you'd like to get your hands on a beautiful bunch of these magical blooms, head to your local florist, farmer's market, or supermarket. Or – if you'd prefer to have them delivered straight to your door — these are the online delivery services to turn to for a dreamy selection of perfect peonies by post.
Famous for their flower subscription services, Freddie's Flowers offer three different bouquet sizes, and keep sustainability at their core.

For beautiful letterbox blooms that don't break the bank, Bloom & Wild is one of our favourite delivery services. This year, there are twenty different peony arrangements to choose from — ranging from letterbox bunches and small posies, to style-at-home flowers and hand-tied bouquets. The Theo fits nicely through the letterbox, and boasts coral coloured peonies, pastel pink spray carnations, lilac stocks, and vibrant yellow solidago. BUY BLOOM & WILD PEONIES FROM £22
Not only are most Prestige Flowers bouquets available in three different sizes, they can also be sent with lovely extras like personalised message cards and free recorded messages — which is ideal if you're sending your bouquet as a gift. Simple yet effective, Peony Blush is the perfect arrangement for anyone looking for just a basic bunch of bright pink British-grown blooms. BUY PRESTIGE FLOWERS PEONIES FROM £26.99

Lucy Williams's 'homely' west London terrace
Though the aesthetic of the Victorian terraced house near Shepherd's Bush she shares with husband Ruaraidh and rescue dog Finn is very different to a traditional English farmhouse, it shares the same layered, welcoming, feet-up vibes, from the squashy, gingerbread-coloured Maker & Son sofa in the living room (chosen to disguise Finn's matching brown dog hair) to the deep kitchen window seat, made for curling up with a book and coffee — if you can persuade the dog to budge over.

'I never exercised - then I became a naked rambler'
Estelle Keeber never used to exercise. 'I was the type of person who'd drive to the shop around the corner,' she admits. But then, five years ago, everything changed. Not just for Estelle, but for hundreds of thousands of people across the UK who discovered the joy – and literal escape – of walking as the world became engulfed by the deadly covid-19 pandemic. In the months after lockdown started, government figures from the fateful revealed that 39% of people said they were walking more than before the pandemic struck. And while banana bread and Houseparty may have had their moment, the nation's walking obsession is still going strong, with the hashtag #walking used on over 30.5 million posts on Instagram and more than 830 million Google search results for local walking groups. For Estelle, it offered her a sense of freedom – in many ways. 'When we went into lockdown and the opportunity to get out in nature was limited, I suddenly started to crave it,' she tells Metro. 'I started doing Couch to 5k but got injured and the impact of running wasn't an option – so I started walking.' However, Estelle soon discovered that soaking up nature on a basic level wasn't enough. As she progressed from local walks to long hikes on her own, she used it as an opportunity to embrace the naturist lifestyle. 'I had never even considered it before, but I've always been comfortable in my own skin,' explains Estelle, who runs social media company Immortal Monkey. 'When I was walking I felt hugely connected with nature and it occurred to me that the connection could feel more complete if I was able to feel nature against my skin more. 'We're so used to feeling the breeze on our faces or hands but there's a deeper connection when it's on all of your skin.' To learn more about the naturist community, Estelle booked herself into a nudist spa – and has never looked back. 'I'm now working with British Naturism and am organising a naked ramble with them,' she adds. 'I'm a naturist and there's a difference between that and nudism. 'Nudists like being naked and naturists enjoy the connection with nature without being clothed. There's a park in Nottingham which is a naturist park where people can walk unclothed. 'The signs say clothing is optional so it's a great way for naturists to interact with clothed people. It's not illegal to be nude in this country but it is to cause distress if you're naked so there's a fine line which is why parks like the one in Nottingham are so important.' For Estelle, her discovery of walking has been truly life-changing. More Trending On National Work Naked Day in February this year, she launched The Naked Truth podcast, which explores body confidence and aims to spark honest conversations and help listeners embrace their natural selves. 'The podcast is about more than nudity, Estelle explains. 'It's about creating a movement of self-acceptance and showing people that confidence starts with embracing who you are. 'I would never have believed I'd become a naturist and a hiker when we went into lockdown but I get so much from both aspects of my life.' A version of this story was first published on 29 March 2025.

Wondering What The Lionesses Wore This Weekend? You Can Shop Their Exact Looks Now
@Getty Images/RICHARD POHLE M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Few things bring the nation together like our national football team winning a major trophy. It's a tale as old as time: a country collectively losing its voice, nerves and any sense of decorum over a football game. Of course, there are also hundreds of stereotypes that unite us, like our love of tea, fish and chips and the pure joy we feel when another bank holiday is announced. But nothing feels as exciting as seeing our Lionesses win the UEFA European Women's Championship, for the second time, might I add. After a 1-1 draw at full time, the match went to penalties, where Chloe Kelly, scored the winning goal. While the rest of us were dressed head-to-toe in football kits with flags in hand, the Lionesses returned home on Monday wearing pieces from their own collaboration with another British legend, Marks & Spencer. The limited-edition collection, made up of 13 pieces, launched ahead of the tournament on 26th June, and is the final drop from the three-year partnership between the English FA and M&S - though the brand's relationship with the sport stretches all the way back to 2007. And, much like the Lionesses' performance this summer, the M&S X England collection doesn't disappoint. ©Getty Images/Dan Kitwood The best part of the collection? You don't have to win a major trophy or even be on the field to wear it. In fact, the collection is packed full of tailored co-ords and structured separates, a world away from muddy socks and battered shinpads. Maddy Evans, Director of M&S Women, describes it as: 'championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it's a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation.' A couple of standouts from the collaboration include its Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers, and its Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer that's perfect for those office days where it's far too hot to wear a full-sleeved blazer. It will probably come as no surprise that the collection has been met with quite the reaction - much of it is already out of stock online and in stores. But, there are a couple of pieces still available, if (and that's a big if), you move fast. ©Instagram/@irma_bruzaite M&S, Straight Short Sleeve Single Breasted Blazer If you're on the hunt for a blazer you can wear in the warmer months, M&S has the answer. Cut in a flattering fit, the blazer has smart notched lapels, as well as handy welt pockets. Style with a pair of tailored trousers or boxy shorts. If you're currently wondering what to wear to celebrate the Lionesses' win, the answer may not lie in your vintage England shirt and bucket hat, but in a crisp pair of pleated Bermuda shorts and a waistcoat top. Shop the pieces that are still available, as well as excellent alternatives below. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Barrel Leg Trousers If you're as obsessed with barrel leg jeans as I am, you're going to want to take a look at M&S' Barrel Leg Trousers. Available in two different colours, an ecru and soft green, the trousers feature pleats down the front as well as pockets and belt loops. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Soft Green If the barrel leg shape isn't your style, and you prefer something a little more timeless, the trousers also come in a wide-leg. Finished with the same soft pleats at the front, pair with a boxy t-shirt and loafers. M&S, Tailored Pleat Front Wide Leg Trousers - Black The same wide-leg style is also available in a black, which will go with everything you already have in your wardrobe. Nobody's Child, Cream Double Breasted Cropped Waistcoat Nobody's Child has a great alternative if you want the Lioness look. Its Cropped Waistcoat features a V-neck crossover and double-breasted buttons to bring polish to any outfit, even if you're just wearing jeans. ASOS Design, Linen Look Asymmetric Button Front Waistcoat ASOS also has an asymmetric alternative, this time in a linen-look material that's sure to keep you cool this summer. Finish the outfit with a satin midi skirt and a pair of colourful ballet flats. Zara, ZW Collection Asymmetric Waistcoat Zara is truly in its tailoring era at the moment, as there are so many excellent work outfits on site right now. This asymmetric waistcoat is almost identical to the M&S one spotted on the Lionesses, complete with the same buttoned detailing and dark colour. Mint Velvet, Taupe Short Sleeve Longline Blazer If you, too, want to get in on the short-sleeved blazer hype, I've found another popular style from Mint Velvet. Its peaked lapels, flap pockets and statement button at the front all make it the perfect blazer to wear on office days. Reformation, Wren Blazer Reformation has also designed a short-sleeved blazer, and its style is created with an intentionally slim-fit, yet is also somewhat oversized (so take this as your sign to size down if you like your blazers more fitted). Zara, ZW Collection Straight-Leg Trousers Zara's Straight-Leg Trousers have a high waist that's perfect for pairing with the matching asymmetric waistcoat top and front pockets. Wear as a co-ord, or style the trousers with a boxy tee, leather jacket and Adidas trainers.
