The Bloomingbox Alternative in Dubai
Black & Blanc is a floral house in Dubai. Nothing is held in stock — arrangements are composed after they are ordered, from stems selected that morning. From AED 399, delivered in two hours across central Dubai. An independent house, unaffiliated with Bloomingbox.
Choosing a Florist — Questions
Nothing here is built before it is bought. Stems are selected in the morning and the arrangement is composed that same day, by hand, in our Dubai atelier — no cold room, no standing inventory. If you are weighing one florist against another, that is the difference worth knowing.
The Under AED 500 selection above. Arrangements open at AED 399, and everything below AED 500 is composed from the same stems, on the same morning, as the rest of the house.
No. Black & Blanc is an independent house, unaffiliated with Bloomingbox or any other florist in the region.
Two hours within central Dubai. Across the wider city, same day on orders placed by 8:30pm on weekdays and 7:30pm at weekends, seven days a week, complimentary within Dubai. A midnight service runs between 11pm and 1am, from AED 99, booked by 5pm.
Dubai city-wide, and beyond it Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. Windows differ outside Dubai and a charge applies by emirate — select yours at checkout for the dates available.
A boxed arrangement arrives finished and needs nothing from the recipient — it holds its shape and its water in the house box. A hand-tied bouquet arrives as the florist gathered it and wants a vase. Boxes travel better; bouquets feel more personal. Both are composed the same morning.
Yes. Select your window at checkout. Where the moment matters more than the day — a hotel arrival, a table before guests sit, a surprise that must not land early — tell the concierge and we will hold it there.
Yes, at no charge. Write your message at checkout and it is written by hand before dispatch.
The Bloomingbox Alternative in Dubai
Choosing an Alternative
Anyone shopping for flowers in Dubai will meet the same handful of names, Bloomingbox among them, and will find that the photographs look broadly alike. Black & Blanc is an independent floral house with no connection to them, and the honest place to look for a difference is not the flower list — every serious florist in this city sells roses. It is in when the arrangement is made, and what happens between the order and the door.
Made After You Buy It
Our arrangements do not exist until they are ordered. Stems are chosen each morning and worked the same day; whatever is not good enough that morning is not sold that day. It is why the collection changes through the year rather than holding a fixed catalogue, and why a bouquet from this house is still standing on the fifth day. Photographs cannot show that, which is the reason for spelling it out.
If You Are Working to a Figure
Arrangements start at AED 399. If you are working to a number rather than a look, the Under AED 500 selection is the shortest route — hand-tied bouquets, boxed compositions and seasonal mixes, drawn from exactly the same morning selection as everything else. Below it sit the flower boxes: roses, orchids, lilies and mixed compositions arranged into the house box, which arrives finished and asks nothing of the recipient.
Delivery Across Dubai
Two-hour delivery covers central Dubai. Beyond that, same-day service reaches Downtown, Marina, JBR, Jumeirah, Business Bay, DIFC, Palm Jumeirah, Al Barsha, Deira, Bur Dubai, Dubai Hills and Arabian Ranches on orders placed by 8:30pm on weekdays and 7:30pm at weekends, complimentary within the city. We also deliver to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain, where windows differ and a charge applies by emirate.
Anything Not Listed
The site carries the working collection, not the boundary of it. Arrangements can be composed to brief — a colour held to a room, an unusual scale, a vessel chosen for where it will stand. Weddings, corporate gifting and event styling are arranged directly with the atelier rather than through checkout, and the WhatsApp concierge is the quickest way to reach it.
