|  | How do I go about finding a florist in my area? |  | Word of mouth is often the best resource when looking for a florists. Keep an eye on the flowers at weddings, parties or arrangements delivered to friends or co-workers. If you like the style, inquire as to which florist did them. If you use a telephone book to find a florist, look for one with a local address. If you choose a national service with a toll-free number, pick an established organization with a strong reputation for providing great service.
| | What qualities should I look for when choosing a florist? | | Every floral shop has its own personality. Look for the qualities that best fit your needs, such as: creative flair, outstanding service, personal attention, helpful suggestions, selection and variety, top quality product and good value.
| | Will a florist take my order over the phone if I have never ordered there before? | | Yes, full service florists will take phone orders if you have a major credit card. Some florists will establish an in-house account after you have made an initial order.
| | Will a florist send me a bill? | | Many florists offer direct billing options for their regular customers. Ask your florist about this service and what their requirements are for establishing an in-house account. If they do not provide a direct billing service, they will take major credit cards.

| How do I know what to order? | | What to order can be a real challenge for many because the selection has become so vast. Flower shops are a treasure trove of arrangement styles, new flower and plant varieties and gift items. If you want to make the most of your floral gift selection, following are a few tips to help your florist create a truly personalized gift:
- Tell your florist a little about the recipient's personality. For example is he/she a dramatic type of person? Or perhaps romantic, artistic, traditional or outdoorsy? What are some of their hobbies or interests? Do they have a favorite color or flower? Sometimes the simple selection of a flower in a favorite color can really personalize an arrangement.
- If you are ordering flowers for someone's home, what is it like? Is it traditional? Or perhaps casual, Victorian, country or contemporary?
Florists are experts at the art of expression and they can help you look great by creating a highly personalized gift for any occasion... or "just because."
| | What kinds of information do I need before I call the florist? | | If you are having the flowers delivered, have the recipient's full name, address and telephone number ready. Any special information such as a work number or times they will be at home are also helpful. Determine your budget before the call and have your payment information ready. Be sure to write out what message you would like to include on the enclosure card. (Or the florist can offer suggestions.)
| | Can a florist make a special design for me? | | Yes, this is their specialty. Communicate what you have in mind or ask for creative suggestions. Nothing can be more personal than the gift of flowers.
| | I never know what to write on the enclosure card... any ideas? | | Flowers have a language all their own but most people prefer to include a brief message. Some suggestions might be to look at poetry or a book of quotes for an idea. Ask the florist what might be appropriate. They have seen thousands of cards and probably have a few ideas to suit your particular occasion. Check out the section for more ideas.
| | If I want to send flowers to another town, what is the best way? How can I find a florist there? | | Most florist shops are members of national wire services or know florists in other towns. Your flower order can be taken by your local florist who will contact a florist for you in another town and place your order.
|
| If I send flowers to another town, how do I know what I will get? | | Most flower shops have books containing traditional designs to select from. If you have something specific in mind, be sure to communicate with your florist and allow ample time to order any special types of flowers or plants. Another tip is to take a photo of a flower arrangement you like to your florist so they can make reference to it while ordering.
| | Do certain flowers mean certain things? What if I send the "wrong thing"? | | Today, there are no rules. You can't really send the "wrong thing" with a little thought and help from your florist. It's important to take the occasion into consideration, the age and gender of the recipient, and floral preferences if you are aware of any. Sharing some details about the personality of the receiver will help the florist to customize your arrangement and ensure the recipient's delight.
| | What do the colors of roses mean? Is red always for passion? | | In Victorian times flowers had assigned meanings but even then there was much discrepancy. Men would commission their florist to create a bouquet and therefore a "special message" which he would send to his beloved. It was up to his lady friend to decipher or "de-code" the meaning. Today there are so many flowers and colors that this tradition no longer applies. It is true that red roses are traditionally associated with romantic love but this is not the rule. Flowers today have a much broader vocabulary and a favorite color or flower can express just the right sentiment.
| | Is it cheaper to order flowers in season? How do I know what is in season? | | Simply ask your florist what is in season and the best value at the moment. Flowers are coming into flower shops from every corner of the world and something is in season somewhere almost all the time! Seasonal varieties can be less expensive when in great abundance. For example: roses are a super value in summer because it is their peak growing season.
| | If my girlfriend loves a certain flower and I want to get it for her birthday, can I special order it? |
| Certainly. Be sure you know the name of the flower along with the color if that is important and call your florist one to two weeks in advance if possible. In some cases they may have to special order the flowers. The sooner your florist can order it, the better your chances are of having it in time for the special day.
| | Where do flowers come from? | | | The abundant varieties you see in flower shops today come from domestic markets in the United States and growers all over the world... Europe, Australia, Africa, South America and more. There are more flowers available now than ever before and modern shipping technology allows product to be fresh from the field to the marketplace in a matter of hours. |
