Word of mouth is often the best resource when looking for a florist. An outstanding florist will have a good reputation in your community. If you use a telephone book or directory assistance 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. For those looking for a florist, here are some recommendations:
- Good florists ask questions about what you're looking for, offer expert advice and suggest floral gifts to match any sentiment, occasion, personality or home decor.
- Look for artistry in the florist’s arrangements, design and presentation.
- Choose a florist who will get to know you, keep track of your floral preferences and send reminders of upcoming special occasions.
- Look for convenient hours, easy-access location and a satisfaction guarantee.
- From the familiar rose to exotic tropicals, a great shop carries a complete menu of flowers and plants to choose from.
- Florists who belong to professional groups are committed to being the best in their field. Look for affiliation with national wire services (FTD, Teleflora), national trade associations like the Society of American Florists, state and local trade associations, and local community and civic organizations.
