For many people, finding a good Florist can be challenging. Some suggestions come from word of mouth, while others look online. Looking online can be deceiving unless you know what to look for. Start off doing a Google search for "Florists in (name of city)". When your list of Florists come up, you can choose based on distance from the address you're sending to, Florist reviews, pricing, etc. By choosing to shop local, you're saving unnecessary fees, that other national floral companies would charge. Companies like FTD, Teleflora, 800flowers ,and more, all charge service fees as well as take a huge percent as payment, before sending your order to a local Florist. Look for local telephone numbers and a physical address before ordering. If there is any other fee besides the cost of the flowers and a delivery fee, you're calling a national company and you should hang up.
Talking to a real local Florist, that is actually going to make your floral arrangement is very convenient. They can make suggestions and tell you what they have that's fresh or what types of flowers are expected in.This ensures your recipient receives the best and freshest flowers available. There is no reason to invite a 3rd person into the transaction of sending flowers.
