Step 14. Find a florist

If there is a local shop that you serve you can call them or go in person. If you are sending the flowers far away, you can ask the local florist to send a telegram or call a toll-free number to place the order. Most florist chains have a toll-free number for this reason: you can spend more on dialing while saving on the telegram.

Step 15. When you send flowers remotely, the store receiving the order takes a percentage of the total cost of the order they receive

For example: if you send flowers for 50 euros, the recipient will probably only have 40 worth of flowers.

Talk to him about the occasion, who receives them and what kind of flowers you had in mind, then decide on the cost and ask if taxes are included and if there are any other costs.

Step 17. Try to make a deal

The florist will tell you what kind of arrangement he will create, with which flowers and how much the delivery costs. If there is something particular you want to include, it's time to say it. Describe what you had in mind using words like "cheeky, colorful, monotonous, delicate, tropical". If that sounds important to you, ask for a color scheme. If you are sending the composition to a specific person, describe it to him physically and emotionally. Is he a classic, crazy guy, both? What colors do you like to wear?

Advice

  • If there is an image of the flowers on the site or if you have seen a composition of your taste in the shop, mention it. If you've seen it in a magazine or elsewhere, explain it and ask if it's possible to recreate it.
  • Florists are creative and have great imaginations. Find one that suits your tastes or those of those who are to receive the flowers, so you can be sure of the success of your surprise. A florist who specializes in flower pom-poms may not have many tropical plants such as orchids and strelitzia.
  • Be flexible. There are different flowers in every season, so ask what's available. Sometimes they have flowers specially made for compositions. Seasonal flowers usually cost less.
  • Florists generally have ideas that fit the situation. Flowers for a funeral are different from those to send to a girl.
  • Consider a potted plant. They usually last longer and the cost is better amortized.
