Q: Where can I get information
about flowers? Who can I ask?
A: Flowers have become an important part of life
experiences and social settings and so you probably
know more about flowers than you think. However, if
you want to fine tune your knowledge of flowers, it
is best to seek a professional florist. They are the
real expert when it comes to suggesting styles and
varieties that are best for you and the occasion.
Q: Will a florist take my
order over the phone if I have never ordered there
before?
A: A full service florist would be more than
happy to take your order over the phone even if it
is your first time calling. All that is required is
a major credit card.
Q: What should I order?
A: The best way make a remarkable floral
statement is to tell the florist a bit about the
recipients personality. There are a lot of character
types that will help give the florist a direction
for arranging the perfect flowers. Some traits
include, dramatic, romantic, artistic, traditional
or outdoorsy. Do they have a hobby, favorite color,
or favorite flower. If the flowers are going to
someone’s home, you can also describe the
atmosphere. For example, is it traditional,
contemporary, country or Victorian? All of these
preferences can go a long way in creating a very
personalized present.
Q: What information should I
have ready before I call the florist?
A: Be sure to know the recipients full name,
address, and phone number. It is also helpful to
have the company name, work number, and work hours
if you are delivering to their work address. The
ordering will also be much quicker if you have your
payment information ready and your enclosure card
message written out.
