Why You Should Always Visit Your Local Florist

A lot of consumers who shop online have no idea they are, more than likely, ordering flowers from a call center, an order gatherer, a middle man.

These call centers usually have an offer that is very tempting and hard to resist. They will offer you a nice arrangement (which is photoshoped by the way, but that's another story for another day) for a lower than market price.

Once you have selected  an arrangement, mysterious fees start coming into play.  Call centers will charge the customer a handling fee, sometimes called a processing fee which can be upwards of $19.99 or more. On top of an already high delivery fee, they list a rush-delivery fee.

By the time you finalize your purchase, you will be surprised how much more money you spent on flowers than you originally had planned to. Click Here to view a comparison of a local florist vs internet companies.

Ask a buddy, what flower shop would they recommend? Ask a co-worker; ask a relative. You can even check YELP where local consumers leave reviews, tips and pictures of local businesses including flower shops.

Make sure to always go over all florists Websites. Review their work on Facebook or Instagram. Call the flower shop and ask if they have a physical location where you can come in and pick up merchandise.

One of the easiest ways to avoid overpaying for flowers online is to always purchase directly from your local florist. You will save money and always get more flowers for your buck every time you shop local.

I highly recommend Real Local Florists  to purchase flowers online. The Florist Detectives if you want to learn more about the differences between local flower shops and internet companies.

According to Wikipedia, Secretaries Day or Administrative Professional Day is observed in several countries to recognize the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals.

Secretaries Day 2015 is this coming Wednesday, the 22nd of April. Besides fresh flowers in our display cooler, we also have dish garden plants, lucky bamboos and orchid plants that you can take to the office as appreciation of your secretary.

Stop by our shop in the next couple of days and grab a gift or a bouquet of flowers for the office. Follow us on Instagram, We'll be posting there more gift ideas for this upcoming Secretary's Day 2015. See what else is available on our Online Store.

Corsages & Boutonnieres For Prom

Corsages & Boutonnieres For Prom

Prom season is here. It's that time of the year to shop for the shoes to go with the perfect dress, make up and hairstyle, jewelry if any and  last but equally as important, your corsage & boutonniere for your date.

Corsages & boutonnieres come in a wide variety of flowers, colors and add-ons.  The most commonly used are orchids and roses. View more Corsages and Boutonnieres  on our website.

When shopping for your corsage, bring a swatch of fabric in the same color as your dress whenever possible. This will aid us in finding a ribbon to go with your dress and flower. Also recommended is that you bring your date with you, this way each of you can select your corsage & boutonniere

Corsages & boutonnieres can be worn in different ways. They can be worn on your wrist, chest and sometimes on your ankle too. This usually depends on your dress -- whether it has straps or not. If no straps then almost by default you must wear your corsage on your wrist, otherwise you can wear it on your chest.

Contrary to popular belief, picking out a corsage is not a difficult task when planned ahead of time.  We recommend you stop by our shop and make your selection a minimum of 2 weeks before prom night. Remember that the more time you give yourself, the better your chances are of finding the perfect flower, color, ribbon and add-ons that will make up your corsage.

Why I Like Tinted And Painted Flowers

Tinted & Spray Painted Flowers: Now Available At Our Store

Can you spot the tinted flowers?

Did you know you can paint your flowers any color you want?

Two of the most commonly used floral sprays are "Just For Flowers" & "Color Tool" both by Design Master, "Color Tool" is the one I prefer.

Tinted or sprayed flowers are not for everyone; Some customers like it more than others.  Personally, I think flowers paint is great and very useful. There are times when paint, if used correctly, will help florists and customers get that perfect color to match their desired taste.  For instance, we had a customer getting married last weekend and he told us that blue roses were "a must have" for his wedding. I explained to him that it was not possible to get natural blue roses. When I suggested to have them spray painted, he asked for a sample...needless to say that he was more than satisfied with the outcome and placed his order with us right away.

Spray Painted Blue Rose

For us at the shop Prom season (which is coming soon by the way) seems to be the time when we use spray paint the most. High school kids looking to match their dresses are the ones who usually ask us to spray paint flowers for accents on their corsages or boutonnieres for guys.
 

We also use spray paint whenever special jobs are requested. We have done logos before and flags as well. For these big jobs we preffer to use carnations because they absorb the paint with ease and also gives us a more "natural" look and result. 

Cuban Flag

There are other flowers that can be sprayed painted such as hydrangeas, fuji mums, roses and daysies also.

Twins Boy & Girl Arrangement

If you are one of those people who like spray painted flowers, make sure you ask your local florist if they offer this service. I'm sure ALL florists will work with you by either having your flowers painted or by finding substitutions for the color you wish to have. In the end we florists are here to please you, our loyal customers.
