Valentine Flowers

People expect a lot from a florist. Orders need to look good, be cost effective and delivered on time.

You can get great results with any florist by following a few tips when placing your orders for Valentines Day or any other holiday.

Order Early

Ordering at the last minute means that you will get whatever flowers the florist has left in stock, they won't be able to give you the freshest flowers in your arrangement.

State Exactly What You Want

Greenery and Baby's Breath are not always included in an arrangement. Ask the florist what fillers they offer in an arrangement. Don't assume you get roses plus filler material!

Vases come in many shapes and colors. The majority of arrangements will be sent in clear vases. If you want a red or blue vase, you'll want to let the florist know.

There are many flowers you can send besides roses!
See this page on flower meanings to get some ideas for other types of flowers to send.

Be Prepared: Have the correct information handy

Your information
Credit card number and expiration date
Billing address
Phone numbers (business, home and cell phone numbers)

How Ordering Works

They take your information for the order and after you hang up they start the processing.

Your florist will check a nationwide list to find a florist that is in or close to the town your recipient lives in.

Once they locate the closest florist they check to see if your order meets the minimum required order amount. If it doesn't, you'll have to increase your order to meet that requirement.

They check to see if that florist has openings for deliveries. Small cities with only a florist or two can get bogged down quickly during the holidays, and shut down deliveries entirely. This leaves you with no way to send flowers in that town.

The order is assembled by the florist who is doing the delivery. Floral arrangements typically are not sent across state lines, so if you use a local florist to send orders out of state, your local florist is not making that arrangement. The florist making the arrangement might not have the same flowers in stock that your local florist does.

Orders received for holiday deliveries are typically made the day before they are to be delivered and stored in a cooler.

The florist divides their delivery area into sections such as section A, section B etc... All arrangements for section A are then sorted into morning or afternoon delivery. Any arrangements going to section A for morning delivery are loaded onto a truck/van and the driver heads out.
