Flower Ordering Tips:

Phone Ordering: Have the recipient's full name, address, phone number and payment information ready. It is a good idea to have a brief card message pre-written ahead of time. Ask the florist to recommend an arrangement based on your occasion and budget. Keep the design request as general as possible and let their artistic instinct take over.

Birthday: There is no better way to say happy birthday than with roses in any color. Another great option is an assorted arrangement in a vase or basket combining flowers such as lilies, iris and tulips.

Funerals: Funerals are an emotional time. It has been a long tradition to send flowers at the time of bereavement. White flowers are the most common, typically roses or lilies. Pink or yellow roses are also fairly common. Consult your local florists for more ideas.

Local Area Delivery: We highly recommend ordering directly from your local flower shop. We do not recommend ordering flowers intended for local delivery through a floral placement service.

Anniversaries: One of the most popular occasions to celebrate with flowers. A dozen red roses in a vase is the classic anniversary gift. Roses of mixed colors or multi colored mixed bouquets also do the trick.
