Flower Ordering Tips:

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.

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.

Out of Area Delivery: If you know of a high quality local flower shop we recommend ordering directly with them. Otherwise, we recommend ordering through a floral placement service. Most local full service flower shops belong to a wire service and can place your out of area order for you. There are also several online services available on the Internet. Be careful not to order from a mail order service by mistake. Generally, you want your floral gift hand delivered.
