Flower delivery service has been around for many years. It provides a popular level of convenience for lovers sending coded messages that could convey everything from “I Love You” to “Meet me tonight.” The colors and choice of flowers discretely told a woman that she was liked, loved or appreciated without the man speaking the words. Today, cut flowers, or live plants make a welcome gift for many different occasions. You might send flowers for a new baby, birthday or even new business.
When looking for a service to deliver flowers, you want to make certain that the service is associated with a florist who has a wide variety of flowers to choose from. If the recipient is allergic to lilacs, but that is the major choice of the florist, you won’t be satisfied with the reaction of the person receiving the delivery. Different types of flowers are more appropriate visually and in their connotation than others for certain occasions.
You should choose individual flowers according to the occasion and tastes of the recipient, but the way the flowers are combined into an arrangement is also important. The florist will take note of colors of individual flowers, but the size of various blooms will also affect the appearance of a finished arrangement. Combining flowers with compatible scents is also important.
Look for a delivery service that will get the flowers where they are needed at the appropriate time. A corsage delivered to a young lady headed for prom night is useless and disappointing if it arrives an hour after she and her date leave for their big night. Flowers delivered too early for table decorations for a formal dinner may not be as effective, simply because the arrangements have lost the freshness that makes them truly enjoyable.
Appearance of the flowers upon delivery will depend on the way the florist packages them for transit. You want them to look attractive. Freshness for arrangements may depend on a short transit time, or upon water in the vase. Cut flowers wrapped in plastic wrap will usually look fresh for some time after delivery as long as the cool temperature is maintained.
Once the order goes to the delivery person, a different kind of care is required. In a vehicle, the blooms must be protected from too much jostling or bouncing. They can’t rub against each other or against parts of the delivery van. The van must maintain an internal temperature to keep the flowers from wilting in the heat or from getting too cold.
A good delivery service will be able to answer at least some of the questions that might arise about the care of the delivered flowers. Even though an inexperienced delivery person may be trying to help, wrong advice can ruin the flower arrangement very quickly. The best solution is for the florist to include specific written instructions for care and handling of the flowers, if appropriate.
Although distance flower delivery has been available for many years, with the popularity and access to the internet, almost anyone can choose to send flowers to a friend or loved one. You can go online to view the images of available flowers or flower arrangements and place the order. Payment is through a secure site with a credit or debit card, thus adding to the convenience of getting flowers from your heart to that of the recipient.
