My annual public service post:
Finding a local flower shop is not hard to do. Simply perform a search for "florist" or "flowers" (you get the gist) and the town or zip you are interested in. If you google flower shop in Bossier City, for example, the first three listings you will likely see are Ava's Flowers, Rita's Florist and Fromyouflowers.com, with the little "Ad" sign. These are order gatherers, who take 20-40% off the the top of the total amount of your order for themselves. They then attempt to place your order with a real local florist, offering that florist a fraction of the amount you tendered to them. The florist has only the amount they are given, together with an order which reads "or as similar as possible. Please fill to value". By the time your order gets to the florist, the amount is too little to make and deliver the arrangement you envisioned. Dissatisfaction and frustration ensues. But the order gatherers have their cut, without having to touch the first flower stem. PLEASE, to ensure you are getting a quality bouquet of flowers, and to shut down these companies who are cheating everyone involved, look carefully before you order. Make sure you are using a local florist with a local phone number and physical address.
Put your flower business in the hands of a professional. Why wonder if you could have done better?
