How do I order flowers

Ordering flowers can seem overwhelming, but don’t worry because we are here to help by answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’. Whether you’re celebrating a happy occasion or a sad one, we’re here to guide you through the process of ordering flowers for your loved ones. Or maybe you would like to elevate your workplace and need a customised arrangement. Or perhaps you want to spoil yourself and beautify your own home decor. Whatever your reason to buy our dried beauties, we’ll help you answer the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’

How To Choose A Good Florist

Before we answer the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ you’ll need to select a florist. Which florist you choose depends on what type of flowers you’re after, such as fresh, dried or artificial. While we specialise in dried flowers, we also have a range of artificial flower arrangements as well. Some florists also cater to specific niches, such as weddings, funerals, corporate or flower delivery for different occasions. With us, you can choose to get flowers delivered to a loved one for many different occasions, such as those listed below.

We also cater to corporate clients who may need to customise their flowers to their brand colours. We can also provide flowers to match your own home decor. If you require a customised colour combo, the best way to order is to call us, so we can discuss your requirements with you. While we don’t do weddings or funerals, we can recommend other florists that do specialise in these areas.

Another good way to select a florist is by looking up their reviews and seeing what other clients are saying about their experience. You can also look at photos of their work on their website. And don’t forget to check that they deliver to the area that you need. We have a complete list of suburbs that we deliver to on our ‘Delivery Areas’ page, but if you’re un-sure or if the delivery area is not listed, simply give us a call and we’ll assist you with any queries you have. Now let’s start answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’

How Do I Order Flowers That Are Right?

The first part of answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ has to do with ordering the right flowers for the occasion. Personally, we don’t believe there is any “right” or “wrong” choice when it comes to choosing flowers. There are several ways to make a decision. The first and foremost would be to think about the recipient’s taste and colour preferences. You could also think about what colours they already have in their home.

Of course, you could also go the traditional route and choose colours based on the occasion. To make things easy we have complied a list of our most popular and recommended designs for different occasions below, which will help to answer the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’

Anniversary: ‘Pretty in Pink’ and ‘Firecracker’

Celebration: ‘Poppin Purple’ and ‘Summer Sunset’

Get Well: ‘Peaceful Pastels’ and ‘Modern Mushie’

New Baby: ‘Blue Moon’ for boys and ‘Light and Shade’ for girls

Sympathy: ‘Statement Stunner’ and ‘Calming Coastal’

These are just some suggestions, as there are no hard and fast rules. But hopefully you might find them helpful in answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’

How To Make Your Selection

The second part of answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ has to do with making the right selection. You can make your choice by going to our ‘Order Flowers’ page on our website and browsing our online catalogue. The prices shown are the price of the smallest size that particular design comes in. To view all the size and price options, just click on the product to see the different sizes and prices for each one. All of our arrangements and bouquets are available in 3x different sizes, most of which come in small, medium and large. We also have our arrangements that come in gold pots that are available in medium, large and extra large sizes.

So how do I choose flowers in the right size and price point? The size and price of the design you choose can come down to several different factors. Firstly, how close you are to the person. Often, if the recipient is a close family member or friend, a larger size arrangement is given. For other friends, a medium size is a good choice. Where as for a casual acquaintance or as a thank you to a business, a smaller size is more appropriate.

Secondly, the emotion you want to convey. This depends largely on the occasion and how close you are to the person. If several people are giving the flowers, a larger size is often chosen. At the end of the day there is no “right” or “wrong” choice with this either.

How To Place An Order

The third and final part of answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ has to do with placing the actual order. Simply select the design and size you want and add it to your cart, then you also have the option of adding extras, such a large or small box of chocolates or a fragranced candle. Next, you just add in your details, the recipient’s details, the delivery date, card message and any special instructions (if there are any) and you’re almost done. And finally, all you have to do is pay with either with a Visa or Mastercard and that’s it. Once you’ve completed this process, you’ll receive an email confirming your order.

How Delivery Works

Of course, it’s not just a matter of answering the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ You’ll also want to know how the delivery works too. After you have placed your order, the flowers will be delivered on the selected date in the afternoon between 12:00pm and 4:00pm. Our normal delivery days are Monday and Wednesday to Saturday and we can deliver to any home or business (including schools, hospitals and nursing homes) in our delivery areas.

If you require a morning delivery or before or after a specific time, it is better to order the day before and make a note in the ‘Special Instructions’ box of your online order and we will do our best to accommodate you, although we cannot make any guarantees with delivery times.

Providing the recipient’s phone number is also very helpful for us to ensure they will be home if the weather is bad, as dried flowers can get damaged if left outside in extreme heat, rain and wind. Otherwise, if the weather is good and the recipient is not at home, we will leave them in a safe place by the front door. Once we have delivered the flowers, you will receive a text message advising you that the delivery has been made.

In Summary

In conclusion, the answer to the question, ‘How do I order flowers?’ isn’t as difficult as it might seem at first. It can be summed up in three easy steps.

Select you design from our online catalogue or call us to order a customised arrangement.
