Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day which are both only around the corner are a good time to send flowers to your partner and mam. They are two of the most special occasions on a florists calendar.
Flowers always bring a smile and warm hearts, never hesitate to send someone flowers. Whether it’s a simple bouquet, a lavish arrangement or flowers for a bereavement, flowers convey the message that you care about them.
As a florist, there are a few tips I wanted to share that will help you order flowers around any special occasion especially Valentine’s Day 14th February 2021 and Mother’s Day March 14th 2021.
Before You Order
Take a moment and get this vital information your florist needs to deliver your gift.
– First and last name of the recipient
– Address of the home or the name and address of the business. If the business requires security check let them know.
– Phone number for the recipient. It’s best to have the person’s direct number so, if needed, special arrangements can be made to ensure they get their gift.
– Eircode if possible as it will enable us deliver in a safe and contactless manner.
– A card message. Remember most enclosure cards are small so you don’t need to say too much. The flowers will say enough. Keep it simple and thoughtful.
– Have your credit card ready to go.
What to Order
Generally, we have our own design in a favourite style and with flowers they know will be high quality. Balla Florists will also have different price points you can choose from which is nice when you’re working with a budget. We add our shop’s special touch to ensure that it stands out from other brands.
Be sure to check out our website www.ballaflorists.com to find a special display that you love and works with a budget you’re comfortable with.
Never hesitate to increase the price and have more flowers added. Have a look around the website for lovely add ons to make the gift extra special such as chocolates, teddies, candles, balloons and gift sets.
Note: there is a delivery charge – this enables us to deliver a safe and contactless delivery. We have to pay for our lovely driver, diesel, time and allow for delays as we have multiple deliveries every hour. We do not use couriers or taxis as we prefer to complete a personal delivery service.
Mix it Up
Roses are a timeless classic for Valentine’s day. If that’s their favourite flower, then that’s the perfect choice, but remember try and order early especially this year. We have to operate a delivery service only during Level 5 restrictions so we have to be prepared.
If you don’t know what their favourite flower is, a mixed bouquet of assorted flowers is a brilliant choice. Maybe with some luck they’ll say “oh you had them put lilies in, those are my favourite!” and you can reply “that’s what I thought too,” and then add that note in your phonecall or online order and they’ll never know.
Send their favourite colour – consider sending flowers in their favourite colour and not traditional holiday colours.
Think how special they will feel when they have realised that you asked for their favourite colour. Our shop will also have a beautiful selection of non-traditional holiday colours. Sending favourite colours is a great way for us to use our premium blooms for your thoughtful special occasion flowers.
Florist’s Choice
This is always the best choice when you really want to send something special. As a florist, this is what I ask for when I send flowers out of my area. If I’m sending special occasion flowers to my own friends or family from another florist I always ask for florist choice and I’ve never been disappointed. Usually these orders are given to the lead designer who will create a bespoke design with your request in mind.
The florist’s choice represents the best flowers and creativity the shop offers. It can be a more expensive option, but it’s always going to be the most impressive and unique.
Special Requests
If you have a special request for a particular flower or plant, order it as soon as possible. It is best to also always have a plan B. We’re dealing with perishable and seasonal products, so it might not arrive at the flower shop in time or in perfect condition. Having a plan B will ensure your florist can send out a gift you’ll be pleased with and the recipient will love too.
