Here's another reason to order a designer's choice, mixed floral bouquet directly from a local florist.
Florists who accept orders from traditional wire services like Teleflora and FTD, often use the images that reflect the wire service's "recipe" and a price-point calculated to include the fees the florist must pay for fulfilling wired orders. Price-points that may be well over your budget and send you running into the nearest grocery store flower department. While convenient and more affordable, like many things, you'll get what you paid for...
Instead, consider taking advantage of the talent found in your local florist. Together, you can create a truly personalized bouquet that reflects the preferences of the recipient AND works with a budget you can afford. Even if you have no particular reference, a Designers Choice bouquet will be as unique as you can get.
We have yet to meet a local florist who wasn't willing to create a custom-designed bouquet to meet our budget. All of the floral arrangements featured on this site were custom-designed based on a few requests (no carnations or babies breath... shades of blues, reds, fuschias preferred) with a budget of $40 for each bouquet.
