Why pre-order your flowers?

Why do Florists predominantly offer a pre-order for big events like Mothers day and valentines day?

You’ve certainly seen it from me, and I’m sure you will have also seen it from other florists, we ask you to pre-order for those calendar worthy events, such as mothers day, valentines day. Have you ever wondered why? Well, when we order from our wholesalers they offer an extended pre-ordering service for these events. This allows them to secure enough flowers from the growers (as these will be shipping their flowers all around the world). It also allows us to secure a price so we can design and create the gorgeous florals you will be buying! The sad truth is during these times flower prices increase even to an even higher price point than they are all year round so again it helps us florists create the best bouquets we can without them being out of reach for most people. It also helps florists to order the right amount of flowers so they don’t end up having lots of flowers left over, or running out and not being able to service their customers. The pre-ordering is often open till a day or so before so even as short notice as that can help!

For me I will be closing my pre-order tonight. Thank you to all those who have ordered. We will have some availability for anyone who hasn’t ordered, but I can’t guarantee we will be close on Saturday!

If you did want to order – please do it quick! x
