Sarah McMillan from the Perth florist, Beautiful Bunches, tells a funny story about the florist industry: A man wanted his wife’s birthday to be really special, so on his way home, he collected a bottle of absinthe and went to the florist to pick up a bunch of white anemones – his wife’s favourite flowers.
Unfortunately, the florist was sold out of flowers and had only a few stems of feathery ferns.
The gentleman then asked the florist to create an arrangement using the ferns and the bottle of grog. He wrote a card and went on his way home.
They enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner, after which he presented his wife with his bouquet. She opened the card to read, “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.”
With a tear in her eye, she whispered to him lovingly, “Yes, and with fronds like these, who needs anemones.”
However, it’s no joke ordering flowers online from Perth florist, Beautiful Bunches.Customers will get much more than a few meagre fern stems and they’ll always have white anemones in the spring season.
But how should one go about selecting an online florist ? Selecting a florist online shouldn’t be a decision made quickly or lightly, said the Perth florist.”It is important to select a florist with an established reputation for professionalism and customer service. “Customers should always speak to the florist personally if they are unsure of any aspect of the online flower delivery service.By doing that, customers will establish lines of contact and will get individual, personalised service.Customers should have no doubt whatsoever that their order will be fulfilled just as they would expect it to be. Customers should be comfortable that any testimonials on the florist’s website are legitimate. Sarah also cautions customers against online florists who offer an instant delivery service, as she says that that implies that the arrangement isn’t fresh.”We’re not talking vast distances in Perth, but it is very important that arrangements are freshly made to customer specifications and not treated like pre-packed vegies in a grocery store.We guarantee delivery. The online florist website has to be 100% secure with no compromise on customer privacy. It’s vital to establish credentials and that the florist is experienced, she said.”As one of the established online florists in Perth, Beautiful Bunches has amassed a great deal of experience over the years in selecting and arranging the best flowers to suit the season and the occasion. We pride ourselves on constructing interesting and beautiful arrangements, and creating bunches that convey the appropriate message.We know what to look for when buying at the wholesale markets and we know what flowers work well together.By way of example, gladiolus flowers should be cut when the last 3 or 4 flowers are still closed.Tulips with very tightly closed buds should also not be used because they simply will not bloom. Experience counts for a lot in the floristry business.” While this Perth florist sees the bright side of life, she is always serious about making sure that everyone giving or receiving flowers from Beautiful Bunches is happy.
