1. How many months in advance do we need to book for wedding flowers?
It differs from florist to florist. When a florist has reached the maximum weddings they can do, they will not book anymore. It is a good idea to call ahead, ask them if your date is available, and if so then make a consultation appointment. It is best if you have a color scheme in mind; this will give you a better estimate.

2. Is there a certain flower that really smells strong?
There are actually two types of flowers that have a strong scent. One being the Lilly (casablanca, rubram, stargazer- all are types of lilies)
The second is the gardenia, it is often used as a boutonniere or corsage for weddings, proms and parties.

Carnations, daisies, birds of paradise, antriums, ginger's, protea, liatras, orchids, most of the exotic flowers last the longest.

4. What types of flowers don't last long?
Most of the spring flowers do not last long for example iris, tulips, freesia, narcissus, and stocks ones like that.

5. Someone I know passed away, what type of flowers do I send to the funeral home/family?
This varies on the individual, if you like something for more show, then it is good to send a standard funeral tribute. If you like something more delicate and unique that the family can take home, then a table arrangement is a good choice.

6. I would like to send flowers to Europe/USA how do I go about doing that, and how long does it take to get there?
You can call your florist who has an association with F.T.D. or Teleflora wire service, they will take the information and send the order out for you through one of the wire services. You should give your florist the information a day or two in advance so they can assure it will be there the day you want it. Time differences vary on the location.

7. My bridal shower is coming up, it is customary for the groom to come at the end of the shower, do I bring something for him or the person who planned the shower?
Yes you can bring a presentation bouquet with roses or mixed flowers, and if you would like something extraordinary you can request that they wrap it in crepe paper. As for the person who organized the shower, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not they get flowers.

8. I like something different, can it be done?
We do different types of designs, it depends on the occasion. We also do customary arrangements to suite the occasion.

9. I want to send something to a man, is flowers a good idea?
Lot's of people send flowers. You could have an arrangement in masculine colors sent or you can send him a fruit/gourmet basket, which is always a good choice for a man. You could also send a planter basket, with different types of plants.

10. What is the difference between a exotic/regular/garden arrangement?
An exotic is a triangular style arrangement that consists of some exotic flowers mixed with commonly used flowers.
Regular is a table arrangement that is the most commonly ordered.
Garden arrangement is a glass vase arrangement that consists of spring or summer flowers and has cascading greens that hang over the sides of the vase. It's like you just picked the flowers from the garden type of look.
