Calling all Brides!-Would you buy your fresh wedding bouquets from the Internet?

If there was a website that shipped nationally, gave a garuntee for fresh delivery,and gave you a wide selection of pre-constructed wedding bouquest for a low cost...would you consider buying your bridal party bouquets through that web site instead of using a local florist?

Nope. A brides flowers are an important part of her day, even if your guarantee it, there is no way to really 100% ensure they will be beautiful when she walks down the aisle. (a guarntee just means she would get her money back) Her day would be ruined, what would she be expected to do if your company was in CA and she was in Ohio? She couldnt call and get a replacement bouquet brought over. Also, how can you ensure the arrival of the bouquets on time? If she is getting married at 8 am she would need them to get there by 7 am, fed ex isnt going to deliver that early #1 and I wouldnt trust a shipping company to give any window other than "before 10 am" things are delivered in order they are loaded on the truck, if you live far from the distribution site you have a good chane of being first, but the closer you live the further back on the truck you are.


Not such a great idea.
Reply:No. WIth a floirst you have more options, they will work within your price range as well. Plus, if you get it from the florist that day %26amp; have a problem with it, they will correct it. When my florist delivers all of my flowers, she doesn't leave until she gets the OK from me that they are what I wanted. Don't get that from the internet.
Reply:Nope, not a chance. Even overnight shipping could damage the flowers, and they'd start to wilt. Also, things to wrong with shipping all the time.
Reply:no, i wouldn't the quality is just not gonna be there, you can't really see their work, and flowers just don't need to be out of water that long with our adaquit preparation to the stems which you can't do once they are in bouquets...I worked at a florist for 2 years and i just wouldn't be happy im sure
Reply:NEVER! Remember you'll have to pay transport too. What if they get your bouquet wrong? Then what?
Reply:I would prefer to have a store location, where I could inspect the regular quality of their merchandise, and how flowers are handled and delivered.





Flowers shipped at this time of year may run into delays with winter weather. They may be exposed to cold winter air and wither. They may arrive on time, but be completely not what you expect. And if you order on the Internet, it's not like you can send a representative over to their store to demand replacements in the hour before the wedding!





Yes, it might be lower cost, but it's much higher risk, with fewer options to fall back on if something goes amiss.
Reply:I think I would at least consider doing this. I have ordered flowers online before and they have arrived in perfect condition. What website is this so I can take a look at these bouquets?
Reply:no


everyone knows the plant will go bad from sitting in the box for a week or so


my mom bouhgt a plant and it came to us as dried out
Reply:Nope. Never buy what you can't see. ESPECIALLY for a wedding!
Reply:I wouldnt because they could be dead by the time they get to your house. And they might not look like they show.
Reply:no I would not because it will not look right when it gets to your house.
