Planning an event or wedding, and stressing over the flowers? Buying flowers online could be your answer. Imagine having a beautiful selection of blooms delivered right to your door, saving you time and effort. Let us walk you through everything you need to know about purchasing flowers online, making your planning process smooth and fun!

Why Buy Flowers Online?

Convenience at Your Fingertips

Gone are the days of stopping into flower shops to find the right flowers. With online shopping, you can browse hundreds of options right from your home. No more running around town; everything you need is just a click away.

Greater Variety to Choose From

Online flower shops have a wider selection than you can find in person. Whether you're hunting for rare blooms or seasonal favorites, you're more likely to find them at FiftyFlowers. Plus, you can easily compare prices and styles, ensuring you get exactly what you want.

Delivered Fresh to Your Door

Worried about freshness? FiftyFlowers ship our flowers in specialized packaging to keep them fresh during transit. This means your flowers arrive looking as if they were just picked from the farm (which they were!). At FiftyFlowers, we have put time and dedication into curating genuine relationships with our farms, so we can ensure the highest quality of flowers. We worked closely with our farms to create a process where our flowers bloom just in time for your event.

Be Realistic About Your Needs

Before you start shopping, set a budget. Consider how many flowers you'll need and how much you're willing to spend. Prices can vary widely, so having a clear budget will help you stay on track. In addition, if you have your heart set on the look of one flower, but it's outside your price range, there are other blooms that are more affordable. For example, say you love the looks of orchids, but don't have the budget for them. Alstroemerias are a great alternative and are more budget friendly.

Timing Your Purchase

Order in Advance

If you're planning an event, it's wise to order your flowers well in advance. This ensures availability and allows time for any necessary adjustments. At FiftyFlowers, we suggest ordering 2-3 months in advance.

Plan for Delivery Time

Take into account the delivery time when placing your order. Our customer service team at FiftyFlowers reviews every order and ensures that your blooms get delivered in perfect timing for your event. Having your flowers arrive a couple of days before the event gives you ample time to arrange them beautifully and with care.

Customizing Your Flower Order

Mix and Match Blooms

One of the joys of buying flowers online is the ability to customize your order. Experiment with different combinations to create unique arrangements that reflect your style and theme. If you're unsure about your choices, don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service or floral consultants.

DIY vs. Professional Arrangements

Taking the DIY Route

Creating your own arrangements can be a fun and rewarding experience. If you enjoy getting hands-on and have a creative streak, consider doing it yourself. We have plenty of DIY tutorials to assist you along your journey.

Hiring a Pro

If DIY isn't your thing or you're short on time, hiring a professional might be the way to go. Hiring a florist saves time, but comes at a higher cost than DIY.

Finding a Balance

You can also opt for a mix of both. Order loose flowers online and hire a pro for the final touches. This way, you get the best of both worlds—personal involvement and expert finish.

Building a Community of Flower Lovers

Join Online Forums and Groups

Being part of a flower-loving community can provide valuable insights and inspiration. Join online forums and social media groups where you can share ideas, ask questions, and learn from others.

Share Your Creations

Don't be shy to show off your work! Share photos of your floral arrangements on social media, don't forget to tag FiftyFlowers. Engaging with the community can be a fun way to celebrate your creativity, get inspired and get feedback.

Buying flowers online doesn't have to be complicated. FiftyFlowers makes online flower shopping easy, you can find the perfect blooms for your event without any hassle. Whether you decide to DIY your arrangements or get professional help, the satisfaction of creating beautiful floral displays is unmatched.
