Tips & Warnings
Ordering flowers is easy but occasionally the flowers are not delivered as scheduled. It doesn't hurt to make a phone call the day after just to make sure the flower arrived. And don't be embarrassed to ask the recipient how the flower looks. There is nothing worse then sending a flower for a special occasion just to find out the flower was brown and wilted.
