Top 10 Florists near you

Everything you need to know about florists.

Florists purchase greenery and flowers and arrange them to meet their customers’ needs. Many also provide floral arrangements for big events like weddings, proms and funerals. 

What types of flowers, plants and gifts do florists provide?

Local florists near you may only provide flower arrangements. They may also sell various gifts and decorations like balloons, stuffed animals and ribbons. Some florists even offer gift and food baskets with chocolate-covered cherries, all the fixings for a charcuterie board or various types of fruit to include with a flower arrangement. Your local florist may also have a small plant shop where they sell houseplants as an alternative to cut flowers. 

Your local florist may also offer simple flower arrangements to give as gifts, such as:

  • Half dozen or dozen single-colored roses
  • Seasonally themed bouquet suitable for a side table or office setting
  • Collection of small plants mixed together in a basket to create a living centerpiece

Check out what types of flowers, gifts and other items a local florist near you is offering.

How much do florists cost?

The cost to hire a florist for an event will depend on the event, time of year and the types of flowers and plants you desire. For example, wedding floral arrangements are typically more expensive than flowers you might order for a birthday party. 

If you want to have flowers delivered as a gift, ask your local florist for a range of prices and some examples of popular arrangements. Remember that prices fluctuate according to the season. For example, don’t be surprised if your florist has higher prices for red roses around Valentine’s Day. 

Questions to ask local florists.

Whether you need flowers for an upcoming event or you just want to send a lovely bouquet of roses to a family member, ask a few questions before you pick a florist:

  • What types of flowers and plants do you recommend within my budget?
  • Are there any flowers that are in season or out of season?
  • Have you provided floral arrangements for events similar to mine in the past? 
  • Can I see photos of your work? 
  • Have you worked with other customers who've had an event at our venue?
  • Are you handling other events on the same day as my event? 
  • Do your services include setting up the arrangements or will you just drop off the flowers? 
  • How much do you charge for your services?
  • Do you offer any packages, discounts or deals?
  • Can you work with any decor restrictions required by my venue?
  • Do you offer other services like fabric draping, candelabras, wreaths or wearable arrangements? 
  • What happens to the flowers after my event?

How to choose the best florist near you.

Before you hire a florist, do a little research. Read customer reviews, check out their photos and get a few price estimates. If you have specific floral preferences, such as the inclusion of a rare or exotic flower, let the florists know upfront so they can provide you with an accurate estimate in your quote.
