How to Choose a Good Florist in Austin

If your anything like me, you wait until the last minute to order flowers…and use any florist in Austin I can that can make a floral arrangement under a tight timeframe.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a regular florist in Austin that you use for every birthday, Mother’s Day, Christmas, funeral and all the other times you are thinking of a special someone?

Austin Money Savers Tip There are flower wholesalers in Austin that sell to the public. Some charge as low as $15 for 2 dozen stems! This is a great way to save money if you have a big event and like to create your own arrangements!

Watch this video about making gorgeous flower arrrangements yourself. Then, read on for more information about finding a florist.

Here are some things to consider when looking for a florist:

Style: Look for a florist that fits your individual style. Florists are artists- and they have a lot of opportunity to use their creativity- let them! When looking for a florist in Austin , give them the flexibility to do what they want – this is a good way to see if their style matches yours.

Austin Price Check! Florists in Austin charge anywhere from $15 on up to several hundred dollars depending upon the amount and kind of flowers. Typically, local florists will charge less than ordering them from a national floral service.

Personal Attention: Make sure the florist in Austin that most closely matches your style also provides enough personal attention. A good florist will remember your style, your floral likes and dislikes, and maybe even remember (or has taken notes on) the floral preferences of your friends/family member that are regularily receiving flowers.

Austin Money Savers Tip Austin florists may give you discounts if you are committed to using them every single time you order. Discuss with your florist a “frequent user discount.”

Product Quality: Find out when the florist receives their flowers and how long they last. You don’t want your flowers to die soon after you get them!

Product Diversity: The best florists in Austin typically also have the best variety.

Affiliation: Florists who belong to professional groups are committed to being the best in their field. Look for affiliation with national wire services (FTD, Teleflora), national trade associations like the Society of American Florists, state and local trade associations, and local community and civic organizations.
