I am ordering from the UK, online, to be sent to a friend who is studying at Yale, and it's really hard to figure out which floristy is good for fresh flowers, stylish displays and delivery from the websites. I'm thinking of something like 12 red roses, a purple themed bouquet or a purple orchid in a pot and our budget is around $60. Thanks.|||check out FTD.com
It's far easier to search and order online and let FTD do the searching for you....|||I always use Inter flora, sadly you will not know what you get until it arrives. But you know you will always get good service in the States, after all it is the home of top service!!!|||Try the web site Proflowers.com......LRMM

What kind of sympathy arrangement to send a male?
My boyfriends grandmother passed this morning. She practically raised him after his own mother died so he is taking this pretty hard. I was wanting to send some flowers to the funeral home. I know he would appreciate having an arrangement sent to him. What sort sympathy arrangement would be appropriate for a male?
I don't want to visit a florist. I was hoping to order them online. Any online florist suggestions as well?|||You are sweet for wanting to support him. I like proflowers.com - they are pretty inexpensive. You can send them to his house or to the funeral home - personally I think to his house is better, but check the obituary in the newspaper to see if the family has any special instructions.
I don't think there is any arrangment or flower that a man would not appreciate. There's no such thing as 'male' arrangements or 'female' arrangements. Men love all kinds of flowers too!! White roses and white lilies are popular sympathy flowers but anything is great - it's the thought that counts.
I have one more suggestion: Instead of (or in addition to) sending them now, wait two or three weeks and send the flowers then, with an encouraging note. Bereaved families are flooded with sympathy for the first week or two, then everything suddenly drops off to nothing, the flowers die, the cards stop coming, and the shock has worn off - this is when people need help and sympathy the most, in my opinion.|||I'm sure that anything at all will be appreciated, but for men, I tend to order a plant. Almost every online florist has a selection of plants in their "Sympathy" section. They aren't quite so "girly" and they make a lovely living tribute to a beloved relative.
If possible, find a florist that is local to the funeral and order from there. Most of them have websites and allow you to order online nowadays. My family and I have had very good luck with this method, especially when we are sending flowers to an out-of-state funeral.|||Try sending him an arrangement that you made yourself, with cheese and crackers and canned meats. Throw in a loaf of bread and wrap it in a blue bow. They probably need the food, anyways, having friends and family over that need food. Food is expensive. Food donations like that, can really save a family during such a tough time, and anyways men love food.
You can also make him a nice casserole or something, as well, but its hard to send those or order them online. There are catering services, so if you want you can order him a couple of meals through one.

All the best hope everything works out %26amp; I'm truly sorry to hear.|||A simple, tasteful floral arrangement. When my dad died we were sent several plants. It gave me the chills everytime I saw them because they reminded me of his death. The good thing about flowers is you don't feel guilty about throwing them away when they are beyond their prime.|||Go simple...maybe a peace lilly or something like that. Since male if you get an entricate boquette, it may be lost if he does not care about flowers. A simple arrangement says you care but you are not spending alot of money on something that is not going to get full appreciation.|||It's OK to send either mums or lilies.
Go see him at the funeral home too if at all possible.
It's times like this that friends are needed the most.|||a nice mixed planter would be very nice. you can get one for anywhere from $25 up, it could be sent to the funberal home with a note on the back of the card that that particular item be reserved for him, you could also get some cut flowers placed in it.
another suggestion i saw was a blooming plant that could be planted outside, such as a mum plant, but a planter has several different varities of plants, and eventually could be seperated into however many different plants there are, and placed in different rooms of the house.|||Try flowers.com. Do a search for sympathy or something to that extent. Call them if you don't see anything good online that might fit. Usually talking to someone and telling them exactly what you want is a lot better.

Wholesale florist?
i am looking for a good online wholesale florist for my wedding - any suggestions? - not proflowers please.|||Check out ~ 'Fifty Flowers'

When you buy (for example) enough toilet paper for over 5 years of personal use, you show the wholesaler your merchant license, which is document proof that you intend to resell the items you had bought, with a markup to reflect storage cost, administration, and a reasonable profit margin. Your merchant's license entitles you not to be charged sales tax. If you're not buying a huge quantity, and don't hold a merchant retailer's license, you don't qualify for wholesale prices. If you have a Costco membership store in your area, and apply for wholesaler discount, they're going to ask you to produce your business license, which is document proof you intend to use your purchases, either for resale to the general consumer, or to replenish your business raw materials consumables. If you want flowers for a one-time wedding event, you don't qualify for a wholesale discount. Oh sure, some retailers claim they're giving you a wholesale deal, but they're just using the word "wholesale" as a marketing ploy. "Wholesale" means to buy a HUGE quantity, for either resale to the general public, or to replenish your business operations' raw-material consumables.|||A true "wholesaler" will not sell to anyone without a retail license. Anyone who advertises "wholesale to the public" is lying.

Is it cheaper to go into a store to buy flowers or order them online.?
I need to have them delivered in my area on Monday. Could I get a better deal if I actually go to a florist's shop as opposed to picking them out online?|||Online, http://www.flowersbloom.com is good|||I always will support the local florist over an online retailer. I've been burned every time with poor quality flowers purchased online/over the phone. From now on I'll only purchase what I can see, smell, and hold.|||i'd say it would be better to go into a store. that way you could see what your buying and you dont have to pay shipping! =]
Flowers in Grocery and at Florist?
Why is that when you buy flowers from local grocery store they are about $10-$15 dozen, and if you wanna buy online/florist they are about $50 and up...what is the difference? or just rip off?|||It's totally OK to buy flowers for a grocery store. They may be a little less fresh than the florists' flowers, but just pull off the wilted petals and put a fresh vertical cut in the stem. Put them in luke warm water and sprinkle a little sugar in the water. They are just as pretty and much less expensive! Buy flowers from the floral department, not the pre-arranged ones throughout the store.|||When you buy on-line, or through a florist, you are paying for the convenience and service of them doing it for you. Grocery stores are cash and carry when it comes to floral items, so the prices are more reasonable.|||When you buy online, more than likely you are also having them delivered. Plus the fact that the internet is a convenient (albeit more expensive) tool. I buy flowers all the time over the internet cause I live far away from my family. It is an option but not always the best choice for people wanting to save money.
