One of the biggest floral hacks that can save you during peak seasons is to plan and pre-order your flowers well in advance. Peak seasons, such as Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, often result in a high demand for flowers, leading to limited availability and inflated prices. By pre-ordering your flowers or ordering for pick up a couple days before, you can secure the specific types and quantities you need at more reasonable prices. Here's how you can make the most of this floral hack:
1. Start early: As soon as you know the dates of the peak seasons, begin your planning process. The earlier you start, the better chance you have of securing your desired flowers and avoiding last-minute stress.
2. Determine your needs: Decide on the type of flowers, arrangements, and quantities you require. Consider your budget and the preferences of the recipients. Having a clear idea of your needs will help you communicate effectively with the florist.
3. Pre-order or order a couple days before: (THE BIGGEST HACK) Contact us and inquire about the pre-order process. Provide us with the necessary details, such as the delivery date, specific flowers, and any customization or special requests.
4. Follow up: As the delivery date approaches, stay in touch with us and confirm the details of your order. This helps ensure everything is on track and allows you to address any potential issues proactively.
5. Consider alternative flowers: If your desired flowers are unavailable or too expensive during peak seasons, be open to alternative options. Ask us for suggestions on similar blooms that are more readily available or budget-friendly.
6. Plan for flexibility: Understand that during peak seasons, there may be minor variations in the availability or appearance of certain flowers. Be open to slight adjustments in your order and trust our expertise to create a beautiful arrangement within the given constraints.
