When sending flowers, will the delivery person tell the recipient who they are from?

May 162011

I sent flowers to someone a few days ago, but don’t want them to know I sent them until awhile after..

So, I’m hoping the delivery person won’t be telling them who sent it?
I wrote a message on the card, should that be the only tell-tale of who sent it?

The only info of mine that I gave the company was my billing information.

Would love some help on this!
Thanks :)

That all depends if you left special instructions to the company or flower shop you bought from. Like my brother sent flowers to my mom without my sis or even me knowing who sent them. The only address indicated was the place where the flowers came from.

Usually if you left special instructions to the flower shop they will not disclose any more information. Also the flower shop that my brother used, used Fedex. Fedex knocked on the door once and said "hello you have a box waiting for you!"

We didn’t know it was from my brother until we read the card.

Any flower website that doesn’t delivery flowers in a box?

I ordered at proflowers.com last time, and instead of delivering the flower in a vase, the flowers were put in a box and I ended up having to arrange the flowers in the vase myself. I do NOT want that to happen again this year. I want my mom (person getting the flower) to be in awe when she sees the flowers beautifully arranged in the vase when she receives them from the delivery man this Valentine’s Day.

Do you know any website that delivers like that? I will never use ProFlowers ever again.

Then order the arrangement with a vase, there is that option too.

I’m on my way to becoming a freelance florist, where do they order flowers wholesale?

If you know any great websites where I can order flowers at a cheaper rate or wholesale.
If you know any awesome books on flowers and arranging let me know as well!

thanks!

most florists grow their own flowers, in greenhouses, sometimes in separate buildings or locations

to find a cheap place just to buy them, would vary greatly by location… as many flowers don’t last very long, you had better look locally.
