How to Send a Single Flower
- 1). Locate a flower shop either online or an actual shop you can walk into. Most online shops don't deliver single flowers, so instead of wasting time calling around, try a local flower store first.
- 2). Tell the florist what you are looking for and discuss any fees or store policies with him. Some stores have a minimum purchase for delivery, and others do not. Find out how much you must purchase in order for the shop to send the flower. You might get lucky and find a store with no minimum purchase.
- 3). Look around the shop for the perfect flower you want to send. Most florists have a cooler where they keep large vases full of single flowers. They use these flowers in their bouquets, but they also sell the flowers by the piece.
- 4). Find out if the florist requires the single flower to be sent adorned with baby's breath and fern. Sometimes a florist will wrap up the flower in cellophane and a ribbon. Any additional flowers or wrappings means additional cost.
- 5). Make sure to add up all additional costs so you aren't surprised by a final cost higher than expected. To send a single flower alone is probably inexpensive. Ask about different prices before finalizing your order.
- 6). Fill out a purchase order making sure to print clearly the delivery address. To send a single flower means accuracy. If there is a date and time or a particular person to receive the flower, include that information on the order. And don't forget to fill out a card so the recipient knows who the flower is from.
