Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  If you need to send flowers near a holiday then place your order early. Holidays are always a busy time for florists so getting your order in early will guarantee delivery.
• •  Provide accurate information. Give the recipient's name, address, phone number, department and the hours of the business operation. Florist delivery schedules are hindered by weather, traffic, and funerals, so providing correct information helps to alleviate delays.
• •  The state flower of West Virginia is the Rhododendron so using a West Virginia florist who offers these in an arrangement can add a special, local touch.
