The Dangers of Internet Florists

We strongly recommend that you deal directly with your local British Florist Association (BFA) member florist if you can.

If not able, then look for another florist trade affiliation ensuring you are dealing direct with a florist - to get the best service, and value.

We are affiliates of internet florist organisations and can only recommend the ones that are linked from our main text areas.

As some of you may already know, some Internet “florists” are not florists but “Order Gatherers”, the middlemen who just take your order and then pass it to a real florist, earning the sales commission in the process.

We would say that you should use common sense when ordering flowers online:

Consider your order - What are you ordering?

Please place your order at least one working day prior to the delivery date. Make sure you enter the full and accurate delivery address details when ordering.

It is not likely that any florist is going to be open to deliver flowers on a any Sunday, Christmas Day, New Years Day.

It is totally inappropriate to send a big funeral spray to a residence. Where are they going to put it, anyway? Please note that most good practice florists do not deliver direct to churches or cemeteries.

A florist may reject an inappropriate order.

Flower Bouquet

A flower bouquet is a collection of flowers in a creative arrangement. There are different kinds including nosegay, hand-tied, and cascading bouquets.

Flower bouquets are often given for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. They are also used extensively in weddings. Traditionally the bride will hold the bouquet, and the Maid of Honour will hold it during the ceremony.

After the wedding the bride will toss it over her shoulder, and it is believed that whoever catches the bouquet is the next in line to be married. This practice may be related to the Golden Apple of Discord myth.

The Nosegay

A nosegay, posey (or posie, posy), flower bouquet or tussie-mussie is a small bunch of flowers, typically given as a gift.

They have existed in some form since at least medieval times, when they were carried or worn around the head or bodice to mask the unpleasant smells of the time - literally, to keep the nose gay (to keep the nose happy). In their current form, they rose to popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 onwards, at which time the tussie-mussie became a popular fashion accessory.

Typically, tussie-mussies include floral symbolism from the Language of Flowers, and therefore may be used to send a message to the recipient. See the book entitled Tussie-Mussies, the Victorian Art of Expressing Yourself in the Language of Flowers, Workman Publishing, 1993.
