There’s just something magical about flowers. They’re lovely to look at, delightful to smell, and always a joy to receive or give. Despite all our modern tech, from digital documents and streaming services to e-cards and e-books, flowers remain beautifully unchanged.
Even in our fast-paced digital world, flowers continue to bring joy to children, adults, and the elderly alike. Their charm has endured through time, and for good reason.
The modern-day flower challenge
Unfortunately, not all flowers today are as fresh as they used to be. In the past, flowers were easily accessible and grown nearby. However, in urban areas like Singapore, limited space makes it difficult to grow flowers locally.
Many florists now bring in flowers from further away, often from rural areas or even overseas. This means that by the time the blooms reach your recipient, they may already be wilting. That’s why it’s essential to choose a florist in Singapore who truly understands the heart and soul of flowers.
How to spot a great florist
If you’re unsure where to start, here are three key things to look out for when picking the right florist:
1. They know their flowers
Let’s be honest: if your florist freezes up when you mention peonies or hydrangeas, you might not be in the right shop. A good florist will know their blooms inside and out, from the popular roses to exotic flowers you’ve only seen on Pinterest.
A knowledgeable florist is confident, passionate, and excited to recommend the right arrangement or bouquet for your occasion.
2. They care for flowers properly
Different flowers have different care needs. The best florists treat their flowers like delicate treasures, storing and handling them with great care. If you notice your florist tossing blooms together without much thought, it’s a sign they may not prioritise quality.
Freshness matters, especially when you want your flowers to last more than just a few hours.
3. They listen to your story
Behind every bouquet is a story. Maybe it’s for a proposal, a birthday, or a heartfelt apology. A great florist will ask questions, listen attentively, and help you select the right flowers that match the sentiment of the moment.
Whether you want to order a wreath online, send a comforting message to someone who needs to get well soon in Singapore, or are wondering whether to go for an arrangement or a bouquet, a trusted florist will guide you every step of the way.
