Ordering from a Local Florist: What to Expect

When it comes to ordering flowers, many consumers go to websites such as 1800Flowers or Teleflora. These sites seem quick and easy and seem to display a lot of different arrangement options to view. However, these orders are sent to shops who sign up to receive them. Often times the florist who actually receives and completes the order does not even have the flowers or vases shown in the pictures!

Also, have you ever noticed that after you select the arrangement, only then do you have the option of  choosing the size of the arrangement you have chosen? This is because the picture shown is usually the price of a small arrangement and does not include size upgrades or your delivery charge. By the time you reach your final check-out, your total will probably increase $20 or more.

So… what is the alternative?  Call Bergerons of course!  Our process is a lot faster and much more personal. We keep all of your information, including past orders, and can pull it up in our secure database as soon as you call. We can discuss exactly what you want and tell you exactly what we have available to create a special arrangement for you. Once we get all your information and collect payment, your order simply prints out in the back of the shop and is ready for creation!

Don't Bust Your Budget: Wedding Flowers Calculator

Planning your big day? The last thing you want to do is bust your budget. Wedding budgets are about as diverse as the people who are making them – from the simplistic to the extremely extravagant.

Looking for a simple way to find flowers that fit into your budget? Check out our Wedding Flowers Calculator - an easy tool to determine which flowers fit into your budget.

Our Wedding Flowers Calculator allows you to get an idea of how much you’ll be spending on flowers for your wedding, before you even come into the shop. The spreadsheet will automatically calculate total costs according to the quantity you estimate for each item. The spreadsheet includes categories for economy flowers, most popular flowers and more expensive flowers.

Many of you ask, "Which flowers fit into each category"?  Well, that can depend. If you were concentrating chrysanthemums, dianthus (carnations), alstroemeria (Peruvian lily), or asters~these would more or less be considered in the lower price point. So, if at any point you mix these flowers with some of the more expensive flowers, then you would be lowering the cost of your flowers. Roses, freesia, gerbera, tulips, etc. are considered among the medium price point. And, just to name a few of the higher price point flowers~we have orchids, calla lilies, peonies, and hydrangea to round out the list. Although, there are hundreds of flowers to choose from, this will give you just a snippet of what each category includes.

Keep in mind that while the Wedding Flowers Calculator is a useful tool for estimating and calculating a floral budget, it doesn’t take the place of an in-depth consultation with our knowledgeable bridal designers. It is, however, a good place to start when determining cost options.
