Our fresh blooms are sourced from all over the world. Flowers are grown specifically for our industry worldwide. Amazing hydrangeas from Holland, delicate orchids in many varieties from Thailand, greens of varying looks and shades from as far away as New Zealand and Israel to our continental United States in Florida. The world is a floral playground for us and the depth of our reach is unlimited. With the exception of certains blooms we have the ability to secure most varieties for you. (Advance ordering is always best when looking for specific cuts and colors.)
The frequency of our fresh flower arrivals is dependent on the time of year and availability of certain blooms. There are times when our fresh flowers arrive twice a week and still others when we receive deliveries daily. One thing is for certain when it comes to our fresh flowers, if they aren't fresh or do not meet our idea of fresh, they are rejected and returned. We do not compromise when it comes to the quality we seek to create your designs.
It is very rare that we have flowers in stock long enough for them to pass yet when we do we toss them out. At Twigs Florist we believe that each of our designs is a true test of our abilities and further that what we choose to use in fresh flowers to execute a design is a direct reflection of not only our art but our integrity as designers. You will never see a questionable flower in our fresh flower arrangements and if the occasion should ever arise for you where our flowers are less than fresh looking bring it to our attention, immediately.
Yes. Yes they do!
Like most anything these days flowers are offered in grades.
At Twigs Floral Design Studio we stick with the highest grades in fresh flowers to ensure many things. First and foremost is our enjoyment in working with magnificent blooms. It sounds selfish but it is not. When we as designers are thrilled with our blooms you are thrilled with the result of our designs.
Many of our sources will have "tear sheets" pointing out their specials and we pass on these most times realizing that they are leftover, older, or below grade cuts. The sourcing of fresh flowers at Twigs is an art in itself and our selection, and grading, is more particular than most florists.
We believe in the integrity of our industry and the relevance of the creative force behind it. While we certainly respect an individual who wishes to "do it yourself" we do not sell fresh flowers at wholesale. Our model follows that of our respected wholesale houses who will not sell to the general public. We can secure your blooms for you and preferred pricing will be offered based on the quantity of flowers purchased yet you will pay our retail price for them.
At Twigs Floral Design Studio we follow the model that has been in place for decades in our industry.
The amount of effort placed on our part before fresh flowers are made available to our clients is extensive and requires different levels of treatment in preservatives, temperatures and overall care. The pricing of your blooms takes all of this into account and the pricing model we have in place ensures our success in the floral industry.
