Word of mouth is often the best resource when looking for a florist. An outstanding florist will have a good reputation in your community. If you use a telephone directory to find a florist, look for one with a local address.

CHOOSING A FLORIST
Other than a good reputation, there are a number of factors to bear in mind when selecting a florist:

1. Product Mix
Look for a floral shop that offers the mix of products, level of service and style of design that fits your needs, and those of the recipient.

2. Personal Attention
The best florists, particularly if you use them regularly, will get to know you and keep track of your floral preferences. Most importantly, they will come to know for whom you generally buy flowers, and what their tastes are. In this case, you will often be able to leave the choice of content and colour for, say, a bouquet, entirely at the discretion of the florist.

3. Convenience
Look for convenient opening hours and a location that is easily accessible.

4. Suggestions
Good florists ask questions about what you're looking for, offering expert advice and suggesting floral gifts to match any sentiment, occasion, personality or home decor.

5. Creativity
Look for artistry in the florist's arrangements, design and presentation.

6. Selection and Variety
From familiar varieties to exotic tropical flowers, a good quality florist's shop stocks a complete "menu" of flowers and plants from which to choose.

7. Quality
The finest florists in the field stock the highest quality products, provide floral food with each purchase and offer instructions for proper care to ensure maximum enjoyment. All good florists provide a guarantee of satisfaction.

8. Professional Affiliation
Florists who belong to professional Pride themselves at being the best in their field. Look for affiliation with national trade associations like the British Florist Association, The Society of Floristry, Flower and Plants Association, as well as local community and civic organisations.

BUYING FLOWERS FOR WOMEN
When it comes to gift giving, carefully selecting the varieties and colours you send will result in thoughtful, customised gifts people appreciate and like to receive. The first step is to consider the preferences of the person who is receiving the gift. For example, favourite flowers, colours and the message you wish to convey. Consult with your florist, who can help you create the right gift, as well as explaining the possibilities available.

Floral Signatures include:

Natural
These are suitable for people who are casual, earthy and prefer the outdoors. Flowering or green plants, meadow flowers and woodsy accents suit this personality best.

Romantic
Suitable for those who are generous, spontaneous and extravagant. Bouquets of soft colours, light fragrances and accents of lace or ribbon might suit romantics.

Expressive
These are suitable for those seeking personal betterment, with an attraction to the unconventional. Exotic flowers and unusual combinations of shape, colour and texture will match their creativity and artistic bent.

Traditional
These are appropriate for people who are trustworthy, family oriented and prefer classic styles. They appreciate lush arrangements with a great variety of flowers.

Contemporary
These are suitable for individuals who see themselves as cutting-edge trendsetters, who enjoy "living in the moment." Vogue styles such as monochromatic bouquets or arrangements with a few, large vibrant flowers are favourites.

FLOWERS FOR MEN
Flowers are not traditionally gifts for men. However, men love to get flowers for the same reason they send them, namely to be recognised. Everyone likes to feel special. A good indicator of when it might be appropriate to send flowers to a man would be to consider his favourite occasions for sending them. Don't forget that no reason is often the best reason. Just as women love receiving flowers for no reason at all, a surprise floral gift will surely catch his attention too.

Designs and Colours for Men
Men are stimulated by colour and are visually oriented. Research shows that men prefer vivid colours such as yellow, orange and red. Flower arrangements that are contemporary, linear styles or natural styles are best. Other favourites might include green or flowering plants. Tell your florist that you want flowers for a man and ask for specific suggestions. If your recipient has a hobby, perhaps you could highlight that. For example, if he is a golfer, tuck in a box of golf balls. If he is into cars, add an auto magazine or two. Your florist can offer creative suggestions for flowers that are sure to please
