Shop Local, Get Beautiful Flowers

     Flowers are a work of art from mother nature. We are drawn to them for their color, scent, shape, all of which makes them a perfect choice as a thoughtful gift for any occasion. Birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or any other occasion or event can have beautiful flowers to impress the recipient. Flowers have been shown to brighten moods and add value to living spaces.

      Sending flowers to someone is a great way to show that you are thinking of them, send a message of comfort, tell them you love them, or just brighten their day!

     In the past, people would visit their local shop and pick out exactly what they wanted (by the way - we still do this!), but now everything is available online (so are we!). Online you can easily browse arrangements, put in your information, and boom! your arrangement is on its way to being made and out for delivery. With so many options online, we are ever grateful for our customers and their support of our local shop. There are many online-only floral companies that can overshadow the smaller (and many times better) local shops and it can be tricky to know which ones are brick-and-mortar shops.

     These large online floral companies are really just the middleman between you and the local florist who will fulfill your order. Have you ever played a game of telephone? How do you think your order comes out after being filtered through multiple “representatives” before reaching the fulfilling shop? Not only can your order be muddled, but the local shop may only see 50% of the amount you paid. Many shops are lucky if they do more than break-even on each order filled. We have experienced this first hand when filling an order for an order gatherer (as we call them) just 6 months ago. The customer placed a $100 order with the online shop and we delivered a $50 arrangement, which is what we were given for the order. She was, rightfully, very upset by this and left us a negative review on Google. We tried to explain the situation as best we could.

     You may be asking, “why would local shops even participate in this setup?” Advertising. It gets their name out, the delivery vehicle is constantly going, and maybe someone will save that business card to order direct the next time. We used to be a part of a few of the big name online-only floral companies, but had to make the shift away for our sanity and reputation as well as the money lost.

     If you are wondering where you can get fresh flowers, Bloomin’ Wild is the place to be. We provide fresh floral deliveries daily to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and part of Delaware. We are even connected to hundreds of florists throughout the country to have flowers delivered to your long-distance loved ones. Our website allows for easy online ordering and the flowers will be hand delivered by one of our friendly delivery drivers.

     Our designers know what they are doing and will give 110% to each and every order. Whether you know exactly what you want down to the stem count or you just want specific colors or flowers included - something beautiful will be made to fit. If you want just loose stems, our cooler is stocked daily with fresh flowers, both local and world-wide grown. We can help you pick out flowers for a beautiful bouquet or other project you have in mind.

      We aim to not only provide high quality flowers and designs, but also high quality service that leaves you feeling like royalty. Join us at Bloomin’ Wild to browse our shop and cooler for the next piece of beauty to add to your home or send as a gift. Even if you can’t make it into the shop, we are available over the phone or online for ordering. We hope to see you soon!
