A Real Florist - No Brokerage Fees


Unlike large order-only brokerages, real flower shop's receive your orders and fulfill your orders. Order-only brokerages (large call centers without a flower or bouquet in sight) simply take your order -- add on their service fees and retain their commissions -- and farm out the orders to the local florists. This additional brokerage fee can be as high as 30% - maybe more in some cases! If you are in any doubt about the web site - phone them and ask them this question: "Are you a 'real' florist?"

One way Brant Florist is special is in their pricing - it's transparent - the price you see is the price you pay. In fact, in many cases the price you pay is often less - specially if you order online.

Web Savvy Since the Mid 90's


"Men Like Flowers Too!"
Brant Florist has been online since the mid-1990s, and their leading online catalogue and order processing website has pioneered many web flower shop firsts. For instance, they are one of only a few online flower shops that accept Interac Online [www.interac.ca/online]. Of course they accept all traditional credit cards too, and most recently began accepting PayPal too.

In fact, to make the buying experience even easier, Brant Florist will even take take your credit card information over the phone -- even after you've placed your order online! It's just another way that Brant Florist works to ensure you get the best possible service every time.

Tips For Ordering Smart


As much as we like to choose the flowers or gifts we want by "sight", flower shops and florists in general, wish we understood that "products may not appear exactly as shown" -- in other words, the flowers we see in the catalogue or on the website, are there to show you the design intent. The actual flowers delivered will be subject to local availability, seasonal influence and more. It's also important to note that all flower deliveries are "hand made" to order and as such are unique and special. No two bouquets or arrangements are exactly alike - this is what makes them such a perfect gift.

More often than not, florists can match the picture pretty closely, and unless you send "Aunt May" a picture of what you ordered, she's not likely to notice any subtle differences and will only focus on what a wonderful bouquet she got from you!

How To Get The Best Flowers Every Time


The best solution for ordering smart is to simply contact your local florist directly, tell them where you'd like your flowers or gifts delivered, indicate your budget and give them some general idea about the design of the arrangement or flowers you would like to choose.

Professional flower arranger's (designers) enjoy it most when given the opportunity to create something innovative and artistic. More often than not, you will get a bouquet or arrangement that is great value for money when you give them some creative latitude.
