💐Shopping local and supporting local matters - especially when the Internet can lead even savvy users astray, time is of the essence, and it's an emotional time.
💐We've not had many floral deliveries from online floral services claiming to be local, thanks in part to our two excellent flower shops in St. Marys: The Flower Shop and More and Lyric Flowers. Both are listed on our website, and we welcome calls from family and friends looking for local suggestions.
💐If you're ordering memorial flowers for an out-of-town service or family, call the funeral home handling the service and ask which flower shop the family is using, or a local shop that staff recommend.
💐If this isn't an option, follow these simple steps to support local and send the best quality flowers in your budget, as per the post below:
1. Open Google Maps
2. Search: "[town name] florist"
3. Look for 4.5+ stars and a visible storefront
4. Call them directly
Ask what's special in their fridge. Ask what's a really good deal. Ask what they can do within your budget and the recipient's aesthetic to (as my Dad liked to say) "knock their socks off!"
