Ordering Advice:
If possible, have the telephone number of the recipient.  In a worst case scenario, it might be necessary to contact the recipient to get further directions.  While it may "spoil" the surprise of getting the flowers, it is usually better than not getting the order delivered at all.
Place your flower order early, especially for holidays.  By placing the order a few days ahead of the delivery date, you give the florist the chance to order the product you want if they do not already have it.  Additionally, florists usually have a limit to the quantity of orders they can deliver for a particular holiday.  By placing your order early, you will make sure you are one of those able to get their orders filled.
