I don't know anything about flowers. People are becoming more and more familiar with flowers as they become an integral part of our modern culture and play a role in most major life experiences and social settings. However, professional florists are the real experts, whether you're interested in flower care or varieties. They can help you fine-tune your knowledge of flowers.
Florists can also suggest design styles for any occasion.
Build a relationship with your local florist, and let him or her be your floral mentor. Relying on word of mouth is often the best way to find a florist. Keep an eye on the flowers at weddings and parties you attend, or the flowers in arrangements delivered to your friends and co-workers. If you use a telephone book to find a florist, look for one with a local address. If you choose a national service with a toll-free number, pick an established organization with a strong reputation for providing great service.
