Ordering Advice:
Floral designers are very creative individuals.  Rather than specifying the precise location of every flower in the arrangement, tell them the overall "look" you want (e.g., round arrangement, loose flowers in a vase, etc.) and let them use their creativity to do something spectacular for you!
The best advice to remember is to keep the order as general and open as possible.  Because flowers are usually better in some seasons and not others, it is wise to allow the florist to pick the types of flowers used so they can give you the best quality.  Some flowers, such as roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, are available all year.
