How to Send Flowers in Western Massachusetts
- 1). Spend some time thinking about the type of flower you want to send and your budget before you begin shopping for flowers. Think about the favorite colors or favorite flowers of the recipient. If you don't know what kind of flowers she likes, research the meaning of common flowers at Teleflora to send the right message (see Resources).
- 2). Select local florists throughout Western Massachusetts based on your recipient's location (see Resources). Nuttelmans, located in Northampton, serves the Northampton area and provides an easy way to send flowers to students at Smith College, Williams College, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and other local schools. Located in Great Barrington, Wildflowers Florist works for deliveries throughout the Berkshires and is a nice way to reach performers at Berkshire favorites Tanglewood or Jacob's Pillow. Springfield, one of the largest cities in Western Massachusetts, also has many florists; Consult the list at Flower Shop Network, then contact several Springfield florists to discuss your needs.
- 3). Mention the type of flowers you want to send (if you know) and your budget. Ask the florist what she can offer in terms of price, delivery options and arrangement. Comparison shop by checking with several florists. Finalize an arrangement when you are satisfied with the price, type of flowers and delivery terms.
- 4). Drive the flowers to the recipient's house yourself to send flowers in person. Or call a courier who can deliver this personal gift on your behalf.
