Buying flowers should feel simple, but customers often have the same practical questions about freshness, delivery, seasonality, bouquet size and choosing the right flowers for an occasion.
Questions We Hear at Our Covent Garden Flower Shop
In this guide, Shaws of Covent Garden answers common questions people ask a London florist, from how long flowers should last and whether seasonal flowers are better, to same-day delivery, choosing colours and getting the best value from a bouquet.
Our advice is always based on what is freshest, most suitable for the occasion and best for the customer's budget rather than simply choosing the most expensive stems.
Ask Your Florist
If you're unsure what to choose, tell us the occasion, the person, their style and your budget. A good florist can take it from there and create something personal.
