Ordering Flowers Online

🌸 Ordering Flowers Online – The Modern Way to Send a Little Joy

Ordering flowers online has become second nature for so many of us. With just a few clicks, you can send something beautiful — a bouquet to brighten a friend’s day, a thoughtful gesture of love, or simply a fresh bunch for your own kitchen table.

But with so many websites offering flowers these days, it’s hard to know who’s really behind them. Here’s what to look for when ordering online, and why choosing a real local florist (like us here at Wisteria in Lusk) makes all the difference.


🌿 Convenience at your fingertips

The best thing about ordering online is how easy it is. You can browse a range of designs, colours, and price points from the comfort of your home. At Wisteria Florist in Lusk, we make it simple to find something that feels personal — with clear delivery dates, fresh seasonal flowers, and friendly service from start to finish.


💐 Why big relay sites aren’t all they’re cracked up to be

You’ve probably seen the big flower networks — Interflora, Teleflorist, 1-800 Flowers, and the like — promising gorgeous bouquets delivered anywhere, anytime.

Here’s the catch: most of them don’t actually make the flowers. They take your order, keep a big commission, and send the rest to a local florist to fulfil (often for less than the bouquet costs to make).

The result? The florist does their best with a smaller budget, but the customer ends up paying more for less.

When you order directly from a real florist, every cent goes into your flowers — not a middleman’s marketing fee. You get better value, fresher blooms, and a bouquet designed by someone who genuinely loves what they do.


📍 How to find a real local florist in Lusk (from anywhere in the world)

If you’re sending flowers to someone in Ireland, skip the big global relay sites and go straight to the local source — you’ll get far better value, fresher flowers, and that personal touch that makes all the difference.

Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Go to Google Maps and type “florist Lusk Ireland” or “florist near Skerries / Rush / Swords” or the "Eircode" available at www.eircode.ie
2️⃣ Look for florists with a real Irish address, recent photos of their own work, and genuine customer reviews.
3️⃣ Click through to their own website — if it ends in .ie, you’re usually in safe hands.
4️⃣ Avoid sites that look generic or say “We deliver anywhere in Ireland” without naming a town — those are often relay companies.

When you order directly from a local florist, you’ll know exactly who’s making your bouquet (and your money stays local too 🌸).


🌸 Freshness and quality you can trust

Real local florists work with fresh stock daily, often sourced from Irish growers and trusted suppliers. At Wisteria, every bouquet is arranged to order in our Lusk studio, wrapped beautifully, and delivered by hand across Skerries, Rush, and nearby towns. No factories — just flowers made with heart.


🌼 Read reviews before you buy

A quick look at Google reviews can tell you everything you need to know about a florist’s service, freshness, and reliability. Look for comments that mention the area you’re sending to — it’s an easy way to make sure you’re supporting someone truly local.


💫 In short

Ordering flowers online should be joyful and easy. Skip the middlemen and go straight to the hands that tie the ribbons and trim the stems. Whether you’re sending flowers to Lusk, Skerries, or Rush, you’ll always get something more thoughtful when you order from a florist who creates, not clicks.

At Wisteria Florist, every bouquet is handcrafted right here in Lusk — wild, whimsical, and full of life 🌸
