đ¸ Ordering Flowers Online â 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 â a bouquet to brighten a friendâs 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, itâs hard to know whoâs really behind them. Hereâs 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.
đż 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 â with clear delivery dates, fresh seasonal flowers, and friendly service from start to finish.
đ Why big relay sites arenât all theyâre cracked up to be
Youâve probably seen the big flower networks â Interflora, Teleflorist, 1-800 Flowers, and the like â promising gorgeous bouquets delivered anywhere, anytime.
Hereâs the catch: most of them donât 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 â not a middlemanâs marketing fee. You get better value, fresher blooms, and a bouquet designed by someone who genuinely loves what they do.
đ How to find a real local florist in Lusk (from anywhere in the world)
If youâre sending flowers to someone in Ireland, skip the big global relay sites and go straight to the local source â youâll get far better value, fresher flowers, and that personal touch that makes all the difference.
Hereâs how to do it:
1ď¸âŁ Go to Google Maps and type âflorist Lusk Irelandâ or âflorist near Skerries / Rush / Swordsâ or the "Eircode" available at www.eircode.ie
2ď¸âŁ Look for florists with a real Irish address, recent photos of their own work, and genuine customer reviews.
3ď¸âŁ Click through to their own website â if it ends in .ie, youâre usually in safe hands.
4ď¸âŁ Avoid sites that look generic or say âWe deliver anywhere in Irelandâ without naming a town â those are often relay companies.
When you order directly from a local florist, youâll know exactly whoâs making your bouquet (and your money stays local too đ¸).
đ¸ 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 â just flowers made with heart.
đź Read reviews before you buy
A quick look at Google reviews can tell you everything you need to know about a floristâs service, freshness, and reliability. Look for comments that mention the area youâre sending to â itâs an easy way to make sure youâre supporting someone truly local.
đŤ 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 youâre sending flowers to Lusk, Skerries, or Rush, youâll 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 â wild, whimsical, and full of life đ¸
