Clueless guy's guide to buying flowers
Here's your foolproof guide to choosing the perfect bouquet to impress your miss. It doesn't take a lot of money or any kind of floral-knowledge to knock her socks off! A few easy-to-remember pointers is all you'll need for the rest of your life.


"what is it?"

step 1Learn at least a little something about your girl
What color does she like? If you have no idea, think about what colors she often wears or has about her. What color is her bag, her phone, her shoes, her laptop? Chances are the answers are all around you.How would you describe her? Edgy? Nature-y? Soft and romantic? Career/goal-oriented? Delicate or bold? Shy or outgoing? Funny, quirky, serious? Even just one or t…

step 2What do you want to say?
Decide what your gesture is trying to say.I like you and want to pursue something further?Thanks for a great evening?I'm totally in love with you and want everyone to know it?Happy birthday/anniversary/batmizvah?I'm really sorry for what I did/said/forgot?I was just thinking how much you might like these flowers for no reason at all? (this is an especially good one)


step 3Find a florist
Look in the phone book to find a local florist. If there are multiple florists and reviews available, check those out to help you with a decision. If you can't find one nearby, try to find a grocer with a floral counter. Even this is better than nothing!If there's one near you, a farmers' market is also a great place to find fresh flowers and support local growers.


step 4Get help from a pro
It's fine to stop and look at all of the pre-arranged bouquets they have to offer. But know this: you'll get more for your money by getting something custom madeAfter you've had a look around, find someone who works there and tell them the following things:"I want an arrangement made for (occasion/reason)." .Even if the flowers are to say "I'm sorry," fess up, and the f…


step 5What to do if you can't find a florist
Try to avoid going to the convenience store/gas station to buy your flowers, but if you absolutely HAVE to resort to this, there are still ways you can class up your act:Remove the plastic from the flowersBuy some colored tissue paper, butcher paper or craft paper and some ribbon or raffia or whatever you can find to tie them up withMake your own card (see step 6)


step 6Write a card
This is the hard part, but you'll be OK!Keep it short and simple. Avoid anything generic or cheesy and make it sincere. Even a few well chosen words will go farther than some over-quoted sonnet. If you're totally stuck, I recommend using a famous quotes site. I recommend Bartelby's or QuotationsPage.com where you can type a word or phrase into a box and get a slew of…


step 7Give Flowers, Get Kisses!!
The last step is to decide when and how to deliver your precious gift.If you're picking her up at her house, the flowers-behind-the-back trick is classic.If you're going to be out together all day, consider whether she'll want to be carrying around a big bunch of flowers on your adventures (probably not). If this is the case, invest in a cheap cooler and store them in …
