You do not need an extensive knowledge of flowers to order a good bouquet. Start with five details: the occasion, your budget, the main color, the mood, and how long you will carry it.

A ready-to-use order
“It is for a birthday, around ¥3,000, mainly pink, bright and cheerful, and I will carry it for about an hour.”
What you can leave open
Available flowers change with the season and each shop’s stock. Instead of insisting on a particular flower, mention practical needs such as colors to avoid, a preference for little fragrance, or pets in the recipient’s home.
When to ask in advance
Contact the shop a few days early during busy periods such as graduation and Mother’s Day, or when you want a large bouquet or a specific color. Prices and reservation policies vary by shop.
