Brides use Internet to Gain Fresher and More Affordable Wedding Flowers
New York, NY, October 5, 2009 – Over 3,000 brides in the United States have discovered the secret of going direct to the Colombian flower fields to gain fresher and more affordable wedding flowers. Using the power of the Internet and Bridesign, brides are bypassing the middleman and accessing the global markets directly to save an average of 30% on wedding flowers.
“I wanted cala lilies, but they were too expensive from a florist. With Bridesign.com I was able to get exactly what I wanted and it was very easy,” said recent bride, Nicole Fawcett.
The majority of flowers sold in the U.S. are imported. And more than half the imported flowers in the U.S. are already supplied from the flower fields of Colombia. In fact, in 2007, 72% of the roses sold in the U.S. came from Colombia.1 It was only a matter of time before a prominent flower grower in Colombia set-up a program to work directly with U.S. brides.
No stranger to customer service, Vistaflor® is a leading supplier of fresh cut flowers to the largest big box retailers in the United States. In 2005, they set up a special division called Bridesign.com to perfect the customer service process of working with brides and mother’s of the bride directly. For brides, receiving wedding flowers direct from the flower fields has two main benefits: 1. The price is more affordable by cutting out the middleman. 2. The flowers are fresher and last longer—in fact, a bride’s flowers are cut specifically for her wedding.
Bridesign flower artisans handcraft each wedding bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, and wedding centerpiece and ship them to arrive two days before the wedding. The arrangements are completely finished. Bridesign.com is the only Internet supplier of wedding arrangements that require no assembly. The wedding flowers are still blooming in the specially engineered box. Every bouquet is assembled before shipping and timed perfectly for maximum beauty on the wedding day. Brides won’t find fresher and more affordable wedding flowers anywhere.
Shipped overnight directly to the bride’s home or wedding destination, the wedding flowers are transported with the stems inserted into individual water tubes, the hand-crafted arrangements are cradled in special interior packing, and each item is strapped in with velcro-like seatbelts. The patented box Bridesign.com created to protect the flower arrangements is a game changer in the wedding industry for brides seeking fresher, more affordable wedding flowers.
Bridesign.com offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and maintains a double back-up system. By delivering two days before the wedding, if anything does not meet the bride’s satisfaction, Bridesign.com can overnight another order. Should something still not meet her satisfaction, Bridesign.com maintains a relationship with 19,000 same-day U.S. florists, who will fulfill the order or any remaining parts of the order at Bridesign.com’s cost. The result has been 100% of Bridesign.com’s weddings have had beautiful wedding flowers on their wedding day.
“Bridesign.com does 1,000 weddings a year, where the average florist won’t do 1,000 weddings in their lifetime” says Gina McKenna, a Wedding Flower Specialist who leads Bridesign’s U.S. based call center. “After watching this program in action for 4 years, I can’t think of a single reason why brides shouldn’t get fresher, more affordable flowers directly from Bridesign.com.”
