How to Send Flowers Out of State

Overview

So your sweetie lives far away, but you want to remind him or her how much you love them? Send flowers! They're easy to order and ship anywhere, and they're a perfect gift for most occasions. Plus, many companies can send flowers via same-day delivery, so you never have another excuse for missing a birthday. Learn everything you need to know to send flowers long distance.

How to send flowers long-distance

Step 1

The first thing you need to do to be a flower-sending sweetheart is remember those crucial occasions for sending flowers. Pull your calendar off the wall. Look for holidays (Valentine's Day, birthdays, etc.) for which you'd like to send flowers. Then use a pen to mark on your calendar dates one to two weeks before these major days.

Step 2

Go to your local florist and pick out the arrangement you like, either from their floor samples or catalogues. Most florists can deliver flowers anywhere in the U.S

Step 3

Talk to the clerk. Give them the name and address to which you'd like your flowers sent. You can also specify what you'd like the card to say.

Step 4

Pay. Florists belong to networks, so you can pick out your bouquet and pay for it in, say, New York, and an affiliated florist in California (or wherever your relative or lover lives), will assemble and deliver it.
