Why Buying Direct Supports Your Local Community

Real florists, real community, real service

When you buy flowers directly from a real local florist, you’re doing far more than ordering a bouquet. You are supporting a small business at the heart of your community. Behind every handcrafted arrangement is a local team who care deeply about quality, creativity and personal service. These florists are the people who provide work for local drivers, source from local growers when possible, and keep the high street alive.

Many national flower websites operate differently. They often act as middlemen, taking a large share of the customer’s payment before passing the order on to a florist with a reduced budget. The result is less money for the florist, fewer resources to create a full bouquet and less investment back into the local area. It’s a system that helps big companies while quietly draining small communities.

Buying direct changes everything. When you shop through We Are Florists, every order goes straight to a real florist near the delivery location. They receive 100% of the order value, meaning more money stays in the local economy. That supports jobs, keeps independent businesses trading and ensures florists can continue offering the high standard of service that shoppers rely on.

Local florists also bring something unique: genuine care. They know their customers, remember families across generations and take pride in designing flowers that feel meaningful. That level of attention can never come from a warehouse or courier service. Direct delivery ensures your bouquet is made fresh, delivered personally and arranged by someone who loves what they do.

Every time you choose a real florist, you help strengthen your community. You support local skills, preserve the character of the high street and ensure independent businesses can thrive. It’s a simple choice that makes a real difference.

For flowers that truly support your community, buy direct from a real local florist.
