Wedding flowers available straight from Dutch flower auction

January 21, 2010

A growing group of British couples decide to do their own flowers for their wedding. The knowledge about flowers and how to treat them has increased, especially because of the use of information available on the internet. Doing your own flowers can save a lot of money too, since it’s now possible to cut out the middle man and get flowers straight from the Dutch flower auction.

For this reason Dutch flower company Delft International opened up their website Flowers4Florists for individuals too. Now it’s possible to order flowers straight from the Dutch auction and have them delivered right to your doorstep. Since the delivery to the UK takes only one day, the flowers are just one day old on the day of delivery: they are bought at the Dutch flower auction in the morning, shipped out in the afternoon and delivered the following day. This makes a huge difference with local markets and even wholesalers. Frits Bleichrodt, manager of Flowers4Florists, says a lot of time is spent on making the site easy to use: “It’s important that it’s clear for every visitor what the purpose of the site is, and what kind of service we deliver. A straightforward ordering process and clear information complete our goals for the website.”

The past wedding season numerous couples ordered through the website and arranged their flowers themselves. The quality of the flowers is excellent and the quantity given for the low prices is huge. Next to that, the process of choosing flowers and arranging them is experienced as a lot of fun. Sylvia Boev, one of the clients, says the following: “I had a huge amount of exotic flowers for a fraction of the price UK florists were quoting me. I had a lot of fun doing the flowers and my bouquet with my mum and grandma which made the wedding preparations very enjoyable and special. The flowers were amazing and lasted for ages.”

Delft International is a flower company based in Rijnsburg at the Dutch flower auction. The Company is a leading supplier in the field of cut flowers and distinguishes itself by a personal and customer-aimed service and a high degree of automation. All this helps the company to offer their customers a high quality and a speedy and correct delivery. Delft specializes in custom packs and wedding orders. For that reason the customer service is important as well. “We are easy to reach and have a lot of contact with our clients. Not all clients are professionals with flowers, so we try to inform and advise them wherever we can. The information given by our clients results in a better website as well, since we get tips and suggestions for improvement and we take these suggestions seriously”, says Sander van Rootselaar, Project Manager of Flowers4Florists.com.
