Why 24HrsCityFlorist.com Is Your Go-To Florist?

What makes a good florist? How do florists remain top-of-mind when customers are looking for a reliable florist to cater to their floral needs? Well, we believe the answer is pretty straightforward. All customers want is to have the best bespoke flower buying experience irrespective of the occasion or how much they spend on a floral arrangement. A good florist doesn’t necessarily need to have the biggest shop or the widest international network of professional florists. To us, we strongly believe that in order to uphold the highest standards of floristry and to create designs that are fresh and innovative, the best way is still to take the time to build relationship with our customers, understand their needs and pain points and go the extra mile to help them make their loved ones feel special on all occasions.

It is not uncommon to discover talented florists who are able to design eye-catching, garden-fresh flower bouquets or modern flower arrangements in Singapore these days. Customers are spoilt for choice when shopping for blooms. Many florists and entrepreneurs offer a diverse array of affordable yet tastefully arranged bouquets with same day flower delivery service. Customers can also easily convey to florists the style of floral arrangements they want (e.g. English garden style, bohemian style or even rustic style), indicate what colours to avoid and discuss the symbolism and connotation of flower types when placing an order.

With so many other florists providing the same bare essentials such as convenient online order and responsive delivery service, how does 24Hrs City Florist differentiate our service from the rest of the competition, you might ask? Well, from what our customers have been telling us, the simple reason why they make us their florist of choice is because we care, period.

4. Talented and skillful florists

At 24Hrs City Florist, we believe that motivated and talented employees make up the core of a successful business. We also believe that behind every great company is an amazing team of people. Hence, we decided to include this short feature to shine the spotlight on one of our longest serving employees at 24Hrs City Florist-our florist manager, Daphne Foo! Daphne is not only behind many of the shop’s captivating floral creations but she also handles its day-to-day operations. We caught up with her to hear more about her experience in floristry, what a typical day is like for her and what makes her tick!

24Hrs City Florist: Hi Daphne, thanks for agreeing to an interview! Could you tell us more about your experience in floristry?

Daphne: I have been in the flower industry for more than 9 years. I started working with a bridal gown designer called Dang Bridal way back 2000s and involved with arranging bridal bouquets, bridal car decors & corsages. Thereafter, I joined Far East Flora for 2 years before joining 24Hrs City Florist.

24Hrs City Florist: Why did you pursue a career as a floral designer? And what has your experience working in a floral shop (like 24Hrs City Florist) been like?

Daphne: After working in the United States and graduating from Northern Arizona University, I returned to Singapore looking for a career in a creative field. Floristry at that time wasn’t precisely what I was searching for, but after working with flowers, I fell in love with this industry. I feel happy working with flowers. To me, coming to work in a flower shop is like experiencing flower therapy every day. Of course, the people I’m working with must be good, responsible, friendly, helpful, creative and most importantly fun to be around … and the staffs at 24hrscityflorist.com have all these wonderful qualities!

24Hrs City Florist: What is a typical day in your life as a florist?

Daphne: A typical day for me would very much depend of the orders for that day. I am responsible for the daily operations and have lots of opportunities to create new floral designs for the company.

24Hrs City Florist: Are there any floral designs/arrangements that you’re most proud of?

Daphne: There are simply too many designs I’m most proud of! I particularly like designs which customers challenge us to arrange – particularly quirky character bouquets such as the Minions arrangement, puppy bouquets and even the Easter bunny.

24Hrs City Florist: Where do you get ideas and design inspiration when you’re creating an arrangement?

Daphne: Inspiration comes for a good night’s sleep! But seriously, I’m most inspired by the vast varieties of designs from social media. Most times too, I would like to create something a recipient would love receiving for the right occasion.

24Hrs City Florist: What keeps you motivated and passionate to continue serving the customers that come through the door?

Daphne: I think being in a creative industry, having happy customers particularly customers expressing their gratitude towards our work are rewards in and of itself. I’m always encouraged especially when customers return a good feedback or post our work on their social networking sites. I guess, you can say, they are fuel to my creative engine! 🙂

5. Unique and innovative floral arrangements

We’re one of the few florists in Singapore to create quirky yet adorable character bouquets. Our quest to bring memorable characters to life dates back to 2009 upon request by a customer. Our florists take pride in appreciating different flowers and greens and understand how they are used. We have our own flair that distinguishes our arrangements from other floral shops in Singapore.

Since then, we’ve created over 20 characters from Cookie Monster to Pokeballs! Our handcrafted, contemporary designs are not limited to character bouquets alone. We always keep ahead of the trends to see what floral styles and designs are trending. Whether it may be the boldness of big flowers, Korean style floral wrapping, conical bouquets or mini garden arrangements also as known as ‘Cherish Boxes’. If there’s something our customer wants, we always strive to deliver.
