Reason #2: More Affordable Wedding Flowers |
|
Ashley Watson Wedding
|
| |
| Bridesign.com allows Internet-Savy brides to use the power of the Internet and the reliability of FedEx to bypass the middleman and go direct to the flower fields of Colombia. |
| |
| Brides save 30% on average over using a typical florist. |
| |
| In all probability, any wedding flowers provided by a local florist would originate from South America. Now brides can buy them direct. |
| |
| Located on the equator, Colombia has the most sunlight and most ideal, fertile conditions for growing flowers in the world. |
| |
In fact, in 2006, 67% of flowers sold in the U.S. were imported.
More than half of the imported flowers sold in the U.S. came from the flower fields of Colombia.* |
| |
| In 2007, 72% of the roses sold in the U.S. came from Colombia.* |

Reason #3: Fresher Wedding Flowers |
| |
| With Bridesign.com, a brides flowers are cut from the flower fields of Colombia specifically to fulfill her order and timed for maximum beauty on her wedding day. |
| |
| With Bridesign.com, from the moment the flowers are cut they are kept hydrated. This includes using specially designed flower buckets in the flower fields, using water-filled vases during hand-crafting of arrangements, and even shipping the flowers in water tubes and sponge-wrapped bags. |
| |
| There isn’t a moment a Bridesign.com flower isn’t being nourished with water. This contrasts greatly with most flowers that are shipped in stacks by wholesalers to florists via truck. |
| |
| Because Bridesign.com sends flower arrangements directly via FedEx in a specially designed flower box, this also cuts out the shipping days to the middlemen like flower wholesalers and retail florists. |
| |
| With a traditional florist, the average wedding flower is 10-days old on your wedding day from cutting. (2 days for preparation and shipping from South America to Miami; 5 days transit to wholesalers via truck; 3 days for a florist to create arrangements and deliver them to the wedding). |
| |
| With Bridesign.com, the average wedding flower is 7-days old on your wedding day from cutting, meaning your flowers are now 30% fresher. (2 days for creating the arrangement in Colombia, 3 days for direct shipping via Fedex, and flowers arrive 2 days before the wedding so the bride can inspect them). |
| |
| This extra freshness is why Bridesign.com recommends using the flower arrangements for your rehearsal dinner as well as for your wedding day. You can count on Bridesign.com flowers to be fresher and better hydrated. |

Reason #4: Completely Pre-Assembled Arrangements that are Ready to Go |
|
Midalys Albornoz Wedding
|
| |
| Bridesign.com is the only Internet provider of wedding flowers that are completely assembled and ready to go out of the box. |
| |
| Other Internet companies provide flowers in bulk for you to make your own arrangements. Bridesign.com does not recommend this because you already have enough to worry about right before your wedding. Also, expert floral craftsmen can create more beautiful bouquets for you to choose from. |
| |
| Bridesign flower artisans handcraft each wedding bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, wedding centerpiece, and church pew holders. |
| |
| Bridesign.com’s professional floral designers travel the world in search of innovative and artistic arrangement ideas to ensure that they are sophisticated and contemporary. |

Reason #5: Shipped to the Destination of Your Choosing |
|
Cristy Nashvillenhl Wedding
|
| |
| Most brides have the flowers shipped directly to their home. |
| |
| However, Bridesign.com is also a favorite for bride’s planning destination weddings as they may feel less comfortable choosing a local florist. |
| |
| And, Bridesign.com is a favorite for military personnel who may be redeployed before their wedding date and require the flowers to be shipped to another location in the final week. |

| Brides can take additional satisfaction knowing that their wedding is helping women in Colombia by providing skilled floral designer jobs in this emerging market. |
| |
| 90% of Bridesign.com’s workforce in Colombia is women, the majority of which are the largest income earner in their family. |
| |
| All Bridesign.com employees are limited to working 46.5 hours a week (fewer hours than the Colombian standard), receive disability compensation, receive a pension, and receive health insurance benefits in accordance with the law. |
| |
| Additionally, there is a school and free child care located on 370 acres of flower fields. |
| |
