Floral Garage - Affordable Personalized Bouquets To Your Doorstep

12:03 AM Business, North East

Floral Garage Singapore is one of the leading online florists in Singapore despite being only 4 years old! Their product offerings range from floral arrangements, hampers to party supplies. It began as a family partnership and has now grown into an established business.

Floral Garage provides bouquets suitable for any occasion - birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or just a way for you to show thanks to your loved ones. With the cheapest bouquet being only $17.90, it has a variety of attractive and budget-friendly options to gift your loved ones. They are reasonably priced compared to other florists who impose a hefty surcharge.

If you’re too busy or not sure which bouquet to decide on, you may choose their bestseller, the Freestyle Bouquet, whereby the florist designers will create a unique bouquet for you to suit the style you prefer, occasion, and recipient of the gift. If you are not into conventional bouquet, go for the Delightful Vegetables where you are able to cook and eat the bouquet after gifting your loved ones.

They also offer same day delivery - For $9.70, delivery would be between three timeslots from 10am- 2pm, 1:30pm-5pm, and 5pm-10pm. You may be wondering why they do not make their deliveries free? They believe in honesty and not passing off hidden costs in the product prices. The delivery fees go straight to their drivers. Additionally, the advantage of charging a separate delivery fee is so that you can be sure that you save this amount when you self-collect at their Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre store.

Talking about same day delivery, if you suddenly remembered that you have a date at 8pm and you do not have the time to find a physical flower shop nearby, no worries - Just place your order before 5pm and it will be delivered within their 5pm-10pm timeslot. For $25, they are also able to do delivery at a specific time.

Customization includes choosing even the choice of blooms
for that added brightness to cheer up someone's day...

Besides that, they have recently launched a subscription plan called Flowrendipity. This was created to make the experience of purchasing flowers a lot easier. You can plan ahead to get your flowers delivered, so that you won’t miss any special occasion. Plus, you would be able to save your money by getting extra cash credits as well as getting free delivery for the first few orders.

For the ultimate customized uniqueness, select a fun add-on.

These include chocolates and adorable soft toys...

They are located at one of the most vintage shopping centre in Singapore at 756 Upper Serangoon Road, #03-34, Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre, Singapore 534626.
