A savvy bride wrote a review about Dorsey Floral and it piqued my interest so I thought I would write more about it. When I asked her about her experience using Dorsey Floral she had nothing but great things to say about them. She said she had wanted to have calla lilies but was told by various florists that they were out of season and would be expensive to order. As she wanted very simple bouquets she thought to use Dorsey Floral to order the flowers in and make them herself. She did say that as a nervous bride she probably called them a little too often making sure that the delivery would arrive. It was an interesting point as florists have pointed out to me in the past that part of the reason that flowers cost more for weddings than other events is the extra time that they have to spend on the multiple phone calls and other miscellaneous bride requests. However, if you are a low key bride and just want to order a shipment of flowers to do it yourself this company might be a great way to keep costs low on your flower budget.
Dorsey Floral – NOW OUT OF BUSINESS
Do you know if Dorsey Floral is still in business? I’d tried to contact them and the phone number has been disconnected. I tried to contact them through the website as well so we’ll see!
Hello, thank you for the kind words, it is greatly appreciated. Dorsey Floral is in fact no longer in business. After 20 years in the floral industry I decided to pursue other interests.
I would recommend contacting a “Wholesale” florist in your area. Be upfront and let them know what you like. Ask them what is the best times to contact them. I would also recommend researching as much as you can about the product you wish to have. Knowledge is key. Be open to other flowers. If you can try to visit the wholesaler (ask them when is the best time) and see the flowers they have. Lastly remember that a wholesale florist cannot take the place of a retail florist. Perhaps a combination of the two would be best. You purchase all of your flowers and then provide them to a designer. Good luck to you all.
Regards,
Mark Dorsey
