Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a florals partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

I have been ordering flowers from here for years and am always happy with my purchases. Lori and her staff are always so helpful and make beautiful arrangements every time. Lori is so patient and accommodating with me when I order last minute. I love being able to support a local business when sending my flowers to loved ones in the area. Highly recommend!

I've been a customer here for several years. Living out of state, it's great to have a local option that delivers during special occasions and holidays. The team at Exotica Flowerz is a reliable option each time. The staff consistently puts together fantastic arrangements that always get rave reviews. The staff (Lori in particular) is responsive and communicates changes and updates in a clear and transparent manner. I couldn't recommend this local business enough and will continue supporting them as long as I have family in the Rutland area!

amazing job!! Over the phone Laurie was able to figure out the perfect mix of Birthday and Christmas bouquet. Delivered quickly and brought big smiles to the Birthday girl with her beautiful arrangement. Will use her flowers for any occasion from here on out. Thank you Exotica Flowers-

I ordered online. It was very easy to navigate the options and prices. Everything is GORGEOUS and great prices. I was local but moved away. I ordered for one of my younger sisters for her birthday. The arrangement is simply breathtaking. Worth every penny!!! I strongly recommend. I will definitely order again.

Thank you Lori! Not only is Lori exceptionally talented in what she does, she is also a kind, loving and friendly woman who strives to make her customers happy and the process enjoyable!! Started as business ended in friendship. I am so happy we found Lori’s flower shop in Rutland, VT. Very personable and absolutely nailed the look I was going for! Thank you Lori and all the Exotica Flowerz staff.
