Las Vegas Florist vs. Online Flower Sites: Who Makes Your Flowers?

The short answer

The big national flower sites are order desks: they take your order and your money, keep a cut, and pass the job to a local shop you never chose. Order direct from a Las Vegas florist and the people whose name is on the door make it — our own designers build your arrangement and our own drivers hand-deliver it.

Our Summerlin storefront — the shop whose name is on the door.

Most "Las Vegas florists" online are order desks

Type "flower delivery Las Vegas" into Google and most of what you see is not a florist. The big national sites are order desks. They take your order and your money, keep a cut, and pass the job to a local shop you never chose, at a price the shop didn't set, from a photo the shop didn't take. Sometimes it works out. You have also probably received the other kind: the arrangement that looks like the photo's distant cousin.

The same order, placed with a local florist

Here is the same order placed with a local florist, ours. You order from Tiger Lily Floral. A designer on our bench, in Las Vegas, makes your arrangement from the stems in our cooler. Our driver, in our vehicle, hand-delivers it, in water, arranged. If something is wrong, you call (702) 737-7077 and the people who made it fix it, under our freshness guarantee.

That is the order we would rather take. Order direct from the people who make it.

Local is not a slogan here. Every Saturday morning, the Las Vegas Farmers Market fills The Pavilion at Downtown Summerlin, the same center as our Summerlin shop, with 80 to 100 local vendors selling what they made and grew.

What Google already figured out

The quiet proof: on Google, for Las Vegas flower searches, those national sites rank far below the local florists. The algorithm figured out what the photos don't tell you.

Why thoughtful senders order direct

Neither model is a scam; one of them is just a middleman, and middlemen get paid out of your flowers. When the occasion matters, order from the shop whose name is on the door. Ours has been on doors in this valley for forty years. Thoughtful senders order direct: tigerlily.com, or (702) 737-7077.

And Henderson, home of our second shop, quietly passed Reno to become Nevada's second-largest city. Local is not the small option anymore. It is the valley itself.
