***Full dis-closer, We do provide wire service with FTD****

So we found this very interesting and here at Welkes we thought we could not let this go without commenting.  Like we have said in other posts we don’t discriminate against anyone who decides to use these big national chains to order flower, but you have to ask yourself at what cost do you use these companies. We have made it so easy to order flowers at Welkes.com, and one of the greatest things about ordering through Welkes.com or calling us directly at 414.442.8640 is that you are talking to a customer service agent who will be directly handling your arrangement and I think there is a lot to be said for that. With that being said Welke’s take great pride in taking care of all arrangement regardless of where we get the order from (FTD, Teleflora etc…), but we know that by contacting Welke’s House of Roses directly we SPECIFICALLY know how to help you.  So we will get off our soap box now and regardless of who you choose to order your flower through….JUST ORDER FLOWERS…LOCALLY!!

Here at Welke’s we are definitely not haters. We applaud hard work and all the success that comes with it, but when I saw the picture above my jaw dropped. Here at Welke’s House of Rose we have GREAT pride in taking care of every customer’s flower needs and to see all of those flowers boxed and just thrown in a heap really hurts my heart. I would feel awful if I knew one of our customers received service like that. If you feel like going thru one of these companies feel free, that’s your prerogative.  Seeing this makes me so happy to work for a family owned and operated company who takes great pleasure in providing wonder flower arrangements to everyone in Milwaukee and its surrounding areas. Thank you to all those who chose Welke’s House of Rose this Valentine’s Day.  We appreciate every last person!!!!

Here at Welke’s we are in the season of love(…cough, cough…VALENTINES DAY IS TUESDAY!!!) and our thoughts and prayers go out Whitney Houston’s family and friends. Its a sad day for a lot of us here who grew up on her music and watching her movies. She will truly be missed!! BELOW IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL TIMES!!!

Look I’ve been there, I think I have given a couple Snuggie’s in my day. Now is the time for change and Valentines Day is the day I change. Don’t be that guy who’s wife has to tell all her co works ” Oh, he didn’t sent flowers because we are going out to dinner” when we all know it’s left overs for everyone. DON’T DO IT PEOPLE…. What happened to chivalry? Lets show our lovers we can be impressive, we can be stunning, WE CAN BE A CASANOVA!!! Call Welke’s House of Roses, the Valentine’s Day Experts for help.
