Florists in Alexandria, LA

Alexandria has seven florists, more than anywhere else in Rapides Parish. That is enough to compare on style and price rather than taking the first quote, and independent shops differ more on both than their listings suggest. Six list a website; the other takes orders by phone.

Humidity is the enemy of a summer arrangement here, more than heat. Flowers hold far better in an air-conditioned room than a screened porch, and anything delivered outdoors should be brought in straight away. Tropicals and foliage cope with the conditions better than soft-stemmed garden flowers.
