Mobile app for a flower delivery service

We run a small flower delivery business and want to move our orders from phone calls and chat messages into a proper mobile application for iOS and Android. The core of the app is a bright, well-photographed catalog of bouquets and gift sets that a customer can browse by occasion, color and price. From a product page the buyer adds items to a cart, picks a delivery date and a time window, and pays inside the app.

Two details make this project special for us. First, almost every order carries a greeting card: the buyer should type a short message and choose a card style, and that text must reach our florist and print correctly. Second, people who send flowers are nervous until they know the bouquet arrived, so a clear order status with a few honest stages and a push notification on delivery is essential. We also need a simple admin side to manage the catalog, prices and availability, because seasonal flowers come and go quickly.

Please share apps you have shipped to the stores, your approach to payments and to storing personal data of recipients, and a realistic timeline. We prefer a clean, warm design over heavy animation, and we value a developer who asks questions before writing code.
