5 Great Ways to Save on Valentine's Day Flowers

It happens every year.

Every year in the 20 years I've been in the flower business.

Prices go up.

Big time.

Costs go up right from the farmer to the wholesaler to the retailer, and ultimately to our customers.

To help our customers, I've come up with 5 ways to save money on Valentine's Day flowers:

1. Avoid red roses. Go with pink roses or yellow roses instead. The price increase will not be nearly as high.
2. Avoid red "anything". Red roses, red carnations, red gerbera daisies...everything red goes up drastically.
3. Send a mixed flower arrangement. Maybe a couple of red roses, together with fragrant lilies, asters and greenery results in a stunning visual arrangement at a lower cost.
4. Order online. I encourage customers to order online, and even provide a price break on online flower orders of $5.00 to $10.00. It's much faster for us to process an online order compared to a phone order. We pass the labour savings on to you.
5. Order early. Valentine's Day flower deliveries are 5 to 6 times that of a regular business day.. There are only so many flowers, designers, and delivery drivers available. I've had last minute customers offer $50 for delivery if we could just get something delivered. But that's hard to do, when there are no flowers left.
