​Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Order Flowers for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is still a couple weeks away, but the best time to order your flowers is right now! Since February 14 is one of the biggest floral holidays of the year, nearly every florist in the country is busy working overtime to prepare for the big day.

But no matter how many flowers are ordered and how many extra delivery drivers are hired, there is only so much time and product to go around, so waiting until the last minute is not a good idea if you want to avoid the headaches of picked-over coolers and limited delivery availability. Some shops even raise the price of roses in the week leading up to Valentines Day since those last-minute flowers cost more from the wholesaler. In other words, there are many advantages or ordering early and not procrastinating.

This special day means different things to different people, but above all else, it’s an opportunity to let those you love and care about know how much they mean to you. To many people, giving a great and meaningful gift on Valentine’s Day isn’t always easy – especially when they’re crunched for time and trying hard to fulfill expectations. On this day of love and romance, the last thing you want to do is disappoint someone who may have been expecting something else, so planning ahead can help alleviate some stress or disappointment.

The most important thing to remember when finding the perfect gift is to not to overthink it or try to do too much. Quality is more important than quantity, and the key here is finding something special and out of the ordinary, to help show the recipient you care enough to go the extra mile. That doesn’t mean you have to go all out and spend tons of money, but it’s easy to distinguish a thoughtful gift from one pieced together with whatever happened to be left in the store – you’re not fooling anybody!

Remember, if it seems too good to be true…it probably is!

There are a lot of enticing offers out there. We’re bombarded with them daily – online, on the radio and especially on television. But don’t let the “incredibly low prices” fool you because they usually tack on extra fees and hidden charges that bring the total cost up to a comparable level with actual flower shops – except they simply ship a box of flowers that you have to assemble yourself. You might end up saving a few bucks by having flowers shipped in a box, but does that gift truly convey how you feel about the recipient? Does it show the thought and attention you put into choosing a special gift, or does it suggest that you panicked and scrambled at the last minute?

There are so many options out there for flowers this Valentine’s Day, but where you buy those flowers makes a big difference. Presentation and visual appeal are the little things that go a long way in making a good bunch of flowers look great.

Having an experienced professional florist by your side – one who personally designs and hand-delivers your flowers – guarantees an outstanding personalized gift for your Valentine, all while making you look good at the same time!
