Valentine's Day is Monday, February 14th! Flowers & Valentine’s Day go hand in hand. Your Valentine will be so thrilled to receive a beautiful flower arrangement! Of course, Roses are known for their association with love. They are available in many colors and can create quite an impressive presentation. For a really impressive arrangement, send a 2 or 3 dozen rose arrangement, WOW!
If you want to send flowers, but are seeking something a little different than roses, florists can provide many options. You may choose to send a mixed arrangement containing a variety of flowers. You may choose a tall vase of all Calla Lilies or Tulips. You may also decide to send a flower basket or blooming plant.
Men like flowers too! Consider an elegant vase of all white flowers for the special man in your life. Men are also drawn to vibrant flowers in reds & blues. Even the manliest of men appreciate the beauty of flowers.
Your local florist can also provide Gourmet Gift Baskets for Valentine’s Day delivery. What a treat to receive a beautiful basket full of delicious chocolates, coffees, teas, snacks, etc. Gift Baskets can also contain bubble baths, lotions, candles. Ask your local florist for specific contents available for gift baskets.
Don’t forget that you can also add "Special Touches" to your arrangement. Plush Animals and Mylar/Latex Balloons are popular additions to a floral arrangement or gift basket.
Your local florist can add a personalized message to your gift. Flowers are the ultimate expression of love, and your message can tell your Valentine exactly how you feel about them! It is suggested to order your flowers in advance (a week ahead) of this busy holiday to ensure best selection and timely delivery.
Remember, to get the best value when purchasing flowers, you should always call a real local florist. "Order Takers" charge you a fee to process your order. Often a portion of your money is absorbed by these "Order Takers", decreasing the value of your arrangement! By dealing with a florist directly, you get a better value & professional service!
