Atlanta, GA, February 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Valentine's Day flowers are seen as a way of professing your love. Here are a few tips to profess your love without breaking the bank.
Don't Go for Red.
Flowers are seasonal. Many times consumers don't realize this. Many times prices are based on demand. So the same flower that might cost less in autumn will and can cost three times more in the spring. Floral designers must pay the cost of their wholesale suppliers which can change with a rise in gas prices or bad weather for the original growers. Red in February is the ticket item. So whether your florist wants to charge more or not they generally have to in order to break even.
Order what is in season.
Seasonal flowers, not including roses, are usually a little cheaper, unless you are working with an expert designer. Tulips are cheaper in the spring, as that is their season.
Think out of the box.
Order something besides roses. Consider your loved ones personality. If they are quirky and out going maybe order something less traditional with texture like the gerbera daisy. If they are chic and cosmopolitan, maybe a contemporary arrangement with exotic greens and a calm feeling.
