Valentine’s Day is one of the most flower-filled days of the year — and also one of the most chaotic for delivery. Planning ahead can make all the difference. Whether you’re ordering for a spouse, partner, crush, or friend, here’s how to make your floral delivery smooth and meaningful.
1. Order Early
The best arrangements (and delivery windows) sell out fast. Aim to order at least 5–7 days ahead to secure your top choice.
2. Choose Local Delivery
Local florists often deliver fresher flowers faster than national shipping networks. Plus, you’re supporting a small business in your community.
3. Think Beyond Red Roses
Red roses are a classic — but pink tulips, white lilies, and peonies are elegant and just as romantic. Opt for something unexpected if you want to stand out.
4. Add a Thoughtful Touch
Many florists offer Valentine’s add-ons like chocolate boxes, wine, candles, or custom cards. These little extras turn flowers into a full gift experience.
5. Include a Meaningful Message
Your words matter. Even a simple “You mean the world to me” or “Still falling for you” can melt hearts when paired with blooms.
Pro Tip: Schedule delivery for the day before Valentine’s to ensure they arrive on time — especially if Feb 14 falls on a weekday.
