Questions

When should I order Valentine's flowers?

A week before is ideal, and at least three days before at the latest. Prices rise as the date gets closer.

Do I have to send red roses?

No. Pink, blush, white, or a seasonal mix feel more personal. Red is classic, but not required.

Is it cheaper to order early?

Usually yes. Several services add a surcharge for delivery on the 14th itself.
