flower delivery valentines day guide to getting it right

Plan ahead for smooth surprises

Valentine’s week gets busy fast, so place your order early and confirm the recipient’s availability. Many florists set cutoffs or adjust routes; weather and traffic can add delays. Choosing a delivery window and a clear drop-off note reduces last-minute stress and keeps the moment special.

What to order and why

Classic red roses still charm, but tulips, ranunculus, and orchids feel fresh and often last longer. Think about color: soft pinks whisper romance, while bold jewel tones feel modern. If scent matters, pick fragrant stems and request a water source or vase to protect blooms.

• Verify address details and building access codes.
• Ask about substitution policies for out-of-stock stems.
• Choose a sturdy vase for office deliveries.
• Add chocolates or a handwritten card for warmth.
• Opt for seasonal, local flowers to boost freshness.

Delivery day smarts

Confirm the route, keep your phone handy, and request a photo on delivery. A short, sincere message-specific and personal-means more than clichés. With a bit of planning and thoughtful choices, your gift feels effortless, timely, and unmistakably heartfelt.
