Flower Arrangements for Valentines Day

Flower Arrangements for Valentines Day

Flower Arrangements for Valentines Day can be expensive. Having worked in the industry, I know it is a common practice to triple the price of certain flowers during this holiday.

Check out these ideas on how to save money and please your sweety.

Florists work furiously to produce hundreds of flower arrangements for Valentines Day under tight time constraints. The quality and prices that you may be used to suffers a bit during this holiday, due to the high demand for certain flowers.

Make Your Own Bouquet Discount Flowers Cheap You can cut costs and make your own flower arrangements for your Valentines Day sweetheart or party that look pricey and elegant but are actually very budget friendly.

Here are the insider's tips for floral arrangements for Valentine's Day:

1. Purchase flowers in bulk from a grocery store, farmers' market, or big box store: Costco, Wal-mart.

2. Avoid red roses, unless you must have them. The price triples during Valentine's week.

3. Take the flowers out of the store wrapping, nothing says cheap! like a barcode!

4. Wrap flowers in red or clear cellophane (transparent gift wrap). You can purchase this wrap from the gift wrap section at a dollar store.

Add Greenery to Your Floral Arrangement

Cheap Valentine Flowers
Add greenery! Store bought bouquets never have enough greenery.

Greenery is what makes a bouquet appear much more expensive.

You can select greenery from your own yard.

Money-Minded Tips
Stick with greenery from bushes that stay green year round and have waxy, thick leaves such as pittoasporum, English laurel, and gardenia leaves.

These will last longer in your bouquet.

5. Purchase a yard of wide satin ribbon, or some other ribbon that looks expensive and fasten a large bow around the cellophane.

6. If you wish to place the flowers in a vase, select an antique vase from a thrift store. This will save you a lot of money. Choose the appropriate size vase for your flowers. The smaller the opening the more full your flowers will look.

7. Add your own greenery (this can be from your yard). This dresses up a bouquet more than you would think! See the box to the right on how important greenery is to making a bouquet look expensive.

8. Remove all the foliage from the lower parts of the stems; there should be no leaves in the vase, only stems.

9. Cut stems short enough to create a full looking bouquet; stems that are left too long will make your arrangement see empty. Add foliage to bare parts of arrangement to give it a full look.

10. Place a homemade Valentine's card in the flowers.
