Seasonal blooms for bouquets on a budget
Whether you’re buying a floral gift or a floral arrangement for yourself, one of the biggest deciding factors is the price of the bouquet. Not everyone has an almost unlimited budget, and for that reason, we could all use a few tips on how to save money when ordering flowers. One of the most important tips to keep in mind is that you should look for flowers that are in season. Seasonal blooms are not only known for being more affordable, but they can also last longer than imported stems.
Price differences
You may be wondering why there is such a difference in price between flowers that are in season and those that aren’t. Simply put, when flowers are in season in your region, florists can source them from local growers. If they are not in season, the flowers will need to be imported or greenhouse grown. Either way, this drives up the price per stem.
Compare costs
When you really want to save on flowers, make sure you take the time to shop around and compare prices. Now it is also important to compare the size of each bouquet and the types of flowers used. A small arrangement made up of seasonal blooms combined with flowers that are not locally available will be equal to or better than a larger bouquet made up only of seasonal flowers. It is also important to note that florists will often have backup plans in case some flowers are unavailable and can be replaced by other flowers of similar value and appearance.
Discount shopping
In addition to seasonal bouquets, you can also check the flower discounts or offers section at your online florist. Here you can also save on bouquets that don’t include seasonal blooms! You could find the perfect floral gift here and rest assured that these bouquets are held to the same quality standards as the florist’s other arrangements.
Ensuring quality
It should also be noted that bouquets of seasonal blooms aren’t just great if you want to save money. They’re also great if you want bouquets that last and won’t start to fade after a few days. This means that, at the end of the day, you will enjoy excellent value for money.
Remember, sometimes your florist puts together some amazing deals that include a bouquet of seasonal blooms along with something extra for free. When including some fancy chocolates or a pretty vase, keep in mind that your gift will already be complete and you’ll save money by not having to purchase these items separately.
