Valentine's Day Blues



Another Valentines Day is just around the corner. The looming decision of how you are going to impress your loved one this "Hallmark Holiday". Just an excuse to make you spend all your hard earned money on "flowers that wont last".

Lets review why people have such a negative perception of Valentines Day. Probably the biggest reason is the poor quality of past purchases. When I find those with a negative opinion on flowers I often find they have purchased them from a gas station or grocery store. Those tired blooms suffer from poor quality control and will never be a good value for your money.
Your best bet... Your local florist! This will guarantee that your flowers will be properly cared for throughout their travels. Changing the water every other day and keeping the stems cut will also help to extend the life of your flowers.

Another reason people are down on V-day is boredom. The same dozen roses with baby's breath and a box of chocolates is a little overplayed if you ask me. Try a dozen pink tulips instead! or a more contemporary pave design. We have tons of ideas for making your Valentines flowers unique and beautiful.

We must remember the true purpose for giving flowers on Valentines Day is to express your love to someone and to make the recipient happy! Whether it is the first time someone has received flowers or the fiftieth, if you choose Belli Fiori the recipient will be thrilled!
