Roses are synonymous with Valentine’s Day – but we would like to suggest that they don’t have to be a commonplace gift for this special holiday of love. There are so many beautiful flowers that we enjoy every day that can also become the centerpiece to your Valentine’s Day bouquet or Valentine’s Day flower arrangement. Valentine Hugs Our talented floral design team has decided to incorporate the idea of affection in this year’s Valentine’s Day collection. And, beyond the kiss, hugs are pretty special, too. They work for family, friends, kids, and even some colleagues.   The Allen’s Flowers and Plants Valentine Hugs bouquet would be a nice addition to hugs on Valentine’s Day. Our lovely Valentine Hugs arrangement is many things and offers a way to enjoy a wide range of nature’s beauty. First, it includes our beautiful white daisy spray chrysanthemums. Second, they are complemented by fresh and vibrant red and pink carnations and, of course, our lovely line of red roses. Third, all of these beautiful flowers are hand arranged and placed into a very lovely red vase for viewing pleasure. It offers a way to create some special magic this Valentine’s Day by giving your loved one a unique flower arrangement that goes beyond the tried and true red rose bouquet. Remember that, at Allen’s Flowers and Plants, all of our flowers and plants undergo an inspection upon arrival. And, before being arranged by our professional staff, any and all flowers that do not meet our high standards are then tossed. We believe in holding our farmers to the same standards our customers hold us. This is why our arrangements, bouquets, and plants are always of the freshest quality. The result is that our flowers and bouquets [...]

This Valentine’s Day, we encourage you to hold nothing back. Show you partner your very best and let them know just how much they mean to you on the most romantic day of the year with a Valentine’s Day strategy that says, “I Love You,” in four amazing ways. Stocked and ready for the already high demand with Valentine’s Day rose and bouquet orders pouring in, here are some tips on the best romantic strategies for this Valentine’s Day. The Romance The Romantic floral bouquet is really quite a sight with a beautiful arrangement of high-quality, fresh flowers and greenery not to mention the gorgeous presentation. Romance does come in other forms as well, so be sure that everything you plan – from the restaurant or show to the gift focuses on what you know your partner likes the best. Also, be sure to do extra things for them like helping out or treating them to a new outfit and afternoon at the salon to make them feel their very best.   The Flowers Flowers are a central strategy on Valentine’s Day. While there are the traditional roses, you can also think about another flower that your partner loves. Maybe they admire orchids are captivated by tulips. Incorporate those in your Valentine’s Day bouquet or make an arrangement that just features that special type of flower.  Perhaps your partner doesn’t like flowers, so you can consider a stunning green plant or basket garden. The Chocolate With some of our arrangements, we have included chocolate because let’s face it, who doesn’t like chocolate? The delightful chocolate that comes in The Romantic bouquet is none other than world-famous Godiva. It is an 18-piece Godiva Chocolate box filled with luxurious and mouthwatering treats that [...]
