How to have perfect flowers for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year when your sweetheart can look forward to receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Although the gifting of flowers as a token of love and gesture of romance has been popular for thousands of years, not everyone knows how to get the best flowers for Valentine’s Day.
Make sure they are fresh flowers
At Court Florist we only use the freshest of flowers from local Canterbury markets and growers for our bouquets and arrangements; however, this does not mean all florists do. How do you check the freshness of flowers? Gently feel where the petal meets the stem – if its nice and firm, the flowers are fresh.
Order Valentine’s Day flowers from a local florist
A great benefit of the internet means you can order the best online flowers for Valentine’s Day; however, always double check you are ordering flowers through an independent local florist. This way your bouquet is created by someone who has a reputation to uphold and who will take great loving care – rather than a faceless company. Plus, it means your flowers will only be in transit a short amount of time – no wilting on our watch.

Seek inspiration
There is no doubt that red roses are synonymous with romance and Valentine’s Day, but that does not mean you shouldn’t explore other floral options. Does your partner have a favourite flower? Or love a particular scent or fragrance? Romance is not limited to roses; think outside of the box as there are many different types of Valentine’s Day flowers you can choose. For ideas and inspiration, please call Court Florist or drop by, and we can have a chat.
Be allergy aware
While everyone enjoys receiving fresh flowers, not everyone can tolerate the pollen on some heady blooms. If your loved one suffers from hay fever or allergies, please contact Court Florist directly. We’ll be able to create the perfect Valentine’s Day flowers to make your partner smile, not sneeze. Or perhaps they would prefer a non-floral Valentine’s Day gift? Gift hampers (Christchurch delivery) are always an appreciated alternative.
Be extra thoughtful
Court Florist create the most beautiful floral bouquets. Whether your preferred style is traditional or contemporary, we guarantee your loved one will adore their Valentine’s Day flowers. But for the extra touch of romance? Have a really good think about what you want the delivery message to say – this is your opportunity to be emotional, open and honest, so tell them how you feel.
