How to choose Valentine's Day bouquets

You might be thinking red for Valentine’s Day flowers. But maybe your love isn’t traditional, or you want to save a little money. Red roses are the most expensive flowers you can buy on Valentine’s Day, but just any red flower might cost you a lot more. So, think outside the box.

• Go with the favorites. Let’s say you know your sweetie’s favorite flower. All tulips, for instance. All different, gorgeous colors.

• If you don’t know her favorite flowers, perhaps you know her favorite color. So get a bouquet that’s uses her favorite color in a number of different kinds of flowers.

• If all else fails, think of spring, and go with a beautiful spring bouquet. Spring is never wrong.

• One more idea, the hand-tied bouquet. It's a unique and portable way to say it with flowers.
