And then they get upset when they learn that the cost of some flowers are a bit higher at that time. You must realize that the floral market operates on the law of supply and demand. If some flower prices are a bit higher, it simply reflects the fact that not only you, but also everyone else is anxious to buy product, and the market is reacting accordingly. This constant price fluctuation is challenging for florists. Don't let that alarm you.
Most florists are pretty decent people who want to help their customers meet their needs.
They will have a variety of options in a wide range of prices. But you have to communicate clearly what your desires are. If you shop around and come across prices that seem too good to be true, it could very well reflect that quality difference. Don't wait until the last minute on the 14th to make your purchases. Your loved ones won't get angry if you give them flowers a day or so in advance, and you can make it easier on both yourself and your florist if you buy a little before the holiday.
