Quick answer

Book Valentine's Day flowers as early as possible — ideally a week or more ahead — since it is our highest-demand day and popular options like red roses can sell out closer to the date.

Valentine's Day is consistently our busiest day of the year, which means both demand and delivery schedules are tighter than usual. Ordering early makes a real difference.

Why booking early matters

Because so many orders come in around the same one or two days, popular choices — especially red roses — can sell out, and delivery slots fill up quickly. Ordering a week or more ahead gives you the best chance of getting exactly what you want, delivered at the time you want.

What to order

Red roses remain the classic choice, but a mixed arrangement in reds and blush tones, or a vase arrangement that doesn't require the recipient to find a vase, are also popular and slightly less generic options.

Delivering to a workplace

If you're delivering to an office, let us know, since many offices get a high volume of Valentine's Day deliveries and a bit of extra coordination (recipient name, floor, reception details) helps things go smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

How early should I order for Valentine's Day?

We recommend booking at least a week ahead where possible. Last-minute orders are sometimes still possible, but availability and choice narrow considerably closer to the date.
