Valentine's Day Information 2023

We encourage all our customers to place a Valentine's Day order before February 10. If you place an order after this date we cannot guarantee a delivery on February 14. A flower order placed after February 10 may result in a delivery either on the 15th, 16th or as late as the 17th of February due to demand for flowers in this very busy week.

Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color.

Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the Europe. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. 

Flowers may not be available/limited due to inventory supplies during the Valentines holiday. However, we will make every effort to ensure substitutions are equal in value and style.
