Be careful when buying flowers. A large arrangement is not necessarily better than a smaller one that's well put together and tastefully adorned.
For example, a bouquet containing only 25 large roses and 10 spray roses is beautiful, tasteful and looks more impressive, while the bouquet of a dozen roses filled with greenery is decent, but looks empty and pale in comparison, despite the fact that its pricier than the first! The latter is what most women will receive. We suggest you stand out from the crowd and go for less green. Back to Index
A Word on Giving Roses
If your lady is a stickler for roses, consider varying the color of rose you choose. Aside from being predictable, red roses are often harder to get (and more expensive) around popular flower-giving times of the year. Why follow the herd? Roses come in a variety of cool colors, and look far more dramatic in orange or white. Consider choosing your ladys favorite. Back to Index
Alternatively, choose a color that "communicates" for you. It wont surprise you to hear that the clever rose-marketing people (actually, rose enthusiasts) have assigned "meanings" to gifts of various rose colors. Choose the color that matches your message. Back to Index
