First, avoid ordering flowers online. If you spend 50 bucks online, the florist sees maybe $40 to 45. Right out of the gate your arrangement is 10% to 15% cheaper.
Second, if you have a vase, order a bouquet because more of your money goes to flowers and not the overpriced vases that florists carry. If you dont have a vase or something that can hold water, then let the florist sell you one. Most girls will have something.
Third, do NOT order specific flowers unless you really really have to. Just tell your local florist how much you want to spend. Let them fill it with pretty flowers instead of forcing them to find the last tulip in the back.
Fourth, in many areas Wlmart or Sam's Club may well have fresher flowers than your local florist. My Walmart can get in flowers faster from the regional distributor than my local wholesaler can. Your mileage may vary but I wouldnt just write them off.
Fifth, buy a potted plant and skip fresh flowers. Not only will the symbol of your love not fart out in a week or two and start to rot, but it might actually grow and continue to blossom. You think they're less glamorous now, but thats because you havent seen how many you can buy. My local garden center had a flat of pansies on sale for 8 bucks. You gotta plant them of course--opportunity to earn points with your lady.
