Don’t Give Your Loved One Boxed Flowers on Valentine’s Day!

There are many reasons why it does not make sense to opt for those flower shops or online florists that deliver their bouquets and flower arrangements in boxes: The jaw-dropping presentation is lost when flowers are wrapped in a box and often damage the flowers. Boxed flowers are never as fresh because they are not placed in an environment that is conducive for keeping them look their best for as long as possible. You don’t really want your loved one arranging their own gift of flowers. They are not designers and probably don’t want to be either. Instead, you want your loved one to open their door or step out of their cubicle and see theme speechless at the extraordinary look of hand-arranged, hand delivered flower arrangements for Valentine’s Day. The flowers look amazing and have been cut and arranged in a way that illustrates how artistic flower arrangements can be plus they are fresh and undamaged.
