On a tight budget? There are lots of wonderful flower options for consumers on a budget:

• Ask Vogue’s florists for their specials in your price range and ask about the price of an earlier delivery.
• Consider sending a few stems of something wonderful like roses, tulips or lilies.  Volume isn’t everyting.  Vogue Flowers can make a few stems look romantic and lovely.
• Mixed bouquet of brightly-colored flowers
• Carnations are a great endearing flower full of texture. The bang for your buck is just great and teh vase life is quite long when cared for properly.
• Tulips are a tremendous value flower
• A bud vase with six, three or even a single rose
• Consider flowers in colors other than red, such as peach, orange, hot pink or chartreuse green

• Stargazer lilies or other lilies
• Alstroemeria
• Gerbera daisies
• Blooming plants

Flowers come in so many beautiful colors.  Some POPULAR COLOR TRENDS AND COLOR COMBINATIONS this year include:

• We always think of red for Valentine’s Day, but many other combinations can say “I Love You.” Hot pink and orange for a fresh young look.  Purple is fun in either a monochromatic combination or mixed iwth red, very luscious. Chartreuse and pink is sweet yet crisp.  Orange and red is a powerful, masculine combination.
• Monobotanic design (all one type of flowers)
• Monochromatic design (flowers all in the same color family)
• Reds, burgundies and browns
• Hot pink, purples and browns
• Monochromatic reds in various textures
• Greens mixed with chocolate browns or stunning pinks
