Don't forget the flowers! 10 beautiful (and affordable) bouquets that'll get there by Valentine's Day
Receiving a bouquet of flowers is a treat. Flowers brighten homes as well as moods, and even tending to them—a trim here, a snip there—feels calming. So this Valentine’s Day, send some flower power. It’s minimal effort on your part—just browse and click—and to make it even easier we rounded up 10 gorgeous selections. It used to be that only a few online retailers sold flowers—now there’s a bunch (he he), and many offer free shipping. Plus you’ll find alternatives to the classic bouquet, too, like a red rose that’ll live on forever, and a mini succulent medley. Whether it’s for your best bud (get it?), your mum (again!), or a significant other, we rose to the occasion to find you the best blooms around.
This adorable glass cube houses a perfect mix: Red roses, carnations, and alstroemeria play beautifully with white cushion spray chrysanthemums, pitta negra, seeded eucalyptus, and lemon leaf.
