Other Swindon florists
Other florists operate in and around Swindon. For 14th February, order a few days in advance and say it is for Valentine's so they can plan stock and delivery.
What to look for when buying Valentine's flowers
- Freshness: Firm stems, green leaves (not yellow or slimy), and petals that are not bruised or browning at the edges.
- Local: Swindon florists can source seasonal British flowers and create bespoke bouquets. Often better quality and longevity than many supermarket bunches.
- Meaningful choices: Red roses for romance; mixed bouquets for something less cliched; tulips or seasonal blooms if you want variety.
What to avoid
- Last-minute supermarket bunches: Often past their best by 14th February. Book with a florist or order in advance for better quality.
- Overpriced "Valentine" packs: Same flowers in different packaging can cost much more. Compare with a normal bouquet or mixed arrangement.
- Ignoring preferences: If they have said they do not like roses or prefer plants over cut flowers, choose something else.
