FTD Flower Service
FTD is a seasoned flower delivery service that has been in business for years. At first glance when reviewing their website we get the impression they are going all out in offering a variety of gifts and arrangements for this very special day. They offer a customer favorites section which we really liked. The one dozen long stemmed red roses complete with vase sells for $45.00. They also give you the choice of either upgrading with more stems or downgrading with fewer, and the price is adjusted accordingly. Delivery charges vary depending on the specified delivery day but for a February 14th delivery you can expect to pay anywhere from $10.99-$14.99 depending on where you are sending them to (urban area or country). Of course, if you are a FTD gold member, your shipping charge and service fees will be waived. There are coupons listed on this page, but unfortunately there is no coupon avalaible for this Valentine.
1-800-Flowers
1-800Flowers is another company that has been in business for quite some time. Presently, their home page is devoted to Valentine’s Day gifts and flower arrangements. We like that they offer the option of personalizing your vase when you choose your flower arrangement and you can also save 25% for a limited time if you choose an early delivery for your flowers. We really thought the Enchanted Rose Medley was gorgeous, with prices range from $49.99 to $74.99. This particular bouquet includes 12 stunning roses in an assortment of reds and pinks. It also comes with different options for vases, as well as a box of chocolates which will accompany your bouquet. Delivery charges at 1-800flowers will vary to the destination (urban or country), and preference of delivery day- but we found they typically range from $12.99 to $14.99. The customer should take note that these delivery prices will be specific to whether or not there is a local florist in the area that is affiliated with 1-800-flowers.
FromYouFlowers.com
Youflowers.com is a relative newcomer to the scene of online flower companies. We found that their web home page is very easy to navigate and we like that they offer discount savings of 15% for a site-wide sale and 50% off savings for certain Valentine’s Day orders. Comparable to the other floral sites selling roses for February 14th, if you decide to take advantage of their savings (who wouldn’t?) you can order a magnificent bouquet of 12 deep red roses for only $39.99 (with vase optional) – well worth checking out- delivery charges will vary to destinations around the country but typically range from $8.00-14.99. One note worth mentioning- with same day delivery you can receive 15% off the delivery charge Monday through Friday but if you need a Saturday delivery it will cost you the customary $12.99 for delivery.
ProFlowers.com
ProFlowers.com really puts it all out there on their home page – we found it very busy, yet you can easily make a Valentine’s Day selection for your sweetheart just by perusing only this page. At Proflowers.com we found no incentives or coupons offered. What we did find was one dozen red roses with baby’s breath for a price of $69.99- which we thought was a bit pricey especially since the vase was not included. Not to dispute the fact that these are exceptional roses because the quality appears to be outstanding- we just thought the price was a bit high compared to all the other ones we have reviewed. Most of their floral arrangements for Valentine’s Day fall into a range of $39.99 up to $249.00 – shipping rates are on average with the other floral companies but it might be worth noting that ProFlowers.com delivers internationally which can be an incentive for those sending flowers across the ocean on this Valentine’s Day.
Teleflora.com

Again, delivery charges here will also depend on location of delivery, but typically fall between $10.99 -$14.99. Orders yours today for a chance to win this magnificent necklace worth $15,000!!
Flora2000.com
At first glance, Flora2000.com seems like the flower service to go to if you need to send an arrangement to a destination that is international, as many countries are listed on their homepage. Currently, they are offering a Red Hot Valentine’s Day sale on many of their bouquets which can save the customer up to 40% off if they preorder their flowers for February 14th. Although we found the selection of arrangements exquisite, we have to admit, even with the 40% savings the prices at Flora2000.com do seem a tad higher than most other floral companies. One of the more affordable options is the Red Heat Bouquet that consists of red roses, mini carnations, asters, and gerberas all in deep rich shades of red – with the 20% offer this bouquet is listed for $44.99 – but you’ll also have to tack on $14.99 because that’s what it will cost you for delivery.
FloraFlora.com
Floraflora.com is not only one of the most impressive websites that sells floral arrangements- it also has the most reasonably priced fresh cut flowers we have investigated thus far. Perhaps a reason for their success and exceptional section of flowers is that they have partnered with one of the largest growers of cut fresh flowers in the country. To ensure the vitality and vibrancy of the flowers, they are immediately housed in cool storage until you receive them. The arrangements, the selections, the special offer for only $6.95 on shipping anywhere along with a 15% discount if you use the code – VDAY15 at checkout makes FloraFlora.com one of our favorites choices for valentine’s day flowers. Choosing a bouquet we really liked for Valentine’s Day was a difficult choice, because there are so many gorgeous ones. Even though we did find a dozen red long stem roses for only $35.95 vase optional for $6.95 we choose to highlight the Valentine roses bouquet comprised of the most stunning shades of red, white and pink long stem roses that will certainly wow your sweetheart and they are available for only $33.95, and that’s not including the discount!
JustFlowers.com
JustFlowers.com is another flower service that has been around for awhile 16 years in fact, so they must be doing something right in the competitive market of online floral services. It is privately owned and operated which is always an asset when it comes to customer service. We found many of the arrangements offered for Valentine’s Day pretty comparable to most of the other floral companies. Prices are similarly listed and so are the delivery charges. They do offer a $10 discount off competing retail prices – which means you will always receive the lower price here for any other arrangement you might find offered on the web. They also offer a 10% discount on your next order when you pay for your present order at check out. For those looking to buy a new valentine a little something, send an arrangement from a secret admirer, or even for the thrifty buyer on Valentine’s Day we found a Simple Elegance Valentine bouquet comprised of 3 long stemmed roses complete with vase and a red satin ribbon for only $39.99. A very affordable price!
Overall, the best advice we can give to those who are considering sending flowers on Valentine’s Day is to shop around because the choices available are in abundance. We also recommend you order as soon as you find the arrangement you want… because the longer you wait, chances are, the delivery rates are certain to go up. A few places do offer discounted savings, so you might want to check them out first. Just remember, whichever floral service you choose, as well as the arrangement you decide on won’t be nearly as important as the meaning behind why you are sending them, because nothing will reflect romance more than sending flowers on a day that is devoted to amour!
