Valentine's Day Planning Guide for Springfield, Ohio from Schneider'sFlorist

Perfectly Pink, Valentine's day flowers in Springfield, Ohio

This year Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday, making for the perfect opportunity to turn the holiday into a week long extravaganza. How do you do that? If you're like me, you're probably planning your festivities for Friday or Saturday, but when is the best time to send flowers?

My suggestion for this year is to send flowers at the beginning of the week. Why send Valentine's Day flowers early? There are three good reasons. 

First, by ordering early you get the best selection. Don't miss out on sending the perfect flowers by waiting too long. Second, if you're sending flowers to your special someone at work think about how exciting it would be to enjoy the flowers, and think about you, for the entire week. Third, and this is crucial, think about the peace of mind you'll have knowing you took the time to send flowers early.

Luxurious Winter Flowers From Schneider's Florist

If you're like me, there are people in your life that seem to have everything. What do you give them for the holidays? It sounds counter intuitive, but flowers are a great way to send a really nice gift to someone you love without cluttering up their life with another thing that they have to keep forever. With that in mind, I'm sharing a few of our most interesting winter creations for your fancy friends that don't need anything. 

Frosted

White roses, orchids, willow branches, with evergreens and holiday accents. Frosted brings elegance and high design into the home.

Holiday Spirit

An arrangement for winter romance. Holiday Spirit has an unexpected color palate for the season. I like the combination of seeded eucalyptus and evergreen foliage.

Whimsical Wonderland

Mixed metallic colors have been a very popular look this year. Silver, gold, and copper wire with white roses and button mums for a modern twist on the traditional Christmas tree shape. Order Whimsical Wonderland for delivery in Springfield.
