Valentine's Day Flowers 2027: Order Early and Save
Valentine's Day is the busiest day of the year for florists, and almost everyone knows it. Still, a large share of orders arrive in the last 48 hours. By then, the most popular designs are limited, delivery windows are full and the calm planning you could have done becomes a scramble.
The good news is that a little planning changes everything. This guide explains what is special about Valentine's Day 2027, why prices rise, how ordering early helps and exactly when to order. If you already know what you want, our Valentine's Day flowers collection is open for early orders.
What is different about Valentine's Day 2027?
In 2027, February 14 falls on a Sunday. That changes how people send flowers:
- No office deliveries on the day itself. Most workplaces are closed on Sunday, so anyone who wanted the flowers delivered at work needs to plan for Friday, February 12.
- A full Valentine's weekend. Many couples celebrate on Friday or Saturday night, so demand spreads across three days.
- Sunday morning surprises. Home deliveries on Sunday morning become very popular, and early windows fill first.
- Restaurant reservations on Saturday. Flowers delivered Saturday afternoon set the mood before dinner.
We deliver every day, including Sunday, from 8 AM to 8 PM, so all three days are available.
Why do roses cost more around Valentine's Day?
Red roses are in demand everywhere in the world in the same week. Growers plan their crop months in advance, pinching back plants so they bloom right before February 14, and they sell the most stems they will sell all year. A few things drive the cost:
- Demand spikes in one week. The same flower everyone wants, all at once.
- Growers' costs go up. Extra labor, extra shipping and extra air freight in the weeks before the holiday.
- Premium stems are limited. Long-stem, large-head red roses are the first to sell out.
- Florists add staff. More designers and drivers are needed for a few days.
This is why roses usually cost more in early February than in October or January. Ordering early does not change wholesale prices, but it guarantees you get the design and window you want before choices narrow.

The benefits of ordering early
"Order early" sounds like a florist's sales line, but the benefits are practical and real:
- Your choice of design. Popular arrangements and colors are limited by the number of premium stems we receive.
- Your choice of delivery window. Morning windows on February 14 are the first to fill.
- Your card written calmly. You have time to write a message you are proud of.
- No last-minute stress. One less thing to remember on a busy week.
- Room for special requests. Particular colors, a specific number of roses or an add-on like strawberries.
When to order Valentine's flowers for 2027
Here is a simple timeline you can follow:
- Now through mid-January: browse and decide on a style. You can order anytime.
- By January 31: the best time to place your order. All designs and windows available.
- February 1 to 7: still a good time; some premium designs may begin to fill.
- February 8 to 11: order as soon as possible; morning windows on February 14 may be limited.
- February 12 to 14: same-day orders are still possible if you order by 2 PM, but choice is narrower.
Set a reminder now. Our post on never forgetting important dates has a simple system that works for Valentine's Day too.
Friday, Saturday or Sunday: which delivery day to pick
Because February 14 is a Sunday, you have three good options.
Friday, February 12
Best if you want the flowers at work, where coworkers will see them. Choose a morning window, because many people leave early on a Friday before a holiday weekend. Flowers delivered on Friday will still look fresh on Sunday and well into the following week.
Saturday, February 13
Perfect for a dinner date on Saturday night or for a weekend surprise at home. Windows are usually more flexible than Sunday.
Sunday, February 14
The traditional choice, and the most romantic. Reserve a time early, especially if you want a morning delivery to start the day.
Beyond red roses: Valentine's alternatives
Red roses are the classic, but they are not the only answer. If your partner prefers something different, or you want to stand out, consider:
- Pink roses or a pink mixed bouquet: romantic and soft. See what rose colors mean.
- Tulips: cheerful and in season in February.
- Ranunculus: layered petals, very romantic, at peak in February.
- Orchids: elegant and long-lasting.
- Ramo buchón: a dense, dramatic rose bouquet with ribbons and accents. Learn more in our ramos buchones collection.
Valentine's flowers for every relationship
Valentine's Day is not only for couples. More and more people send flowers to friends, moms, daughters and even themselves.
- New relationship: a small bouquet of $39 to $69 keeps things light.
- Long-term partner: a dozen roses or 24 roses with a personal card.
- Spouse: 24 roses, a luxury arrangement or roses with strawberries.
- Mom or grandma: pink or mixed flowers, a sweet "Galentine's" gesture.
- Friends: tulips or spray roses with a playful card.
- Yourself: a dozen roses you pick out just because.
What to write on a Valentine's card
Every FlowerEase order includes a free handwritten card up to 200 characters. A few examples:
- "Every day with you is my favorite. Happy Valentine's Day."
- "Still the best decision I ever made. Love you."
- "To a weekend of us. See you at dinner."
- "Thank you for making ordinary days feel like this."
Specific details from your relationship always beat clichés. More ideas in our flower card guide.
How FlowerEase handles Valentine's delivery
Our Irvine studio prepares for Valentine's weeks in advance. Every arrangement is designed fresh, photographed before it leaves the studio and delivered across Irvine and Orange County from 8 AM to 8 PM. Order by 2 PM for same-day delivery, even on February 14, though we strongly recommend ordering earlier for the best choice.
How to plan the whole Valentine's weekend
With Valentine's Day on a Sunday, many couples turn it into a three-day celebration. Flowers can anchor the plan instead of being an afterthought. Here is a simple way to structure it:
- Friday, February 12: a small bouquet delivered to the office in the morning, around $39 to $69. It starts the weekend and gives coworkers something to talk about.
- Saturday, February 13: dinner reservation, booked by mid-January. Restaurants fill quickly on the Saturday before a Sunday Valentine's Day.
- Sunday, February 14: the main gift delivered to your home in a morning window: a dozen roses, 24 roses or a hat box, with a handwritten card.
You do not have to do all three. But if you only choose one, choose the delivery your partner will enjoy the most. Some people love public attention at work, others prefer a quiet surprise at home on a lazy Sunday morning.
How long will Valentine's flowers last?
A common worry with ordering ahead is that the flowers will fade before the day. Ordering early does not mean early delivery: you choose the date, and we design the arrangement fresh the day it goes out. Once delivered, roses usually last 7 to 10 days with clean water and a fresh cut every two days, and every arrangement is covered by our 7-day freshness guarantee. If you choose Friday delivery, the flowers will still look their best on Sunday and through the next week.
To keep them looking great:
- Keep the vase away from heater vents and sunny windows.
- Top up the water daily, since roses drink a lot in the first two days.
- Remove any outer petals that bruise during the first day.
- Keep flowers away from bowls of fruit, which release ethylene gas.
Common Valentine's Day flower mistakes
- Waiting until February 13 to order and settling for whatever is left.
- Sending to an office on a Sunday, which is closed for most people in 2027.
- Forgetting the apartment number or gate code, which delays delivery on the busiest day.
- Writing a generic card. One specific memory beats a printed poem.
- Choosing size over style. A dozen roses in the right color can mean more than 50 in a color they do not love.
Why we open Valentine's orders early
We open our Valentine's Day collection weeks ahead so we can plan rose quantities, designers and drivers around real orders instead of guesses. That planning is what lets us keep quality steady on the busiest weekend of the year, and it is why early customers get first choice of delivery windows.
