Saving Money on Flowers / Teleflora Bouquet Giveaway

Is there anything more classic than sending flowers for Mother's Day?

Here are a few tips for saving money on flower arrangements for Mom:

• If it's in season, try picking your own from your garden.  Arrange with other foliage from your plants and shrubs.
• Consider making flowers out of tissue paper.  You can search for lots of great directions to make these.
• Or, consider purchasing artificial flowers from a craft store.  You can often find coupons for craft store purchases in the Sunday newspaper.
• Give a flowering potted plant - it will live much longer, as long as the recipient cares for it well.
• If you're purchasing cut flowers, look for flowers that are in-season and native to your area.
• Look for alternate places to purchase flowers.  I have often seen discount flower bouquets at ALDI.  Most grocery stores also have a floral department.
• Stop by your local florist at the end of the day - perhaps there are arrangements and bouquets that they can sell you at a discount.  It doesn't hurt to ask!
• Try getting an arrangement sent on a day other than the big holidays like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day.  A florist might charge a premium for delivery on those big days.

If you're looking to order flowers for Mother's Day, try Teleflora flowers!  They have beautiful arrangements in many sizes and colors - you're bound to find the perfect arrangement for Mom!

For instance, check out the Always A Lady arrangement shown above. Isn't it just gorgeous? It consists of one dozen white roses with pink asiatic lilies and variegated pittosporum in a classic clear glass vase. This item is hand-arranged and delivered by a local Teleflora florist. It's valued at $72.95 + $14.95 delivery.

Mom would definitely love this, or any of the other elegant Teleflora arrangements. To learn more about Teleflora, follow Teleflora on Facebook.
