3. Consider your location.
Are there any flowers local to your area? If so, those will always cost less than varieties that have to be shipped in. Opt for local flowers (your florist can help you with this if you are unsure) or just try to avoid exotic varieties that are sure to cost more.

4. Deliver them yourself.
Delivery is fun surprise but can cost you as much as an extra $20. Instead, deliver the bouquet yourself or have a friend do it for less. This is a simple way to still get flowers to your sweetheart while keeping some cash in your hand.

5. Think outside the bouquet.
Bouquets are fun, but potted plants cost way less. Find a flowering variety and your sweetheart can still get all of the color for less. Plus, potted plants last much longer giving you more bang for your buck.
