A beautiful bouquet doesn't have to cost half your paycheck. We often hear the opinion that giving flowers is an expensive luxury. That's not entirely true. If you know when and what to buy, you can get a gorgeous arrangement for the price of lunch.
At Květiny Expres, we believe the joy of flowers should be accessible to everyone. That's why we've put together a category of Bouquets Around 500 CZK and a few tips from our buyers on how to smartly save on flowers.
Bouquets at Great Prices (Our Selection)
1. The Secret to a Low Price? Seasonality!
This is the golden rule of floristry. Flowers that are naturally in bloom right now are always cheaper, bigger, and longer-lasting than ones that have to be laboriously grown in greenhouses or flown in from the other side of the world.
Follow the calendar and you'll save:
-
Spring (Cheapest: Tulips): In spring, go for tulips, daffodils, or hyacinths. In season (March–April), their price drops to a minimum, and a bouquet of 50 tulips ends up cheaper than 15 roses.
-
Summer (Cheapest: Sunflowers and Peonies): Summer belongs to field flowers. Sunflowers, gladioli, and, in June, the beloved peonies are at their peak. They're voluminous, so fewer are needed in a bouquet for a big effect.
-
Autumn (Cheapest: Chrysanthemums): Chrysanthemums (Santini), asters, and dahlias. They're "troupers" that do a lot for little money and last for weeks in a vase.
-
Winter (Cheapest: Amaryllis and Conifer Sprigs): In winter we fill out bouquets with fir sprigs, cotton, or holly (Ilex), which visually increases the volume for a fraction of the price of flowers.
2. Bulk Discounts (Roses by the Bundle)
It might sound like a paradox, but sometimes it's cheaper to buy a big bouquet. How is that possible? With roses, we often offer special prices on bundles of 50 pieces or 100 pieces.
-
When you work out the price per single rose, you get a figure you won't find at a regular florist.
-
It's ideal if you're chipping in on a gift together with colleagues or family.
3. A Florist's Trick: Shorter Stem = Lower Price
Did you know that the price of a rose is often determined by its stem length?
-
A rose with a 70–80 cm stem (premium) is significantly more expensive than one with a 40–50 cm stem.
-
Yet the flower head is often just as big and beautiful!
-
If you're buying a bouquet for a smaller table vase, feel free to choose shorter roses or spray roses. You'll save, and the effect will be the same.
4. Filler Greenery and Small Flowers
A lush bouquet doesn't have to be made only of expensive flowers. Experienced florists combine one or three dominant flowers (e.g. lilies, gerberas) with a cheaper but abundant "filler" – Santini, baby's breath (gypsophila), greenery. The bouquet then looks much bigger than it actually cost.
