LOS ANGELES, CA – Recession warriors take heart. Discover a new way to stretch
Valentine’s budgets with fresh from the farm, lush, colorful flower bouquets
from wholesalers in The LA Flower District California Flower Mall (www.californiaflowermall.com). Valentine’s Day is on Sunday, February 14 this year, part of the three-day Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, so sweethearts with more time than money to spend have an affordable way to express their love with flowers.
“Couples from all walks of life are experiencing the magic of romance here at
The LA Flower District. It’s a sensuous, visually dazzling neighborhood in The
LA Fashion District (www.fashiondistrict.org) and a romantic urban adventure for
couples. Some sweethearts are not able to splurge for Valentine’s Day due to the
down economy, while others choose Valentine’s flower bouquets at lower wholesale
prices so they can spend more on fine dining,” said Mark Chatoff, Owner &
President of The LA Flower District California Flower Mall.
“Savvy shoppers can save 70% on beautiful, fresh flowers, bouquets, orchids,
exotic tropicals and live potted plants. We’ve met sweethearts that purchased
Valentine’s flowers here in February who returned in June for their wholesale
wedding flowers,” he added.
Chatoff offers these insider tips for navigating the Flower District like a
floral trade pro:
— Be Early Birds — Plan to arrive before 7 a.m. on Saturday for the best
experience. Flowers are delivered at 3 a.m. and the markets buzz with trade
customers starting at 4 a.m. Observe how the trade shops. The week before
Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest holiday weeks of the year.
— Bargain — Negotiate like the trade does. Don’t accept the first price
offered. It’s an accepted business custom. Plan to pay cash for your purchases.
ATMs are on-site.
— Relax — Take note of your sweetheart’s favorite flowers as she picks her
bouquet. Take a romantic early morning stroll along the sidewalks of the
district and enjoy a festival of fragrances and colors that dazzle the senses
and make hearts sing. Bring a bucket and water to keep flowers fresh in the car
if you plan to stop for brunch before you get Valentine’s flowers home.
