Every year, Americans shell out big bucks to send love on the 14th day of February. Well, that is if love can be found in a bouquet of red roses.
The Society of American Florists estimates that more than 250 million roses are produced on Valentine’s Day.
A retailer member survey from the trade organization found that 50% of florists expect Valentine’s Day 2021 sales to exceed those of 2020 despite the fact that the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.
Whether it’s for a significant other, a friend or a treat to yourself: Here are some local florists in metro Atlanta to keep in mind ahead of Valentine’s day.
