Local shops prepare for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and florists around the Coast are flooded with orders.

Tanya Jones, the owner of the Village Florist in Gulfport, says Valentine’s Day is their busiest day of the year with hundreds of flower arrangements going out on the holiday.

Many local shops will stop taking orders for Valentine’s Day on Wednesday or Thursday. If you still haven’t ordered your loved one their gift, now might be the perfect time. “Shopping local you can actually talk to us or go on our website and it comes straight to us. When they use these third party flower gathers you don’t know where it’s going, who it gets to, and if it will be delivered.”

Since Valentine’s Day is so busy, the Village Florist in Gulfport will be offering a discount on all deliveries that go out on Wednesday or Thursday.
