The owner of Janette Florist is expecting a busy weekend.
Brandi Sullivan says her shop is fully booked with pre-orders but will still have flowers available for pickup on Valentine's Day.
She says with Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday, her shop saw more deliveries scheduled for Friday.
"Sometimes a lot of people are going out for dinner and things like that, so sometimes florists are not as busy as during the week, but we are seeing a lot of Friday deliveries so they can go to the workplace and things like that," says Sullivan.
She says it's a lot of work, but her team is ready to roll.
"It is almost always a last-minute holiday, so men tend to be a little bit last-minute, but we always have, like, cash and carry available, stuff ready to go that we've been prepping for the last couple of days, and we just have a large selection ready to go for handpicking," she says.
Sullivan says red roses are still popular on Valentine's Day.
"That's the number one flower we sell, but we do see a lot of mixes as well, but it's always been a fan favourite," says Sullivan.
She Sullivan says customers know how fast they book up and made sure to get their pre-orders in.
Sullivan says there will be a large variety of flowers available for pick up on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Janette Florist is located in the 600 block of Janette Ave., between Wyandotte St. W. and Elliott St. W.
