Toronto Florist Picks: 10 Beautiful Bouquets Under $100
A good bouquet doesn't have to be expensive. If you know what gives the most bang for your buck, you can send something fresh, colourful, and thoughtful for under $100. Prices vary depending on the florist, season and size, but a common price guide lists a small hand-tied bouquet at about $40 to $60, a standard one at $60 to $90 and a premium designer bouquet at $90 and up. So there is lots of room for beautiful choices. Here are ten of the best bouquets under $100 to look for when ordering flowers in Toronto, and why each one is worth it.
10 Bouquet Types That Fit Well Under $100
1. A Dozen Roses
The classic for a reason. A dozen roses from florists across the GTA usually costs between about $60 and $105 depending on the florist, the colour, and the time of year, so it often hovers around or just below the $100 mark. With good care, roses can last 7 to 10 days. Do check the total with delivery before you commit, as that can push a dozen over the line.
2. Six Roses
If a dozen is too expensive, six roses will still keep the romance alive for significantly less. You can still give a smaller bouquet of roses; it can be just as meaningful if it’s nicely wrapped and comes with a handwritten card.
3. Tulips
Tulips are good value in season, which is generally the cooler months through to spring. They offer a soft, fresh look that works for birthdays, thank-yous and just-because gifts, and, like roses, typically last 7 to 10 days.
4. Sunflowers
A sunflower bouquet says cheerful like no other. Ontario sunflowers are best from late summer into early fall, when they are generally more affordable. With proper care, they can last up to about two weeks in a clean vase.
5. Hydrangeas
Each hydrangea stem has a large cluster of blooms, so just a few stems fill a vase and look generous without a large price tag. They are thirsty flowers, so keep the vase topped up with fresh water.
6. Gerbera Daisies
Gerberas are cheerful, casual gifts, bright, simple and available in strong colours. They’re great for birthdays and thank-yous, and a bunch of just one bold colour can be very striking without the need for lots of different flowers.
7. Mixed Seasonal Bouquet
One of the best ways to get more bang for your buck is to let the florist pick. In-season flowers are generally fresher and more affordable, so you can often get more than a bouquet of specific out-of-season blooms when you opt for a seasonal mixed bouquet or a designer’s choice.
8. Carnations
Carnations are not appreciated enough. They come in a range of colours, look full when combined with greenery, and are always among the longest-lasting cut flowers, typically lasting 10 to 14 days or longer, with some sources quoting two to three weeks. They’re hard to beat for a no-fuss, budget-friendly bouquet that keeps on giving.
9. Chrysanthemums and Daisies
Chrysanthemums are another long-lasting favourite. With care, they can last two to three weeks and are in peak season in Ontario in fall. Paired with daisies, they form a casual, happy bouquet at a reasonable price.
10. Bud Vase Arrangement
A few stems in a small vase are a chic alternative to a full bouquet. They fit a desk, a bedside table, or a small space, and they keep the price down. Check that the vase is included; it is not always the case.
How to Stretch a $100 Budget
A few habits can help you get more out of your budget.
Check the Final Total
Add delivery and taxes, and you can easily end up paying over $100 on an order, so check the final price before you pay.
Select In-Season Flowers
They tend to be fresher and cheaper.
Skip Unnecessary Extras
Chocolates, stuffed toys and a vase add up quickly.
Order Before the Holiday Rush
Prices usually spike around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Choose a Bouquet Size That Suits the Occasion
A standard hand-tied bouquet usually costs $60 to $90, which is enough for many gifting occasions.
