Flowers are a staple of Valentines Day culture and Val Denomme from ‘Forget Me Not Flowers and More’ explains how the upcoming celebration of romance has been affecting business.
“it’s really building up towards Valentines Day, orders are coming in and people are stopping by and it makes everything busier.” Said Val Denomme.
This year they have a lot of options for Valentines Day gifts at the shop with soaps, bath bombs and of course flowers to top everything off.
Sometimes the hardest part of owning a flower shop is keeping the flowers alive in time for Valentines Day.
“What we do with our flowers to keep them fresher is we get them very very close to Valentines Day and process them so they’re ready to go so we don’t have any flowers from the previous week. It makes us just a little bit busier and it means that we put in longer hours but it’ all for the customers.” She said
Another popular item for Valentines Day is chocolate, and another Covent Garden Market shop that sells chocolates called ‘The Chocolate Factory’ said that business hasn’t really picked up yet but they’re expecting to get busier the night before or the day of.
