If you’re looking to buy orchids this year then you’re in luck as these have been deemed as one of the trending flowers. Not only are they used extensively in wedding decor and the like, but they also happen to be one of the most popular gifts given on almost all special occasions, right from Mother’s Day to Valentine’s Day to Graduation celebrations. Though this is partly due to its elegant petals and vastly varied colorations, orchids are also loved for the symbolic power they hold. To know more about the factors you’ll need to bear in mind while choosing the best options for online orchid delivery this year, keep scrolling!

1. Easy Payment and Discounts

Not only does online delivery save you the time and trouble of going to the store to purchase the flowers, but it also makes the payment that much easier. This is because most online florists work on a subscription business model that allows regular consumers to order flowers for an entire week, month, or year at one go. By subscribing, you get a discounted payment rate that is profitable to you as well, while also reducing the effort of having to reorder flowers every so often. 

Apart from this, online floral stores such as the Bouqs.co who offer various varieties of orchid delivery also give first-time customers and regular buyers discounted coupons, making this a far more affordable option than a regular florist. 

2. More Varieties and Faster Delivery

When buying flowers online, you naturally tend to have a larger scale of options than when shopping from a traditional florist. This makes gift-buying that much easier as you have access to the rarest of flowers. With orchids, you need to pay special attention to the type of variety you’re going for as there are over twenty varieties of indoor orchids alone that come in different shapes, sizes, colors, and climatic adaptations. While some orchids can survive with little sun, others may require bright sunlight and lots of air circulation. Thus, it’s good to have more options to choose from as you get to pick one that is suitable for the place the orchid is going to be delivered to.

Additionally, online stores offer express delivery options for when you’re in a hurry. When choosing last-minute gifts, there’s no better way to go as the online store saves you the trouble of having to deliver it yourself. 

3. Buying in Bulk

If you’re buying orchids to decorate a venue or for a wedding celebration, buying them in bulk online is the best way to go. Not only do you significantly reduce the overall cost of the flowers, but you also save a lot in terms of delivery charges, as most online floral stores offer free delivery for bulk orders. Thus, not only do you get a hassle-free delivery but you also get it for free!

4. Combo Offers

Another exciting offer you can avail of in most online stores is combo offers. Not only can you customize bouquets with different orchids of your liking, but you can even purchase different flowers together if they happen to be a combo offer during the time of your order. This not only reduces the overall expense but allows you to buy two flowers for the price of one, and who wouldn’t want that?

Conclusion

Here’s a recap of the main factors involved while choosing the best options for online delivery of orchids:

  • Keep an eye out for discounts and offers in different stores.
  • Express delivery is an option for emergencies.
  • Pick the right variety of orchids based on your climate and living conditions.
  • Search for combo offers that allow you to purchase more than one variety of orchids.
  • Order in bulk to reduce overall costs.
