HELP! Looking for place that sells HUGE bouquets for Valentine's...



I've been 'instructed' to get one of those HUGE Valentine's day floral arrangements, the ones that you see girls give to their idols when they're singing, etc.... (in Hong Kong, etc.).... They usually have like 12 roses, and like tons and tons of other flowers all wrapped in that cellaphane stuff, with a HUGE bow and stuff...

Where can I get these?? It should be HUGE, so big that.... (I'm thinking), that if you're holding onto it, I can't see you except your knees and below...



I know I'll have to go hunting over the weekend at First Markham Place, Market Village, and PacMall.... However, I'm really unsure about their delivery practices for the downtown core...

Can anyone help me out with suggestions? Possible stores I MUST visit??

I did the mistake of getting her one of those HUGE floral arrangements when she was in Hong Kong a few yrs back.... Past few years she's been getting the usual 12 extra-long stem roses in the white box, and she's getting sick of that (me too... looks like a casket!)

Money IS an object! But, I know what the bottom range is.... So.... any suggestions please throw this way!

Pacmall should do the trick easy, theres like 2 major flower shops that does that stuff, order in advance, cause all da rich fobs are buying all the flowers of Holand

Pacific...
I went to order flowers from this shop in the front left corner (front being the exit that faces steeles). It was relative cheap and the owner was pretty nice and made sure it got there ok... I think there's one in the middle too with all those pictures along the window... It looks like you can get it there for sure...

the one in the middle of pac mall does quite a nice job and they delivered on time everytime i've bought from them. the prices are realtively lower than the other ones. give them a shot.

BLUE, or RED roses for Valentines?! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I went to that one in the middle of PacMall... called Grace's Garden or something like that.... Holy **** they look pretty nice... Then, when you look at the price and are about to buy, the lady says you have to tack on $50 more for 12 roses as it's Feb/14... What a FRIGGEN RIP OFF! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Plus, they don't deliver, not on 14th...

FINAL DAMAGE: $280

I went to a store on the side (can't remember the name) of PacMall... Sam side as AutoBas/Station28....

holy shiet I'm so poor now [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] It was for 12 roses (up to the florist on colour), 5 cally lillies or some shiet, and nice wrapping and delivery downtown.... OMG I can't believe I paid that much
