There are also those who renounce the red classic roses. These are younger lovers who, looking for more modern versions, end up making bouquets in dark and strange shades
The florists are putting the final touches on their shop windows, which have been dressed in red for a few days, in anticipation of the Valentine’s Day. In fact, this year Thessaloniki aims to break every sales record in flowers and bouquets.
“Thessaloniki will celebrate romance and love. We estimate more than 300 thousand roses this year, a number that exceeds any previous year and I hope we break the barrier” said Mr. Manolis Syllis, florist owner and member of the Administrative Committee of the Professional Chamber of Thessaloniki
As he said, most orders have been made from the Netherlands, where 90% of the flowers come from, while the last deliveries are made until today, Valentine’s Eve, in more special cases.
“The king of Valentine’s day is the red rose and also quite popular are the teddy bears, designed from roses, in different shades and the Forever Roses, which come in either glasses or cans, as these are products that last for years” noted Mr. Syllis.
Black and blue roses are preferred by younger people
But there are also those who renounce the red classic roses. These are younger lovers who, looking for more modern versions, end up making bouquets in dark and strange shades.
“Younger people love different colors with black as their first choice, influenced by favorite series with magicians, which are extremely popular, so a percentage of young people mainly, not only for tomorrow, but in general, order flowers dyed that they can keep for a long time . In the field of flowers, there is the classic, the timeless, but also the modern,” says Mr. Syllis.
The classics on the other hand – and perhaps more romantic – vote for orchids, tulips, gerberas, anemones, seasonal flowers. There are a lot of pre-reservations and waiting orders for those in a hurry in love, while there are now few cases of exaggeration in the orders, probably due to financial constraints, so the most… large bouquets count fifty or a hundred roses. As for the prices, as people in the field say, despite the increases, the florist world kept the prices at the same levels as last year, from three to five euros per rose.
