Why Flower Prices Change: A Simple Guide to Seasonal Flower Arrangements

Flowers for Jane, flower delivery to Langwarrin, Frankston, Cranbourne and surrounds with fresh seasonal flower arrangements.

When you walk into your local grocery store, you know that strawberries cost more in winter and mangoes are cheaper in summer. The same principle applies to flowers – but many people don't realise this when ordering flowers for delivery.

Flowers Are Just Like Fruit and Vegetables

Think about it: flowers are living, growing products that depend on weather, seasons, and growing conditions. Just like the tomatoes at your local farmers market or the apples at Coles, flower prices go up and down based on what's available and what's in season.

When roses are blooming abundantly in spring, they're more affordable. But try to get the same roses in the middle of winter, and you'll pay premium prices for imported stems. It's simple supply and demand – the same economic forces that make your grocery bill change throughout the year.

Why We Don't Count Stems at Flowers for Jane

Here's where many florists do things differently. Most flower delivery services create arrangements based on a set number of stems – "5 mixed flowers $39" or "10 mixed flowers for $79." But this approach ignores the reality of seasonal pricing when someone requires a special request.doesn’t always give you the ‘most bank for your buck’.

At Flowers for Jane, we take a different approach. We create arrangements based on a budget, not a stem count. This means when we find great deals at the flower markets, we pass those savings directly to you in the form of fuller, more beautiful arrangements.

How Our Budget-Based System Works

Let's say you have $100 to spend on a flower arrangement for delivery to Langwarrin. Here's what happens:

In Season: When sunflowers are abundant and affordable, we might be able to include more stunning bright stems in your arrangement, creating a full, lush display.

Out of Season: When the same gerberas are expensive and hard to find, we might only use a couple of stems if any at all – but we'll complement them with other beautiful, in-season flowers to create an arrangement that still looks amazing and fills your $100 budget.

Understanding Seasonal Flower Availability

Just like you wouldn't expect cheap cherries in winter or affordable asparagus in summer, some flowers have their peak seasons:

• Spring: Tulips, daffodils, and freesias 

• Summer: Sunflowers, zinnias, and native flowers are abundant

• Autumn: Field Chrysanthemums and dahlias are at their best

• Winter: Ornamental Kale and snap dragons, offer great value

Understanding What You're Paying For: Skill and Service

When you buy flowers from a florist, you're not just paying for the raw materials – you're investing in skill, time, and expertise. Think of it like dining at a restaurant versus shopping at the supermarket.

You don't go to a café to buy a carton of eggs, and you understand that if you order cooked eggs, the price will be higher than buying raw eggs from Coles. The café charges more because you're paying for the chef's skill, the cooking time, the presentation, and the service.

The same principle applies to flowers:

• If you want farm-fresh flower bunches at wholesale prices, visit a farmers market or flower farm

• If you want professionally designed, carefully arranged bouquets delivered in Frankston, Langwarrin, or Cranbourne, you're paying for our florist's expertise, design skills, and time.

At Flowers for Jane, our pricing reflects not just the cost of flowers, but also the years of training, the artistic vision, and the careful attention that goes into every arrangement we create.

The Best Tip for Buying Flowers Online or From Any Florist

Here's the insider secret that will transform your flower buying experience: let your florist choose the specific flower varieties for you. Instead of requesting "12 red roses and 6 white lilies," focus on the style and colours you want.

When ordering from Flowers for Jane, simply go online and select:

• Style: Do you want a gift-wrapped bouquet, a box of blooms, or a vase arrangement?

• Colour palette: Are you after bright and vibrant, soft pastels, or elegant whites?

This approach gives us the freedom to select the freshest, most beautiful flowers available that day. We know which blooms just arrived from the markets, which varieties are looking their absolute best, and which flowers will give you the most impact for your budget.

For example, instead of ordering "pink roses," ask for a "gift-wrapped bouquet in soft pink tones." We might create something with pink roses, pink gerberas, and white chrysanthemums – or perhaps pink tulips, pink alstroemeria, and eucalyptus, depending on what's fresh and affordable that day.

The Bottom Line

At Flowers for Jane, we believe in honest, transparent pricing that reflects the natural rhythms of flower growing and seasonal availability. By focusing on your budget rather than strict stem counts, and by letting us choose the freshest varieties in your preferred style and colours, you'll always get beautiful arrangements that represent excellent value.
