Whether you’re interested in floral design as a hobby or career, Valentine’s Day is indisputably one of the most crucial holidays within the industry. Whether you’ll be partaking in the business frenzy as a professional this year or if you’re still an aspiring designer, here are some interesting industry facts worth knowing about the holiday:
- In recent years, it is estimated that 198 million roses were produced just for Valentine’s Day (according to the Society of American Florists).
- Of this number, an estimated 75% of flower-purchasing customers were men.
- While on other holidays such as Mother’s Day pastel roses are becoming increasingly popular, red remains the most common colored bloom bought for this day of romance.
- Of all the roses produced and sold each year in the US, the state of California grows an average of 60%. However, on Valentine’s Day, most of the roses sold in the US are imported from South America.
- In America, 15% of women send a bouquet of flowers to themselves on Valentine’s Day.
