Happy Valentine’s week friends! I hope you are as excited as I am about celebrating this holiday! It’s my favorite holiday because it is all ALL about showing those around you that you love them. Whether that’s your girlfriends or your significant other, I hope you choose to celebrate this joyful day! I also hope this blog post will help you have a successful Valentine’s Day this year.
Flowers
Looking for the perfect floral gift this year? You’re in luck because Atlanta has plenty of options for any budget. If you are looking for high quality, elegance- I recommend checking out my friends at Le Jardin . They will help you design an exquisite floral arrangement or just put one together for you before Valentine’s Day. While you are at Le Jardin, make sure you run to Perrine’s Wine Shop to complete your special gift! Not only can you find a wide selection of wines but you can also find artisan cheeses and cured meats — perfect for pairing with Perrine’s expertly selected wines.
If you rather go a more casual route OR you want to create your own masterpiece, head to your nearby Trader Joes. They have some of the best flower options in the city! You can also grab potted flowers which is actually what I asked my husband for this year.
