Londoners most romantic in the UK on Valentine's Day

According to SerenataFlowers.com, the UK’s largest independent online flower delivery service, more Valentine’s bouquets were sent within London on 14 February 2011 than in any other UK city.

Londoner gents also spent 15% more on flowers than those in the rest of the UK.

Glasgow residents were the second biggest sender of bouquets and, despite the economic climate, Glaswegian men are spending more each year on Valentine’s Day – an average 15% more in 2011 than they did in 2010.

The traditional red roses remain the number one choice across the UK. “However we do also receive some strange requests,” says Luisa Tramontano, Director of Media & Marketing at SerenataFlowers.com. “Last year’s weirdest ask for Valentine’s Day was to send a bouquet of bananas – the mind boggles!”

Research based on SerenataFlowers.com sales last year show that only 7% of Valentine’s bouquets were sent anonymously, while a mere 3% of men sent flowers to more than one woman – proving that British men are more romantic – and more faithful, than might be expected!

Interestingly, only 6% of Valentine’s bouquets were ordered by women. And the success of receiving flowers on 14 February may be measured by the fact that 33% of women questioned in a poll said they would be more inclined to sleep with someone who had sent them flowers on Valentine’s Day.

SerenataFlowers.com can guarantee next-day delivery on orders placed up to 8pm, allowing plenty of time to decide which Valentine’s bouquet to send.

The three most popular flower arrangements last Valentine’s Day were the classic dozen red roses, £19.99; Oriental Breeze featuring an array of pink flowers, £19.99 and Narnian Dreams, which includes white lilies and avalanche roses, £34.99.
