So call me cheap or whatever... but here's what I've done for the past 5 years, and its been fantastic every time.
Go to a grocery store. Seriously. Get them yourself and deliver them yourself. To the girl, it means much more when you pick out the flowers yourself and give them to her directly than having some gay dude put an arrangement together and some weird guy in a van delivering them.
The quality of flowers at grocery stores (Here in TN, like Kroger or Publix.. even Wal-Mart) is fantastic. You can buy them young or fully mature, depending on how long you want them to last. I've gone the florist route, and I usually just spend $100 on roses that are massive for a day or two, then wilt. I'd much rather pay <$50 for flowers that are going to last almost two weeks. Just a suggestion for you guys who haven't tried it out yet.
