OJAI, Calif. — FiftyFlowers.com announces that 2009 year-end sales increased
25% over previous year and one million brides shopped for wedding flowers on
their leading website. Page views for the site also increased to 14 million,
while time spent on the site nearly doubled. These numbers demonstrate that the
site continues to increase user engagement while expanding their loyal customer
base and indicate that DIY flowers are the fastest growing wedding trend for
2010.
Couples marrying in 2010 will choose DIY flowers as a way to cut costs according
to The Wedding Report*. And with an estimated 2.2 million weddings projected in
2010*, nearly 50% of all brides will shop for wedding flowers online at
FiftyFlowers.com. While economic woes may be fueling the DIY wedding flower
category, the company also attributes this year’s success to its investment in
new platforms, system upgrades, and an increase in rich and interactive features
such as video and new planning tools.
“We are thrilled that FiftyFlowers.com is well positioned to handle the
significant volume increase. As engaged couples nationwide make the choice to
get creative, be cost-conscious and do their own wedding flowers it is our

the number of brides that realize they can do their own wedding flowers. 2010 is
about orchestrating the wedding of her dreams without overspending and we are
the ideal solution”.
