White Friday is the UAE’s biggest end-of-November sale season. If you shop flowers strategically, you can get premium blooms, bigger bundles, and better delivery slots for less. Here’s a florist’s cheat-sheet on what to buy, when to buy it, and how to make your money go further.
What Is White Friday in the UAE?
White Friday (often called White November) is the Middle East’s version of Black Friday, launched regionally in 2014 and now celebrated across the UAE and GCC. Instead of one day, most UAE retailers stretch it into a multi-day or even multi-week campaign.
In 2025: major campaigns began around 21 November 2025 and run through late November into early December, with the biggest “doorbuster” weekend falling on the last-Friday period (28 November 2025).
Why Flowers Are a Smart White Friday Buy
- Cooler season advantage: Late-November UAE weather helps bouquets last longer under lights and AC.
- Gifting season overlap: White Friday lines up with UAE National Month and winter celebrations, so florists stock their best sellers.
- Best bundles of the year: Add-ons like chocolates, teddy bears, balloons, and vases often get deeper discounts than stems alone.
What to Buy on White Friday (Best Value Picks)
1- Rose Bouquets & Rose Combos
Roses are the first category to get real price drops because they sell in huge volume during White Friday.
- 25–50 rose bouquets (usually better value than small bunches). Explore our Roses collection.
- Baby’s-breath or two-tone upgrades included free. Want a neat presentation? Try Luxury Rose Boxes.
- Luxury rose boxes at mid-range prices. Going big? Browse 100 Roses Bouquets.
2- Mixed Seasonal Bouquets
These give the biggest “wow per dirham.” Florists can swap stems based on freshness while keeping the design premium.
- Go for winter palettes: whites, blush, reds, burgundy, jewel tones.
- Look for “Designer Choice / Florist Special” sets for the deepest cuts—start with All Flowers or our Premium Arrangements.
3- Long-Lasting Flowers (Budget + Impact)
If you want blooms that still look full after several days, pick naturally long-life stems:
- Chrysanthemums, carnations, alstroemeria, lilies, orchids.
- For fragrance-forward picks, shop Lilies.
4- Plants & Indoor Gift Greens
Plants are often bundled with free pots or upgraded planters during White Friday.
- Orchids, peace lilies, money plants, succulents, small planters.
- Not sure what to choose? Browse All Flowers and ask our team on WhatsApp for plant availability.
5- Add-Ons (Where the Biggest Discounts Hide)
Even when bouquet discounts are modest, White Friday add-ons are usually aggressive:
- Flower + cake combos (check our curated Gift Combos)
- Chocolates, teddy bears, balloons
- Tip: bundles often cost less than buying the bouquet and extras separately.
6- Corporate & Bulk Packs
If you’re ordering for business or events, this is the best window to lock value:
- Lobby arrangements & weekly office flowers—use our Decor Services for end-to-end support.
- Bulk rose bundles for staff gifting—message us for custom quotes.
- National Month themed palettes—our team can tailor Premium Arrangements to your theme.
When to Buy (Timing = Better Deals)
Phase A: Early Deals (3–7 Days Before Peak Weekend)
- Best for: corporate orders, custom bouquets, big rose counts.
- Why: you lock stock before sell-outs and still get early-bird codes.
Phase B: Launch Weekend (Around Nov 21–23)
- Best for: signature best-sellers and limited-edition boxes.
- Why: headline offers appear first; top items vanish fast.
- Pro tip: buy before midday if you need same-day or midnight delivery slots.
Phase C: Peak White Friday Weekend (Around Nov 28–30)
- Best for: roses, mixed bouquets, value bundles.
- Why: most “doorbuster” pricing lands here.
- Pro tip: choose florist choice—our Premium Arrangements are designed to maximize value on the day.
Phase D: Final Days / Early December Clearance
- Best for: upgrades (vases, premium wrapping) and add-on clearance.
- Why: shops clear last-stock accessories hard.
Florist Pro Tips to Shop Smarter
- Filter by delivery speed, not just price. Same-day and timed slots sell out quickest in Dubai. If timing matters, use our Midnight Delivery option early.
- Check stem counts. Make sure “medium/large” lists actual roses or bouquet size; compare across All Flowers.
- Use bundles to upgrade for less. A combo beats a bouquet + add-ons separately—see our Gift Combos.
- Pick long-life flowers for outdoor gifting. They stay fresh even if the recipient is out all day; browse Lilies for great vase life.
- Schedule surprises early. Midnight/early-morning slots are limited—book Midnight Delivery in advance.
- Think ahead for upcoming occasions. White Friday is perfect for locking in Birthday, Anniversary, or For Him surprises at sale prices.
Quick “What Should I Buy?” Cheat Sheet
- For your partner: 25–50 roses or a Luxury Rose Box + chocolates.
- For friends: mixed seasonal bouquet or bright rose/tulip combo.
- For parents: lilies, orchids, or a premium indoor plant.
- For office gifting: petite desk arrangements or coordinated Decor Services.
- For yourself: designer choice bouquet for maximum size per price.
