Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you’re thinking about surprising someone special with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, we like the way you think! Flowers have been a timeless way to express love, affection, and admiration. You can make your gesture even more special by knowing the meaning behind certain flowers and curating your flower arrangement around that.
Whether you're looking for a classic choice or something a little more unique, we've put together a guide to help you choose the perfect Valentine's Day flowers for your love.
Roses
Everyone knows roses are the universal flower of love. If you are wanting to express your love to someone through flowers, chances are your mind immediately thinks of roses. Red roses are a symbol of love, passion, and commitment. White roses represent purity, innocence, and new beginnings. Our bouquet Forever Yours is a great example of this purity. White roses are a great choice if you are in a new relationship wanting to express your admiration, but not wanting to overwhelm the recipient. Pink roses convey sweetness and gratitude, while yellow roses symbolize friendship. Pink roses are a great choice of flower if you want your valentine to know you appreciate them without going full blown romantic. Check out our Kiss Me Softly as a great pink rose bouquet option. You can't go wrong with roses this Valentine's Day no matter the color!
Carnations
Although they do not share the same prestige as roses, carnations are still a classic Valentine's Day flower. I can remember when I was in school, you could send a carnation with a note to your valentine for $1...so cute! Carnations are a sweet and sentimental flower, contrary to roses which are a much more romantic flower variety. Similar to roses, red carnations express deep love and admiration while pink carnations symbolize a more subtle, affectionate love, ideal for someone you care deeply for but may not be in a romantic relationship with. White carnations represent purity and good luck and are a lovely gesture for a new relationship or for someone who is going through a challenging time.
Orchids
If you can get your hands on orchids this Valentine's Day, they are a great flower variety to add into your special arrangement. Orchids are often seen as a symbol of beauty, strength, and luxury. Their delicate petals and intricate structure make them a perfect gift for someone who appreciates the finer things in life. Orchids are popular and well-loved for their beauty and unique appearances in flower arrangements. As seen in some of the arrangements in our Valentine's Day Collection, orchids look beautiful next to red roses. The ultimate way to say "I love you". Arrangements such as Wild Love, You Have My Heart, and Made With Merlot are great examples of this beauty. Orchids are a great flower variety to add to your bouquet for your valentine this year.
If you want to add a personal touch to your bouquet, think about the recipient’s favorite flowers or colors. Creating a custom arrangement with a mix of flowers that have personal significance to your relationship can make your gift feel even more special. You can also pair your flowers with a heartfelt card or a small, meaningful gift to make the gesture even more memorable.
Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love, and flowers are one of the most beautiful ways to do that. Whether you opt for classic red roses, a bundle of carnations, the key is to choose flowers that reflect your feelings and the unique bond you share with that special person. No matter what you choose, it’s the thought and sentiment behind the flowers that will truly make your gift unforgettable.
