valentines day gifts flowers explained: how to choose blooms that speak

Why flowers still say it best

On Valentine’s Day, a bouquet is more than decoration; it is a language of color and scent. Reds whisper devotion, pinks suggest tenderness, and whites promise new beginnings. Selecting thoughtfully-stem length, bloom stage, and fragrance-turns a simple bunch into a personal note. Add a brief card, or let the petals carry the message.

How the gifting experience works

Start by setting your intention and budget, then match varieties to your story. A trusted florist will confirm seasonality, condition each stem, and time delivery so blossoms arrive at peak. For distant loved ones, same‑day services pack blooms in water and use cool transit; for handoff dates, schedule a morning drop to allow hydration and gentle opening.

• Roses: iconic, long vase life when cut at 45°.
• Tulips: lively movement, modern, elegant.
• Ranunculus: plush texture for romantic depth.
• Orchids: sculptural and lasting, a bold statement.
• Local mixes: sustainable, unique, and heartfelt.

Finish with reusable wrap, a clean vase, and simple care: fresh water, cool light, and a sincere line from you.
