Valentine’s Day – How to Pick the Perfect Flowers
How to Pick the Perfect Valentine’s Flowers
There’s a lot of pressure riding on this choice. Will she be happy when she walks in the door, or will she think, “Oh. Same as last year” and fake a smile? Maybe it’s your first Valentine’s Day together and you want to really impress, or maybe you’ve got a tight budget but you want to make her feel special anyway. Don’t sweat: the Academy Florist How To Pick the Perfect Valentine’s Flowers Guide is here to help!
-Think about what she likes. Don’t know her favourite flowers? That’s okay. What colours does she like? What’s her design aesthetic? Choose something that you could see fitting right in at her house.
-Remember the special moments you’ve celebrated together, and tie them in: request some of the flowers that were in her wedding bouquet, or blooms that will remind her of the best vacation you’ve taken together.
-Is she a DIY kind of girl? She might like a bouquet of fresh flowers more than an arrangement, so that she can put it together herself. We’ve got lots of fresh flowers in-store just waiting for you!
-Create a luxury hotel-like experience right at home. A few fresh tulips on the bedside table, an eye-catching orchid on the dining room table, and rose petals waiting for a hot bubble bath. Who says you need to go out on Valentine’s Day?
-Go big: paired with wine and chocolates, a dramatic floral arrangement in jewel tones will stun her. Bright fuchsias, vibrant greens, and deep reds are romantic and luxurious—the perfect way to spoil the love of your life!
-If you’re looking for flowers to finish off the perfect gift that you’ve got, then we’ve got you covered. Tie a single rose into the bow on your gift wrap, top your fancy dessert with a fresh hydrangea bloom, or pick up some rose petals for the bed.
-On a tight budget? That’s okay. First, choose to deliver your flowers in person—she’ll love the personal touch. Consider one long-stemmed rose (the ultimate in romance!), one perfect bloom floating in a glass vase, or a single stem of exotic orchids.
-When in doubt, go for something unique. Almost everyone likes roses, but if you’re feeling a little on the fence, then why not try an arrangement that incorporates some of her favourite colours or flowers and is perfectly designed by our floral designers?
-Still need help? Come into a store and talk to one of our designers. We’ll show you what’s fresh in the cooler and maybe spark your interest. We’ve also got a wide array of vases and accents to finish it off perfectly!
