February 09, 2025

This Valentine's Day, demonstrate your blossoming love and affection with the perfect floral bouquet. From the iconic rose to exotic blooms, our guide shows you what each flower symbolizes, helping you choose the best arrangement that sends the right message. Whether you're celebrating romance, friendship, or self-love, these floral picks will make your Valentine’s Day unforgettable! 

Roses

One of the most popular Valentine’s Day flowers to give your special someone is the rose, specifically red roses. These iconic flowers are a common flower to symbolize your romantic love and affection for someone. However, just because it is a common flower doesn’t make it any less special for your loved one to receive a bouquet of red roses on Valentine’s Day as a token of your love. 

For a little variety and to symbolize your admiration for your significant other, consider mixing pink roses into your bouquet. 

Carnations

Carnations, while typically a less expensive option compared to roses, are no less romantic to give to your special someone on Valentine’s Day. With all of the many colors of carnations available, you can create a unique bouquet of flowers with ruffled petals. As they symbolize fascination and distinction, they are a great flower choice to send as a gift for Valentine’s Day. 

Additionally, like roses, there are a multitude of colors to choose from that have different meanings. Choose deep crimson to symbolize love and romance or pink to demonstrate your deep admiration. 

Gerber Daisies

Gerber daisies are cute, bright, and cheery blossoms that are a good option for sending to a close friend or loved one as a way to brighten their Valentine’s Day. They come in several vivid colors that are often linked to demonstrating purity and happiness. Add red and pink daisies to add symbols of love and energy.  

Tulips

While tulips may appear simplistic, they are a symbol of perfect love. Commonly seen in springtime bouquets, as they start to bloom just as the temperatures begin to rise, these flowers are a great option for a Valentine’s Day bouquet. 

Symbolizing deep and true love, it’s a wonderful flower to demonstrate how you feel about your significant other or even a close friend or loved one. Choose colors that also symbolize your feelings, like red for romance, pink for friendship and best wishes, or yellow for joy and happiness. 

Anemones

This flower is not as common of a choice for Valentine’s Day, but due to its unique appearance with its dark centers and bright petals, it will make a special bouquet for someone that you love. These simple yet elegant flowers come in bright pinks and purples, symbolizing protection and excitement. Keep in mind that as anemones are a specialty flower, they will need to be preordered.

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums are a wonderful option for a Valentine’s Day bouquet, as they are available in a myriad of sizes, shapes, and colors. Use large blooms with a mixture of smaller blossoms to create unique bouquets. Personalize it by using red chrysanthemums to demonstrate devotion and endurance, pink for friendship and honor, or yellow for cheerfulness and joy. 

These blooms maintain their freshness for a longer time, so your loved one can enjoy them long after Valentine’s Day!
