Flowers make an ideal gift for all holidays, but on Valentine's Day flowers are essential. There are many aspects that one must take into consideration when choosing Valentine flowers for that special someone. It is important to select a floral gift that conveys the thoughts and feelings of the person sending the bouquet. For this reason, the type of flowers, their colour, and even the number of flowers contained in the display are all essential considerations.
Roses
Most people are aware that red roses are the most popular choice of a floral gift for Valentine's Day, as the red rose is a symbol of love. Their beautiful colour and rich fragrance make them a safe choice for any loved one on this special day. A nice variation of this traditional favourite is the addition of several pink roses, which add special meaning to the bouquet, as the colour pink symbolises happiness.
Peonies
Peonies are an ideal choice for married couples or those who have been in a relationship for many years, as the peony is often regarded as a symbol of enduring love. In addition, peonies come in a wide variety of shades, making it easy to find them in the recipient's favourite colour.
Dasies
Daisies are a member of the sunflower family, and are considered the symbol of a loyal heart. A floral arrangement featuring daisies makes a beautiful Valentine's gift for almost anyone as daisies are appropriate for virtually any recipient, regardless of the relationship. Such flowers are most frequently seen in white, however they can also be found in yellow, purple, pink, and even very light blue. Regardless of the colour, their cheerful appearance serve to brighten up any area in which they are placed.
Orchids
For a unique Valentine's Day gift, one may wish to consider an exotic option, such as an arrangement of several beautiful orchids. Such flowers come in various colours, and their rich scent has mesmerised mankind for centuries. Almost anyone would be pleased and flattered to receive such a lovely Valentine's Day gift.
Personalizing a Floral Gift
A person should also keep in mind that although roses are the traditional choice for Valentine flowers, many people also enjoy receiving their favourite flower on this day, which may be something entirely different from the classic rose. It is wise for one to attempt to discover ahead of time which type of flower the recipient loves best.
Dual Occasions
Some people find a Valentine's Day wedding very romantic. If Valentine's Day is also one's wedding anniversary, he or she should take this into consideration when purchasing a floral gift. For instance, the giver may wish to order flowers in the same colour as those carried by the bride when she walked down the aisle. Another nice choice for this dual occasion is a red or pink flower for every year the couple has been married, as the colour is in keeping with the Valentine's Day theme, and the number of flowers coincides with the couple's years of matrimony. If a couple has been married only a few years, this design can still work, as roses can be used to symbolise the years, and seasonal blooms can be added to round out the arrangement.
Regardless of one's personal preference, any floral arrangement will certainly be regarded as a thoughtful gift, and greatly appreciated by its recipient.
