Romantic Valentine’s Day Flowers

By Simon Crowther @prestigeflower

The gift of flowers for Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular choices for many couples.  That being said, it can be difficult to steer clear of the classic cliches of a dozen red roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates.  So many of the most popular gift ideas have become pretty ordinary over time and it can be difficult to think of something that will stand out and prove meaningful.

When you are looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day flowers to send and you want the recipient to really enjoy and appreciate them, then you need to put some extra thought and effort into your flower order.  By taking the time to think of something original, unique and extra special, you are bound to make a lasting impression.  Putting extra thought into your selection will be a clear indication of how much you care and are willing to go the extra mile.

The first important point to keep in mind is that everyone is different and we all have our own preferences when comes to types of flowers and colours.  If the intended recipient fancies yellow, then a bunch of yellow flowers is sure to brighten their day.  On top of this, if you manage to find out what their favorite kind of flower is, you can order a bouquet of their favourites or at least have a few included as part of a mixed bouquet.  For the most part, your flower selection will depend on what’s in season at that particular time of year.  Seasonal flowers are bound to be more reasonably priced than those that had to be imported.

If you are looking for something particularly different, you can look for a special vase to compliment the arrangement or you could even look for a potted plant as an option that last even longer than a regular bunch of cut flowers.  Remember that potted plants require a certain amount of regular care so make sure that the intended recipient is keen on this idea.  If they are always on the go and hardly ever home, this is probably not the best idea.

Remember that it’s not all about the flowers.  Whether you order a bouquet from your local florist or you order your flowers online, you need to think carefully about the message you would like to include.  For added romance, you could send your partner a love letter and flowers from their “Secret Admirer”.  Sure, they will probably know that it’s from you but it’s bound to make them smile.

The key to choosing the perfect romantic bunch is to eliminate yourself from the equation.  Forget about your own likes and dislikes.  Make it all about the intended recipient and you can’t go wrong!  In many cases, when you order flowers, delivery in the UK, Europe, USA and many other countries is either very cheap or possibly even free!  This is really handy when you order flowers online and you really want to surprise the recipient.
