Valentine’s flowers are the heart of romantic gifting on 14 February. When planning a grand romantic gesture, a thoughtful surprise, or a meaningful gift for a loved one, selecting the most romantic bouquet is essential.

While red roses are the most popular choice for gifting romantic flowers on Valentine’s Day, consider mixing them with other romantic flowers to make your gift feel unique and unexpected.

Red roses mixed with tulips

These are the undisputed champions of romance, representing passion and undying love. Red roses symbolise love throughout and are considered one of the romantic flowers of choice. Try mixing them up with tulips to offer that cheerful, modern, and fresh contemporary vibe. Tulips signify perfect and undying love, making them mix well with red roses.

Pink Roses with white lisianthus

Vintage pink roses convey a softer message compared tored roses and are an excellent substitute for early stages of romance dating. New relationships are best represented by pink roses, as this indicates a budding affection. These blooms speak of admiration, sweetness, and gentle affection. They’re ideal for first Valentine’s Days together, or couples who prefer tender gestures over dramatic declarations. Try pairing your pink roses with arrangements of white lisianthus. Lisianthus flowers offer soft wax flowers. The effect is modern, romantic, and pretty.

Orchids

Orchids represent unity, love, and beauty, making them a brilliant choice for Valentine’s Day. For partners who appreciate refined beauty and lasting elegance, orchids are a show-stopping choice. They are also exotic blooms symbolising luxury, strength, and sophisticated love.

Sunflowers with delphiniums

A styling idea for your bouquet would be to pair sunflowers with blue or purple delphiniums or irises. Wrap them together in rustic kraft paper to give off that high effort romantic love. Sunflowers on their own represent loyalty, adoration, and longevity.

With so many gorgeous options, how does one even choose the right Valentine’s bouquet?
