50 Stunning Valentine Floral Arrangements Ideas

For many, Valentines day floral arrangements are an expectation. In fact, it is one of the busiest days of the year for florists throughout the world. However, for the buyer it can be very confusing as well. Although long-stemmed red roses are one of the most popular options, to select the perfect gift one needs to have a clear message in mind and understand what flowers are saying.

Roses are often the most popular because they are traditionally a symbol of romance and love. However, the color and number can send a very different meaning. For instance, red roses are often associated with love and romance, but the number given can say something totally different. A single red rose indicates “it was love at first sight”, but 1,000 means “I’ll love you until the end of time. It’s the same flower, but the number signifies very different things.

Another option that is very popular are bouquets that combine flowers in different combination’s that have very different meanings. For instance, an array that contains primroses, purple hyacinth, pink carnations, and gladiolus mean, “I can’t live without you so please forgive me. I’ll never forget you, but give me a break!”. Is this really what you want to say?

Flowers have a language all their own and can say even more in the way they are given or worn. For those who are greeted at the door with the flowers held in an upright position it sends a very positive message, but if hanging down at the side it says, “I’m here against my will.” Additionally, which hand is used when presenting a floral arrangement sends a message. Right handed presentations tell the recipient “yes”, but left handed deliveries mean, “No way!”
