If you’re looking for the perfect way to wow your special someone this Valentine’s Day, then you can’t go past the beauty and romance of fresh and fragrant flowers.
However, choosing the right bouquet or arrangement can be tricky. Do you stick with tradition and go for the iconic long-stemmed red rose? Or maybe your Valentine might prefer something a little different, like a bunch of show-stopping lilies? Then there’s the question of colour, size and presentation. While most people prefer to play it safe and opt for red roses, there are others who prefer to get creative and go for a colourful arrangement. Keep it small and simple or go all out? And, how much do a dozen roses cost on Valentine’s Day anyway?
There’s a huge selection of arrangements created especially for Valentine’s Day, so it’s certainly a tough choice. But the good news is, that with a little thought and some expert advice, you can find the perfect flowers to make the 14th of February memorable for all the right reasons. (Just don’t leave it to the last minute and end up frantically wondering where to get flowers on Valentine’s Day!)
So, to help you narrow it down and find the ideal gift, our florists have put together their top 5 Valentine’s Day flower ideas that are sure to put a smile on the face of the person you love.
1. A Bouquet of Long-Stemmed Red Roses

When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts, there’s no better way to express romantic love than with a stunning bouquet of long-stemmed red roses. Known universally as the symbol of love, giving your partner, spouse or someone you admire fresh red roses on Valentine’s Day is the perfect way to tell them they’re the one.
Bouquets of red roses come in a large selection of sizes, and the best choice will depend on your budget, relationship, and the type of message you want to send. For instance, if you’re celebrating a milestone in your relationship this Valentine’s day, go that extra mile and throw in pretty things like a candle and teddy bear to your flower delivery.
While the overriding meaning when you give a bunch of red roses is always love, the number of stems in your bouquet also carries significance. For example, giving a bouquet of 10 red roses tells your partner their love is perfection. This is a lovely message to send to express your happiness in a new relationship, or for those in a long-term partnership or marriage that just keeps getting better.
And if you’re looking to seriously impress and delight this Valentine’s Day, an elaborate bouquet of 50 red roses tells your significant other your love has no bounds.
2. Roses in a Presentation Box
Roses in a box – special Valentines gift
For a modern twist on the traditional Valentine’s Day gift of premium red roses, why not order them in an elegant presentation box? Red roses beautifully boxed add an extra dose of style and luxury to your gift which will not go unnoticed.
Again, you can choose your roses by number to add to the effect. A single stem represents love at first sight, or for established romances, it eloquently states “you are still the one”. A gift of six roses signals your infatuation, while the classic gift of a dozen red roses simply says, “be mine”.
While red is the popular Valentine’s Day choice, roses of any colour look stunning in a presentation box. Whether you opt for timeless white, cheerful yellow or pretty pink blooms, a box of roses delivered to your partner or loved one’s home or office is sure to bring a smile and make for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.
3. Oriental, Stargazer Lilies

Both oriental and stargazer lilies make a stunning gift, whether you choose a single or mixed colour bouquet. They also pair well with almost any flower you can think of, adding elegance and beauty to mixed arrangements.
Stylish and showstopping, tiger lilies are another popular choice as a Valentine’s Day flower. They’re not just beautiful, they also symbolise fierce passion, perfect if you want to set the scene for a memorable day (and night!) to come.
