Valentine's Day - It is that time of the year when the whole atmosphere is brewing with love, romance and passion. Yes, we are talking about the Valentine’s Day – a day when a lover expresses his love for his valentine by giving him / her gifts and flowers. A day which is eagerly awaited by all the love-birds. Whether a lover gives gifts to his beloved or not, it is up to him but Valentine’s Day flowers are a must.
Roses, symbolizing love and passion, are the most sought after and traditional Valentine’s Day flowers the world over. According to popular beliefs, Venus, the Roman Goddess of love and beauty, had a special liking for roses. This is the reason why roses are associated with love and romance.
You have to be very careful in deciding the color of the roses you want to give to your beloved as different colored roses convey different meanings. While red roses convey love and passion, white roses stand for true love and purity and yellow and pink roses symbolize friendship.
If you are bored of giving red roses to your Valentine and want to give her something different and exotic, you can try tulips. Daises, carnations or daffodils. While red carnations mean that your lover admires you, tulips symbolize pure love and daises convey innocence. If you want to lead your whole life with your valentine and want to propose her for marriage on the Valentine’s Day, a bouquet of Ivy flowers is the best choice.
You can buy a bouquet combining different types of flowers to give it a colorful and pleasing look. However, try to avoid using artificial flowers because they will not appeal to the senses of the recipient in a way the fresh flowers will, even though they have a long life.
If your beloved is interested in eco-friendly goods, you can also go in for organically – grown flowers, which are devoid of any pesticides and are grown in natural surroundings. She will be pleased to see that you are eco-friendly like her and that you respect her choices.
You can make the bouquet more attractive and colorful by adding ribbons, small stuff toys and even candies to it. Or you can give your beloved a heart-shaped bouquet along with heart shaped chocolates to give her a hearty feeling of being loved.
Tips for impressing your loved ones with Valentine’s Day flowers:
a) It is not necessary that you buy only red roses for your Valentine. You can even pick flowers that your beloved likes. She will be surely happy that you remember her likes! If possible, try to incorporate red, orange or yellow flowers in your bouquet as they together symbolize love, passion and a great friendship.
b) Make sure that you write a personalized message, be it a self-written poem praising your Valentine or a quote from famous authors if you are not too creative, for your beloved. This will not only make her day but also make her love you all the more.
c) Give your order at least two or three days before Valentine’s Day if your Valentine is not living in the same city and you are ordering online flowers. This will prevent any delay in delivering the flowers and leave no scope of disappointment for you in case the flowers you ordered are in short supply. Also confirm with them the date of delivery and availability of flowers.
d) If you are giving orders to a local florist, inform him a day before the Valentine’s Day. Because if you buy them at the last minute, you will not get a good variety and quality of flowers.
e) If you are sending the flowers to a different city, state or country, make sure that the flowers you choose will not wilt during the transit.
f) Break the myth that men don’t like getting flowers. A recent survey indicates that men too like receiving flowers. So surprise the man of your life by giving him a bouquet of flowers of his choice and show that you care and respect him for what he is. You can choose from a variety of flowers like roses, daises, carnations and orchids. Always try to buy flowers in red, orange and yellow color as men are attracted towards these colors.
Be it roses or any fresh flowers, flatter your Valentine with the Valentine’s Day flowers and perk up your love life!
