If we speak about flowers to give on Valentine’s Day, the first place goes to roses. The intense red color symbolizes endless love, true and deep.
A classic: Red roses
When Aphrodite found her lover Adonis wounded her sweat turned into a red rose bush. This is how Greek mythology began to relate these flowers to love and passion.
Later, in the 19th century, with the use of floriography to communicate clandestinely, red roses were consecrated as a romantic expression.
Now, the number of rose stems in a bouquet also helps to emphasize the message of this flower.

A plus for your floral gifts
If you also want to give an extra touch to the bouquet or floral arrangement, you can accompany it with chocolates, balloons, stuffed animals or a drink to make this February 14th special.
Let’s start by talking about a classic. Chocolate makes anyone happy. Beyond its delicious taste, it is a way to show how much you love that person. If you want to make the gift even more romantic, you can choose a box of chocolates especially for this celebration.
Another gift closely associated with the love of a couple are stuffed animals. From bears to hearts with an embroidered “I love you”, it is a gift of affection and tenderness.
Maybe you wish for a more sensual gift to enjoy on a romantic night. In that case, sending a bottle of tequila or whiskey (in some areas of Mexico), can be the perfect gift.
Whether you choose chocolates, stuffed animals, a drink, or something more personal, the best way to accompany it is with a dedicated card (we add them at no extra cost!), expressing how much you love him or her.
The dedication must be special. Precise and sincere. Before choosing the right words, it is advisable to make an introspection to find the feelings you want to communicate. Another tip is to make a comparison between the recipient and the qualities of the gift. For example, their sweetness, tenderness, or personality.
If writing is something you find difficult you can quote a poem or song that conveys what you would like to say. At Premium Florist we even have suggested texts in case you need to use them.
