As you think about what type of floral arrangement to give to your loved one this year, check out these fun facts about Valentine’s bouquets to help you choose a gift that is just right for her!
Red Roses are the Most Popular Valentine’s Bouquet
The most common Valentine’s bouquet is a dozen red roses! We love what a beautiful and romantic statement roses can make, and we deliver many of these classic arrangements every Valentine’s Day! If you’re considering a different approach for this year, lilies, tulips, orchids, and daisies are often included in bouquets for their beauty and symbolism.
Different Flowers Can Have Different Meanings
In the Victorian era, flowers were used to convey messages without words. This practice, known as floriography, assigned specific meanings to different flowers. Today, this tradition continues to influence the choice of flowers in bouquets. For example, you probably could guess that red roses are a symbol of love and deep affection. Yellow roses, on the other hand, symbolize friendship, joy, and happiness. Orchids represent love, beauty, and strength, while violets are traditionally associated with faithfulness and loyalty.
Roses Tend to Get More Expensive at Valentine’s Day
You probably don’t keep a close eye on the prices for roses throughout the year, but maybe you’ve heard that roses get more expensive this time of year. It’s true! A combination of increased demand plus the specific growing season for roses makes them more pricey around Valentine’s Day. If you ask us, though, the impact of a bouquet of roses on Valentine’s Day is well worth the cost!
Valentine’s Day Flowers Can Make A Sweet Gift of Friendship
While most of the bouquets we create on Valentine’s Day are for couples, friendship gifts on Valentine’s Day are also common! You might choose to order a small bouquet or houseplant for a friend to let them know you care!
