Sending Valentine’s Day Flowers

Showing someone that you love and care for them by sending flowers is a tradition which continues to grab everyone’s attention on the 14th February Valentine’s Day.
Each year millions of flowers are brought, sent and received as a way of openly showing affection and love between two people.

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine’s Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D. While other believe the first official Saint Valentine’s Day was declared on 14th of February by Pope Galasius in 496, in memory of a 3rd century martyred priest in Rome. Either version shows that Valentine’s Day has been widely celebrated for hundreds of years!

The most traditional symbolic flower to send on this special day are deep red roses.

Red roses remain a popular choice for many people, however a variety of alternative flowers such as mixed bouquets, crimson red carnations and exotic flowers from around the world are becoming increasingly popular choices.

Pink flowers are also becoming increasingly popular alternatives to traditional reds. Delicate bouquets comprising of a multitude of cerise pink and white Thai orchids make a truly stunning display which will be appreciated by recipients of any age.

Hand tied aqua packs are ideal for those who are not very adept at finding suitable vases and containers in which to display flowers they receive. Aqua packs require very little further attention they look simply striking as they are.

Contemporary floral arrangements are the perfect solution for coordinating with chic and stylish interiors. Exotic flower blooms and foliage only displays coordinate wonderfully with minimalist interiors. Displays such as Dendrobium Orchids, carefully interspersed with delicate pink carnations are the perfect way to show someone you love them.

Partners and admirers who wish to impress in a big way are favouring choices of enormous bouquets made up from only one flower type. These fantastic floral arrangements look stunning when packed tightly into a single modern glass container rather than a traditional style vase. Tied with huge bows and ribbons these floral designs declare undying love and affection in trendy style and flamboyance!

One of the great advantages of having flowers delivered on Valentine’s Day by florists is the element of surprise, especially if they are sent in the traditional anonymous way. The excitement and anticipation of receiving flowers continues to be a very important factor is some people’s lives. There are no excuses and little forgiveness for partners, lovers and admirers who forget! For those who are having to keep check on their money a single red rose stripped of its thorns and tied with a delicate red bow provides a truly affordable romantic gesture.
