Before sending flowers on Valentine's Day on February 14, learn some interesting sayings to see what stage your relationship has developed to?!

Happy Valentine's Day♥

Love at first sight/ courtship stage

If you are currently in the stage of pursuing a girl and giving flowers to her for the first time, avoid choosing red roses (unless you know that she likes red roses very much), because red roses are mostly suitable for giving to lovers, so as not to make the other person feel abrupt and "scare their loved ones" during the stage of pursuit. It is recommended to choose some pink series bouquets (such as pink roses and pink hydrangeas), which are more stable and will definitely impress the girl you love. The flower language of hydrangea carries the connotations of hope, eternal love, and the possibility of a happy ending.

In Hong Kong and many Western countries, men give flowers and gifts to women on Valentine's Day. Some people say this is gender stereotyping! Why are flowers and gifts always sent by men? But it turns out that in Japan, on Valentine's Day, February 14, the right to give gifts lies with girls, who give chocolates to the boys they like. Boys will return gifts to girls on March 14th, White Day. In fact, for a couple, Valentine's Day is just to inject a little romantic ritual into everyone's ordinary life. Your thoughts are the most important.

Early stages of love

The color white, an expression of purity and innocence, is often associated with fresh beginnings. Sending a white bouquet shows the fun of starting a new relationship, it doesn’t have to be the traditional white roses, white daisies are a fun and playful way to represent the innocence and lightheartedness of Valentine’s Day. In addition, roses in numbers of 12, 20, or 24 of mixed colors are also quite suitable.

Love

Red roses are often used to express true love and passionate love. The stunning and classic red rose conveys the deepest emotions of love and is the perfect way to say "I love you". If you receive red roses, a special relationship is evident. There are also some rules for the number of flowers you send, and different numbers of flowers in a bouquet have different meanings .

Red roses come in a variety of bright colors and combining different colors together creates a strong feeling of love. The sweet scent of red roses makes this Valentine’s Day one you will never forget. For a more modern romantic design, consider including bouquets in other hues, such as lisianthus and mandarin orange.

Proposal - Moving to the next stage of love

If both of you have reached a consensus to move your love story to the next stage - marriage, many men will take advantage of the warm and romantic Valentine's Day to propose. A perfect proposal definitely requires careful and thorough preparation. In Hong Kong, 50 and 99 red roses are the most popular in the proposal flower series.

Honeymoon period

When a newlywed surprises her with a bouquet of flowers delivered to the office on Valentine’s Day, you score “extra points” because it shows that you’re willing to declare your love to everyone! In addition, when she returns home, she will feel cared for from the bottom of her heart, which will add a lot to your sweet newlywed life.

enthusiasm

The combination filled with bright orange and gold bouquets easily evokes passion, enthusiasm and desire. If she doesn't like roses, consider tulips. Tulips are always exciting and one of the most unique flowers to send or receive, and are also loved by some professional women or ladies with experience in life.

Deep friendship

Yellow roses are an expression of vitality, easily evoking sunny joy, warmth and welcome, and they are a symbol of friendship and caring.


As the relationship develops, after being together for a long time, you already know each other's preferences very well. Then it will be easier and more perfect to choose a bouquet based on the girl's preferences. Bouquets become symbols of different experiences and relationship milestones in life. Take note of your loved one's favorite flowers, choose an arrangement that means the most, and cherish each of your Valentine's Days.

In case our flower shop sells out of dried flowers on February 14th, we should book Valentine's Day bouquets as early as possible to ensure that plans for the day go smoothly and spend a romantic Valentine's Day.
