Whether you’re starting a new relationship, confessing to a crush, or showing your friends or family how much you care, flowers are a great way to express your feelings. Here’s a guide to picking the perfect flowers for every type of relationship.

For someone you’ve been with for a while you’ll want to pick flowers that show how much you care. Classic red roses are always a good choice because they represent love and passion, but you can also add a personal touch by choosing flowers they love. Maybe they prefer native flowers, or they have a favourite colour that means something special to both of you. Adding their favourite flowers will make the bouquet even more meaningful.
Tip: Think about the flowers or colours they love. Maybe a flower reminds you of a date you went on or a memory you shared. Including this in the bouquet makes the gift even more personal.
Message Idea: “Thank you for being my forever Valentine.”
Flower recommendation: 'Queen' or 'Valentine rose bouquet'
In the early stages of a romance, you want to show that you’re thinking of them without going overboard. Soft, pastel flowers like pink roses or lilies are sweet, romantic, and thoughtful. If you know the person’s style you can pick flowers based on whether they like big, bold bouquets or something smaller and more subtle.
Tip: Look for clues in what they wear or how they decorate. If they wear a lot of black or neutrals a sleek bouquet of white lilies might be a better fit. If they love bold colours or have bright décor at home a vibrant mix of flowers might be more up their alley.
Message Idea: “I’m really enjoying getting to know you. Here’s to many more moments like this!”

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic relationships! It’s also a great time to celebrate your friendships. Flowers like yellow roses, gerberas, or sunflowers are perfect for showing how much you appreciate your friends. These flowers are bright, cheerful, and full of positive energy, just like a great friendship.
Tip: Add a little extra thought by picking flowers that fit your friend’s personality. If they love quirky, unique things, try a mixed bouquet with different flower types. If they’re more of a minimalist, a simple single flower like a lily, lisianthus, or dahlia might suit them best.
Message Idea: “So lucky to have a friend like you. Happy Valentine’s Day!”

4. For a Crush: Fun and Lighthearted
When you're just starting to like someone, keep it simple and fun. Bright flowers like gerberas or sunflowers are perfect because they’re happy, colourful, and won’t feel too serious. A small mixed bouquet or even a single flower is a great way to show you’re thinking of them without going overboard.
Tip: Pay attention to what the person likes! Do they have a favourite colour? If they do, try to include that in your bouquet to show you’ve put some thought into it.
Message Idea: “Thinking of you and hope this brightens your day! Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Flower recommendation: 'Sunny Days' or 'Happy Days'

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic partners—it’s a chance to celebrate the special bond between parents and children, too! This tradition can be as simple as a single rose, a sweet card, or even a small soft toy.
Tip: The gesture doesn’t need to be grand to be meaningful—it’s the thought and love behind it that counts.
Message Idea: “You’re my Valentine every day. Love you lots!”
Flower recommendation: Single rose or Single Gerbera
