How to choose your Valentine’s Day flowers?

Ah, the traditional gift of flowers for Valentine’s Day. Everyone loves to receive them, and a lot of people enjoying giving them. But how to choose what flower to give? Do you prefer traditional roses or do you want something more unique? What is the message behind different types or colours of flowers? Did you even realize that there were flowers to give beyond the grocery store rose bouquet on your way home from work that evening?

Historically speaking

Have you ever heard the origin story of Valentine’s Day? In third century Rome, Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men so that joining his army would be more appealing. A young priest by the name of Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies in secret until he was found out and imprisoned. Shortly before his execution on February 14, 270 AD, he sent a red rose and a note signed “From Your Valentine” to his love who happened to be the jailer’s daughter.

Let’s start with the most obvious choice. There is a reason these are a classic. But think about branching out from the standard long stemmed red variety. Those are certainly an elegant choice, but keep in mind the recipient. Is their style more prim and proper or more enthusiastic and wild? If they tend towards the latter, why not consider a special arrangement of spray roses or a collection of the cabbage-like variety? You can also consider a different colour such as soft apricot or pristine white for something different.
