below to find
out what We send flowers on Valentine's Day as a way to show our love and
flowers give
appreciation for those special people in our lives. While flowers can
signify romantic interest, you can certainly give a beautiful bouquet to
the best people that you care about as friends. But the flowers that you give
convey different meanings. You may not intend to send romantic flowers
message. to your neighbor, and you'd certainly be remiss to tell your spouse that
you only enjoy their company in a platonic way. That's why it's important
to understand the symbolism of flowers you send on Valentine's Day, and
what they represent before you choose a bouquet.
When it comes to choosing the right flowers for your romantic interest,
Douglas and Karabell say to have fun with it: "Be romantic and splurge.
This is a floral expression of your love." Red and pink are the go-to colors
for romantic flowers. You can, of course, choose traditional roses, but
Douglas and Karabell suggest double petal oriental lilies or double petal
anemones. "Double petal oriental lilies smell amazing and have the
appearance of a peony," they say. "[And the] double petal anemone are
also a key to my heart!" Red flowers signify love and passion, while pink
flowers represent fondness (ideal for a family member or close friend).
Your bouquet can feature both types of flowers if you'd like since
romantic love often has shades of both sentiments.
