Since the middle ages Valentine’s day has been associated with romantic love. According to the Greeting Cards Association of America, 1 billion cards are sold each year on Valentine’s day, making it the second largest card-selling holiday after Christmas. Different cultures celebrate this day differently but one thing remains constant-flowers. It was in the 17th century that giving flowers on Valentine’s day first became popular. Flowers and Romance are inseparable. Valentine’s day remains incomplete without the almost ritualistic offering of Valentine day flowers to your sweetheart.
The kind of flowers you choose to gift can be of any color or type depending on the person you are gifting them to. An elegant bunch of red tulips or your ladylove’s favorite flowers would be a good idea. Or if you want to make a bold statement, go with a bunch of single stemmed red roses, for nothing says ‘I love you’ the way red roses do. Roses are the flower of choice for this day. It is said that the Rose was the favorite flower of Venus, the goddess of Love and it has therefore always been a symbol of Love and passion.
If you’d like to surprise someone, avail of the various valentine flower delivery services offered all over the world and make it a special day by sending flowers first thing in the morning. The most popular colors of Valentine’s day are Red and White and a combination of the two Pink. Red indicates Passion, white indicates Purity and Pink is appropriately perched between the two, an amalgation of Passion and Purity. Therefore, the color of flowers you chose to gift would be indicative of your feelings for that person.
Though most people consider Valentine’s day to be an exclusive domain for lovers it is most certainly not so. It is more like a celebration of human relations. So feel free to gift flowers to your friends or parents if you should feel the need to do so. Each flower sends out a unique message . Therefore incase you are not sure about which flower you would like to buy, you may want to think about the message you’d like to send and choose a flower which sends out that message.
Also make sure you accessorize that lovely bouquet with a card or a box of chocolates. In some cases you could also present a bottle of wine. So reach out and spread some love on Valentines Day and do not forget the flowers.
