Love in full bloom: choosing the best flowers for your Valentine

26 January 2025
Valentine’s Day is the day we celebrate being in love - a time to honour the special bond you share with your partner. The age-old, time-tested way to express your affection is through the gift of flowers. Whether it’s a grand romantic gesture or a small token of appreciation, flowers remain a timeless way to show your love and affection for your special person. Why choose flowers for Valentine’s Day? Flowers speak a universal language of love and emotion. Each bloom carries its own meaning, from the classic romance of red roses to the delicate elegance of orchids. With the help of the best florist in Christchurch, New Zealand, you can select an arrangement that reflects your unique relationship. From wedding flowers to thoughtful ‘just because’ bouquets, our designs are always tailored to delight. Flowers have been a symbol of love and admiration for centuries. The Victorians popularised the “language of flowers,” where different flowers conveyed specific messages. Even today, the choice of flowers you gift can express your emotions in a way words sometimes cannot. Roses, for example, are synonymous with passion and devotion, while lilies convey purity and refined beauty. This deeper symbolism makes flowers more than just a gift—they become a heartfelt expression of your feelings.
