Roses: Roses are the traditional symbol of romantic and passionate love, especially on Valentine’s Day. Red roses, in particular, are the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your girlfriend to express your love and passion for her and to let her know you are committed to your relationship. Similarly, pink roses are associated with feelings of happiness, grace, and elegance. Their sweet blush color evokes warm feelings of love that are ideal on their own or mixed within a bouquet of red roses. Choosing an elegant bouquet of pink roses for your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day is a romantic way to express the comfort and stability you feel within your relationship.
Tulips: While roses are usually the go-to flower when it comes to Valentine’s Day bouquets, tulips are another romantic floral favorite due to their sweet fragrance and simple beauty. Throughout history, tulips have been a popular symbol of everlasting love and devotion. Since tulips are early springtime blooming flowers, they are also a symbol of new beginnings and rebirth. Tulips are a romantic choice to give as a gift to celebrate the beginning of your relationship, or even a new level your relationship has reached. Sending your girlfriend a Valentine’s Day bouquet of red tulips to reinforce your feelings of everlasting love. Perhaps if you’re in a newer relationship and aren’t ready to profess your undying devotion, a bouquet of pink tulips is also a perfectly appropriate and romantic flower choice. Pink tulips symbolize the confidence and happiness you feel about the future of your relationship with one another. Plus, you’ll get extra points for originality instead of going with the more obvious rose bouquet.
Carnations: Carnations complete the trifecta of traditional Valentine’s Day flowers that are the most popular bouquets for gift giving. Carnations are a beautiful and versatile flower that comes in every color of the rainbow. Their simple elegance and ruffled petals blend beautifully with any of your other favorite flowers, giving perfect accents of color throughout your bouquet. FTD offers gorgeous Valentine’s Day carnation bouquets
