Whether you’re making a grand romantic gesture, celebrating an anniversary, or just want to send a small token of your affection, our florists can conjure up romantic flowers to sweep them off their feet. Every florist-made bouquet is handcrafted by a local expert, using the freshest blooms available on the day. After all your love is special, the flowers should be too.
It’s all about red when it comes to romantic blooms. Red flowers usually signify deep love and affection. The rose is the classic symbol of love, particularly the red rose. Whether it’s a dozen or a show-stopping hundred, red roses are an iconic romantic flower. Red lilies might not be as famed as red roses, but they also symbolise love and passion, making them a great choice if roses seem predictable. Remember, cats definitely do not love lilies, so if there’s a moggy about, go for one of our lily-free bouquets. If you’re looking for something different, dahlias are also a favourite in anniversary bouquets - not only do they add gorgeous texture with their delicate pom-pom heads, but they are said to signify a lasting bond and commitment.
Love has many layers, and these five blooms each represent a different facet of the heart’s intentions. Red Roses are the undisputed icons of deep, passionate romance, while Peonies are often associated with a happy marriage and prosperity. Tulips, specifically red ones, carry the meaning of “perfect love,” whereas Orchids represent a more exotic, refined, and enduring strength. Finally, Carnations (particularly deep red) symbolise deep affection and the “heart aching” for a loved one.
The “best” flower depends on the stage of your journey, but Roses remain the gold standard for their versatility; red signifies passion, while pink represents the blossoming of a new, sweet affection. If you are looking for something that symbolises a healthy, established partnership, Sunflowers are an excellent choice because they represent loyalty, longevity, and “following the light” together. For a relationship built on deep trust and elegance, Lilies are a sophisticated way to show your partner that your bond is truly special.
The Tulip is often cited as a symbol of eternal love because it is one of the first flowers to return each spring, representing a devotion that is renewed year after year. However, for a more literal take on “forever,” many look to the Dried Flower or “Infinity Rose”, real blooms that have been preserved to maintain their beauty for years without water. In classical mythology, the Honeysuckle is also a powerful symbol of an unbreakable bond, with its climbing vines representing two lives becoming inextricably entwined.
Of course, you would never forget an anniversary, but if you did, don’t worry – we can get you gorgeous blooms in a hurry. Order by 3 pm and most of our florists can deliver on the same day.
And if your special someone is long-distance, we can help with that, too. We can deliver flowers abroad to over 100 countries, so your love can go the distance, even if you can’t.
