To help you get ideas to woo your special someone on Cupid’s Day, here are our top 5 tips on how to pick the best Valentine’s Day flowers in Hong Kong that speak your love.
Sniff out what type of Valentine’s Day flowers she likes
Gifting Valentine's Day flowers, roses and gifts to your special someone is a thoughtful and romantic gesture to show how important she is to you. To ensure your Valentine’s Day surprise is well received or even guarantee yourself a few bonus points from her, you need to know what type of flowers, styles or colours she likes. Whether you plan to order a beautiful rose bouquet online or visit a local Hong Kong florist in person, it is paramount to take the time to learn your loved one's preferences for flowers.
There’s a way to finesse this detective work. Try to casually bring up flower topics in conversations, ask her what her favourite flower is, and see if she has any preferences when it comes to colour and arrangement. You can also look at her flower arrangements at home or work space to get clues for your Valentine’s Day flower gift. If you’re dedicated, it might not be a bad idea to stalk a little on her Instagram for gift inspirations for Valentine’s Day.
Consider the flower and rose colours meaning for Valentine’s Day
Flower colours can convey different meanings and sentiments, so don’t overlook the symbolism behind different flowers when shopping online for your Valentine's Day flowers and rose bouquets.
Red roses are the classic go-to for Valentine's Day. They are universally accepted as the symbol of passionate love. Pink roses represent admiration and appreciation, making them a great choice for delivering your gratitude towards your partner. Champagne roses have been growing popular as a flower gift in recent years, for these champagne-hued blooms represent charm, gracefulness and thoughtfulness, best to tell someone “you’re a beauty in my eyes”. White roses convey powerful meanings as they are tied with weddings and romantic occasions. As the flowers for purity, youthfulness, and innocence, white roses are often used in bridal bouquets or gifted to newlyweds to celebrate new beginnings. For that special someone that you have feelings for but you two are not quite yet a couple, yellow roses will be a good flower gift as they represent friendship and happiness. You can even sprinkle some hints to her by coupling a box of chocolate and a message card in your yellow rose bouquet.
Consider the number of meanings behind rose bouquets for Valentine’s Day
Another Valentine’s Day flower gifting imperative is the number of roses in your bouquet. A single rose can show your devotion and says she is your “love at first sight”. 12 stems in a rose bouquet is a simple way to ask “will you be mine?”. A 24-stem rose bouquet makes a nice, bountiful floral gift for Valentine’s Day to say “I’m yours!” or “you’re always on my mind”. A 36-stem rose bouquet is a stunner that screams “I’m head over heels in love!” or “I’ll remember our romantic moments”. The true showstopper is a 99-stem rose bouquet for you to declare “I will love you till the day I die!” to her in a beautiful and elegant way.
Order Valentine’s Day flowers early from online florists to avoid disappointment
With today’s advancement in eCommerce and shipping in Hong Kong, shopping for Valentine’s Day flowers and gifts is no longer an ordeal. When online flower shops in Hong Kong usually offer a whole Valentine’s Day flower collection like ours for you to choose from, you can assure the exact style and colours of your Valentine’s Day gift, especially if your flower recipient has a particular preference for flowers. Order your Valentine’s Day flowers around 1-2 weeks in advance to allow the florists to reserve the best Valentine’s Day flowers blooming at their prime for you, make sure you schedule the best flower delivery timing and leave some wiggle room in case you need to make any flower order changes.
Similarly, you can take a stroll at local flower markets and stores to get inspiration. While brick-and-mortar shops are good for last-minute shop-and-go gift buying, some people might not find shopping in the crowd a pleasant experience or worry the popular and quality flower bouquets are sold out when they get there. These concerns can be eased if you shop for Valentine’s Day flowers from an online florist. Some online flower shops in Hong Kong, like ours, offer next-day or even same-day flower delivery. At M FLORIST, we offer same-day delivery service on Seasonal flower collection, so you don’t have to worry about last-minute gift shopping.
Bundle the Valentine’s Day flowers with another gift
