The language of flowers: your tools to convey a tailored message

When it comes to gifts, flowers can be the best way to express a range of emotions: from gentle affection to ardent love! It is no secret that they are able to speak a special language, and symbolize certain kinds of a relationship. The rules of this language of flowers are important to follow when choosing a floral arrangement: one misstep can ruin the moment completely, which we covered in our last article about unwelcome guests in a bouquet.

Valentine bouquet no-nos: things you don’t want to say by giving flowers

Without a doubt, flowers make the best Valentine’s Day gifts. After all, what is more, eloquent in expressing a romantic feeling than delicate, weightless, almost transparent petals of fresh flowers? Flowers can also be seen as having their own soul, being able to speak to us and carry their own energy.

And it fills the heart of a loved one with warmth.   Different occasions dictate different types of flowers, colors, and even numbers! Most importantly, the more expensive the bouquet, and the larger and brighter the wrapping paper, the more respect the gift commands — and conveys.

There are even plants that are completely inappropriate for Valentine’s Day bouquets! Let’s explore those today.

Good — and bad choices for a Valentine's day bouquet!
