Choosing the Perfect Valentine's Day Bouquet

Tami Etziony • February 11, 2025

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to express love than with a thoughtful bouquet? Flowers have long been a symbol of affection, romance, and admiration, and selecting the right arrangement can speak volumes. At Red Bud Florals, we understand the art of floral expression. From delicate roses to lush, vibrant arrangements, let us guide you through the language of flowers so you can choose the perfect Valentine’s Day bouquet for your loved one.


The History of Flowers and Romance

For centuries, flowers have been used to convey emotions. The Victorian era popularized the concept of "floriography"—the language of flowers. Different blooms carried specific meanings, allowing lovers to communicate their feelings without uttering a single word. This tradition continues today, especially on Valentine’s Day, when bouquets become timeless expressions of love and admiration.
