What do Your Valentine’s Day Flowers Say About Your Love?

A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Valentines Bouquet

Flowers have been the language of love for centuries, with each bloom carrying its own unique message. On Valentine’s Day, a carefully chosen bouquet can speak volumes about your feelings, whether it’s a declaration of deep passion, heartfelt admiration, or a gesture of pure appreciation.

At Bridge Road Florist, our Valentine’s Day collection features a wide range of thoughtfully designed arrangements, each crafted to help you express exactly what’s in your heart. Whether you’re celebrating a long-term love or taking the first step in a budding romance, here’s a detailed guide to the perfect bouquet—and what it says about your love story.

Roses: The Timeless Symbol of Romance

If Valentine’s Day had a signature flower, it would be the rose. Roses are universally linked with love and passion, but did you know that their colour and arrangement can change what they mean? The colour of the rose, the number of stems, and even the way they are arranged can completely transform the sentiment behind your gift.

• The classic red rose is most closely associated with deep love and desire, making it a popular Valentine’s Day choice.

• The softer tones of pink roses can create feelings of admiration, gratitude, and symbolise gentler emotions. This makes pink roses ideal for relationships where the bond is still growing or for expressing heartfelt appreciation. 

• White roses, can convey purity and sincerity, and are often chosen for new beginnings or as a way of expressing respect.

Even the way roses are arranged carries weight. A single red rose, for instance, signifies “You are the one,” a simple yet powerful declaration. A dozen red roses amplify that message into a bold expression of eternal love. Mixed arrangements of roses—combining colours like red, pink, and white—can create a layered message of love, respect, and admiration, perfect for conveying the complexity of your feelings.

Roses speak a language all their own, and choosing the right bouquet can transform your Valentine’s Day gesture into a deeply personal expression of your relationship.

For instance "Red Roses En Masse" is an unforgettable choice, offering a lush and dramatic display of passion.
