Valentine's Day can be a very high expectation day for many men. They want to really get something nice that shows they care, but  aren't sure what their special person really wants. Society has put most men on auto-pilot when it comes to flower shopping. They immediately go with the rose. Roses are lovely and some of the hybrid varieties are breath-taking, but I want to share a little information on flowers that your special someone might love as well and will be easier on the pocketbook during the week of Valentine's Day.

Orchids-
They come in several colors and have a very long vase life. An very elegant choice. They represent exotic beauty and love.

Tulips-
A symbol of perfect love and dreaminess. There are over 3,000 varieties of tulips and they are shipped here from Holland.

Gerbera Daisies-
A happy flower that means beauty, wonder, and loyal love. Their vibrant colors are stunning.

Ranunculus-
"I am dazzled by your charm and beauty" What women wouldn't want her man  to be dazzled by her!

Hydrangea-
Heart-felt emotions

Lily-
Purity and refined beauty




These are just  a few options. Florists love coming up with something unique and specific for your loved one. Utilize their talents and expertise and have them custom-create something amazing this Valentine's Day!

I had the priviledge of doing the flowers for one of my childhood friends. Our parents taught together and for a couple years we lived right next door. I love when family and friends allow me to be a part of the special days! Thank you Sara! Her wedding was one of my favorite color combinations...red and teal. The were married in the mountains of Colorado near Frisco. She wanted something simple and natural, but had pop! We used red gerbera daisies and bear grass. The weather was gorgeous. Many blessings to you Sara and Eric!
