Valentine's Day Flowers

Why Valentine’s Day Flowers?

Have you ever wondered why we give flowers to loved ones on Valentine’s Day? The practice began in the 17th century. Although people had been celebrating the day for hundreds of years already in honour of Saint Valentine, it wasn’t until centuries later that flowers began to be a staple gift.

Roses, in particular, were seen as a symbol of love at the time, said to be the favoured flower of the goddess of love and romance, Venus. February was also the month that many ancient cultures celebrated fertility and life, and flowers have always gone hand in hand with these. So, it was only natural that the holiday of love came to be marked by floral decorations and gifts.

How To Choose The Best Valentine’s Day Flowers in Auckland

Not all flowers are created equal, and not all flowers send the same message. In fact, did you know that Charles II of Sweden first introduced the practice of sending flowers to communicate in the 18th Century?  Every flower had its own meaning, and people could practically hold a conversation just by sending flowers.

Today, flowers still send a message. But if you aren’t sure what type of Valentine’s Day flowers are best for your loved one, let this quick guide help you decide.

Valentine’s Day Roses Are The Easy Choice

If you want to go for a classic choice that every woman loves, roses are the way to go. Nothing says romance like a red bouquet of roses practically bursting from a vase. But, other colours can work well too.

When they choose white roses Auckland lovers are sending the message that their love is pure and innocent. White roses are a very traditional wedding bouquet, so if you are planning to pop the question this Valentine’s Day, they could be a perfect choice.

Pink roses represent gratitude and admiration. They are the perfect way to tell your spouse just how grateful you are that they are in your life.

Mix It Up With Tulips

We don’t often associate tulips with Valentine’s Day, but they can be the ideal choice to give to a non-romantic loved one. Symbolizing comfort and balance, a simple bouquet of pink, white, and red tulips is the perfect gift for a best friend or sister.

Add a Delicate Touch With Carnations

Carnations are often overlooked as one of the flowers of love. But, when you arrange them well in Valentine’s Day colors (red, pink, white), they communicate a soft, delicate love to that special someone. Like a floral whisper of sweet nothings, the feathery lightness of carnations will touch her heart with a spell of romance.

Go Exotic With Lilies

Typically associated with Easter, lilies make a wonderful Valentine’s Day flower when you want something that says “I love you” with a little bit of tropical paradise on the side. Especially when they are paired with roses in a bouquet, lilies add the perfect pop to your Valentine’s Day flowers.

Pick Her Favorite To Show You Care

Nothing makes a woman’s heart melt like an observant lover. If she hasn’t outright told you her favourite flower in the past, maybe you’ve noticed her always commenting on daisies or constantly buying herself hyacinths.

While not every flower screams romance in general, choosing the flowers that you know she loves most will be romantic to her. So do a little detective work if you don’t already know your lover’s favourite flowers and surprise her with something unique this year.

The More the Merrier

And, of course, don’t feel like you are limited to a single bouquet of roses or just one vase of carnations.

While some flowers are better than no flowers, many flowers are best of all.

Seriously, imagine the look on her face when she comes home to a room overflowing with roses. It would be a Valentine’s Day she would never forget.

Dear Our Lovely Customers, 

If you are planning to participate in the annual ritual of romantic celebration, and are looking to express your love for the MVP (most valuable person) of your life with roses in Auckland, then please beware that you will experience a price surge for roses during the period of February 8th - 14th. This is due to the world-wide phenomenon known as Valentine's Day and the economic law of Demand & Supply. 

                                                                                           
We here at Matan Florist have kept the price surge to a minimum, so that your romantic endeavour won't cost an arm and a leg to fulfil. All of our other flower products will remain unchanged. This is perhaps a good time for all the singles out there to laugh it up, lay back, and enjoy this love mayhem with a glass of margaritas.
