valentines day flowers

Think outside the box when it comes to Valentines Day flower ideas and opt for a deep jewel tone, like these dahlias. Rich hues like these bring warmth to your home but still stay within a palette that works for winter months.

Use stemless wineglasses to create this easy and colorful floral display. Cut rose stems close to the bloom and place in an inch of water in each glass. Line up glasses on a mantel or arrange on the dining table. Brightly colored flowers will pop, while lighter shades lend a subtler look.

Do something unexpected for Valentines Day by adding vibrant purple cabbage to your arrangement. Many flowers arent in peak season during the winter months supplementing a bouquet with cabbage and artichokes easily adds texture and color.

Sometimes simple arrangements are the most beautiful. Start with an on trend metallic vase, and select blooming roses for a full but easy bouquet. Pick your roses a few days prior to Valentines Day so theyll have time to open before the holiday.

Is your valentine not the type who likes tending plants? Succulents are a lower maintenance option that will last a long time and look great on a coffee table or desk. Intersperse some succulents with tinges of red to keep in the Valentines Day theme.

A dozen red roses remains the classic Valentines Day favorite. However, many women report that they adore roses in other colors just as much. There are hundreds of colors to choose from. The choices are endless and its easier than ever to select a rose that is as unique as your sweetheart.

There are several ways to add a personal touch to the classic red roses. There is a plethora of red shades and textures available from deep burgundy to pert reds with orange undertones. Ask your florist to create a unique arrangement you can even bring in your favorite container from home for a custom designed arrangement.
