What Flowers to Gift on Valentine’s Day

without needing a long speech.
If you’re wondering what flowers for Valentine’s Day are best, how early you should
order, or whether you can still get them delivered on time, this guide makes it simple.
You’ll also find a few ready-to-order Valentine picks from our collection, including

How to get your Valentine’s Day flowers right

Before we go flower by flower, here’s a fast “match the mood” cheat sheet:

If you’re not sure: A mixed bouquet with red tones and greenery, it always
works

• Classic romance: Red roses (timeless, bold, unmistakable)
• Modern and elegant: Roses in a box (sleek, luxurious, easy to gift)
• Sweet and playful: Mixed roses, heart-shaped arrangements, gift boxes
• Long-lasting love: Preserved roses (for a keepsake that lasts)

Now let’s break it down properly.

The Best Valentine’s Flowers, And What They Say

Red roses, The Valentine icon

Red roses are the universal symbol of romantic love for a reason. They fit almost any
love story, whether it’s your first Valentine’s together, a long-term relationship, or a
big anniversary where you want the message to be loud and clear. If you want to
keep it classic, Nash Medium Fresh Roses is a strong choice. If you’re aiming for
something more elevated and “gift-ready” the moment it arrives, a rose box is the
upgrade that instantly feels more premium.

Rose boxes, The most “wow” gift with zero effort

If you want the gift to look luxurious the second it’s delivered, a rose box does the
job. It’s elegant, modern, and designed to feel like a complete present without
needing a vase or extra setup. That’s why it’s such a popular pick for romantic
surprises, special nights, and moments where you want to impress. Our Heart Box
with Fresh Roses is one of the most Valentine-coded options, it’s bold, romantic, and
perfect if you want that instant “wow.”

Pink roses, Soft, romantic, and thoughtful

Pink roses are romantic, but they’re gentler than red. They’re a great way to say “I
care about you” without going too intense, which makes them ideal for newer relationships or a first Valentine’s together. They also work beautifully if you want
something sweet and flattering rather than dramatic. If you’re choosing pink,
consider a hatbox-style arrangement and add a short handwritten note, it makes the
gift feel more personal and intentional.

Mixed rose bouquets, More personal

A mixed rose bouquet feels less “standard Valentine’s” and more like you actually
chose it for them. The colors can shift the mood, romantic with reds and blush tones,
cheerful with brighter mixes, or modern with softer palettes. This is a great option if
your partner loves variety, if they’re more style-focused, or if you know they don’t
love the super traditional red-only look. Mixed arrangements also let you match the
bouquet to their personality, which is exactly why they feel more personal.

Preserved roses, A keepsake that lasts

Fresh flowers are about the moment. Preserved roses are about the memory.
They’re designed to last far longer than fresh blooms, so they’re perfect if you want
the gift to stay visible on a desk, shelf, or nightstand as a reminder long after
Valentine’s Day. They’re especially meaningful for long-distance relationships or
when you want something romantic that also feels like decor. If that’s the vibe you
want, explore the preserved roses options in the Valentine collection, they’re ideal for
“flowers that stay.”
