Valentine’s Day is THE season to express feelings for one another with flowers. As a DIY florist, it is the perfect time to take advantage of a large volume of orders to explore new ideas and offer a wider variety of floral designs to your customers! In this guide, we will show you the most popular Valentine’s Day ideas for bouquet styles and color that will have a lasting impact.
1. Classic Valentine’s Red Rose Bouquets
When your customers think of the words “Valentine’s Day Flowers”, red roses are what’s bound to come to mind. You can always make a regular dozen bouquet or one with 200+ roses and still it would be the most iconic choice for Valentine’s Day. To take your bouquets to another level, mix in some greenery such as Italian Ruscus, or Israeli Ruscus. For a bigger bouquet adding Leather Leaf will do the trick; but if you really want to blow your customers away this year, add fillers such as Baby’s Breath, Sunflowers, or Lilies for that wow factor that everyone is hoping for. These fillers go well with any bouquet of any size.
2. Valentine’s Pretty in Pink: Blush and Pastel Bouquets
Pink symbolizes admiration and gratitude, making them easy to advertise as bouquets for newer relationships or gestures of friendship. Pastel shades like blush, soft peach, and pale lavender create a light, airy, and romantic combination that is perfect for that modern Valentine’s Day flower arrangement that younger generations will enjoy.
Popular flowers for these bouquets include:
Pink Roses: A great alternative to red, with a toned-down meaning.
Carnations: Offer texture and charm without being overwhelming.
Lisianthus: The perfect blend of elegance and delicacy, while adding depth to your masterpiece.
Pompoms: Are the definition of joy that never goes out of style.
3. White Valentine’s Day Bouquets
White bouquets are a symbol of timeless love and elegance which is why their popularity has been skyrocketing lately. This would be the perfect bouquet for a couple that prefers a minimalist style or something that completely stands out from the regular arrangement. White roses, calla lilies, and hydrangeas come together in a perfect symphony to create the most stunning all-white bouquet that exudes understated beauty. To take this one more step further, complement it with some greenery such as silver dollar eucalyptus, dusty miller, or a delicate touch of lily grass.
4. Modern Valentine’s Mixed Bouquets
The purpose of a mixed bouquet is to showcase different flowers in one spectacular bouquet. Look for a wider variety of textures and colors to leave the norm of the conventional red roses. By combining fillers like carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums, lisianthus, and stock with a variety of greenery and just a couple of roses, you are bound to create a timeless masterpiece. You can play around with different color palettes like romantic shades of blush pink, deep burgundy, and white. Alternatively, bright pops of orange, yellow, or purple can represent joy, energy, and admiration, making the bouquet stand out even more. Due to their dynamic and vibrant appearance, the choices are endless!
5. Non-Traditional Valentine’s Day Colors: Bold and Unique
For those who want to break away from tradition, a bold color bouquet for their Valentine’s is the perfect option. Pairing dark flowers with lighter accents, such as white or blush blooms, adds contrast and balance. Black, burgundy and even purple roses are perfect for creating a memorable statement that breaks all the rules. The perfect pairing can be small flowers like white feverfew, blush spray roses, pink and white lisianthus, and many more! These bouquets are perfect for those customers who appreciate the unconventional beauty that offers a bold romantic statement.
Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to showcase the beauty and versatility of flowers through creative bouquet designs. Whether it’s the classic elegance of red roses, the playful charm of pastel pinks, or the bold statement of non-traditional colors, there’s a bouquet for every love story. For DIY florists, this holiday offers a chance to experiment with new styles, colors, and arrangements that resonate with your customers.
