Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about how to make your husband feel extra special this year. While chocolates and stuffed animals are nice gestures, nothing quite expresses “I love you” like a beautiful, thoughtful bouquet from the flower shop. But with so many options to choose from, how do you select the perfect arrangement to surprise your man?
Follow these tips to find flowers that will make him smile
Consider his favorite color
First and foremost, consider your husband’s favorite color palette. Instead of defaulting to traditional red roses, think about which hues he tends to gravitate towards in his wardrobe or home decor. Then, choose blooms in his favorite shades. Opt for regal purple flowers if that’s his go-to color. Or pick a sunny bouquet of orange and yellow blooms to brighten his day. Combine these blooms with red roses and make your gift more meaningful by selecting flowers in colors you know he genuinely loves.
Reflect his interests.
Next, reflect his unique interests, hobbies, or personality when selecting flowers. If your husband is an outdoor enthusiast, create a rustic, woodsy bouquet with textured blooms like daisies, baby breath, and various greens in combination with valentine’s roses. For the travel lover, go tropical with vibrant orchids, delicate anthurium, and bold birds of paradise combination will be perfect. If he prefers classic to modern, roses and lilies in elegant cuts are a sophisticated option. With so much variety available at the flower shop, you can easily create a customized bouquet that perfectly fits your man.
Factors in His Personality
When deciding on size, consider his confidence and personality. While some outgoing husbands would bask in the glory of a huge, over-the-top bouquet of a dozen red roses, others may be uncomfortable with something so extravagant. Opt for a dramatic, bold statement bouquet if your guy loves being in the spotlight. Or for the modest, shy, or introverted man, just a few stems presented beautifully will make him light up. Pick whatever size arrangement you think he will genuinely appreciate and feel good receiving.
Mind Your Budget
Be sure to keep your budget in mind, as flower costs can quickly add up, especially around Valentine’s Day. But have no fear; there are plenty of affordable options if you know where to look. Talk to the florist about deals and offers on seasonal blooms that are less expensive yet equally romantic. You can also skip the traditional roses altogether for more budget-friendly picks like carnations, daisies, lilies, and gerbera daisies. Opting for a petite bouquet over something grand can also help save money.
Schedule delivery strategically.
When ordering, be sure to schedule delivery for February 14th itself, so the blooms arrive at Valentine’s Day. Late morning delivery is an ideal time, so he can be pleasantly surprised at the office with this gift, but the flowers won’t have to sit outside all day.
Consider the presentation
Presentation and styling matter too, so communicate your preferences to the florist. While some men love a wild, free-flowing bouquet, others prefer symmetrical and structured arrangements. Accents like ribbons or filler flowers can add personality. Or keep it simple and let the blooms be the stars. Consider your husband’s taste and style of personality.
Write a heartfelt note
Most importantly, include a heartfelt card complete with a meaningful handwritten message. Share precious memories, inside jokes, or sincere thoughts straight from the heart. Your personal words and sentiments will mean more to your husband than anything money can buy. Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day flowers for your husband may seem daunting with so many options to choose from a local flower shop. But by keeping his favorite colors, interests, personality, and budget in mind and adding a thoughtful personal touch, you can select a floral gift he’ll truly adore. Show your husband he’s loved and appreciated with a bouquet that reflects his unique spirit. Skip the generic roses this year and treat him to something heartfelt, meaningful, and memorable. The delight on his face when he receives those flowers from you will be enough! With a little creativity and personalization, you can pick blooms that make this Valentine’s Day one he’ll cherish forever.
