Flowers, doing the talking

My first Valentine's day and a lovely opportunity to work with the prettiest roses, to work with some generous gents and meet some beautiful ladies.

Floral storytelling

Valentine’s Day isn’t about grand gestures or getting it perfect. It’s about pausing, noticing, and choosing each other, again and again.

For centuries, flowers have told love stories. Long before texts and emojis, they carried unspoken messages of desire, admiration, comfort and devotion.

Today, I let the blooms speak for me.

I chose flowers because they don’t shout,

they speak softly, and they say:

I see you.

I choose you.

I love you!

Flower selection and symbolism

This year’s Valentine’s bouquets tell a story of love that’s romantic, thoughtful, real and deeply felt.

The flowers chosen for you include:

Red Roses

Symbolising deep love, passion and devotion.

Bold, timeless, impossible to ignore.

Pink & Blush Roses

Symbolising admiration, tenderness

and the joy of loving gently.

White Roses

Symbolising honesty, purity and meaningful beginnings.

Warrior Grass

Symbolising strength, protection and loyalty.

A quiet reminder that love stands tall.

Eucalyptus parvifolia

Symbolising healing, renewal and calm.

A grounding presence, wrapping everything together.
