Why Roses Aren’t The Only Flowers To Gift On Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is the time of year when love is celebrated, and flowers are often at the forefront of this celebration. Traditionally, English roses have taken centre stage as the flower of choice, symbolising love, romance, and passion.

However, at NB Flowers, we believe that Valentine’s Day flowers can go beyond the classic rose. While English Roses are beautiful and timeless, many alternative flowers can add a personal and unique touch to your gift, reflecting a deeper connection and thoughtfulness.

So, whether it’s your Valentine or you are thinking outside the box to surprise your loved one, the unique Valentine’s flowers that we are going to share today will perfectly go beyond the typical expectations.

Our expert florists are ready to assist if you still need help finding the perfect Valentine’s Day flowers or want something that breaks tradition while exuding sophistication. Call us on 020 3202 0005 or email us at info@nbflowers.co.uk, and we’ll help you create a flower arrangement that’s as unique and personal as your love story.

Best Flowers For Valentine’s Day Other Than The Roses

While English roses have undoubtedly earned their place as the quintessential flower for Valentine’s Day, it’s important to remember that plenty of alternative flowers can make a lasting impression. Here are a few of our favourites that you’ll love:

1. Tulips – A Modern Twist On Romance

Tulips have become one of the best flowers for Valentine’s Day for those looking for a modern yet elegant option. With their smooth, soft petals and rich colour spectrum, Tulips convey a sense of springtime renewal and fresh beginnings. Available in shades of pink, red, and white, tulips symbolise perfect love, making them an ideal choice for couples who appreciate the understated beauty of this flower. Their simple elegance and timeless charm are perfect for expressing your deep affection.

You can customise our Sensational and Glorious flower bouquets with exquisite tulips, making them the perfect gift to celebrate your special someone.

2. Orchids – A Symbol Of Elegance And Love

Orchids have a rich history of representing love, beauty, and strength, making them an excellent choice for romantic flower gifts. Their exotic appearance and wide range of colours, from soft pinks and purples to deep reds, make Orchids a luxurious alternative to English Roses. They convey a sophisticated and enduring love beyond the typical Valentine’s Day gift. Whether looking for a delicate Phalaenopsis Orchid bouquet or a more dramatic arrangement, Orchids add elegance that speaks volumes about your affection.

3. Lilies – Grace And Beauty

If you’re looking for something with a little more drama and grandeur, lilies are an incredible choice. Lilies’ striking shape and fragrance convey beauty, purity, and refined elegance. White lilies are a classic choice for Valentine’s Day, representing purity and devotion, while pink or orange lilies bring warmth, charm, and positivity to any arrangement. When combined with English roses or orchids, lilies make a stunning statement. Their beautiful blooms and intoxicating fragrances will leave a lasting impression, making them the perfect gift for someone special.

4. Other Beautiful Alternatives

While the flowers mentioned above may dominate the typical Valentine’s Day bouquets, we have several other flowers that can make your gift even more special. Some other beautiful alternative flowers include:

• Amaryllis – With their striking, bold petals, amaryllis can add dramatic flair to your Valentine’s Day arrangement.
• Hydrangeas – Offering a fuller, more whimsical look, hydrangeas bring softness and texture to any bouquet.

Each flower brings charm and significance, allowing you to create a bouquet that reflects your relationship. Whether it’s a gift of tulips, orchids, or a stunning mix of unique blooms, you can be sure your flowers will stand out.
