“We are a great match” Send a mixed bouquet of red and white roses to our Valentine to signify unity.
Pink Rose
Symbolism: sweetness, affection, and femininity
Pink roses are a safe choice to send to someone who you haven’t shared the ‘L’ word with. Just as romantic a gesture as giving red roses but without the depth of sentiment. Pink roses show real appreciation, grace, admiration, and gentleness. Pretty pink blooms are a very girly choice, and make a lovely gesture to make sure they feel loved, even if it is just a friendly token of affection. You can present white roses to your date in a Flowers.ie glass vase, or consider gifting a classy Flowers.ie hatbox filled with white roses.
Sunflowers
Symbolism: Devotion, loyalty, loving friendship
Of course, if you’re celebrating platonic love—say, for Galentine's Day —you’ll want to go with something that signifies friendship. Skip the red roses and go for sunflowers. Yellow is the color of true friendship. Yellow roses can also signify new beginnings and remembrance, but on Valentine’s Day, this color is often chosen when sending roses to a close friend. The color yellow radiates joy and positive energy, and can brighten up anyone's day, especially if they are recently single. The joyful & cheerful Sunflowers symbolize devotion and loyalty, and also makes them a symbol of positivity and hope for the future, ideal to give to someone you plan on having a long relationship with. It’s also a really touching way to show your love for a friend who’s been there for you! Since yellow is the color of friendship, it’s a really good way to show your friend how much you love them!
