Issue 4 - Valentine's Day 2025 Roundup

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
— Hellen Keller

Ah, Valentine’s Day—the one day of the year when flowers and chocolate effortlessly stake their claim in everyone’s minds. Some might call flowers cliché, but we’d argue they’re only as predictable as you make them. With the right mix of color, style, form, and texture, a bouquet can be elevated from the expected to an extraordinary present, imbueing meaning into a simple gesture to create a truly personal experience.

This year, we had the joy of crafting arrangements that were anything but ordinary. Our clients came to us with all sorts of wonderful requests - some seeking timeless elegance, others embracing a more playful and unconventional approach.From delicate, airy compositions to bold, statement-making blooms, each bouquet had its own unique story. Yet, at the heart of them all was a simple message: ‘thinking of you.’

It was a reminder that flowers, much like love, come in many forms—sometimes grand and expressive, other times subtle and understated. We were honored to bring these sentiments to life through our designs, capturing the various shades of personalities and the dynamics of each relationship. Whether a moment of joy, appreciation, or affection, every bouquet was a reflection of the bond it celebrated.

So, without further ado, here’s a glimpse at some of our favorite floral moments from this Valentine’s—because flowers, like gestures of appreciation, should always carry a touch of fun and a hint of surprise.

 

Whimsical Meadow – Free-spirited Burst of Color

This arrangement was a celebration of color and texture, freely mixing ranunculus, alliums, tanacetum, and trailing amaranthus gave it an effortless, just-plucked-from-a-wildflower-field charm. Tucked quietly within are soft shades of pink tulips and dainty oxypetalum blooms, adding layers of depth. The gentle movement of flowing didiscus and veronicas lends an air of freshness and adventure, capturing the spirit of fun in romance.

Sundays & Lemonades – A Sip of Golden Light

This one had us at first glance. Wrapped in soft whites and bursting with cheerful yellow tulips, delicate tanacetums, and a lush tangle of greenery, it’s like holding a pocket of sunshine. We love how its unconventional palette brings an effortless kind of joy—playful, radiant, and impossible to ignore. It reminds us of slow Sunday mornings, spontaneous belly laughs, and the warmth of golden light streaming through a window. Every time we look at it, life feels just a little bit lighter and brighter. And honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

 

Blush Romance – Classic with a Contemporary Twist

It’s a bouquet that feels natural yet refined, striking a balance between classic and contemporary—proof that some color stories never lose their charm, they simply evolve.

 

Muted Murmurs – Understated Elegance

For those drawn to something beyond the usual pinks and reds, this arrangement offered a softer, more introspective take on romance.

This bouquet is a reminder that romance isn’t defined by a single color—it exists in many shades, moods, and expressions. While familiar palettes bring comfort, there’s something captivating about stepping into the unexpected. And that’s why this remains one of our favorites—an invitation to explore the softer, more nuanced side of love, one steeped in tenderness, affection, and quiet femininity.

Then there’s this dark beauty, and we’re in awe. This bouquet of deep crimson and velvety black blooms with unique textures comes together in the most striking way to bring a sense of refined elegance that’s impossible to overlook. Its richness feels both bold and luxurious, exuding romance in its most indulgent form. It’s the floral equivalent of candlelit dinners, a glass of deep red wine, stolen glances and a love that’s as intense as it is unforgettable.
