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.”
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.

The gentle movement of flowing didiscus and veronicas lends an air of freshness and adventure, capturing the spirit of fun in romance.
