Sending Valentine’s Day Flowers
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you’re asking yourself: “What can I get this year to make the day really special?”, then we have some ideas that you really might like.
Although it might seem that sending flowers is all a bit of a cliché, these days when social media is taking a firm hold on the world and the way we interact with each other, sending flowers is actually becoming rarer and rarer. Texting, facebooking and even tweeting your affections is very much the norm, which is why we believe if you want to stand out from the crowd and go for WOW then sending your Valentine flowers is actually going to win you big points.
Our Valentine’s Day flower bouquets have been designed by experts, will be individually created and then hand delivered by a local florist who will even hand write your message on a gift card ensuring your gift has that oh so important personal touch that is sure to speak volumes.
So, I guess the big question is: “What kind of flowers do I send?” Well, traditionally Valentine’s Day is all about red roses. A single red rose for a single word “love”. 3 red roses for “I love you” and of course a dozen red roses representing a complete cycle (12 signs of the zodiac, 12 months of the year, 12 hours on a clock face) and therefore “complete love”.
For those who want to break away from tradition then there are always alternatives. We have an incredible range of beautiful hot red, passionate pink and purple bouquets that are simply bound to melt hearts.
But, if you’re looking for something a little extra, then check out our Valentine Flower Gift Sets. An “I love you” balloon, cute brown teddy bear and a box of delicious milk chocolates can complete your flower gift and will certainly stand out, especially if you are sending flowers to her place of work.
Of course if money is no object, then you might be interested in our luxurious red rose bouquets: 2 dozen red roses, or go for full on WOW with 50 red roses, each of these fantastic statement bouquets are completed with a generous sprinkling of Diamante.
Favourite Flowers of the Rich & Famous

Celebrity dressing room demands often make headlines when crazy or outlandish diva requests are revealed. Flowers are among the tamer ‘wants’ but what are the favourite flowers of the rich and famous?
Elton John is renowned for his penchant for floristry. Rumour has it he buys fresh flowers every day. In his dressing room however, it seems he just needs one large arrangement of colourful flowers but no carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums or daisies, thank you very much.
Paris Hilton particularly loves pink we know but it seems that carnations and roses are her favourite flowers.
Jennifer Lopez tops the list of diva demands, requesting that her dressing room is completely white with white furniture, drapes, candles, lilies and roses.
Katy Perry is another celebrity who likes fresh flowers every day, preferably white and purple hydrangeas, pink and white roses or peonies but most definitely not carnations.
Madonna on the other hand does not like hydrangeas as one fan recently found out.
The media hype this caused prompted the Queen of Pop to hit back with a tribute to the flower itself. Here is Madonna’s love letter to the humble hydrangea:
Birthday Flowers
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Flowers are universally appreciated and are a popular choice when it comes to birthday presents. Although some may say that they have a limited shelf life, the instant lift a bouquet of flowers can give can be priceless. They can also be a great conversation piece ensuring that the sentiment is remembered for years to come.
But how do you go about choosing the right birthday flowers to send? Consider the character of the person you are picking the flowers for. What kind of personality do they have? For those that like to be the centre of attention or if you want to make a real statement, then you might want to think about sending flowers to their place of work for maximum impact. Furthermore, adding a balloon, box of chocolates and a vase would increase the wow factor and draw attention to the receiver.
Obviously the choice of flowers is important too, so consider not only the colour but the scent and variety. White lilies for example are more traditionally associated with funerals but pink lilies, if sending to a woman or roses to a partner would be perfect.
Although not necessarily the first thing you may think of to buy a man for his birthday, flowers and more particularly plants are becoming increasingly popular. Children too would appreciate Im sure a beautiful bright gift of flowers presented to them on their birthday, especially if it came with a cuddly toy, balloon or sweets.
If you struggle to know what would be the kind of flowers to send to a friend or relative then you might want to take inspiration from the birthstone of the month. The appropriate flower or bouquet of the month makes the choice much easier.
