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.
Valentine’s Day Flowers and Gift Sets
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
We have just launched our 2012 Valentine’s Day flower collection online, which includes classics such as a single red rose and bouquets of a dozen red roses but we’ve also brought back some of our most popular arrangements from last year too. The ‘Hearts and Flowers’ 3 red rose and sisal love heart collar vase arrangement was huge in 2011 and of course we’ve included in the range our much favoured ‘Rose & Lily Classic’ pink aquapack bouquet.
Valentine’s Day is not just about red roses though so we have a great selection of less traditional but equally beautiful red and pink bouquets. ‘Pure Passion’ for example is a rich and passionate bouquet of deep reds, purples and pinks.
We’ve also included for the first time a selection of Valentine flower gift sets. Giving some of the more traditional Valentine flower arrangements a bit of a twist, we’ve created a fantastic selection of romantic floral gifts that are sure to make an impact this Valentine’s Day.
But if you’re going for full on WOW this year, then we have just the bouquet for you. ‘Ultimate Love’ is a fantastically generous aquapack bouquet of 50 absolutely stunning red roses, sparkling with Diamante.

Flower colours – setting the tone
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Did you know that the colours we surround ourselves with affect our mood? Its true, colours have psychological properties. Extensive research shows that colours can evoke particular moods and emotions in all of us.
Here’s a quick overview of what the main colours mean in flower arrangements. You might want to take note before choosing flowers to buy for a friend or relative, lover or colleague – just to be sure you are sending them the right message!
Red
Typically associated with love and romance, red is the dominating colour when it comes to Valentine’s Day flowers and arrangements. Red is a warm, energetic, stimulating colour that evokes excitement. It’s the colour of power. It’s attention grabbing and can raise the pulse rate, which makes it ideal for sentiments of love and devotion.
Blue
Blue on the other hand has a calmness quality about it. It’s the colour of intelligence and communication, of trust and reflection. It’s mentally stimulating and is apparently the most favoured of all colours. This makes in a perfect choice for Congratulation flower bouquets or for sending flowers to work colleagues.
Yellow
Yellow is a bright, sunny and optimistic colour. It’s a friendly colour that signifies strength, confidence and creativity. It’s a perfect colour for thank you flower bouquets or get well soon sentiments. If picking flowers for friends, it’s ideal.
Orange
Orange is the colour of warmth, fun and comfort so it really is ideal when sending flowers to friends and family.
Purple
A spiritual colour often associated with luxury and wealth, even royalty. Purple is a thoughtful colour, encouraging deep contemplation even meditation. Purple is a great choice for birthday flowers.
Pink
Pink like red, is the colour of love. More soothing than red, pink represents the nurturing and physically soothing side of red. It’s a feminine colour which makes it an ideal choice when sending flowers to your Mum, wife, girlfriend or best friend.
White
White is of course a clean, delicate, pure, simplistic colour. It’s the colour of sophistication and clarity. Take care though because it can of course be cold and is widely used in funeral flower arrangements.
Colourful
If in doubt, you can always opt for a colour flower bouquet. A versitile choice which can work for most situations, although probably not suited for sympathy tributes.
