Valentine’s flowers: Christchurch celebrating love

Valentine's Day Flowers by Court Florist Christchurch

Are you struggling to find a Valentine's Day gift? It can be tricky. If you are in the throes of a new romance and don't want to be seen as overbearing, if you are in a long-term relationship where nothing seems quite adequate, or perhaps you are admiring someone from afar, finding the best way to show appreciation, admiration - and even deep love - can be problematic.

 

In this age of technology and innovation where we have fingertip access to everything 24/7, there is a pressure to source the greatest show of love and adoration. As people try to find the best Valentine's gifts, the majority return to the trusted original: a beautiful bunch of Valentine's flowers.

 

Valentine's Day flowers are a traditional and romantic way to express love and affection. The act of giving Valentine's Day flowers dates back centuries (a fair bit longer than Court Florist has been doing Valentine's Day flower delivery for Christchurch). Yet they continue to defy fads and trends, Valentine's flowers are ever popular.

 

Why are Valentine's Day flowers the most popular gift?

Perhaps the reason they remain the most popular Valentine’s gift is because the flowers are such a contrast to the high-tech world we live in, or because they are a floral representation of love - natural, beautiful, and something to make you stop and smile.

 

Research has found giving someone flowers cause a release of endorphins which are natural chemicals in the brain associated with feelings of happiness and wellbeing. Receiving a thoughtful and unexpected Valentine gift such as a delivery of Valentine's Day flowers triggers positive emotions.

Which flowers are the best to give for Valentine's Day?

When you are choosing Valentine's flowers, be guided by your loved one's personal preferences and the relationship you have with them. Some of Court Florist's most popular Valentine's flowers include:

 

Roses

The classic Valentine's Day flowers symbolise love and passion.

Tulips

Tulips symbolise love and perfect love which makes them a popular choice.

Lilies

Lilies represent devotion and are often given to express love and affection.

Carnations

Carnations are a symbol of love and fascination - a great choice for someone who you are admiring from afar.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers symbolise adoration and always brighten the recipient's day.

 

There is also a decision to be made about the type of flower arrangement you would like to send. Our creative team at our Victoria Street florist (Christchurch, NZ) are expert at translating your vision into a floral reality, but we have curated a selection of our most popular Valentine’s Day flowers and gifts for you to choose from. From the all-out Romantic Package of sublime roses, divine De Spa chocolates, a luxury perfumed George and Edi soy candle and a bottle of Moet & Chandon to share, a posy of muted pastels radiating charm and natural beauty, through to the powerful and intense gesture of love and passion of a single red rose for delivery.
