Your sweetheart will enjoy this stunning arrangement for over a week—both for its impressive size and delightful scent. I tested the Dream Date bouquet from Bouqs, and it was the most fragrant flower delivery I’ve ever received. A medley of Oriental lilies, pink roses and red anemones brings the hues of the holiday to life. Plus, your order includes a free vase! Even more impressive? My arrangement’s delivery was delayed due to a winter storm, yet the buds were so well-wrapped that the extra two days in transit didn’t impact the bouquet’s longevity.

Ooh la la! Our Product Testing Team was wowed by this fragrant Felice arrangement featuring white and pink roses, pink alstroemeria and lisianthus, pink veronica and baby blue eucalyptus. Prior to delivery, Ode a la Rose sent us a photo update of the bouquet once it was ready to ship. We absolutely loved this feature as it allows the sender to see what the recipient will receive before it even arrives! While one of the spendier options, the luxurious feel of this flower delivery service justifies the premium price.

While peony season is still a few months away, you can send your valentine a sneak peek! Editor Madi Koetting tested the Grower’s Choice bouquet from Urbanstems, which includes three hues of the darling bud: magenta, pink and white. “I was impressed by the color variety of the peonies,” shared Madi. “They were moist and closed upon delivery, offering several days of enjoyment as they bloomed.” Assembly was a bit of a craft project, but the end result was worth the effort.

For the price, this bouquet offers an impressive value. Not only does the From You Flowers Southern Peach bouquet arrive pre-arranged, but it also includes a healthy mix of stems. Your sweetheart will enjoy roses, lilies and mini carnations. There’s even a succulent tucked inside, which our Product Testing Team noted is an additional gift that can last long after the rest of the blooms die.

Wild child, this one’s for you! A mix of roses, anemones, ranunculus and lisianthus—all in pops of red—will add a touch of passion to your Valentine’s Day. The Cosmo bouquet is a fun twist on a classic dozen red roses. While a few fragile buds broke off the bouquet in transit, it was still lush, especially after the arrangement had a few days to open.

White roses symbolize new love. So if this is the first Valentine’s Day you’re spending together, splurge on an all-white arrangement like this Glowing bouquet from Bouqs. In addition to roses, your sweetheart will enjoy a mix of white snapdragons, lilies, mini hydrangeas and greenery. I tested this bouquet as part of a flower subscription and was awed by its freshness. It lasted for well over a week with proper care.
FAQ
What flowers are popular for Valentine’s Day?
Roses, particularly red roses, are the quintessential Valentine’s Day flower. But many arrangements also feature lilies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, peonies or other blooms. Color is important, too, with most classic Valentine’s Day flowers consisting of hues of pink, red, white and purple. That said—buy what will put a smile on your sweetheart’s face! Everything from a plant club to a giant bouquet of sunflowers is appropriate if it’s tailored to your valentine’s specific interests.
When should I buy flowers for Valentine’s Day?
If you’re eyeing a Valentine’s Day flower delivery, order early! Local florists and online bouquet merchants accept scheduled Valentine’s Day deliveries weeks in advance. If you’re looking to buy a bouquet in person, head to the store a day or two in advance. Not only is selection better, but the blooms will have a chance to fully open for the maximum “wow” factor.
