This Valentine’s Day, forget the predictable chocolates and lingerie – say it with flowers instead. (Or better yet, give all three.) Of all the timeless romantic gestures, sending a bouquet still feels the most meaningful. Most of us can remember the first time we were given flowers: maybe a childhood crush and a single charity rose, a partner filling the house with fragrant tulips, a friend celebrating a milestone, or a grandparent sending birthday wishes from afar. However it happened, one thing’s certain – flowers are a heartfelt gift that’s always remembered and never unappreciated.

Red roses may be the classic Valentine’s choice, but they’re far from the only way to express your love. Think outside the vase: go bold, stay unexpected, or let your florist work their magic with the best seasonal stems. Like a perfectly made mixtape, the most thoughtful arrangements are the ones that feel personal.

Ahead, discover our handpicked edit of the best Australian florists for Valentine’s Day blooms that you – and your loved ones – truly deserve.
