Bouquet & A Date: How To Match Their Flowers To Their Love Style
When love is in full bloom on anniversaries (any kind), Valentine’s Day, big date nights, or those random “just because I adore you” days, flowers are 100 percent the move. Famous red roses, blooms that throw back to your wedding arrangements, or their favorite hues bursting from every stem all proclaim “I’m obsessed with you.” Selecting the most flawless arrangement feels a lot like writing a love note, only prettier. The next move matters just as much: planning a top-tier delivery. At Absolutely Beautiful Flowers in St. Petersburg, Florida, we live for turning cute gestures into core memories. If you swear by the five love languages (shout out to Gary Chapman), seven styles of romance (a newer addition), or their number one hobby inspires the moment, we have romantic ideas ready to blossom.
Pair Flowers with a Love Note, Poem, or Song Lyrics
For anyone whose main love language is words of affirmation, sincere sentences can land harder than any grand gesture. A love note scrawled on sweet stationary, a poem you recite to them out loud, or a line or two from “your” song can replay in their head for weeks. Now match that energy with flowers. Go old school (in the best way) with a bouquet of crimson roses for classic romance, or pick seasonal blooms in dreamy, muted shades for that slow-burn, storybook type of love. Write it all down on a card, or read them slowly while you hand over the bouquet like the total romantic you are.
Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat
Weekdays are pure chaos sometimes, especially when your partner is clocking in at the office all five days. Instead of letting them slip into the same old post work routine, flip the script with a romantic surprise: an actual night off. Phone in backup if you have children or pets, straighten up the house, maybe knock out the laundry or dishes so they don’t need to think about it. If acts of service is their love language or they lean practical with their romance style, this is their moment. Then whisk them out for a stress free date night, bouquet of fresh flowers in hand.
Plan an Adventurous Day Together
If our first batch of ideas didn’t quite hit the mark, we feel you. Some partners are just built for activities, QT, and big shared moments, so it’s time to go all out. Think about their ever-growing bucket list or that hobby they talk about all the time but never start, then lock it in. Show up with fresh flowers, like cool, always dramatic orchids, as the “official invite.” The bouquet teases the adventure and acts as a reminder of the amazing adventure that’s coming. Windsurfing, rock climbing, wandering a new city, or a picnic with an unreal view will feel like a total main character day.
Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together
If baking or cooking together is totally the way to their heart, or if food is 100 percent their love language, turn date night into a kitchen takeover. Stock up on all the ingredients for their favorite dish (or something new you’ll figure out together). Set the scene with cozy lighting, a good playlist, aprons that match (so cute), and a bouquet from the flower shop on the counter. Lay everything out so when they come in, you can start right away. You’ll have a total blast as you’re chopping, stirring, taste-testing, laughing, and low-key flirting while you cook. Honestly, it’s the kind of memory that sticks.
Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long
Why stop at a single bouquet when you can literally put the love on a monthly loop? A flower subscription says “You’re on my mind” over and over. It’s super great for long-distance couples, constant gift-givers, or folks whose love language = gifts or genuine emotional support. For marking a milestone, sending support during a tough moment, or just brightening up their day-to-day, fresh florals + a sweet note can totally keep the romance glowing. And honestly, blooms aren’t just for anniversaries and holidays. They’re for Mondays, midweek slumps, and all those little everyday moments that legit deserve a celebration.
How you deliver the flowers to your sweetie matters as much as the bouquet itself, which is why we’re coming in hot with inspo for your next romantic surprise. At Absolutely Beautiful Flowers, we’ll make sure that the bouquet arrive on time and on point, allowing your to take the delivery to the next level, making them feel like the royalty they are.
