When Romance Meets Reality: Choosing the Right Flowers for the Right Person

One of our clients once shared something very real with us.

She used to think she was a romantic at heart — and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. She imagined herself enjoying the slow life, always surrounded by fresh flowers, lovingly changing the vase water, adding flower food, trimming stems, and taking the time each day to care for them.

Until she realized… she actually doesn’t like that.

After all, when you’re getting home from work at 9pm on weekdays after endless overtime, do you really have the energy to fuss over a bouquet? And when those flowers finally wilt, oh my — how many days (or weeks) does it take before you find the time to clear them away?

The truth is, many of us love the idea of being a romantic, but not everyone has the lifestyle or patience for it — and that’s perfectly okay. Beauty should still be accessible to everyone, but in a way that fits their life.

That’s why we always remind our customers: before gifting a bouquet, take a moment to think about the recipient.

• Will they truly enjoy caring for fresh flowers every day?

• Or would a preserved bouquet — one that requires little to no maintenance — suit them better?

Gift-giving should always be thoughtful. The best gifts reflect an understanding of the recipient’s life, needs, and personality. It shows care not just for the gift itself, but for the relationship it represents.

So the next time you’re choosing flowers for someone special, don’t hesitate to ask what they’d prefer. And if you’re unsure, consult your florist — we’re here to help you make sure your gift truly speaks from the heart.

Because at the end of the day, flowers are not just about romance — they’re about thoughtfulness. 🌷
