Making It Personal: The Extra Touches
Choosing the right flowers is just the first step. To really impress your girlfriend, add some personal touches that show you put thought and effort into the gift.
- Write a heartfelt card: Don't just sign your name. Tell her why you love her and why you're grateful to have her in your life.
- Add a small gift: A box of chocolates, a piece of jewelry, or a small trinket that reflects her interests can make the gift even more special.
- Plan a romantic date: Flowers are a great start, but they're even better when paired with a romantic evening. Cook her favorite meal, take her to a special restaurant, or plan a cozy night in with a movie and some wine.
Timing is Everything: When to Order
Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for florists. To ensure you get the arrangement you want and that it's delivered on time, order your flowers well in advance. Aim to place your order at least a week before Valentine's Day, or even earlier if possible. Bloom Boom offers classic rose bouquets perfect for Valentine's Day!
Also, consider having the flowers delivered to her workplace. It's a sweet surprise that will make her feel special all day long. If you choose this option, make sure you know her company's flower delivery policy.
Flower Care Tips: Making Them Last
To help your girlfriend enjoy her Valentine's Day flowers for as long as possible, give her these care tips:
- Trim the stems: Upon receiving the flowers, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to help them absorb water more easily.
- Remove any leaves below the waterline: This will prevent bacteria from growing in the water.
- Change the water every day: Use fresh, cool water and add flower food to help nourish the blooms.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat: These can cause the flowers to wilt faster.
