For anyone in the flower industry, February is a month dominated by Valentine’s Day; we’re deluged with red Roses, pink Tulips, and all the trappings of traditional romance. This can be overwhelming, but for me it also serves as a reminder of what weddings are all about: romance.

The day when you pledge your undying love can be many things; it can be traditional, elegant, casual, intimate, extravagant, or all of the above, but what’s most important is that it’s all about the two of you. Your wedding (and by extension, the flowers you choose) should reflect the character of your individual romance, not just what tradition dictates.

If you love Roses, then indulge and surround yourself with their lush blossoms, but if they aren’t your cup of tea, remember that other flowers can be just as romantic. Oriental Lilies have an irresistible and intoxicating scent, and their exotic blooms can be both elegant and sensual. The red and white blossoms of Stargazer Lilies were one of our bestsellers this Valentine’s Day, and simple white Calla Lilies are becoming a staple of modern weddings.

If it’s meaningful to you, any flower can become an emblem of your love; you might choose the flowers that were on the table at your first date, or try to recreate a memorable bouquet. Your flowers are just one of the many opportunities you have to make a wedding that’s unique and memorable, perfectly tailored to your individual taste.
