Valentine’s Flowers FAQ

Valentine’s Day brings a lot of lovely ideas, and just as many questions. Over the past 30 years, we’ve found that most people are not looking for “the perfect bouquet” so much as they’re looking for the right feeling, at the right moment.
Below are the questions we’re most often asked, with calm, practical answers to help you choose confidently.

  • Choosing the right timing

  • Weekend Valentine’s

  • Roses and alternatives

  • Delivery and freshness

  • Long-lasting flowers

  • Flowers alongside dinner or a getaway

Choosing the right timing

Is it okay to send Valentine’s flowers before Valentine’s Day?
Yes. Many people choose earlier delivery so the feeling carries into the weekend rather than being confined to a single evening.

Is it weird to send flowers the day before Valentine’s Day?
Not at all. Earlier delivery is often perceived as considered and thoughtful, especially when it suits your plans.

When should I order Valentine’s flowers for delivery?
The earlier you order, the more choice you tend to have. If you have a preferred delivery day or time, placing your order ahead helps secure it.

Weekend Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is on a weekend. Do flowers still make sense?
Yes. Flowers work beautifully on weekends because they can be enjoyed across a longer stretch of time, rather than as a single moment.

How do I make weekend Valentine’s feel special without overdoing it?
Think in layers. A simple gesture early sets the tone, and the rest of your plans can unfold naturally.

Roses and alternatives

Do Valentine’s flowers have to be roses?
No. Roses are traditional, but many people choose alternatives that feel more personal, last longer, or suit the recipient’s style.

Are roses still a good choice if Valentine’s Day falls on a weekend?
Yes. Roses remain a timeless expression of romance and are often chosen when someone wants the gesture to feel clear and intentional.

What are romantic alternatives to roses?
Thoughtfully designed mixed bouquets, elegant orchids, and long-lasting native flowers can feel just as meaningful, simply in a different style.

Delivery and freshness

Should I choose delivery or pick-up for Valentine’s?
Both work. Delivery is ideal if you want the gesture to arrive without effort. Pick-up suits those who prefer to give flowers in person as part of the day.

Can I send flowers to an office or workplace?
Often, yes. It depends on the recipient’s workplace and delivery details. If you are unsure, choose a location where someone can receive them.

Long-lasting flowers

Which flowers last best over Valentine’s weekend?
Australian natives and orchids are known for their longevity and resilience. Structured mixed bouquets also tend to perform well over several days.

Do roses last as long as other flowers?
Roses can last well, but they are generally more sensitive to heat and handling than some longer-lasting flower types.

Flowers alongside dinner or a getaway

If I’ve already planned dinner or a weekend away, are flowers still necessary?
Flowers do not compete with your plans. They often shape how the day begins, easing pressure and adding meaning before anything else starts.

What is a good flower choice to pair with a dinner reservation or weekend away?
Choose flowers that suit relaxed timing and longevity. Natives, orchids, or a well-designed mixed bouquet tend to work beautifully.


If you’d like help choosing, start with the moment you’re creating: something classic, something long-lasting, or something quietly elegant. Flowers do not need to be complicated to be meaningful.
