As Valentine’s Day finds its way back onto our calendars, creeping up on us as it fills the air with romance, it’s time to order those fresh, passionate, and beautiful blooms for your sweetheart. Of course, red roses are timeless and iconic, as are the flowers you chose for your wedding day or very first date, or simply their favorite stems blossoming in their favorite colors. While selecting the perfect arrangement can feel like writing a sweet love story, planning a grand surprise delivery is like watching it come to life on the big screen! So how do you make delivering flowers a personal experience that speaks right to their heart? The romance experts at Pam’s Posies, the premier florist in Akron, are sharing a few fun delivery ideas inspired by Gary Chapman’s love languages, modern romance styles, and even their passions or hobbies.

Pair Flowers with a Love Note, Poem, or Song Lyrics

Love notes can be long and deeply personal, they can be a poem, or they can be as short and sweet as a single song lyric. No matter how you choose to express yourself, pairing flowers with a card message from the heart is the perfect way to speak the love language of someone with a words of affirmation or appreciation romance style. Coupled with an arrangement showcasing passionate reds or one featuring soft seasonal blooms, your words will stay with them forever. Cue the romance, and cue the happy tears.

Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat

Romantic gestures don’t have to be over-the-top, but they do have to be thoughtful. If your partner’s love language is acts of service or they have a more practical romance style, consider taking things off their plate after a long day at work. Pick them up after their shift with vibrant flowers waiting for them on the passenger seat and a plan that gives them the night off. Handle the dinner, get the house in order, and tag in reinforcements for the kid or pet chaos. It’s a floral delivery that’s full of heart and care, and sometimes, that’s the most romantic thing of all.

Plan an Adventurous Day Together

For the one who craves adventure, prioritizes quality time, and feels deeply connected after a shared experience, planning a day exploring together is the best surprise. Think back to a class they’ve been wanting to take (a dance class or pottery), an experience they have on their bucket list (skydiving, perhaps?), or a nearby town you’ve been meaning to wander hand-in-hand. Flowers, of course, set the tone of the day! Surprise them with something exciting, like orchids or anthuriums, first thing in the morning as you reveal the adventurous plans.

Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together

If your partner lights up when they’re baking, cooking, or hosting the people they love, lean into that energy for date night. When food (or quality time) is their love language, the most thoughtful and romantic gesture is obvious! Grab those matching aprons, display a grand bouquet of fresh flowers to warm up the kitchen, and have a recipe ready to go. Prep the ingredients, cue a playlist, and welcome them with the scent of something tasty and the feeling of being treasured. By the end, you’ll have a home-cooked meal, sweet memories, and a gorgeous floral centerpiece to tie it all together.

Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long

Who says romance and roses only get one day on the calendar? Let’s keep that love blooming all year long! A flower subscription is the sweetest way to show up again and again for the one you adore, especially if you’re doing long-distance and want to feel close across the miles. It’s also a total win if their love language is receiving gifts, because, let’s be real, nothing is better than a steady reminder that they’re seen and cared for. With seasonal stems arriving regularly, their home and their heart stay filled with beauty, joy, and love.

No matter how you express love (through words, actions, gifts, or quality time), Pam’s Posies makes it easy to show you know and understand them like nobody else.
