The
Guy’s Guide To Valentine’s Day: Picking The Perfect Flowers...according to Kensington Florals & Events
It’s a
simple, universal truth: men despise Valentine’s Day as much as women love
it. As every guy knows, planning and
shopping for this Hallmark holiday can create a ridiculous amount of stress. It doesn’t matter whether your Valentine’s
Day date is your wife or a gal you recently started seeing, flowers are a
must! According to floral expert,
Victoria Thanoukos, there are two assumptions men make when it comes to
Valentine’s Day flowers: red roses are NOT the best way to go and a beautiful
bouquet doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
“It’s a myth that a gorgeous flower arrangement has to break the bank,”
she says. Just in time for February 14th,
Victoria has some tips for avoiding the dreaded “you screwed up the most
romantic day of the year” fight and get it right.
For The Trendy Girl…Radiant Orchid
Gain
serious points by giving her a bouquet of these stunning purple flowers
(impress her even further by casually mentioning that “radiant orchid” is the
official 2014 color of the year.)
For the Classic Girl…Geraldine Roses
These
light pink flowers exude romanticism – plus they have a sweet, subtle fragrance
she’ll love.
For The Girl You Just Started Seeing…Freesia
Flowers
These
gorgeous white blooms have a powerful and intoxicating fragrance. Their beautiful and make a statement (in a
non-committal kind of way.)
For Your Long-Term Lady…Matsumoto Aster
Flowers
At this
point you’ve probably gifted her with every flower known to man. Step outside of the box and give her
something unique that she’s likely never received before. (Bonus:
she’ll probably think you had to special order these buds but they are actually
available at almost any florist in the country.)
