The Bloom Box

The team behind The Bloom Box creates arrangements that are true to their name – in handy boxes. They create new arrangements daily and while pre-orders can be made, the design for each day will only be released the day before. In nifty boxes that can easily be placed around the house as spots of colour, the daily arrangements are often done with a good eye to shades and hues.

The Valentine’s Day Special is a bold statement of red roses on cotton and preserved hydrangeas. To make it an even more lovely gift, choose between the Ferragamo Perfume or the Awfully Chocolate Strawberries and Cream bar to be included. Both of which are equally thoughtful additions which your partner would love, and the choice gives you the chance to pick the one that your partner would appreciate more.

BloomBack

Not to be confused with Bloom Box, BloomBack sets itself apart from other flower shops by using preserved flowers. Instead, their immortality is meant to signify the longevity of your love, wonderfully apt for this Valentine’s Day! As a florist that supports and trains marginalised women, the brand also repurposes donated flowers from weddings and other events as gifts for the elderly and the sick.

If your partner isn’t particularly fond of bouquets, a floral charm that encases one perfect bloom to be attached to a bag or something similar, or a terrarium is ideal. BloomBack also crafts gorgeous flower domes reminiscent of that in Beauty and the Beast except far more lavishly filled, which makes them brilliant display pieces or something sweet to keep on the desk. For those who would like something more practical, you can also get a flower dome perched upon a bluetooth speaker which is both gorgeous and functional. The possibilities are endless with preserved flowers and you don’t need to worry about compensating on the beauty of the flowers with BloomBack either.

Tree House Flowers & Gifts 

Supposing your date loves classics, then find a standard flower arrangement with a slight twist at Treehouse Flowers & Gifts. Instead of giving your partner a regular bouquet, this florist gives you the option of giving your flowers in a presentable vase accompanied with an ‘I love you’ tag with the Roselle arrangement. Alternatively, amp it up by opting for My Super Star which features a rainbow hued selection of baby’s breath along with a plush bear.

For a simple, yet romantic statement, gift 12 red or pink roses neatly arranged in a box. Romantic and classy at the same time. You may also choose the roses mixed with carnations and other botanicals in a heart shaped box or a bouquet in a box, both of which are a pleasant change from the usual bouquets and yet, do not deviate too far from the norm.
