How to Choose the Perfect Romantic Bouquet for Your Special Someone?

Selecting the Right Flowers and Colors.

Choosing romantic flowers starts with understanding the story you want to tell. Classic blooms like roses, lilies, and peonies often top the list. For example, nothing says romance quite like a dozen roses. Our Classic Dozen Roses bouquet is described on our site as “a classic design [that] will always be welcomed”. Each rose color carries its own message—red for passion, pink for love and care, peach for romance, white for purity, and even lavender for uniqueness. We weave these meanings into every arrangement. In the Classic Dozen Roses, for instance, a dozen premium roses are “elegantly designed with seasonal foliage” so the recipient receives a vibrant display of emotion.

Our designers can also mix in complementary blooms. Soft pink hydrangea or lisianthus soften the bouquet, while bright spray roses or tulips add cheer. The key is balance: a romantic bouquet often uses deep reds and blush pinks with touches of white or greenery for contrast. We also offer arrangements with exotic flair. Consider our Romantic and Tropical design – “Tropical blooms are a unique choice for romance,” and our team will turn them into a “magnificent design aimed to impress”. Imagine sending a vase of bold orchids, anthuriums, or tropical lilies alongside roses – it shows you went the extra mile.

Show-Stopping Bouquets for Grand Gestures.

Sometimes the occasion calls for going big. In that case, our So Many Roses arrangement is ideal. This lavish bouquet packs three dozen roses, described on our site as a bouquet that will “knock the socks off anyone who receives them”. Available in nearly any color combination, So Many Roses is “elegant and festive” and guaranteed to leave a breathtaking impression. If you want to really spoil someone, surprise them with this one-of-a-kind romantic bouquet. For something playful yet still romantic, our Sweetheart Bouquet features soft pinks and whites. Our website describes Sweetheart as “a sweet bouquet to warm anyone’s heart” – it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day or any “just because” moment.

Ordering, Delivery, and Care.

When planning your romantic gesture, timing and care are important. To ensure your romantic flowers are delivered efficiently, place your order early in the day. Red Bud Florals offers same-day delivery if you order by late morning. That means if you wake up thinking of surprise arrangements for that afternoon or evening date, you’re in luck – just order by noon. We deliver daily to Oakland and the surrounding Bay Area (Alameda, Berkeley, Piedmont, Emeryville, San Leandro, and more), so getting flowers to your special someone is quick and local. Our service guarantee means that even last-minute romantics can still make a beautiful impression.



Once your bouquet arrives, a few simple steps keep it fresh longer. Change the water daily and trim the stems at an angle every couple of days. Keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heat or drafts, and use cool room-temperature water. These tips (shared in our FAQ) will ensure the blooms look their best on date night. With a little extra care, your romantic flowers will stay vibrant well beyond the special occasion.

We Care About Your Love Story.

At Red Bud Florals, we treat every bouquet as if it were for our own family. As an environmental florist, we source sustainably and work with seasonal blooms, so your arrangement is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful. Many of our designs are customizable too. For example, our Classic Two Dozen Roses arrangement is technically a “Designer’s choice”, but on the order form you can specify a favorite color or flower and “we will do our best to accommodate”. Just let us know if your special someone has a favorite flower or hue – we love tailoring bouquets to each love story.



“Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow,” as John Lennon said, and we make sure to water that love with flowers. Whether you pick a single dozen roses, a mixed pastel bouquet, or a tropical explosion, our florists guide you through the choice to perfectly suit your partner’s tastes. We even have a dedicated Romance category on our site – feel free to browse romantic bouquets and arrangements for inspiration. When you’re ready to make someone’s day unforgettable, place your order in the morning and let us handle the rest. Your romantic bouquet will be hand-delivered with care, arriving on time and blooming with your affection.

FAQ's- How to Choose the Perfect Romantic Bouquet for Your Special Someone?

1. Which flowers and colors make a bouquet especially romantic? 

Roses are the classic choice for romance, especially in red, pink, or peach. On our site, the Classic Dozen Roses bouquet highlights “red for passion, pink for care and love, peach for romance”. Other popular romantic blooms include lilies, tulips, ranunculus, and even exotic orchids. Mixed bouquets in soft pinks and whites can also be very romantic (our Sweetheart Bouquet is a great example). We at Red Bud Florals often use combinations of these flowers to create that perfect romantic bouquet.

2. How do I pick the perfect romantic bouquet for my special someone? 

Start by considering their favorite flowers and colors. Think about what feels most “them”: a traditional rose bouquet, a whimsical mix of garden flowers, or an exotic tropical arrangement. Check out our product pages – for example, our Romance category features many options, each with a clear description. You can customize your order by specifying color preferences in the notes (our designers will “do our best to accommodate”). Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re unsure; we love helping customers create the ideal romantic flower arrangements.

3. Can I get same-day delivery for a romantic bouquet? 

Absolutely – if you order early enough. Red Bud Florals offers same-day delivery when you place your order by late morning.

5. When are romantic flowers most appropriate to send? 

You can send romantic flowers anytime! Of course we see a lot of orders around anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, and Valentine’s-themed occasions. But often, the most touching gestures are just moments. Surprise your partner on an ordinary day to make it extraordinary. Romantic bouquets are also perfect for engagements, date nights, or to celebrate personal milestones (like a job promotion or finishing a big project). The key is the sentiment: any time you want to say “I love you” or “I care,” a romantic bouquet is a beautiful choice.
