Valentine's Day should be a day when you make your loved one feel special. That can be hard to do with stereotypical red roses and chocolates. You can send pink roses instead to make your loved one feel special. Pink roses can express everything from infatuation to empathy, depending on their color and the arrangement, so they are a versatile flower for Valentine's Day bouquets.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide where you would like to send the roses, and make sure you have the correct address.

  2. Step 2

    Visit a few local florists to get an idea of their prices, selection and quality of flowers so that you get the best value and most stunning arrangement possible. If you visit well ahead of Valentine's Day, you will be more likely to get personalized attention and a beautiful arrangement.

  3. Step 3

    Ask to see what types of pink roses are available. If there's a specific variety that you love, ask the florist to order it for you.

  4. Step 4

    Choose bright, bold blooms for a flirty arrangement for your crush. Pick rich, dark roses for your spouse or best friend to express love and gratitude. Select a pale pink rose for your mother to express admiration and elegance.

  5. Step 5

    Ask your florist about accent flowers. While a simple bouquet of roses is classic and romantic, adding flowers like carnations or chrysanthemums gives the bouquet a softer look that might be perfect for a friend or relative.

  6. Step 6

    Order your arrangement early to avoid the Valentine's Day rush. Placing your order early will also give you the widest range of choices and possibly the best prices on your roses.

  7. Step 7

    Write a personalized note to send with your Valentine's Day bouquet. A few handwritten lines will be cherished for much longer than roses. Look to her favorite poetry books or song lyrics if you need inspiration.

  8. Step 8

    Buy pink roses online if you don't have time to visit florists, or if you are sending the bouquet to someone far away.
