Okay, let’s get started… and let me show you how Valentine flower arrangements aren’t limited to just roses.

#1 – Sweetheart Flowers

To make an unforgettable Valentine’s Day flowerarrangement, you’ll need lots of conversation hearts and 2vases — one smaller one that will easily fit inside a larger clear one.

The smaller vase willhold theflowers, while the larger vase holds the smaller one andall the candy that will provide a decorative barrier between the vases.

Choose a combination of carnationsin colors thatcomplement your sweetheart candies.

Feel free to add other candies too — like red hots or red &whitejelly beans.

#2 – Romantic Dinner Flowers

Naturally, you’ll be thinking about red roses asa centerpiece for your romantic Valentine’sDay dinner, but don’t stop there.

Add a vintage touch with large beige or white hydrangeas. Infact, they’ll even look lovely dried and added to your roses.

While you’ll want to add greenery,be sure to pick up some pale green flowers too. They’ll complement both the roses and thehydrangeas with lots of old-fashioned charm.

#3 – Counting the Years

To create a Valentines centerpiecethat reflects the years — or even the months — that you’ve beentogether, consider a this one-of-a-kindrose display.

You’ll need some red roses, a vase (or some other container), and a piece of floral foam placed into the vase.

Create spiral-staircase effect by standing up eachrose in the foam so that it’s slightly shorter than the one before it.

In this way, each single rose stands out andrepresents one of the months (or years) of your relationship.

Awe!…

#4 – Seeing Red

Red is always associated with Valentine’s Day and you can’t go wrong with romantic reddisplays of flowers.

You can add vases to your fireplace mantel, dining room table, foyer, or evenyour coffee table.

For attention-getting red flower displays, you’ll need some black vases or containers. (You can even spray paint old soup or coffee cans for this purpose!)

Then add red posies,roses, carnations, lilies, or any other red flowers you fancy.

Top off your display with some redfeathers from the craft store. The combination of feathers and flowers is stunning!

#5 – Perfectly Pink

To create a simply sweet Valentine flower arrangement, all you’ll need is a tall clear vase, somebeargrassor baby’s breath, and long stem pink roses.

The green of the beargrass provides the perfectcontrast with the pink roses.

For added effect, choose a square vase or a vase with an unusualshape.

Remember, pink roses signifyhappiness, elegance, romance, admiration, sweetness, and thanks. So they’re not as over-the-top as red roses.

Wondering how many roses to include?

Here’s what it means when a certainnumber of roses are givenas a gift:

• 1 single rose of any color depicts utmost devotion.
