The short answer
Valentine's Day 2027 falls on Sunday, February 14. For something more personal than red roses, send a lush, romantic bouquet of winter stems like ranunculus, tulips, and anemones in blush, cream, and deep rose.
Golden Hour Blooms Co., a wildflower florist in Markham, makes Valentine's bouquets from $50. Order a week or more ahead, as dates fill quickly.
Romantic alternatives to red roses
- Ranunculus. Layer upon layer of petals. Their traditional meaning is "I am dazzled by you."
- Tulips. Graceful and still growing in the vase, a February favourite.
- Anemones. Striking dark centres and a modern, romantic feel.
- Garden and spray roses. If roses are a must, loose garden-style roses feel far more personal than a stiff dozen.
Why red roses cost more in February
Demand for red roses spikes around Valentine's Day, and prices rise with it. A mixed, seasonal bouquet often gives you more flower, more texture, and more meaning for the same budget.
"Red roses say Valentine's Day. A bouquet in her favourite colours says you."
Which size to send
Softest Hour, from $70, is our most-loved romantic size. For a partner who deserves the full meadow, The Whole Meadow, from $125, is the showstopper.
Order early
Valentine's Day is one of the busiest flower days of the year, and a two-person studio can only make so many bouquets. Order a week or more ahead. With Valentine's on a Sunday in 2027, Friday or Saturday delivery is a lovely way to start the weekend.
