Nothing says what’s in our hearts like flowers do — they’re totally gorgeous, classy, and full of meaning when words fall short. But, if you want to make it super special, add a little something to go with those blooms. Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just to say “I’m thinking of you,” a paired present goes a long way. At In Bloom Florist in Orlando, Florida, we’ve created a super savvy guide to help you nail the perfect flower pairings to make every occasion pop. Let’s make your gift talk!
Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate
Red roses aren’t just gorgeous flowers — they’re legends and always have been. From Ancient China to Persia to Greece, these blossoms have been symbols of love, joy, and romance for centuries. No wonder they’re the ultimate Valentine’s Day pick! Pair them with chocolates (another timeless obsession), and you’ve got a duo that’s as iconic as it is irresistible, flooding the senses with everything good. It’s like gifting history, beauty, and indulgence all in one swoon-worthy package.
Pink Roses and Prosecco
Pink roses are total showstoppers, whether you go for a bold hot pink or a soft pastel tone. They’re the ultimate way to say “thank you” to the people who are always in your corner, no matter what. Sound like Mom? Of course! Moms are the best, and these flowers let her know that you 100 percent appreciate everything she does. Add a bottle of rosé or her favorite Prosecco, and suddenly you’ve created the ultimate moment of relaxation for her. Now picture Mom smiling, glass in hand, feeling oh-so-loved — mission accomplished.
Bird of Paradise and an IPA
Birds of paradise are basically a vacation in flower form — striking, exotic, and always on island time. Their parrot-in-flight look is a total crowd-pleaser, too, making them a popular gift option. These fiery blooms are perfect for dads who bring the same bold and adventurous energy to the table. Add a craft IPA to the mix for a gift combo that’s all about promoting tropical energy. Not into beer? No worries — swap in a sleek cabernet for a beverage that’s just as sophisticated but totally dad-approved.
Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket
When you think of respect, wisdom, and strength, who else comes to mind but our amazing grandparents? They have life completely mastered and always have wisdom to share whenever we need it (and we always need it). That’s why purple orchids fit the bill — they’re majestic, long-lasting, and a nod to the lifetime of love your grandparents share. Add a snack-packed gift basket — nuts, cheeses, crackers, the works — and boom: it’s a gift that’s as epic as they are. It’s all about saying, “You two are the real deal.”
Yellow Lilies and Balloons
We always loved it when Mister Rogers reminded us to look for the helpers in every situation. Take it to the next level by thanking the helpers in your life, whether that’s on Administrative Professionals Day or a special occasion when you just want to say thank you. The perfect flower for this assignment? Yellow lilies, ambassadors of appreciation, cheerfulness, and good vibes. Let them fly solo in the arrangement or invite gladiolus to the party if you want to shout out someone’s strength of character. Pair the flowers with a fun balloon so everyone can see how awesome your recipient is.
At In Bloom Florist, we believe the best gifts tell a compelling story. Pairing fresh flowers with something personally chosen for them creates a meaningful moment they’ll treasure, all thanks to you.
