How to Propose with Flowers

Deciding to propose marriage to the one you love can be a nerve-wracking event. You will want everything to be perfect, from the venue where you propose and the words you say to the presentation of the ring and any other romantic details you want to include to make the moment as memorable as possible. If you are looking for a romantic way to begin the occasion, presenting your partner with flowers at the beginning of the date ensures everything is off to a fantastic start. Discover which flowers you should choose from the florist and what each type of flower represents in addition to how you should present them with our helpful suggestions on how to say it with flowers.

Have Flowers Delivered

The day you propose is one of the most momentous days of your life and in the life of your future husband or wife. Propose a day-long affair and have a bouquet of beautiful blooms sent via next day flower delivery or same-day flower delivery to arrive on the morning of your proposal. You may want to hint at what is to come in the card the accompanies the flowers or you may want your beloved to think that this is just a romantic gesture rather than give any indication of what is to come. However, you want to play it, sending flowers by post on the day of the proposal is something that neither of you will forget.

Pay Attention

If you have ever visited flower shops with your other half you will probably have heard them comment on which flowers they like and which they don’t. This so the perfect opportunity to glean which type and colour of flower your partner likes. If you can’t recall precisely what blooms they love, try to happen upon a florist while you are out shopping or running errands together, and this time, listen to what they say!

Roses

The timeless flowers are traditional for a reason, and if you are in doubt, red roses are a perfect choice. Signifying true love and passion, roses are guaranteed to melt the heart of your soon to be fiance or fiancée, and convey just how much you love this person. As well as being beautiful, roses are fragrant blooms which will add to the ambience of the event. You may even want to hide the engagement ring within the flowers, but if you, ensure you secure the ring firmly to the petals, or hide the ring inside a jewellery box before nestling it between the heads of the roses.

Cheap flowers

Not everyone can afford huge bouquets of expensive flowers, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t gift a beautiful bouquet of romance flowers when you are proposing. If you are on a budget, carnations can be an excellent choice as these flowers are simply beautiful and look amazing in a huge bouquet. Just like roses, red carnations symbolise passion and love and white carnations mean pure love and also good luck, which is apt for those nervous about their proposal!

Tulips

These flowers manage to be fun in addition to being romantic and are available in shades of red, pink, purple, white and yellow. Tulips are ideal for partners who aren’t traditional and would prefer a quirky bouquet of blooms. Red tulips are the romantic choice, but purple varieties can convey passion. It is best to steer clear of white tulips on this occasion as they are said to represent and apology, which is perhaps not the message you want to convey right before you propose.
