Don't make a mistake this Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day, the holiday for all lovers, is fast approaching! While there are dozens of reasons to give flowers, this one is undeniable. To help you prepare for the big day with calm and confidence, the Sessile editorial team shares the 5 mistakes you absolutely must avoid if you want to delight your partner. 

Find out about your partner's preferences

While it’s true that a bouquet of red roses is the preferred choice for many couples, don’t let yourself be swayed by trends and tradition. Tulips, azaleas, anemones…there are many flowers that can convey a message of love and passion. Don’t be afraid to choose a personalized bouquet—one that reminds you more of your loved one—and varieties that evoke special feelings for them. 

As you can see, much more than just habit or routine, what really matters on Valentine's Day is giving a gift that reminds you of your loved one…and that makes them happy!

 

Find My Valentine's Day Bouquet

 

Don't entrust the task to just anyone 

On Valentine’s Day, you can find flowers at any convenience store or supermarket. We advise against giving in to those attractive prices! In fact, they often mean lower quality, and therefore flowers that won’t last as long once you buy them. Also, don’t forget to check out our tips for caring for them.

A bouquet is much more than just a collection of flowers: it requires careful arrangement and composition to best convey your feelings. We can’t stress this enough: buy your flowers from a professional artisan florist.

Don't forget to write a short message

Flowers, it’s true, convey the intensity of our feelings quite clearly. Adding a little note to remind our partner is even better! If you only have a few words to say, don’t worry—the simplest ones are often the most beautiful. Don’t be afraid to say those three words:“I love you.”

Don't wait until the last minute

As you might expect, many people will wait until the last minute to buy flowers, and that’s understandable. To enjoy the flowers for as long as possible, it’s tempting to go to the store on the same day and buy the freshest flowers available.

However, you won't be the only one to have this idea, and you may very well end up having to settle for whatever flowers are available. To avoid this, we recommend an alternative: order your flowers online for same-day delivery.

On Sessile, you can order your flowers a week in advance, and we'll forward the order to your florist so that the bouquet arrives on time on February 14.
