Sending a luxurious flower arrangement — whether for Valentine’s Day or just because — is one of the most thoughtful and timeless gifts. Flowers bring fresh beauty, express a range of emotions, and have been shown to lift spirits in a way few other gifts can. Across nearly all cultures, flowers have symbolized everything from love and passion to grace and elegance, making them a powerful gesture for centuries. Not only do they look and smell wonderful, but they also make a striking impression. And when you shop with Cincinnati’s best florist, Adrian Durban Florist, sending a stunning arrangement is as simple as it is special. Ready to wow your crush or significant other?
Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolates
One of the most popular gift pairings in floristry (and beyond) is the incomparable duo of red roses and chocolate, a staple on Valentine’s Day and other romantic occasions. You just can’t go wrong with red roses for the flower element, given how universally beloved these bold blooms are. Add to that the timeless and delicious appeal of gourmet chocolate, which is as versatile as it is indulgent. Together the fragrance and flavor of this gift is a 10 out of 10 every time. But if you’re determined to do something a little different this time, elegant calla lilies say “I love you” just as beautifully with their posh and sophisticated petals.
Multicolor Roses and A Luxe Bottle of Wine
Who says you have to choose only one or two colors for your bouquets? Sometimes you can bring the entire rainbow to a loved one’s doorstep to celebrate birthdays, milestone accomplishments, and other joyful moments. You can play with color symbolism, too: red roses for romance, yellow roses for friendship, peach roses to say “I miss you,” and more. The result is an explosion of color that spreads cheer and joy. For even more celebration, include a bottle of upscale wine with the arrangement to toast to your recipient on their special day.
Hydrangeas and a Gift Basket of Goodies
There are many ways to say thank you, but we’re especially fond of showing our sincerest appreciation with hydrangeas. In addition to being ambassadors of heartfelt emotion, hydrangeas are just beautiful to look at, with their large clusters of intricate blossoms. Complete your gesture with a gourmet gift basket piled high with all kinds of tasty treats, whether that means salty and savory or sweet and indulgent. That will keep your recipient happy and satiated, and what’s better than that?
Orchids and a Bottle of Champagne
Some occasions only happen once in a great while, meaning they’re worthy of some extra celebratory spirit. We’re talking big deals like retirements and graduations, moments that usher in incredible new beginnings. To recognize all that folks have accomplished, yellow orchids are the perfect fit; they represent success, endurance, and resilience. Make it extra festive with a bottle of champagne (the good stuff) that’s worthy of sipping on such a significant day, when the world is truly their oyster.
Gerbera Daisies and Balloons
Fewer gifts send healing energy better than fresh flowers, especially if you have a loved one in the hospital, but also if they’re convalescing at home. In either case a scent-free bouquet is a wise option for wellness, making gerbera daises the perfect bloom for delivering your well wishes. For extra cheer that’s often much needed in times like this, including a fun, bright balloon amps up all those good vibes. Together, this combination brings color and joy into any space that can uplift any spirit.
At Adrian Durban Florist, we believe every bouquet has a story, and pairing it with the perfect gift — from artisanal chocolates to fine wine — adds an unforgettable element. Let these thoughtful combinations create memories that last.
