Valentine’s Day is the biggest day of the year for flowers – and for good reason. Nothing says “I love you” quite as simply and beautifully as a bouquet that arrives unexpectedly, chosen just for them. But it’s also the busiest day on the florist calendar, which means a little planning goes a long way.

This is our complete guide to Valentine’s Day flowers on the Gold Coast – what to send, what the different blooms and colours mean, how to make your gift stand out, and how to make sure it actually arrives on the day. After nearly 30 years arranging Valentine’s flowers from our Southport shop, here’s everything you need to know.

(Valentine’s Day falls on 14 February every year. Because it’s our busiest day, we always recommend ordering a few days ahead.)

The classic: red roses (and why they still win)

Red roses are the timeless symbol of romantic love, and they’re the most-requested Valentine’s flower for a reason – they say exactly what the day is about, with no explanation needed. A dozen long-stemmed red roses is the classic grand gesture, but even a smaller bunch, beautifully arranged, carries the same message.

If you want to make red roses feel a little more special, we can present them as a luxe boxed arrangement, add foliage and texture for a more designer look, or pair them with chocolates and bubbly.

Beyond red: what the rose colours mean

Red isn’t your only option – and choosing a different colour can say something more personal:

Red – deep love and passion. The classic Valentine’s choice.
Pink – admiration, gratitude and sweetness. Lovely for a newer relationship or a gentler message.
White – pure, devoted love. Elegant and understated.
Peach / coral – appreciation and warmth. Beautiful and a little different.
Mixed tones – blush, cream and red together for a modern, romantic look.

If your partner finds a dozen red roses a bit predictable, a mixed-tone rose bouquet feels fresh while keeping all the romance.

Romantic alternatives to roses

Not everyone is a red-rose person – and a bloom your partner genuinely loves can mean more than the default. Beautiful Valentine’s alternatives include:

Tulips – symbolise “perfect love,” fresh and graceful.
Lilies – elegant, fragrant and striking.
Orchids – sophisticated and long-lasting; a potted orchid lasts months.
Native arrangements – bold and unexpected, for a partner who likes something different (and they cope brilliantly with our climate).
Their actual favourite flower – if you know it, nothing beats it for thoughtfulness.

Tell us about your partner and we’ll help you choose something that feels personal rather than generic.

Make it more than flowers

Valentine’s gifts land beautifully when you pair the flowers with a little extra. Popular additions we can include:

A box of gourmet chocolates
A bottle of champagne or wine
A soft toy or keepsake
A scented candle or small self-care treat
A handwritten card with your message

Just tell us the occasion and budget and we’ll put together a complete gift that arrives ready to impress.

What to write in the card

Stuck on words? A few ideas, from simple to heartfelt:

“Happy Valentine’s Day. I love you.”
“Still choosing you, every day.”
“To my favourite person – happy Valentine’s Day.”
“Thank you for being you. All my love, always.”

We’ll handwrite your message on a card and include it with the bouquet. Happy to help with wording if you’d like.

Don’t leave it too late – ordering tips

Valentine’s Day is genuinely our busiest day of the year, and delivery slots fill up. A few tips to make sure your gift arrives:

Order a few days early if you can – it guarantees your spot and often more choice of blooms.
For same-day delivery, order by 2pm (Monday to Saturday). On Valentine’s Day itself, earlier is always safer.
Double-check the delivery address – especially apartment numbers and workplaces.
Sending to a workplace? Tell us, and we’ll aim to deliver during work hours so it arrives in front of everyone (always a nice touch).

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers should I send for Valentine’s Day?

Can I get same-day Valentine’s flower delivery on the Gold Coast?

Yes – order by 2pm for same-day delivery across the Gold Coast. But Valentine’s Day is our busiest day of the year, so we strongly recommend ordering a few days ahead to secure your delivery and the best choice of blooms.
