Not all red rose bouquets are created equal, which we here at Conklyn’s Flowers are clear about. Of the many arrangements we design featuring Valentine’s Day’s signature bloom, we’re enormous fans of the ones that mix roses with other flowers, which offers you the chance to communicate more than just ardor and passion.

A classic bouquet of red roses is always appropriate when you’re sending it to your sweetheart, but sometimes we want our flower gifts to feel a bit more customized.

If you want to keep the traditional red rose in the mix but spice it up a little with other flowers, look no further than a piece like Love That Pink. Here roses, lilies, and other flowers in pastel pink complement the power of the red roses offering a lusher, softer look than a vase full of long-stems.

The cube vase balances the softness, giving the whole look a modern edge. Variety is what makes this style, which could be sent to your sweetie, your daughter, your mom, or your sister, and still feel perfectly in line with the sentiment you’re expressing.

It’s never too early to think about what you’ll be sending for V-Day, and to whom. Remember that there’s more than one way to communicate your feelings via flowers this year, and call on us at Conklyn’s Flowers to help you get it just right.
