In two weeks, we're about to celebrate our first Valentine's Day amid a pandemic. Although there are a lot of things that cause worry and uncertainty in the world right now, perhaps, we can all dedicate one day to focus on the positive side of life and express our love to those who are dear to us. And if you want to instantly brighten a loved one's day, you can't go wrong by having a bouquet of fresh flowers delivered straight to their doorsteps.
The tradition of sending flowers to your loved one on Valentine's Day is said to have begun in the 18th century, when Charles II of Sweden introduced the Persian custom of floriography or flower writing as a form of communication to Europeans.
Back then, people conveyed their messages through flowers, which had a specific symbolism or meaning for each bloom.
In modern times, sending flowers on Valentine's Day has become a means to express our love to our family, friends, and significant other.
It's also one way of confessing one's feelings to someone he or she wishes to be in a relationship with or a means to ask someone out on a date. Or it could even be one way of winning back an ex.
Whatever your reason may be, the bottom line is that Valentine's Day is a celebration of love.
So, this coming February 14, don't hesitate to show your love to those who means most to you by sending a bouquet of beautiful, fresh flowers.
And don't worry if you can't bring the flowers personally to your amore, because there are flower delivery services that'll help save your Valentine's Day.
