We all know flowers are a go-to for anniversaries, birthdays, or big deal holidays (e.g. Valentine’s Day), but that doesn’t mean they have to feel basic. From classic red roses to flowers that bring back wedding day memories, bouquets are a sweet way to express your affection. But here’s the real fun: how you give them! Coordinate a surprise delivery, use a favorite vase, even create a little scavenger hunt; presentation makes the moment. At Central Square Florist in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we’re all about adding that thoughtful element. Use their love language (hello, Gary Chapman, and thanks) or tap into the seven romance styles to help shape your idea. Or incorporate their number one hobby in a way that honors it. Stuck? Don’t stress. We’re full of fun ideas!

A Clean House, Homemade Dinner, & Flowers on the Table

Not every romantic moment needs to be over the top for the whole world to see. For someone with a practical love style, it’s all about effort and a meaningful act of service. A clean kitchen, their favorite meal cooking, and fresh flowers awaiting their arrival fit the bill flawlessly. Let them know that all they need to do is enjoy the evening and you’ll see just how much it means. Flowers are the tangible element, but it’s the peaceful, no-expectation kind of night that really hits home. Let them sink into the couch and know they’re loved, nothing else required.

Pair Sweet Stems with a Sweet Love Note

When words that affirm and show appreciation are your partner’s de facto love language, never underestimate a handwritten note. Tell them why they matter, what about them makes you smile, and how they make life brighter every day. It doesn’t need to be poetry (but that’s welcome, too), just real and from the heart. Pair it with a gorgeous floral design, and you’ve created a love letter that blooms just for them. Stuck on where to start? No worries, we’ve rounded up some card message inspo to help you out.

Plan a Grand Delivery to Their Workplace

We love a good, seemingly out-of-nowhere flower surprise. Sending blooms to their office or job site when they’re knee-deep in work is such a sweet way to say, “I’m with you today.” It hits especially hard if they’ve been stressed or overwhelmed lately. A surprise delivery taps into that love language of gift-receiving and adds a little sparkle to an otherwise ordinary day. It’s thoughtful, playful, and guaranteed to boost their mood long after the delivery lands.

Celebrate Shared Fitness Activities with Thoughtful Blooms

If shared experiences are their confirmed love language, joining in on what they enjoy is everything to them. Get on the pickleball court, dance with them on salsa night, or lace up for a hike and be in the moment together. You’ll see new sides of them and deepen your connection without forcing it. After the activity, surprise them with flowers on the doorstep, by the court, or in the car. Include a note that says how you feel about sharing this time with them. Bright, kinetic blooms such as sunflowers echo that joyful, in-motion energy of spending all day together.

Subscribe to a Monthly Delivery

For people whose primary love language is receiving presents, the right surprise can speak louder than a long speech. The good news? It doesn’t have to be complicated. A standing monthly delivery of blooms is an easy way to say, “I’m always thinking of you.” Switch up the colors and styles so each bouquet sends a new message. Maybe bold, bright blooms one month and soft, romantic pastels the next. Flowers turn into an experience, too: something they see, smell, and feel, boosting their happy chemicals on repeat, every single time those blossoms arrive.

No matter their love language (acts of service, quality time, words, or gifts), there’s always a way to weave flowers into the story. When you’re ready to dream up your next romantic gesture, Central Square Florist will be right here, petals at the ready, cheering your love on today, tomorrow, and always.
