Heart Centerpiece
In 13 Valentine's Day Crafts That Incorporate Flowers Emily Goldman writes, "On February 14, only one flower will do. It's not that a big bouquet isn't sublime, but a single genus best conveys a message of love: the rose, preferably in lush tones of red and pink. Although long stems crowd every florist's cooler, any romantic knows that beautiful blossoms are the heart of the matter—especially when their stems are cut short and they're gathered into tiny vases or glasses arranged in the unmistakable shape of affection."
Constructions of Natural Materials
Use these creative options as inspiration for your own creations. Thursd writes in Throwback at V-day Inspiration from World Famous Designers that "Tuba loves creating handmade constructions out of natural materials. So she has created two bouquet alternatives on a heart-shaped construction made out of salix branches. One is a classic for Valentine's Day with red roses, red tulips, red hypericum, etc and the other one is more romantic with peonies, spray roses, hedera branches, etc. Flowers are always a good reason to make a beloved one smile..."
