Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day

If there’s a way to segregate people based on their relationship status, it is Valentine’s Day. Come February and this divide starts to show: people who are in love, and not just with their own selves, seem to be busy making plans to celebrate February 14 with their Valentines. While the rest of the gang cry, scream, scratch their hair and look sullen – though not in public – lovebirds get ready to strut their stuff! Either way, Valentine’s Day is a day of love which should be enjoyed irrespective of whether you are committed, recently single, looking for “true” love or a narcissist. At Floralis, we make it easier for you to usher in the day of love with a stunning range of fresh and exotic flowers, candles, cakes, chocolates, glass vases, artificial and dried flowers, wall hangings and other home décor items. 

Valentine’s Day has become one of the several festivals Indians look forward to. Like Christmas, V-day, as it has come to be known over the years, is an important event in the educated Indian’s annual calendar. It has shed its tag of being a “western influence”, although this transition has been far from easy. There are still some self-appointed guardians of society who act as the moral police and have reportedly created nuisance, harassing those unlucky enough to fall in their way on the 14^th of February. Albeit the number of violent and unwanted incidents surrounding Cupid’s day is dwindling with every passing year, yet we still hear of a few stray occurrences here and there. This is sad, given the fact that these protests demonstrate how apathetic certain segments of society are towards an individual’s fundamental rights. But all these haven’t been able to deter those who want to express their emotions to the people they love.

Whoever said February 14 is only meant for lovers couldn’t be more wrong. Infact, just about anybody can be your Valentine: parents, family, friends, relatives or colleagues. By that criterion, Valentine’s Day is a day you can spend with your cousin or even your gym buddy as long as that person has a special place in your life. True, those who matter should be celebrated every day of the year but thanks to our hectic and highly compartmentalized lives, time is always at a premium. Even if we want to, we cannot afford to spend quality time with those who matter throughout the year. And that’s why this one day has become a highly sought-after platform to express the most basic yet complex and endearing human emotion – love! 

This year, Valentine’s Day is on Thursday. So, if you haven’t yet decided what to gift your special someone, there’s still time. Visit Floralis and choose from a wide range of gifting options, with personalization available across different product categories to allow you to make the right impression. 

Worried that your Valentine won’t receive his or her gift on D-day? Put your worries aside with our Express Delivery: your token of love reaches your beloved the same day you order them. Isn’t that great? Shop online from anywhere or come to our stores and discover new ways of spreading love and joy. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine's Week Celebrations

Rose Day

February 7 marks Rose Day as well as kickstarts the week-long Valentine week. Each day of the week has a special meaning: Rose Day is meant for friends and lovers to express their feelings to their partners via the medium of roses. This ubiquitous flower has earned a universal reputation of portraying love, affection, desire, passion and friendship in the best possible way. You can opt for unconventional colors like lavender, orange, blue and white if you want to stand out from the crowd. But if you are looking to express romantic love, a Red Rose is still the undisputed choice. However, it is best to know the significance of a particular color before you present it to your beloved. 

Propose Day

So, after you have bought that red rose, what do you do next? Obviously, you have to give it to your special someone. But you cannot merely hand it over and stand expectedly, waiting for a miracle to happen. You need to propose to that person so that he or she also knows how you feel. Propose Day is the most logical successor to Rose Day, and falls on February 8. This day sees the start of new romances as lovers all over the world express their emotions through cards, gifts, flowers or even verbally. However, if you want to gift something more expensive like soft toys or chocolates, hold on to your horses for the coming days.

Chocolate Day

After flowers, chocolates are one of the best ways to show you care. One of the most amazing things about chocolates is that they are loved universally, irrespective of gender or age. When you gift chocolates, the recipient is reminded how much they mean to you. They are not restricted to lovers only and can be exchanged between friends and relatives alike. Chocolate Day is celebrated on February 9 and is surely anticipated by people who know its significance. Although this day is still not popular among the masses, it is slowly picking pace and is not very far behind Valentine’s or Rose Day.   

Teddy Bear Day

You have given roses, proposed to your dream date and bought them chocolates. What next? Well, you can spoil them silly by gifting them a cute teddy bear. Teddy Bear Day falls the day after Chocolate Day, i.e. February 10, and is perfect for showering your love with cute soft toys. This day is perfect for conveying your commitment because you won’t gift an expensive soft toy to someone you are not serious about, will you? This day cements the bond between couples and goes a long way in laying the foundation for strong relationships. 

Promise Day

Promise Day is celebrated on February 11 and is reserved for making promises: girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives vow to stand with one another no matter what for the rest of their lives. This day is meant for sending love messages and telling prospective or existing partners how much they mean to their respective partners. This day is the perfect build-up to the big day – Valentine’s Day, which is only 3 days away.

Kiss Day

February 12 is extra special for couples, especially those who are new in a relationship because it is Kiss Day. That feeling when two people come together and share their first kiss is truly inexplicable: it cannot be explained in words. The excitement and anxiety is unbearable; yet the fun is in the waiting. True, a kiss forms the basis to future physical compatibility and is forever etched in one’s memory. However, the Indian psyche is still not very open with public displays of affection but in many countries, kissing in the open is a regular and common affair.  

Hug Day

Nothing can be more comforting than a hug from your beloved. Cherish this feeling with a day dedicated to hugs on February 13 with Hug Day, which is the penultimate date in the run-up to V-day. Not only does it help to form a new bond between two people, a hug also shows how much a partner misses his or her other half. Hugs are in practice for a long time and are exchanged between friends, family members and relatives.

Valentine’s Day

February 14 is the grand finale of celebrating relationships: romantic as well as non-romantic. Valentine’s Day is still the most popular day for cherishing love. Though one day is insufficient to show how you feel about your friend or partner, people all across India and the world celebrate this day with great enthusiasm. Express your emotions with Valentine’s Day flowers, chocolates, soft toys, cakes and other gifts. Over the years, people have become more creative and go to great lengths to personalize their gifts. With unique gifting options available online, it has become easier to make the right impression with just a mouse-click.

Make your Valentine’s Week unforgettable. And choose from a great selection of flowers, bouquets, candles, chocolates, cakes, soft toys and other novelties. Visit Floralis, your online flower boutique and gear up for celebrating love!

Rose Day

Rose Day

For friends and lovers across the world, February 14 is a special date. It is universally celebrated as Valentine’s Day, the day people express their love for one another. Experts have different opinions regarding the origin of Valentine’s Day but one common theory is that it originated from a Roman, named St. Valentine. He became a martyr who refused to give up Christianity and died on February 14, 269 A.D.

But Valentine celebrations last a full week, starting with Rose Day, which falls on February 7. For centuries, couples, friends and relatives exchange roses, expressing their love and passion for one another. A rose has always been considered a symbol of everlasting togetherness. Although different colors signify different emotions, the core idea of expressing one’s feelings remains unchanged. So if you are planning to make someone feel special this year, begin with Rose Day, which is this Thursday.

While the traditional favorite has always been a red rose, people are now looking for more unique colors to add a personal touch to their expressions. Subtle variations in color have far-fetched connotations, and if you don’t know which one’s what, it is better to read on before making that hasty trip to your florist. Cardinal red denotes sublime love. Burgundy is associated with complimenting someone who is unaware of her beauty; while Fiery Red shows off your passionate feelings in the best possible way.

If you happen to be in a platonic relationship, like friendship, get Yellow Roses. They represent care and concern, signifying the happiness and joy derived from being faithful friends. Having said that, it is best not to let ambiguity spoil your beautiful relationship: refrain from gifting a yellow rose with a red tip as that symbolizes a friendship blossoming into romantic love. You may think, “Who would know the difference?” But the truth is many do!

White Roses stand for purity and innocence and hence, you can never go wrong with them at weddings or anniversaries. A Pink Rose has a lot of versatility; hence it can portray a variety of emotions. If you want to show gratitude or appreciation, stick for darker pink. Lighter pink roses convey admiration or joy. You can combine pink and white roses as a token of non-romantic affection and appreciation for the concerned person.

If you happen to be struck by Cupid, Lavender Roses can speak the unspoken for you. They symbolize love-at-first-sight and the other person’s mesmerizing beauty. Shades of Purple can also do the trick as they exude majestic or elegant beauty. It helps that purple is synonymous with royalty. If you cannot stop fantasizing about a special someone, express how you feel with Orange roses. They stand for desire, enthusiasm and your newfound fascination.
