Cue the music and cue the feels because romance is filling the air! Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday, or Valentine’s Day (coming up sooner than you think), flowers are your not-so-secret weapon. Think romantic bouquets that feature timeless red roses, match their aesthetic, hint at your love story, or happen to be their favorite color. At Phillip’s Flowers, the premier florist in Chicago, we’re all about helping you create those dreamy, cinematic moments IRL. Whether you’re inspired by Gary Chapman’s five love languages, the seven romance styles, or your partner’s hobbies and passions, we’ve got the floral delivery ideas to make your love story bloom even brighter.

Pair Flowers with a Love Note, Poem, or Song Lyrics

Your love note doesn’t have to be a novel. It can be a poem, a few honest lines, or a lyric that instantly makes you think of them. Pair that message with flowers, and you’ve got the ultimate combo for someone whose love language is words of affirmation or has an appreciation romance style. Choose romantic reds for a classic Valentine’s feel, or pick soft seasonal blooms for something sweet and airy. Love, flowers, happy tears, and a heartfelt card they’ll treasure forever sounds like the perfect delivery.

Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat

Romantic gestures don’t have to be dramatic, but they should always be thoughtful. If acts of service is their love language or they have a practical romance style, make their evening easier after a long day at the office. Pick them up with vibrant flowers on the passenger seat and a plan that gives them the night off. You cook dinner, you handle the house, and you manage the chaos of kids or pets. Flowers are sweet, but flowers plus support is next-level.

Plan an Adventurous Day Together

For someone who feels deeply connected through shared experiences, a day of exploring together is the sweetest surprise. Think back to what they’ve been hinting at, like a pottery class, a dance lesson, or something big on their bucket list. Or keep it simple with a day trip to a nearby town you’ve been wanting to explore together. Flowers make the moment feel extra special from the start. Surprise them in the morning with exciting blooms, such as orchids or anthuriums, and share the adventure you’ve planned just for the two of you.

Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together

Some say the best way to their heart is through their stomach…and honestly, they might not be wrong. If your partner’s love language is cooking, baking, or just spending quality time in the kitchen, this is your sign to plan the coziest, cutest date night right at home. Set the mood with fresh flowers on the counter, ingredients prepped like a pro, and music that makes you dance in the kitchen like the main characters in a rom-com. Whether you’re whisking, sipping, or stealing bites off each other’s plates, you’ll be serving up serious romance and the ultimate floral delivery.

Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long

Who says romance has to clock out after February 14th? Keep your love blooming with a flower subscription that delivers fresh blooms every single month. It’s perfect for long-distance relationships when you want a sweet reminder to land at their door again and again, and it’s a major win for gift-lovers who feel seen through thoughtful surprises. Seasonal stems always keep the vibe fresh, bright, and happy throughout the year.

However you speak their love language, gorgeous arrangements from Phillip’s Flowers always understand the assignment.
