Rose bouquets are a classic Valentine’s Day gift for that special person in your life, as these flowers are delicate, fragrant, and symbolize love. Roses are also wonderful companions for other plants, and make an ideal customized gift. Below are a few of the best flowers to add to your Valentine floral arrangement. 

Customize a Valentine’s Day Bouquet With These Flowers

1. Lilies

Lilies add a striking contrast to roses, which is why they are a popular pairing for bouquets. If you don’t want a traditional red bouquet, add oriental or stargazer lilies with roses for a luxurious pink arrangement. Tie them together with a pink ribbon to complete the customized bouquet. 

2. Wax Flowers

These blooms contain five petals with a contrasting center. Though they don’t have as much fragrance as other flowers, their leaves have a unique scent when cut, and it won’t overpower roses. For a pink-based look, match pink roses with lavender, pink, and white wax flowers. Place the colorful arrangement in a clear or lavender vase to complete the piece. 

3. Daisies

With vibrant yellow centers and white petals, daisies are lovely standalone flowers. However, they can fill a floral arrangement and perfectly contrast with roses of any color without taking away from their charm. Match white roses with daisies for an all-white, classic look, pair yellow roses with daisies to accentuate their yellow center, or select traditional red roses to strikingly contrast with the white pedals.  

4. White Sinuata 

These flowers are often used for dried flower arrangements, but they also pair nicely with fresh roses. The tiny papery flowers are clustered along the stems, and though they come in several colors like pink and yellow, the white variety is a popular addition to red and pink rose bouquets.

5. Carnations

For a contrast that goes beyond color, look no further than carnations. They come in more than five colors, and their ruffled petals stand out against the smoothness of a rose. To customize a rich, colorful arrangement, select orange, yellow, light blue, white, and pink carnations and pair them with white roses. It’s an ideal choice if you want a bright, vibrant Valentine’s Day bouquet.
