Each year, the floral industry sells and delivers nearly $2 billion worth of roses throughout the world. While close to 75% of those are sent to spouses or significant others, it’s extra-sweet to remember friends and family members on such a special day, too. This year, the floral designers at Al’s Florist are ready to assist you as you celebrate all the love in your life – with parents, grandparents, siblings and even that single friend that may not be expecting anything at all!

Consider the array of rose colors to choose when selecting a Valentine’s bouquet. Historically, a rose’s color has been attached to a specific meaning. So while you may choose a classic red to send to your sweetheart, there are creative choices you can make when it comes to the other special people in your life.

* Are you thankful for everything your mom or grandmother has done for you? Send her a mixture of dark, light and bright pink roses to communicate your gratitude and admiration.

* Want to let your single best friend know you’re thinking of her? Let her know how much you value her friendship with cheerful yellow blooms.

* What about the special daughter or niece in your life? Brighten her day with simple white roses. Add balloons, cookies, or chocolates for an extra special delivery!

Love can be felt and expressed in so many different ways. Celebrate all the love with all the special people in your life with the time-honored tradition of sending colorful roses – or choose lilies, orchids, or daisies! Regardless of your floral choice, you can be sure that all of the loves in your life will feel celebrated!
