Valentine's Day is almost here, and nothing says "I love you" quite like a stunning bouquet of fresh flowers. Whether you're celebrating passionate romance, deep admiration, or sweet friendship, the right blooms can make the day unforgettable.
At Irvine Village Flowers in Irvine, we're gearing up for February 14, 2026, with our freshest selections and expert arrangements. Here are our top picks for the best Valentine's Day flowers this year—classics that never fail, plus some exciting 2026 trends to wow your special someone.
1. Red Roses – The Ultimate Classic
No list is complete without them! Red roses symbolize passionate, fiery love and remain the #1 choice for Valentine's Day. Their velvety petals and rich color make them irresistible.
Go for a dozen long-stemmed beauties for timeless elegance, or mix in pink roses for a softer touch of gratitude and admiration. Pro tip: Order early—red roses fly off the shelves!

2. Pink Roses & Multicolor Mixes
For a more modern romantic vibe, pink roses convey grace, appreciation, and gentle affection—perfect for long-term partners or crushes.
We're also loving blended bouquets with reds, pinks, and even lavenders this year for a fresh, personalized feel.
3. Carnations – Affordable & Long-Lasting Love
Don't overlook carnations! These hardy blooms last up to two weeks and come in vibrant reds (for deep love) and pinks (for gratitude).
Heart-shaped carnation arrangements are a fun, bold option that's trending big for 2026.
4. Lilies – Elegant & Fragrant
Stargazer or oriental lilies bring drama with their bold petals and intoxicating scent. White lilies symbolize purity, while orange ones add passion.
Pair them with roses for a luxurious, fragrant bouquet that fills the room with romance.
5. Tulips – Playful Declarations of Love
Red tulips declare "perfect love" in the language of flowers— a chic, budget-friendly alternative to roses.
Their clean lines and vibrant colors make them ideal for modern sweethearts.
6. Orchids – Exotic & Enduring Beauty
For something sophisticated, potted orchids or cut stems symbolize strength, beauty, and luxury. White or pink varieties feel elegant and thoughtful—great for lasting love.
7. Emerging 2026 Trends: Sculptural & Unique Stems
This year, we're seeing a rise in bold, artistic designs! Think heart-shaped anthuriums (those glossy, red "hearts" are perfect for Valentine's), dramatic protea for architectural wow-factor, and soft ranunculus for layered romance.
These sculptural arrangements appeal to customers wanting something unique and Instagram-worthy—pair them with sustainable touches for eco-conscious romance.
