For girls who love receiving flowers from their partner, you need to consider this date idea that is more meaningful and (possibly more affordable) than buying a ready-made bouquet from a physical store.
For our 1st anniversary, my boyfriend surprised me and brought me to a preserved flower shop called Lee Flora. He told me to pick out our favourite flowers individually and we would be bringing it home to create a bouquet for each other. Honestly I loved the idea right away! Because I could get a flower bouquet from him and it was so much more meaningful than just buying one off the shelves.
This flower shop has an incredible range of preserved flowers, and there were so many hydrangeas hanging from the ceiling which is also my favorite flower! I was honestly a little overwhelmed trying to decide which side flowers would pair well with them.
We each picked our own favourite main flower, and made a collective decision for the rest since the flowers could be shared between both bouquet designs. My boyfriend spent about $70+ in total excluding other materials such as rope and wrapping paper.
After the shopping spree, we headed back to start on the bouquet! I recommend trimming some of the stalks so that it’s not too long. It was a really therapeutic and fun session as we get to mix and match different flowers together. For the wrapping part, I wasn’t really sure so I googled for the steps and it turned out pretty decent!
So guys… if you’re reading this and thinking “my girlfriend would love this,” take it as your sign to add this to your next date idea list.
It doesn’t have to be for a birthday or special celebration either, it’s perfect for any casual date day when you just want to do something fun and different together
