February 14 is only 4 days away. Are you trying to prepare for Valentine’s Day but scrambling for ideas? You want to make this year a memorable one, something they won’t forget.
As your local Toronto Valentine’s Day florist for over a decade, we’ve experienced enough February 14ths to know that one of the most romantic ways to spice up any date is to go that extra step by decorating the venue of your date with fresh rose petals. We have three colours available: cream rose petals, red rose petals and light pink rose petals. Use one colour for one area, or mix two or more shades together to create a more dramatic effect!
Here are 7 of the most romantic ways to use fresh rose petals:
1. Sprinkle them along the path going toward the table, sofa or bed – or wherever the most important part of your date is scheduled to take place. Doing this sets the mood, putting them into the right mindset.
2. Toss a handful into the box, bag or package of the gift you’re going to give them. Or better, yet, forget the tissue paper altogether and use rose petals instead.
3. Strew fresh rose petals all over the bed, and cover yourself with them (preferably while not wearing anything else!)
4. A few sprinkled into a shallow glass bowl filled with water makes a beautiful decorative piece. Add a floating candle to complete the effect.
5. A pure white tablecloth scattered with lush red rose petals makes a gorgeous setting for an intimate dinner for two. You may even want to bring them to the restaurant, but make sure they’ll match the tablecloth (as a courtesy, you may also want to inform the staff beforehand).
6. Surprise your loved one by preparing a hot bath, sprinkled with rose petals. The hot water will release some of the essential oils trapped in the petals, making it delicately fragrant.
7. If you’re decorations include balloons, put a handful of petals into each balloon before blowing them up. Use clear balloons and red rose petals to achieve the best effect.
