Express your relationship, not a ready-made romantic script
Red roses are one option rather than a requirement. Recall the person’s favourite palette, the style of your time together and how expressive the gesture should feel. Soft colours, a contrasting designer arrangement or a simple mono bouquet may sound more personal than a conventional choice.
A light format often suits the beginning of a relationship without making the moment overly formal. Couples with a shared history can use a colour, flower or detail linked to a memory and explain that choice in a few lines on the card.
