How to Receive Romantic Blooms from Your Partner Outside of Valentine’s Day
Nothing compares to the charm of a well-thought-out, romantic bouquet of flowers delivered to your doorstep simply “just because.” Knowing that your partner went out of their way to connect with a florist, select romantic or symbolic flowers to express their feelings, and even include a heartfelt card message fills you with butterflies – especially if it’s not even Valentine’s Day! Sometimes, partners overlook this sweet gesture, not due to lack of love, but because it honestly slips their minds. If this sounds familiar, the expert florists here at Expressions Unlimited, the best flower shop in Greenville, are sharing tips for subtly suggesting to your partner the brilliant idea of sending you “just because” flowers.

How to Drop Hints
Enthusiastically comment on the flowers your friends receive
Bring them to your favorite local flower shop
Point out your favorite flowers and say, “If you’re ever wondering what kind of flowers I would like, these are the best for any occasion.”
Express your great love of flowers and how amazing it would be to have them in the home more often, especially while celebrating special occasions. There’s a fair likelihood they’ll get the hint.
For a last-ditch effort, make it easy for them. You can say something like, “Since receiving gifts is my love language, it would make me feel so good if you sent me some flowers every now and then. I’ve even set reminders on your calendar and included a list of my favorite flowers to help you.”
