The Symbolism and Meaning Behind Proposal Flowers
Flowers have long been a symbol of love, and the right bloom can beautifully convey your emotions and make the proposal even more meaningful.
A Timeless Tradition
The tradition of gifting flowers during proposals dates back centuries. In Victorian times, each flower held a specific meaning, allowing lovers to communicate their feelings through a carefully curated bouquet. While the language of flowers may have evolved, the sentiment remains - presenting your partner with their favourite blooms shows how deeply you know and care for them.
Roses: The Eternal Symbol of Love
When it comes to proposals, red roses are a classic choice. These velvety petals represent passionate, unwavering love - the perfect embodiment of the commitment you're about to make. For a modern twist, consider combining red roses with other blooms that hold personal significance, creating a unique and heartfelt arrangement. If not, go for a classic 99 Roses Bouquet, the most majestic expression of love in floral language.

Their vibrant hues and delicate petals add a touch of whimsy to this romantic gesture.
Orchids: Exotic Beauty and Strength

Pair orchids with other lush, tropical flowers for a truly unforgettable proposal bouquet.
Personalised Proposal Bouquets
Of course, the most meaningful proposal flowers are those that hold special significance for you and your partner. Perhaps you shared your first kiss under a blossoming cherry tree or picked wildflowers together on a hike. Incorporating these sentimental blooms into your proposal bouquet will make the moment even more personal and emotional.
No matter which flowers you choose, presenting your partner with a thoughtfully crafted bouquet is sure to make your proposal one they'll cherish forever. So, take the time to select blooms that truly represent your love story, and let the petals do the talking when you finally pop the question.
Keeping Your Bouquet Fresh: Proposal Flower Care Tips
In Singapore’s heat and humidity, bouquets need to be taken care of to prevent wilting. After all, you want the blooms to look their best when you get down on one knee. Let's dive into some top tips for keeping your proposal bouquet fresh as a daisy.
