Best Flowers for Valentine’s Day Scotland 2026

Valentine’s Day falls on Saturday 14th February 2026, and it’s one of the biggest flower-giving days of the year. Across Scotland and the rest of the UK, partners, spouses and secret admirers will be sending Valentine’s bouquets to say “I love you”, “Shall we make this official?” or perhaps even, “Will you marry me?”.

At Williamson’s My Florist, we’ve been helping romantic Scots say it with flowers since 1935. In this guide, our cupids (who side hustle as expert florists!) share the best flowers for Valentine’s Day in 2026, how to choose the right bouquet for your relationship, and what you need to know about Valentine’s Day flower delivery in Scotland.

Cupid makes it look easy. If you’re unsure about choosing the perfect Valentine’s Day flowers, here are some helpful tips from our Scottish florists:

1. How would you describe your relationship?

• New relationship: Opt for pink roses, tulips or mixed seasonal bouquets.
• Long-term relationship / spouse: You can’t go wrong with classic red roses or a luxurious mixed bouquet.
• Secret admirer: Make your feelings known with softer colours or a fun, vibrant mix.

2. Consider your Valentine’s style

• If they’re more taken by classic styles, then red or pink roses and elegant hand-tied bouquets will be spot-on.
• If they gravitate to modern, tulips, orchids or clean, minimal designs will go down a treat.
• If, like you, they’re quite the romantic, then stick with red and say it straight from the heart.

3. Keep colour in mind

Colour is charged with symbolism and, therefore, is a big part of any flower purchase.

• Red is for passion and romance.
• Pink conveys affection and admiration.
• White or cream signal new beginnings or timelessness.
• Mixed colours mean fun, vibrant and less formal.

If in doubt, our award-winning florists are happy to recommend a bouquet based on a few details about your Valentine. Ask our florists for advice.

It’s not always easy to come up with things to write in a Valentine’s Day card, although AI does help take the edge off these days! You’d be surprised how often customers ask our florists for advice on this matter. Over the years, we’ve come up with some good suggestions that could help you out:

• Use their name or, better yet, your nickname for them.
• Keep it personal – maybe share a memory, an endearing habit, or remind them of an inside joke.
• Don’t feel pressure to become a poet. A single honest sentence is more powerful than any flowery (pardon the pun) tribute.
• Stay natural – be yourself and don’t force anything.
• Perhaps tell them something you love about them – it might be their kindness, great sense of humour, or ability to juggle life.
• Endings such as “Love”, “Forever” and “Yours” are perfect.
