Figuring out what actually makes your sweetie feel seen and loved can feel like trying to crack a secret code. Birthday celebrations, anniversary nights, and of course Valentine’s Day all put that question in the spotlight. One thing we know for sure: flowers never miss. If they’re obsessed with a dramatic bundle of red roses, we totally get it. If they light up for colorful mixed blooms or something wild and unique, go for it. Once you pick the bouquet, the real fun starts. When do you surprise them? How do you deliver it so it feels iconic? That is where the five love languages (we see you, Gary Chapman), their favorite hobbies, and the seven romance styles come in hot. At Kittelberger Florist in Webster, New York, we’re here to help you create a romantic gesture that stuns.

Pair Flowers with a Love Note, Poem, or Song Lyrics

For anyone whose love language = words of affirmation, a straight-from-the-heart message from you is absolutely everything. It’s how they know, deep in their soul, that they’re your everything. The fun part is choosing your style. Are they into dreamy poetry, obsessed with song lyrics, or all about simple honesty that sounds exactly like you? Once the words feel right, write them in a card and tuck it beside the blooms they’re obsessed with. Together, the moment feels straight up chef’s kiss.

Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat

Slowing down sounds cute in theory, but in real life it’s tough when everything feels non-stop. That’s why doing it on purpose for your partner is such an elite move. If their love style leans toward the practical or they’re big on acts of service, this is peak romance. First, get the house handled. Clean up, take care of the chores, and clear their to do list as much as possible. Then scoop them from work with a bouquet riding shotgun and tell them they’re off duty. Let them choose the date night details. That smile when they realize it’s literally all for them will live rent free in your head forever.

Plan an Adventurous Day Together

Some love languages rely everyday sweetness, while others are like, “Surprise me with something huge.” If your partner’s in that second group, it’s adventure time! Start with the logistics: pick the big experience, lock in the plans, and line up a bouquet for the moment you spill the tea. Go for something bold and tropical so the flowers match the energy. Then, when everything’s set, surprise them by saying you’re taking them scuba diving, cross-country skiing, or exploring somewhere totally new. If your person lives for QT, shared memories, and fun activities done as a team, this kind of surprise is going to hit in the best way.

Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together

Food is one of life’s peak pleasures, and every bite basically gives your brain a little happiness boost. So it makes total sense that for some people, cooking and baking are the ultimate love language. To really wow them, set up a joint cooking night that feels like your own mini cooking show. Prep all the ingredients ahead of time, full mise en place energy. Put fresh flowers in a vase on the counter, light a candle or two, and make sure the kitchen is spotless when they walk in. Then cook, laugh, and enjoy the energy together. Finally, sit down, eat your meal, and lock in a new core memory.

Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long

A floral subscription is like the gift that keeps soft-launching itself every month, and honestly, we love that. Fresh flowers just show up at their door on repeat, and how cute is that? You can tweak each bouquet to match the season, celebrate their big wins, or highlight blooms they’re obsessed with. Or you can tell your florist, “surprise them!” It’s 100 percent the move for those whose language of love is gifts and emotional support rolled into one. Flowers are a whole experience, too, turning the coffee table or desk into a tiny oasis that boosts their mood all week long.

Flowers basically invented romance, and honestly, they still run the game. Customize the design to their sweet little preferences and line it up with their love language, and you’re golden. Whatever delivery moment you dream up, Kittelberger Florist is your backstage crew, sending petals that make them light up on sight, every time.
