Who said you have to stick to red roses for Valentine’s Day? Give your sweetheart a beautiful mixed bunch of flowers this year, something special and unique. Buy one or two beautiful flowers and round it off with a few green stems from your garden. Or order a bouquet of indigenous flowers.
Says flower expert Dané Erwee from Okasie: “Go for a more exotic bouquet of flowers with round shapes and pointed flowers. Let some of the longer flowers stick up above the greenery and the bouquet will immediately look bigger and more luxurious.”
