Women often complain that men are not romantic enough.
Men sometimes have trouble expressing their feelings and often resort to cheesy wishes or tacky gifts when there is a much better way to be romantic. In the olden days, when courting ladies was a very formal and dignified affair, certain symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts. In the Victorian era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers. Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed different meanings and expressed the feelings and intentions of the gentleman. Each bouquet contained a secret message which the lady could eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
Nowadays, the gift of flowers has become a somewhat vapid cliché. Restoring this tradition will breathe new life and romance into this gesture and bring back the delicacy, mystery and fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put a lot more effort into choosing flowers than if you bought a bouquet from the local supermarket. You will come across as a true gentleman and a hopeless romantic. It can become a wonderful tradition that you both enjoy.
Here is a partial list of flower meanings to help you begin to understand the language of flowers.

Before you shop at the florist or through a floral online store, spend some time thinking about the type of flowers this person likes. While most people love red roses, there are many people who prefer colorful bouquets of wildflowers, tulips or sunflowers instead. Next, take a look at the different floral arrangements. Some come in beautiful vases, others are in simple vases that let the flowers stand out.
Once you have sent the flowers to the recipient, don't be afraid to take the next steps to check with the recipient to see how the delivery went and what quality the flowers were delivered in. Sometimes it happens that a bouquet is delivered that the recipient does not like. If you mention that you want to make sure the arrangement looks fresh and that it contains the right number of flowers, the recipient will likely be much more forthcoming about the condition of the bouquet. If a problem arises, contact the florist where you placed the order. After all, the person who receives your bouquet should get what you paid for.
