Cracking the code on how your partner best receives love is low-key a relationship superpower. Every birthday gift, anniversary surprise, or Valentine’s Day present is another chance to get it right. Pro-tip: Flowers are the easiest win. Maybe they’re all about a bouquet of red roses that feels straight out of a movie, or maybe they prefer playful, colorful stems that match their personality. Once you pick the blooms, you still have the delivery moment to plan. Do you go unexpected and early, or dramatic and right on time? You can totally use Gary Chapman’s tried-and-true love languages, romance styles (newer but super helpful), and their hobbies as your guide. At Perro’s Flowers in Worcester, Massachusetts, we have all the inspo and behind-the-scenes know-how to help you hit a romantic home run.

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

Sometimes the realest gift isn’t something wrapped in a box, it’s what you finally say out loud. For anyone who lives on words of affirmation, that honest message is proof they matter the literal most. Your job is to choose the style that fits them. Maybe they swoon over dramatic poetry, obsess over perfect song lyrics, or just want something in your own voice. Once you’ve nailed it, write the message in a card and sign it with love. Add their favorite flowers and the whole moment becomes pure chef’s kiss: romantic, tender, unforgettable magic.

Pick Them Up From Work with Flowers on the Passenger Seat

In a world where everyone is “so busy,” choosing to slow things down for your sweetie is kind of wild (in the best way). It’s especially meaningful if they swear by a practical romance style or live for acts of service. First, handle the home situation. Straighten up, take care of the basics, and make sure they don’t walk into chaos later. Then drive over to pick them up from work with blooms waiting in the front seat. Tell them tonight is all about them and let them call the shots. That huge, slightly shocked smile when they realize you planned it all? That’s literally the best reward.

Plan an Adventurous Day Together

Some love languages are fed by sweet, everyday moments, but others are “Go big or go home.” If your partner’s the adventurous type, this is 100 percent your sign. Step one: pick the adventure. Maybe it’s snorkeling in the ocean, skiing down a mountain, or a surprise weekend away. Step two: plan the ins and outs and order a big bouquet for the big reveal. We suggest exotic, tropical blossoms to match the moment. Then, put it all in motion and tell them the score while you hand over the arrangement. If your person lives and breathes quality time, fun experiences, and shared activities, this kind of surprise is going to land perfectly.

Brighten the Kitchen with Blooms While You Bake or Cook Together

Food is literally joy on a plate, and our brains reward us every time with all those feel good brain messages. So it totally checks out that for some people, cooking or baking together is pure romance. To surprise them in a way that feels super thoughtful, plan a shared cooking night. Do all the prep beforehand, mise en place if you want to flex a little. Make sure the kitchen’s deep cleaned, set out flowers in a vase, and line up a solid playlist. When they arrive, all that’s left is cooking, laughing, taste testing, and finally sitting down to eat. That whole night will replay in your heads for ages.

Ensure They Have Fresh Stems All Year Long

A floral subscription for your partner is basically you saying, “I love you” times twelve, without even having to remember dates. Fresh stems are dropped at their door every month like clockwork. You can switch up each bouquet based on the season, important moments in your couples’ timeline, or let your florist literally create something new every time. It’s right on point for partners with a love language that lives somewhere between receiving thoughtful gifts and emotional support. Flowers are part present, part ongoing experience, too. They brighten the room, calm the mood, and give them little bursts of joy every time they walk by.

Flowers always understand the assignment, especially when you tweak the bouquet to match their quirks and pair it with their exact love language. However you choose to roll out the romance, Perro’s Flowers is your built-in sidekick, sending custom blooms that make them feel seen, spoiled, and seriously loved every single time.
