Paper Bouquet

While flowers are universally beloved for their delightful fragrance and obvious beauty, they're also known to wilt fairly quickly—and love shouldn't be like that, now should it? This year, encapsulate your amour in something a little more long-lasting: a paper bouquet. Made bespoke by The Paper Blooms, these gorgeous arrangements are all handmade from paper. It looks just as realistic as if you'd plucked them from your garden, but are a little more enduring as long as they're handled delicately. A wonderful reminder that can last your loved one years! 

Cupcake Bouquet

Who doesn't want a little sugar this Valentine's Day? Home-based bakery, On The Flour, offers romantic clientele the chance at gifting their loved ones a cupcake bouquet. Based in Cebu, On The Flour is known for creating confectionery creations in the shape of succulents, roses, hydrangeas and more. It's a beautiful (and edible!) reminder of how sweet love can be!  

Chocolate Bouquet

These days, a box of chocolates may not cut it anymore. For a bit of a twist, consider Flower Chimp Philippines' chocolate bouquet. Flower Chimp, which has bases in multiple Southeast Asian countries, offers beautifully arranged bouquets that feature flowers alongside some of your favourite sweets. These include the classic Ferrero Rocher, as well as Hershey's, M&M's, Toblerone, and many more.

Champagne Bouquet Box

For something a little luxe, try Fiori di Adela's champagne bouquet box. A mini Moët (or Jack Daniel's, your choice) comes to rest atop a lush bed of vibrant flowers. It's romantic, it's thoughtful, and if it gets you a little drunk, then all the better for all the fun planned this St Valentine's Day. 

Macaron Bouquet Box

Fiora Manila's macaron roulette provides an interesting take on the usual pairing of candy and flowers. Featuring 16 different macarons, it's a deliciously exciting way to ring in the upcoming holiday. Not to mention, the brand also features a smaller (but just as exciting) rose box with six macarons, and even one with mini jars of Nutella. 

Balloon Bouquet

Balloons have always been a cute way to celebrate, but aren't we all tired of the usual arrangements. Take it up a notch with BLLOONS' Flubble arrangement, or even with their simpler, yet more romantic Bouquet style. Either way, it's an exciting—and grand—way to remind the person you love that you care for them.
