Behind the Blooms: How We Craft the Perfect Valentine’s Day Bouquet

A behind-the-scenes look at the busiest (and most love-filled) time of year at Beija Flor!

1. The Countdown Begins – Preparing for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is our biggest floral event of the year, and planning starts weeks in advance.

We carefully forecast demand based on past years to ensure we have the freshest flowers in stock.

Our team finalises the Valentine’s Collection—curating bouquets that capture romance, passion, and joy.

Every bouquet is thoughtfully designed, photographed, and added to our website—so you can browse, choose, and order with ease.

2. The Flowers Arrive – Fresh, Fabulous Ready for Love

As Valentine’s Day approaches, our store fills with fresh flowers, arriving daily from both local and interstate growers.

Interstate blooms include premium roses, hydrangeas, and fragrant oriental lilies.

Locally grown beauties—like tropical heliconias and lush greenery—add a touch of Darwin’s unique floral magic.

Each stem is processed, trimmed, and hydrated according to its specific preferences to keep it looking fresh for longer.

Our walk-in chiller ensures that every flower stays perfectly crisp, no matter how hot it gets outside.

3. The Art of the Bouquet – Crafting Each Arrangement with Care

This is where the magic happens! Every Valentine’s bouquet is handcrafted to order.

The classic red rose bouquet is always a favourite, but we also love incorporating soft pinks, delicate natives, and vibrant tropical touches.

Every arrangement is wrapped beautifully, finished with a handwritten card, and checked for perfection before heading out for delivery.

💐 The Ultimate Valentine’s Bouquet – 6 Dozen Roses!
For those going all out, we have the Showstopper 6 Dozen Rose Bouquet—a breathtaking arrangement of 72 premium red roses. Creating this bouquet is a true feat of floristry, with armfuls of roses carefully arranged into one jaw-dropping design.

📽 Watch our florists wrangle this beauty into place!

With so many bouquets to deliver, our team personally hand-delivers each one in our specially equipped chiller vans—keeping flowers fresh even in Darwin’s heat.

There’s nothing quite like seeing someone’s face light up when they receive a surprise bouquet—this is why we do what we do!

Last-minute orders? We’ve got you! Our same-day delivery ensures no one is left empty-handed on Valentine’s Day.

By February 14, our store is buzzing with energy, with florists, drivers, and customers all caught up in the excitement.

We take hundreds of orders, wrap countless bouquets, and deliver love all across Darwin—and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Whether it’s a romantic surprise, a Galentine’s gift, or a self-love bouquet, we love being part of your special moments.

6. Love Stories & Shared Moments

We love hearing from our customers, especially when we get feedback like this on our Half Dozen Hugs Bouquet:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Amazing customer service and the flowers arrived on time and beautifully. Will definitely order again in future."

But the real joy? Seeing your flowers out in the world! There’s nothing better than watching recipients unwrap their bouquets, snap a photo, and share the love.
