Flowers are like the silent storytellers of gifting — they’re bright, timeless, and packed with meaning that’s 100 percent on-point. But when you want to double the impact, try pairing the floral arrangement with something special. For any occasion — be it Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or a random Wednesday (why not?) — we at Shirley’s Flower Studio in Bentonville, Arkansas have crafted the ultimate flower-and-present pairing guide. Now you can match your blooms with the perfect add-ons and curate a gesture that speaks louder than words!

Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate

Some pairs are just iconic and always will be: peanut butter and jelly, coffee and cream, movies and popcorn. But on Valentine’s Day, it’s all about red roses and chocolate, and for good reasons. They’ve got that magic balance we love so much — chocolate is decadent, sweet, and oh-so-satisfying, while roses are elegant, fragrant, and loaded with romantic vibes. And let’s not forget what red roses stand for (and have since forever): love, passion, and straight-up romance. This absolutely delicious duo? Totally unmatched.

Pink Roses and Prosecco

Pink roses are one of our favorite flowers — delicate, lovely, and brimming with admiration and gratitude. That’s why they’re so perfect for Mom, who’s the queen of showing up and being incredible. But let’s not stop at blossoms: Add a bottle of sparkling Prosecco to the party because we all know Mom isn’t just sweetness — she’s got a little edge, too. The combo is like a love letter she can toast to, reminding her how appreciated she is while giving her a chance to savor the moment.

Bird of Paradise and an IPA

Looking to gift your one-of-a-kind dad something fresh and beautiful? Birds of paradise are the way to go. These tropical gems rock bold colors and that “bird in flight” shape that’s so gorgeous. They’re not just eye candy — they symbolize happiness and unfettered freedom, giving total dad-energy as they remind us of how he always encourages us to go our own way. Pro tip: Pair them with a craft IPA or a slick bottle of cab for a combo that promises to be unforgettable.

Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket

Purple orchids are the total package; these stunning blooms have super meaningful symbolism: admiration, respect, and that “crown-worthy” energy. They’re practically made for grandma and grandpa, who are basically the embodiment of these words. And let’s not forget the super long life of orchids, which is a sweet nod to the lasting bond we share with our grandparents. Throw in a fancy snack basket packed with cheese, nuts, crackers, and other savory goodies, and voila, you have a present as heartfelt as it is delicious.

Yellow Lilies and Balloons

When it’s time to celebrate Admin Prof Day or just say thanks to a stellar coworker or friend, yellow lilies come in clutch with their bright, happy feels. These blooms radiate gratitude and positivity. Add some gladiolus to the arrangement for a little drama (the good kind) and a nod to the recipient’s fortitude and integrity. Want to make it extra fun? Bring in a balloon — it’s basically happiness on a string. The result? A gift that’s all about good vibes and major appreciation for someone awesome.

Here at Shirley’s Flower Studio, we’re all about presents that hit different. Pairing gorgeous flowers with an extra meaningful surprise makes your gift as unforgettable as the person it’s for.
