Roses: are the quintessential flower for expressing romantic love. Red roses most directly communicate passion and desire.

Lilies: symbolize devotion, especially the oriental varieties like stargazers. Their imposing size and lush blooms make them feel lavish.  

Tulips: have been historically given as a declaration of love. Their sweet cup shape feels romantic.

Red: blooms signal passion, attraction, and the desire associated with erotic love. 

Pink: communicates the first blushes of romance, affection, and gentle emotion.

White: conveys purity, innocence, and new beginnings - fitting for couples at the start of a marriage commitment.

How you arrange and offer up the blooms also matters. Stunning engagement flower displays.

Making an effort with a presentation demonstrates the depth of your love on a day when it's already prominently on display.

While many flowers would be suitable for offering your betrothed when you pop the question, there are a few varieties that may be optimal choices.

* As mentioned, red roses are the classic way to say I love you in the floral language. 

* They're available year-round, but limit yourself to 1-2 dozen - you don't want an over-the-top number detracting from the main gift of the ring itself.

* Select the freshest, fullest, and unblemished blooms and have them professionally arranged.

 "I was initially worried that proposing with a dozen red roses would feel cliché. But seeing my partner's eyes light up when she saw that timeless symbol of romance told me I'd made the right call." - Jeff, 32

* With their sweet, inclining form, tulips have a natural air of romance about them.  

* Choose richly hued reds, blushing pinks, or even pure white - all symbolizing love in their way.

* Mix varieties Combine standard tulips with delicate French tulips for layered texture and shape. 

* In particular, Asiatic hybrids like solid-colored Stargazers project a lavish, decadent beauty fitting for Baroque art. 

* They tend to naturally grow facing upwards - symbolically reaching for the light like your burgeoning love.

* Because of their imposing height and presence, a smaller arranged grouping can make a dramatic statement.

* With their cheery disposition and vibrant, layered petals, these pops of floral joy embody the delight associated with engagements.

* Mix colors for contrast and radiance - bright pink, ruby reds, and sunny yellows.

* Their more casual, whimsical nature lends well to a petite wildflower-type bouquet presentation.

While selecting the varieties of flowers with symbolism resonant with this milestone is most essential, you'll also want to carefully consider how to artfully offer them up for maximum romance.

* Having flowers professionally arranged into a bouquet demonstrates forethought.

* Wrap stems in an upscale paper, fine lace, or fabric that complements the blooms.  

* Incorporate accent greenery like trailing ivy vines or fern fronds.

* Weave in ribbons that pick up colors from the arrangement - wrap at the stems or trailing as display tendrils.

Bouquets are wonderful because your beloved can proudly carry them around while celebrating your engagement before eventually drying and pressing them to commemorate the day.

* Select a special vase with visual weight - crystal, porcelain, or hammered metal all convey value.  

* Use floral foam, chicken wire, frogs, or grid structures to position blooms.

* Incorporate non-floral decorative elements into the arrangement - photos from your relationship, charms with personal meaning, candles, etc.

A composed vase allows your betrothed to decorate their home with flowers commemorating the day you took the next step in your love story.
