Whether you’re shopping for a fan of the royals this Valentine’s Day, or simply want to treat yourself to some royally-approved blooms, the ladies of the monarchy have excellent taste that’s sure to inspire a gorgeous bouquet.
From Princess Catherine’s elegant taste in seasonal blooms to Queen Camilla and Duchess Sophie’s fondness for classic arrangements, florals remain a timeless way to say everything without saying too much. Several types of flowers are said to symbolise love, romance, and devotion.
Roses, in particular, hold a special place in tradition: both for Valentine’s Day in general and for the Royal Family. Over the years, the family has commissioned and celebrated new varieties to mark anniversaries and milestones, cementing flowers as more than a gift. While we don’t know exactly how the royals will mark Valentine’s Day this year, we’ve curated an edit of floral displays they’d almost certainly approve of, and all are available to order now with delivery in time for February 14.
If you want to stick with a classic bouquet this year, Prestige Flowers is currently offering up to 50% off selected designs. Their heart-shaped hat box filled with 12 red roses is reduced to £59.99 from £79.99.

If you’re keen to move away from classic roses, a softer, more meaningful option inspired by Princess Catherine is well worth considering.
Hyacinths are known to be one of the Princess’s favourite flowers and famously featured in her wedding bouquet, said to symbolise steady love: a sentiment closely associated with her marriage.
This vibrant arrangement from Marks and Spencer includes 17 stems of cerise hyacinths, alongside cerise, purple and orange tulips, creating a fresh yet romantic mix. One shopper praised the bouquet, writing: “Lovely flowers, bright and long lasting. A great purchase.”
What really sets M&S apart is the fact that there’s no postage fee on flowers and gifts. This includes nominated day delivery, which can be selected as soon as the day after ordering.
Some flowers do need to be ordered in advance, but the M&S website clearly shows when each item is available for delivery if next-day shipping isn’t an option. If you’re short on time, there’s also a dedicated section where M&S rounds up all the bouquets and gift packages that can arrive the very next day.
Valentine’s Day flowers are now available for pre-orders and can be delivered on February 14 or on a nominated day of your choice.
If you’re drawn to something more meaningful and sustainable, forget-me-nots carry a royal resonance of their own. Meghan Markle included the delicate bloom in her wedding bouquet, a flower long associated with Princess Diana.
And this quietly symbolic edge feels especially fitting for Valentine’s Day. We love this beautiful and affordable potted forget-me-not plant from Not On The High Street, as it’s a little bit different to your classic bouquet. Because it’s potted, it’ll last well beyond February 14 and will continue to bloom after the day has passed. The potted plant is currently just £27.20, down from its usual £32.
It can also be personalised with a name, date or initials etched beneath a small heart, making it a keepsake designed to be cherished.
Standard delivery costs £1.70 and should arrive within four days. There’s also the option to choose express delivery for £4.99.
This generous, pastel-toned bouquet is a beautifully romantic choice, inspired by Duchess Sophie’s wedding flowers, where freesias symbolised trust and lasting devotion. If you want to combine freesias into your Valentine’s bouquet, we’ve spotted a gorgeous pastel option from Moonpig.
Featuring soft pink roses, lilac stock, delicate purple veronica, and of course, four stems of soft lilac freesia, it offers a lighter alternative to classic red blooms while still feeling undeniably special.
The mix of textures and shades gives it a fresh, garden-picked feel that’s elegant rather than overdone. It’s a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift for anyone who loves pink florals and meaningful symbolism wrapped into one stunning arrangement.
Granted, ordering from Moonpig isn’t quite as cheap as popping to the supermarket for a card and some flowers, but you’re paying a little extra for convenience. One particularly useful feature of the Moonpig website is the ability to filter by price point, so you can set a budget.
Valentine’s Day flowers are available to pre-order for delivery from February 6, 2026, with the option to choose your delivery day (between 8am and 11pm). If you do leave things until the last minute, you can order flowers and a card by 11pm for next-day delivery.
Moonpig delivery costs vary depending on what you order and how quickly you need it, but flower postage generally costs between £5.99 and £7.99 for tracked delivery.
