From long-stemmed settings to elaborate designs, Petalier has created a range of floral arrangements for the romantic holiday
The act of giving a rose has been a recurring symbol in cinema and pop culture. In The Bachelor, a rose ceremony signifies a contestant’s continuation in the competition. In Pretty Woman, Richard Gere’s Edward gives Julia Roberts’ character, Vivian, a bouquet of roses, climbing up the fire escape to reunite with her as a grand romantic gesture.
In another 90s flick, Patrick, Heath Ledger’s character in 10 Things I Hate About You, hands Kat Stratford a single-stem rose at prom. Meanwhile, in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the “enchanted rose” symbolizes hope. Just like in the movies, the tradition of giving a rose on Valentine’s Day shows love and admiration, a symbol of affection.
This season, flower boutique Petalier continues this tradition with their Valentine’s Day catalogue with a variety of rose arrangements, from fresh classics to preserved playful sets, that suit your loved one’s personality or tastes.
Long-stemmed roses
Grown in the Andean mountains, Ecuadorian roses are sought after flowers known for their thick stems, large buds, and rich color saturation. For this season, Petalier presents an exclusive collection of long-stemmed roses called “Le Haute Rose” that stand up to 3.5 to 4 feet from Single Stem, 15-piece set for Grand Round and Jumbo Square composed of roses of up to 50 stems.
Heart-shaped bouquets
Make a statement with an arrangement of pink and red blooms in the form of heart-shaped rose bouquets such as Lovestruck, Amour, Amore Overload, and Love, a basket bouquet of roses. Its grand design is ideal for a living room display placed on a coffee or console table, making it the focal point of the room.
Animal-shaped
For the furparent or animal lover, the Paw-ever Crush, Puppy Love, Cub’s Kisses will appreciate the animal-shaped rose designs you can display in the bedroom. To make it last for up to 10 years, Petalier preserves Ecuadorian roses from Rose Amour™, a flower company that preserves flowers from Ecuador.
Marble-domed or mirror acrylic
Encased in glass domes or acrylic boxes, these preserved roses evoke timeless romance a la Beauty and the Beast. With delicate designs, soft lighting, and even musical features, they make ideal gifts for a partner, a close friend or a sentimental loved one. Place the dome on a nightstand, bookshelf or coffee table for a touch of whimsy in your space.
Marking nine years in the floral industry, Petalier expands its presence, especially this Valentine’s season with four exclusive pop-ups across Manila including a flower bar with a variety of flowers at Power Plant Mall and The Podium where customers can create personalized arrangments.
