Petals and Presents: The Best Combos for Special Occasions


Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, a special occasion, or one of those just because moments, a bouquet of flowers always hits the mark. That’s why they’re a classic — the perfect gift every time. Plus, when you’re in the mood to go big and add a little extra something, flowers are the present that pair well with anything. Imagine the look on your loved one’s face when they get not one, but two amazing surprises! To help you out, we at Central Square Florist — Boston’s go-to spot for blooms — put together a list of top-notch gifts to level up your flower delivery.

Red Roses and Gourmet Chocolate

Red roses and gourmet chocolate — name a more iconic duo. On Valentine’s Day, this classic pairing reigns supreme for a reason (or three). Red roses bring the romance big-time with their vibrant beauty, enchanting fragrance, and timeless “I love you” energy. Add to that chocolate’s sweet, melt-in-your-mouth magic, and you’ve got a combination that’s as irresistible as it is thoughtful. It’s the kind of gift that makes hearts happy and taste buds cheer, and we’re so here for this!

Pink Roses and Prosecco

Red roses are all about romance, but pink roses whisper something just as beautiful: admiration, appreciation, and heartfelt thanks. Honestly, who pops into your head when you think about all that goodness? Moms, without a doubt — because they’re the MVPs of our lives. Pink also has this way of feeling cozy and comforting, like wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket. And when you add a bottle of Prosecco (or sparkling rosé if that’s her fave), it’s a match made in heaven — just like you and Mom’s next-level bond. Cheers to softness with just the right amount of edge!

Bird of Paradise and an IPA

It’s time to give Dad his flowers (literally) and birds of paradise are the ultimate pick for this occasion. These tropical show-offs are bold, beautiful, and just a little bit extra, resembling a beautiful bird taking flight. They stand for freedom and joy, just like Dad’s seize the day pep talks. Want to elevate the moment? Pair these blooms with a cold IPA for a chill, down-to-earth combo. Or, if he’s more of a wine aficionado, a rich Cab Sauv will do the trick. Together, this setup is giving major celebration energy — chef’s kiss!

Orchids and a Savory Gift Basket

Grandparents are iconic — wise beyond words, strong like oak trees, and endlessly loving. That’s why purple orchids (because the royalty runs deep) are the blooms to gift them. Orchids stand for admiration, respect, and longevity — basically the love story our grandparents live every day. Pair those stunning petals with a next-level snack basket — hello, nuts, cheeses, and crackers —and you’re handing over a gift that’s pure perfection. It’s equal parts classy and comfy, and it’s the sweetest way to show them that they’re the heart and soul of the family.

Yellow Lilies and Balloons

Yellow lilies are like a burst of sunshine in flower form, perfect for saying thank you to someone who’s always got your back (and everyone else’s, frankly). They’re the ultimate pick for those amazing folks on Admin Prof Day or the friend who just gets it (every time, literally). Mix in gladiolus for a nod to their strength and integrity, and you have a bouquet that’s as meaningful as it is stunning. Add some balloons for that party mood, and suddenly your gesture says, “You rock! Thanks for being you!”

Central Square Florist knows the power of going big and how it can make a real impact. A stunning bouquet paired with another thoughtful touch shows your appreciation in a way words can’t always capture.
