What’s a good occasion to send a red flower bouquet?

Red flower arrangements make excellent choices for a variety of occasions. Valentine’s Day is certainly one of the most popular, but you’re by no means restricted to that day for sending a gorgeous red bouquet! Here are a few of our favorite occasions for gifting someone special a beautiful bouquet of red flowers:

• Romantic occasions, like date nights and anniversaries
