2. FREDERIQUE’S CHOICE

We love Frederique’s Choice. They’ve managed to make extraordinary flowers so easy to give and receive. Their Valentine’s bouquets are definitely above the typical fray.

Their “Be Mine” Bouquet dresses up perfect red roses with sweet pink lisianthus, soft pink snapdragons, red hypericum berries, and fragrant lilies.
