Chinese Valentine’s Day 2025: Romantic Flower Gift Ideas for Your Partner

Chinese Valentine’s Day, also known as the Qixi Festival, is a celebration of love that traces back over 2,000 years in Chinese culture. The festival is often compared to Western Valentine’s Day, but it carries its own unique traditions and symbolism. According to legend, the holiday commemorates the romantic tale of the cowherd and the weaver girl, who are only allowed to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. You can read more about the Qixi Festival on Wikipedia.

In 2025, Chinese Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on August 4th. If you want to impress your partner this year, the perfect way is through thoughtfully chosen flowers that symbolize love, devotion, and romance.

🌹 1. Classic Red Roses – The Timeless Expression of Love

Nothing says romance more clearly than a bouquet of red roses. In both Chinese and Western cultures, roses are the ultimate symbol of passion and eternal love. A dozen or two can instantly light up your partner’s day.

Pro Tip: At Lumos Flowers (North York & Markham), we offer premium long-stemmed roses, carefully handpicked for freshness and elegance.

💐 2. Lilies – Wishing for a Long and Happy Life Together

In Chinese culture, lilies (百合花) symbolize a harmonious and lasting union. Gifting lilies on Chinese Valentine’s Day conveys the wish for a happy life together—making them an excellent choice for couples celebrating long-term commitment.

Perfect Pairing: Mix lilies with soft pink roses for a romantic yet graceful bouquet.

🌸 3. Orchids – Elegance and Beauty

Orchids are associated with luxury, beauty, and refinement. They are often chosen by those who want to express admiration and respect for their partner. Orchids also hold cultural importance in Chinese tradition, representing noble character and enduring love.

🌻 4. Sunflowers – Bright and Joyful Love

For couples who share a playful and uplifting relationship, sunflowers are an ideal choice. Their bright yellow petals symbolize positivity, energy, and loyalty—perfect for expressing joy in your relationship.

🌺 5. Carnations – Gentle Love and Affection

Carnations, especially in pink and red, symbolize admiration, gratitude, and deep affection. They are perfect for couples who prefer a tender and caring gesture over bold passion.

🏵️ 6. Mixed Flower Bouquets – A Modern Romantic Gesture
