August is all about sunshine and summer blooms, and it’s also Romance Awareness Month, a perfect excuse to pause, reconnect, and celebrate the love that often gets lost in the busyness of everyday life. Whether you’ve been together for years or you're still in the honeymoon stage, August is the time to sprinkle a little extra romance into your relationship.

Sure, grand gestures can be amazing. But real connection often lives in the quiet, thoughtful moments, like a handwritten note or a bouquet delivered just because. That’s why we’ve gathered seven simple but meaningful ways to celebrate love this month. Each one is designed to help you laugh more, talk deeper, and feel closer than ever.

1. Send a Surprise Flower Delivery

Getting flowers for no reason at all is wonderful. No birthday, no big event; just a sweet surprise. Sending flowers out of the blue can turn a regular day into one they’ll never forget. Whether it’s a bunch of their favorite roses or a bright mix of sunflowers and daisies, it’s a simple way to show you care and were thinking of them.

Even better? Add a short message like, “Thinking of you,” or “This made me smile and I hope it does the same for you.” It’s a small act that goes a long way.

2. Create a Weekly Romance Ritual

Romance doesn’t have to be spontaneous to be special. Sometimes, planning it makes it even more meaningful. What matters is the intention. When you both know time is set aside for connection, it helps love feel steady and strong. Want to level it up? Place a fresh bouquet on the table or surprise them with flowers after your ritual. It’s the little extras that make it memorable.

3. Recreate Your First Date or Favorite Memory

Think back to the early days. What moment still makes you smile? This month, try recreating it. Whether it was your first coffee shop meetup, a road trip, or a night of dancing, revisiting that time can bring back all the feelings that started it all.

Can’t go to the same place? Bring the memory to life at home. Cook the same meal, wear something similar, or play the song that was on the radio. Add flowers that match the mood, like soft roses for a candlelit dinner or bright wildflowers for a casual throwback. It’s more about feeling the moment than recreating it perfectly.

4. Have a Screen-Free Date Night

It’s so easy to get caught up in our screens and forget to really connect. This month, try taking one night to unplug with no phones, no TV, just the two of you, fully present. Set the mood with some candles, play your favorite songs, or even toss a few rose petals around for fun. You could play a board game, try cooking something new together, or relax outside under the stars with a blanket and your favorite drink. Without all the usual distractions, you might be surprised at how much closer you feel, laughing, talking, and just enjoying each other’s company.

5. Give the Gift of Words

Some of the most powerful gifts are the ones that come from the heart and nothing hits quite like a genuine note or letter. Write a few lines about what your partner means to you. It doesn’t have to be fancy or poetic. Just real. Leave it somewhere they’ll find it, like their bag, the bathroom mirror, or tucked into a small bouquet. It might be a message they hold onto for years.

6. Surprise Them with a “Just Because” Gift

Who says you need a reason to give a gift? Some of the most memorable surprises are the ones that come out of the blue. This Romance Awareness Month, think outside the (chocolate) box and surprise your partner with something that shows you really see them.

It could be a flower crown for their inner free spirit, a framed photo from your favorite trip, a custom playlist of songs that tell your love story, or a small bouquet waiting by their morning coffee. The best gifts aren’t always big. They’re personal, thoughtful, and full of heart. A little unexpected romance goes a long way.

7. Create a DIY Flower Experience Together

Why not turn flowers into a shared experience? Head to your local flower shop or farmer’s market and pick out blooms together. Think of it like a flower date. Then, head home and arrange them as a team. Whether you’re building a dreamy bouquet, crafting mini table arrangements, or even making flower crowns, it’s a playful way to connect.

Don’t worry about making it perfect. The joy comes from creating something beautiful together. Add a little music, some snacks, and laughter, and you’ve got a fun, hands-on memory that fills your space with love and fresh flowers.

Romance Awareness Month: Be Intentional

Romance Awareness Month is a gentle reminder that love doesn’t need to be loud or extravagant; just intentional. It’s about showing up in the little moments, creating space for connection, and letting someone know they matter deeply.

Flowers have a timeless way of saying what words sometimes can’t. They symbolize care, beauty, and the kind of love that grows with attention and tenderness. So, this August, celebrate love in all its forms and if you need a little floral inspiration, explore our romantic collection to help you say “I love you” without saying a word.
