Florist Modestas Vasiliauskas recently opened a flower space at the Vilijampolė market in Kaunas, just in time for Valentine's Day, stating that the holiday brings with it a variety of stories that cannot be anticipated. He notes how people, particularly men who may normally be reserved, become more expressive and creative when it comes to gifting flowers on this occasion. It is a time when ordinary gifts transform into thoughtful and intricate displays of affection.

Vasiliauskas highlights that even though the types of gifts vary each year, classic options like roses remain incredibly popular. He has crafted bouquets using hundreds of roses, with one memorable request coming from a man who wanted a bouquet so large that it would require assistance to carry. This gesture, according to Vasiliauskas, symbolizes how sometimes in life, support is needed, encapsulating deeper emotions behind the act of giving flowers.

In a creative twist, Vasiliauskas recalls a past Valentine's Day where he made a dress out of flowers for a man's romantic dinner date, enabling his partner to feel like she was in a fairy tale. This unique creation, composed of live flowers, further illustrates the lengths to which men will go to express their love and the continuing trend toward personalization in romantic gifting.
