Valentine’s Flower Bouquet Coloring Page

Valentine’s bouquets bring together romantic roses, cheerful tulips, delicate baby’s breath, and heart-shaped accents that capture the spirit of February 14th. These floral arrangements offer a wonderful mix of flowing ribbon, layered petals, and decorative wrapping that gives you plenty to work with. The combination of organic flower shapes and geometric hearts creates interesting contrast on the page.

What colors work best?

Traditional Valentine’s colors like deep reds, soft pinks, and crisp whites are the obvious starting point, but don’t stop there. Try pairing burgundy roses with peach-colored tulips, or lavender blooms with coral accents. The greenery in the bouquet can be more than just standard green—consider adding blue-green tones to eucalyptus or sage-colored leaves. For the wrapping paper or ribbon, metallic gold or silver adds elegance, while a soft cream background keeps everything from feeling too saturated.

Did you know?

Red roses became the classic Valentine’s flower thanks to Victorian “flower language,” where different blooms carried specific meanings—red roses symbolized deep love while yellow roses meant friendship. The tradition of giving flowers on Valentine’s Day actually dates back to the 17th century, making it one of the oldest gift-giving customs still widely practiced. Baby’s breath, that delicate filler you see in most bouquets, wasn’t commonly used in arrangements until the 1980s, but now it appears in nearly every florist’s design.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work beautifully for Valentine’s bouquets because you can layer reds and pinks to create realistic petal depth. Start with a light base color on each flower, then add darker shades along the petal edges and where petals overlap. For roses especially, think about where the petals curl—those areas need deeper shadows. The ribbon offers a chance to practice highlights by leaving white spaces where light would naturally hit the curves. If you’re using markers, color the flowers first and save delicate details like baby’s breath for last to avoid bleeding.

Who’ll love this?
