Heartwarming Message to Go with I Miss You Bouquets

Missing someone special? Let that person know that she’s in your thoughts through a flower gift.

Expressive Floral Choices for Missing Someone

Bouquets of stargazer lilies or pink and red carnations would make an expressive gift to say “I miss you” or “I can’t stop thinking of you” to your girlfriend or spouse who’s currently miles away from you.  Missing You Bouquets with pastel-coloured sweetheart roses are perfect for getting in touch with family and friends back home now that you live far away from them.  You can also send white orchids in a pot to remind loved ones far away that you’re always there for them.

Additional Flowers That Convey Longing

Other beautiful florals that mean “I miss you” include:

• Yellow zinnia (symbolises daily remembrance)
• Striped carnations (perfect for saying “I long to see you” or “’I’m sorry I can’t be with you”)
• Forget-me-nots
• White heather
• Clover (says “think of me”)

Crafting a Personal Message for Your Bouquet

To make your I Miss You flower arrangement extra thoughtful and uplifting, don’t forget to pair your floral gift with a personal message.

What should you write on the I Miss You card? All you need to do is think about the things that remind you of that special person – the good times and fun times you’ve shared, the spark, the things that brought you together, her smile or laughter, their favourite perfume, their personality, or a favourite memory you have with that person. You can even include that one thing about him/her that annoys you yet still charms you.

Finding the Right Words: Message Suggestions

If you still can’t find the right words to express the longing you feel, here are some card message suggestions to help you.

• How lucky I am to be a part of your life! How miserable life would be to apart from you. I miss you and I can’t wait to be with you again soon.
