Let's be real, flowers aren't going out of style.
From a first date, an anniversary, or just a regular Tuesday with your person, surprising someone with flowers always sets the tone for something thoughtful.
In a city as vibrant as Toronto, the options are endless but we’ve rounded up our favourite Toronto date ideas that start with flowers and turn into unforgettable moments.
1. Flower Pickup + Coffee Walk Through Trinity Bellwoods
Grab a hand-tied bouquet from a local Toronto florist (hi, we can help with that) and meet your date near Queen West. Start with a latte from White Squirrel or Sam James, then take a stroll through Trinity Bellwoods, bonus points for a bench picnic or people-watching in the dog bowl.
It’s low-key, charming, and very "main character energy."
2. Deliver Flowers, Then Meet for Wine in Yorkville
Want to make an impression? Have flowers delivered to your date earlier in the day with a sweet note saying, “Can’t wait to see you tonight.” Then meet in Yorkville for wine at Bar Reyna or Sassafraz.
It feels luxurious, but still approachable. And the flowers make it clear that you planned this.
3. DIY Bouquet Date + Art Gallery Hopping
Try a DIY flower bar or workshop together (we host floral workshops at May Flowers!) and then head to the AGO or MOCA. Creating something together is a great icebreaker and you both leave with a beautiful creation and some shared memories.
This one’s especially good for creative souls or first dates with a twist.
4. Surprise Blooms + Island Picnic
Hop on the ferry to Toronto Island with a pre-packed picnic and a bouquet wrapped in kraft paper. Find a quiet spot at Ward’s Island or Centre Island and spend the afternoon catching up under the trees.
Yes, it’s giving rom-com. No, we’re not sorry.
5. Flowers at the Door + Dinner at Your Favourite Spot
Classic doesn’t mean boring. If you’ve got dinner reservations at your favourite restaurant, say Miku, Bar Isabel, or Enoteca Social, start the night by dropping off flowers at their doorstep or table. The gesture speaks volumes and sets a romantic tone without saying a word.
Bonus: Want to Send Flowers Before the Date?
We offer same-day flower delivery in Toronto, so your bouquet can arrive fresh and perfectly timed, even if you planned it last-minute (no judgment).
From wrapped posies to elegant rose arrangements, we’ve got something for every kind of vibe.
