We know that not everyone is a fan of this mushy gushy romantic holiday. Many single people detest it because they see it as a holiday for everyone but them.

Wax flowers are commonly used as floral fillers due to their petite size, but they can be visually impactful all on their own as well. Ranging in color from white, ivory, orange, yellow, light and dark pinks, purples, and reds, and even bicolor, these tiny blooms pack a punch and look great in almost anything!
