10 Steps on Choosing a Flower Arrangement

What do we need to know about flowers and etiquette when giving them?

Flowers speak eloquently of our true attitude toward the one to whom we give them. It is immediately clear whether we have chosen a bouquet of love or just bought the first one we came across. With the language of flowers you can profess love and respect or show your indifference.

A very important part of choosing flowers is the reason for which we choose them. For example, if we go on a date, buying a bouquet of roses remains a classic in the genre, especially if they are red. If we have to choose flowers for a birthday, we must keep in mind that we are going to have fun and if possible the bouquet should be with bright colors and curly ribbons. But the most important thing when we give flowers is that they are from the heart, because then they will certainly be appreciated.

In many countries, it is customary to give a bouquet of three flowers on birthdays. However, it is acceptable to present a flower or stalk as well. It is true that in this case we must make sure the arrangement and the design are beautiful. And don't forget to connect the color and type of plants with the people to whom you will present them. However, in case you prefer to amaze the recipient on their birthday party with a magnificent gift, you can choose some of the mesmerizing birthday flower arrangements on TodayFlowerDelivery. 

Pink flowers are best suited for a gift for mom - they symbolize tenderness and trust.

The flower bouquet can be of roses, lilies or tulips, as well as mixed bouquets with different greenery. In addition, you can choose daisies - a symbol of the family. An excellent bouquet, for example, will be a lotus - a sign of wisdom, which is also a wish for health, longevity and happiness.

If you intend to add gypsophila, asparagus, fern, etc. to the bouquet, then it is worth reminding you that the total number of plants (which according to tradition should be odd) are considered all cuttings. Exceptions are - 3 flowers on one large leaf of an exotic plant.

The size of the bouquet depends on your personal financial capabilities and preferences. For the packaging of the bouquet it is better to choose light pastel colors.

Who says men are not given flowers? They are giving away! And they accept them with pleasure. You can give your father or husband an orange, red or brown gladiolus, so you will show that his "strong shoulder", his reliability and support are extremely dear to you. And with the help of these flowers you wish good luck to your father or husband.

A good gift for the father will be a bouquet of asters in burgundy or purple - they symbolize your love and respect for his opinion. Chrysanthemums are also a good and appropriate choice - these flowers symbolize and "promise" love despite the difficulties and differences. The number of flowers in the bouquet is recommended to be from 3 to 7 pieces.

For a friend, choose a bouquet of white flowers.

White symbolizes sincere friendship. In general, such white flowers are usually presented to many young girls or brides at a wedding, but in this case a bouquet of white flowers is suitable, regardless of the age and marital status of the lady.

Be careful with the number of plants in the bouquet. Avoid huge bouquets, because if her financial situation is worse than yours, you will put her in an awkward position, and she may think that you are bragging about your abilities.

It is better for a guy friend to buy (or grow) a potted plant.

If you spend a lot of time in front of your computer, a suitable gift is a cactus. This "hedgehog" not only extinguishes harmful radiation, but also attracts negative energy from humans. Cactus with a symbol of devotion and a rich inner world. If your person does not have a computer to which you can place the cactus, then it is better to give up this gift, because if the cactus is not "busy", it can easily provoke quarrels between sender and recipient. Another suggestion. You can give your loved one the tree of money (Krasulu) - so you will wish him material well-being.

What do we need to know and what to choose?

A bouquet of irises can be a perfect gift for a lady or gentleman from your team. On the one hand, this bouquet will show that you rely on the friendship and goodwill of this person, and on the other hand, it demonstrates that you adore their wisdom.

If the colleague is your boss and you want to make a good impression on your boss, choose a bouquet of sunflowers. It is a symbol of the sun, life and material well-being. The recommended number of stems in the bouquet is 7 or 9.

Also, if the bouquet is for a young girl or boy, it would be good to give her incompletely blooming flowers with budding flowers that will symbolize herself, while if they are for a more mature woman, it is preferable for the flowers to be almost completely open. In addition, if you do not know the woman's preferences well enough and do not know her favorite flower, you should look at the style and dress, colors of clothes and accessories she wears every day.

What flowers to choose for an anniversary?

The same rules apply when choosing a bouquet for an anniversary, as well as when buying birthday bouquets. The only difference is in the number of plants and in the type of packaging. On a round anniversary you can give a man (including your favorite) a bouquet of 11 - 15 flowers and add a ladybug, butterfly or other stylish accessory as decoration. The bouquet for the anniversary of the ladies is better to be arranged in a decorative basket - because once again you wish the best, health and longevity.

Bridal bouquets are traditionally completely white, but this should not stop you from including shades that reflect your individual style.

If you keep an all-white bouquet, make sure it is in a similar shade to your wedding dress. But you run the risk of an all-white bouquet merging with your dress, so combine the soft shades of cream with delicate greenery.

If you like pastel or bright shades and want to be present in your bridal bouquet, keep in mind that it is good to combine them with the color of other flowers and the colors of the wedding as a whole.

Let your bouquet be in line with the overall wedding style. The bouquet will complement not only your dress, but also the style of your ceremony. Traditional weddings often require complex compositions: structured shapes, classic flowers (like lily of the valley) and not too colorful palettes.

Compliment the recipient

When choosing a bouquet, focus on your personal perception of who it is intended for. If you think your lady looks like a lily or an orchid, then buy from these beauties and explain why your choice is so. That would be a great compliment.

Do not forget about the personal preferences of the recipient of the bouquet and the state of his health, ie. the presence of allergies to certain floral odors.

In general, flowers and bouquets should be given not only on holidays. These gentle beings are a great way to say thank you, show your sincere feelings, or just cheer up those who are really dear to you.
