Sending flowers can be an excellent way to show someone you care, mark an important event, or brighten any room – and can often make people happier than just sending their favourite flower arrangement alone! However, with so many choices out there, it may feel daunting when selecting just the right bloom for each situation – before ordering flower bouquets again, you must keep these five considerations in mind to always select just what is needed each time!
Know The Occasion And Purpose
Step one of selecting an appropriate flower gift is understanding its purpose. Flowers can express different sentiments depending on whether it be for an anniversary, birthday, wedding or simply showing support.
- Flowers that bring joy, like sunflowers, daisies, and tulips, can add the perfect festive atmosphere.
- Sunflowers, daisies and tulips make great choices to bring an air of happiness and cleanliness.
- While red roses may be the classic sign of love, other flowers, such as lilies, orchids and peonies, can convey an elegant message of deep respect and reverence.
For those wishing to express their sympathy, colours that are soft and soothing, such as white, cream, or pastel, are usually acceptable. When sending flowers as a token of sorrow lilies, chrysanthemums and carnations are popular options.
Think About What The Recipient Wants
When purchasing a bouquet, the recipient must understand exactly what flowers they prefer, as not all flowers are created equal. Consider their favourite hues and any allergies they might have, as not all flowers can bring joy – some prefer bright and unusual flowers, while others might prefer more subdued classic bouquets.
If you need help selecting an appropriate present, seek advice from a florist based on the personality or tastes. When buying for someone special, inquire as to their favourite flowers (tulips or daisies for instance) so you can select something meaningful; perhaps an arrangement featuring these blossoms as main elements.
Select The Appropriate Style And Size
There is a wide range of bouquet types, and choosing one depends on several factors, such as the event and venue where it will be displayed. A large, flashy arrangement may work best at weddings and big events, while something smaller might make more of an impression for thank-you gifts or casual presents.
Keep in mind how the flowers will be presented when selecting them as gifts, too. Some recipients might prefer an elegant hand-tied bouquet, while others might appreciate something more structured, such as baskets or vases arranged with blooms to their specifications if you are uncertain which style or theme would appeal to the receiver best. Ask the florist for ideas based on the event/setting if unsure.
Think About How Long Flowers Last
Each flower lasts differently; select flowers with long-lasting blooms if you want your bouquet to last a longer period – roses and orchids, for instance, have long-lived beauty, while other species like lilies and tulips may only show themselves for days at a time but still boast gorgeous scents and looks!
Consult a florist on how to take care of flowers so they will last as long as possible. Keep the bunch in a cool, shaded area, change out their water frequently and trim back their roots so they have time to flourish and bloom fully.
Explore Your Delivery Options And When They Will Arrive
Time is an integral component of flower ordering; make sure that when placing an order for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, flowers are expected and any special instructions regarding delivery. It is always advisable to place early orders as florists often offer same-day deliveries!
Ensure that someone will be present when sending flowers to someone’s home or office, or ask the florist if they can deliver to hospitals, event venues, or hotels.
Certain florists provide additional touches such as balloons, chocolates or greeting cards to add joy and make the bouquet even more special. Why not add one of these lovely extras to make it truly unforgettable?
Conclusion
Before purchasing your next bouquet, carefully consider its event, the recipient’s tastes and length of flower life, and delivery options before selecting an arrangement to send. Florals provide an elegant means of communicating an important and beautiful message – whether that means saying congratulations on something or offering condolences for something gone amiss.
