If you don't know which flower goes best with an occasion, here is a handy guide to help you out:
DATES
If it is your first date, it is best to go with flowers that are not overwhelming. Tulips, orchids, and dandelions can be a perfect choice to flatter your date. But, if you have been dating for a long time, the perfect flower is the traditional red rose.
VALENTINE'S DAY
When it comes to Valentine's Day, shades of red for love, yellow for general affection and joy, and pink for elegance are perfect for a bouquet on this occasion. Avoid getting a bouquet of yellow roses, as they signify friendship, not love. However, yellow roses with red can symbolize both love and joy. If your relationship is new, purple roses are the best flowers, as they symbolize the enchantment of the budding couple. If you have been together for a long time and your partner isn't thrilled with roses, you can get pink tulip flowers as a gift delivered to her.
ANNIVERSARY
When it comes to an anniversary, it is best to go with seasonal flowers, as they represent the time of the year you are celebrating. For spring, opt for pale, delicate flowers like peony or peach blossom. Flowers for the summers should be vibrant and bright, like yellow or pink roses. But, be aware that yellow carnations represent disappointment. Another important thing to keep in mind is to opt for a flower gift delivery that represents your relationship. If your partner loves a particular flower, it is best to go for a bouquet of the same. There are also certain flowers that represent certain anniversaries, like daisies for five years, daffodils for 10, roses for 15 years, and asters for 20.
GET WELL SOON
When it comes to choosing the best flowers to send to someone who is unwell, the first question you should ask is where the person is resting. If the concerned person is in the hospital, the flowers should not be overly fragrant. Tulips could be perfect, as they can add a touch colour and vibrancy to a dreary hospital room. If the person is at home, marigolds might be the best flowers to send.
BIRTHDAYS
Once again, the best flower to go with is the recipient's favourite flower. However, there are flowers that correspond to each month; these are, carnations and snowdrops for January; primrose for February; daffodils for March; sweet pea for April; hawthorns and Lily of the Valley for May; rose and honeysuckle for June; water lily and delphinium for July; poppy and gladiolus for August; morning glory and aster for September; calendula and marigold for October; chrysanthemum and peony for November; and holly and narcissus for December.
MOTHER'S DAY
For Mother's Day, red and pink flowers are the best to show love and admiration. Other flowers that you can opt for are carnations, roses (especially the pink ones), and gerbera daisies. These flowers can be combined with yellow tulips and lilies that represent joy and affection, making a very vibrant bouquet for your mother.
THANK YOU
If you need a sophisticated way to say thank you to friend or colleague, then flowers are the best bet. In cases where flowers are meant to say thank you, it is best to go for the receiver's favourite flower, but if you are not sure, go with pale coloured flowers. White, pink, and yellow coloured flowers show appreciation.
While you are considering the best flowers to gift, do consider one other thing, i.e., the individual's lifestyle. Most people don't have time to take care of bouquets. To overcome this situation, you can gift them artificial flowers. Once considered tacky, artificial flower bouquets have come a long way and today are artistically done and have become more realistic. Remember, whatever the occasion is, flowers can add a nice touch to it.
