FLOWERS TIPS & ADVICE

Birthdays, wedding, and the birth of a new baby are all great reasons to send flowers, but what about events that should happen a little more often, like good grades on a child's report card, or a day when you show your loved ones they're special-just because? Here are some suggestions for which flowers to send to respective people in your life, based on their tastes and preferences; while receiving flowers is always nice, giving flowers based on your loved one's personality makes the gift even more special.

Taking your loved one's favorite colors into consideration is a great way to choose which flowers to purchase. Bright, bold colors can usually be found on flowers like tulips and some roses, while more subtle pastels are most common on lavender flowers and blue bonnets. Thinking about certain implications certain flowers hold will also help you to narrow down your search-- for instance, roses symbolize romance, elegance, and beauty; daffodils and daisy indicate a bright and bubbly personality, or someone that stands out from the crowd. These flowers are also great for children, to help them celebrate a victory at a sports event, academic achievement, or as a compliment to a birthday or Valentine's Day gift.

If you can't quite decide which flower describes your loved one best, a bouquet of combined flowers is beautiful, too. Finding exotic flowers that people don't usually give is another unique way to show your friend or family member you think they're special and original. African violets, chrysanthemum, and orchids all look great together, and is a nice change from the standard 'dozen roses'.

The presentation of the flowers is just as important as the flowers themselves; the way you choose to package your floral gift should show the amount of effort (and love) that's going into the gift. For instance, if you're sending roses, a classic clear-glass vase is always nice; but why not add a velvet bow, or even a tinted vase to make the bouquet stand out? You can even coordinate the colors of the flowers with the decoration-for daisies, lacing the vase with yellow or white ribbon works well; for multi-colored floral arrangements, picking one or two colors to decorate with makes the arrangement wonderfully noticeable, but not too flashy.

You can find flowers just about anywhere in your neighborhood, like the local drug or grocery store, but this is usually best if you only want a single flower or a small bunch or about two or three. For larger flower arrangements, like most products these days, you can order floral arrangements on the internet, and Send-Fresh-Cut-Flowers.com offers a wide selection of arrangements for any occasion. This works great if you are far away and can't deliver the flowers yourself, or if you want your loved one to feel extra special by having flowers delivered to them at work or school.
