Flowers add happiness and conveying feelings of warmth and caring. The following tips and suggestions will help you select the right flowers quickly and easily.
Choice of hand-tied bouquets or arrangements
A hand-tied bouquet is designed to be easily inserted in a vase after purchase. They are often designed using a variety of flowers whose stems are tied together and trimmed so that they are on a flat plane.
Arrangements can either take the form of vase arrangements or foam arrangements. Vase arrangements are flowers loosely arranged in a container, in a triangular or round style. Foam arrangements may be arranged in a basket.
Decide on the colour
Colour is a key element of floral design. Colour gives personality to the design and can create drama, softness, or cheerfulness. You need to consider what colour the person you are sending the flowers to would like, you need to consider the occasion and the sentiment you wish to express.
Use the right flowers to express your feelings
You can use flowers to express your feelings and sentiments as each variety of flower has a different meaning. For example :
chrysanthemum symbolises love and truth
roses symbolize fidelity, unconscious beauty and love
sunflowers denote devotion
tulips are saying " I am hopelessly in love"
Preferences and lifestyle
Consider the personality and lifestyle of the recipient. For example, for romantics consider giving roses, and chrysanthemum for pragmatists. For people who like to spend time outdoors you may consider plants or artificial plant decorations.
The life of the flower
Some flowers such as chrysanthemums, lilies, and gladiolus have a longer life than others. You need to consider this particularly during the summer.
Purchasing on time
Always plan ahead for big occasions such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, important name days etc.. That way you will always have the best and biggest selection of plants, flowers and gifts delivered at the time you want.
