When picking flowers for a special occasion, most of us go with the colors we like or think would suit the occasion. We don't usually give a second thought to whether the flowers are meant for a special occasion or not. If you are nodding your head in agreement, read on to know what type of flowers to gift for every occasion.
Ø Wedding Flowers
Flowers are one
of the essentials when you plan to attend a wedding. They are often expected.
Some of the flowers you can buy for a couple are red roses that symbolize
passionate love or peonies that symbolize good fortune, happy marriage, and
prosperity. You can also go with Amaryllis, which symbolizes love and
determination, Calla lilies, which symbolize regality and elegance, Gardenias which
symbolize joy and Hydrangeas, which symbolize perseverance and heartfelt
emotion.
Ø Valentine's Day Flowers
Valentine's Day
is just a few days away. So, you should start thinking of what flowers to gift
to your spouse, love interest, or friend. Usually, red roses symbolize passion,
yellow roses symbolize friendship, white roses symbolize chaste love, coral
roses symbolize desire, primroses symbolize new love or new beginnings, and
pink roses symbolize admiration. Read more about rose colors and meanings over here.
Ø Flowers in the Corporate World
In the corporate
world, flowers are often expected too. Here we tell you which flowers are best
for which person and occasion.
Ø Flowers for Team Members
When
appreciating a team member, a CEO or boss should send fresh flowers along with
fresh fruit or a dry fruit basket. In most cases, a bouquet made of yellow
roses, peonies, tulips, and daisies is an innovative idea. You can also be
smart and send flowers with minimal scent. It is also good to pick potted
plants such as succulents or Lucky Bamboo.
Ø Flowers for Boss
If you want to
send a birthday or anniversary flower bouquet to your boss as a team or an
individual, you should again go for a mixed flowers bouquet. Avoid red roses as
they might be misconstrued. Also, don't give flowers publicly if you are
gifting them as an individual, as it might come off as a desperate attempt to
gain attention or favor from superiors.
Ø Flowers for Clients or Business Partners
The relationship
with the clients/ business partners is one of the most precious ones for a
business. If you want to send flowers to clients/business partners to
congratulate them on personal achievement, expand their business, or accept
your proposal, you should pick simple flowers. You can go with orchids or
daisies and pair them with a traditional sweet or dry fruit box.
If you want to
send something personalized, you can send flowers along with a voucher for
their favorite shopping website or a preferred restaurant. You can also replace
the flowers with potted plants as they are quite easy to maintain and can fit
into any space. Indoor
plants can be a good bet.
