How to Choose a Flower Bouquet to Perfectly Express Yourself

For centuries, flowers have been used to express emotions. Today, flower shops and florists are still helping people send special messages to special people through the language of flowers. According to Petal Republic, 77% of floral purchases are made for a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary. Let’s look at some steps you can take to ensure you pick the right flower bouquet for the occasion.

Choosing the Right Flowers

The first thing you should be aware of is that there are different flowers for different occasions. Although these aren’t hard fast rules, it’s still worth your time and effort to get at least somewhat acquainted with what messages different flowers send. A local florist or flower shop can help you learn more about the language of flowers. To choose the right flower you’ll need to consider the occasion and the recipient. You should also consider your feelings for the individual as well. Colors are also meaningful. For instance, different colored roses send entirely different messages. Don’t worry about spending hours researching before choosing your flower bouquet. A qualified florist or flower shop can do the heavy lifting and offer recommendations.

Building the Arrangement

Not only is the flower and the color important, but the arrangement itself is important as well. You’ll want to consider the individual when choosing the arrangement. What are some other flowers that they like? Do they like big showy gifts or something more understated? What types of foliage should be added? Again, even if you aren’t well versed in flower arranging yourself, you should talk with the florist at the flower shop. They will guide you in picking out the perfect arrangement.

Focusing on Presentation

The presentation of the finished bouquet also matters. If you are serious about making sure your exact feelings and sentiments are properly expressed, then you’ll want to give some thought to the presentation as well. The vase that the flowers are presented in should be appropriate to the occasion. You should also consider if the flowers should be delivered by you in person or will a delivery service be adequate. Every detail matters!
