The ideal birthday bouquet can be a challenge to choose. With so many beautiful flowers available, how do you pick the right one for your loved one? Here are our top tips on how to choose the perfect birthday flowers to say Happy Birthday.
This is perhaps the most important tip of all. If you know what kind of flowers the birthday girl or boy likes, you're halfway there choosing a winner. For example, if they love roses, then a bouquet of red roses would be perfect. If they love lilies, then a mixed bouquet of lilies and other flowers would be ideal.
Of course, you don't have to make the entire bouquet or arrangement of their favourite flower. You can have a few stems or even a single bloom. For example, It is always good to mix in some seasonal flowers or a mix of their favourite colours.
Lillies are beautiful on their own but complemented with other flowers such as roses; they create a birthday bouquet overflowing with love. Another way to create an arrangement around lilies is by adding some green leaves or stems. This will give the birthday bouquet a natural look.
Sunflowers are just bursting with happiness and colour on their own, so to compliment an arrangement of sunflowers, consider using other flowers such as daisies or adding some simple greenery.
Gerberas come in so many colours; they are hard not to love. So if you want to couple gerberas in an arrangement with another flower, try to use a flower that is a contrasting colour—for example, white gerberas with red roses or orange gerberas with blue delphiniums.
Roses are always beautiful to gift on their own - particularly a delicate box of long-stemmed red roses for your romantic partner. However, if you want to give someone who loves roses differently, you could consider mixing up different colours, blending with a different combination or in an arrangement.
Some other ideas for creating a perfect birthday bouquet around roses are adding other complimenting flowers, such as lilies, around the roses. Another way to add flair to the bouquet is using different coloured roses. This will give the bouquet a range of emotions and feelings.
If you're unsure what the person's favourite flower is, you can always ask them or ask someone close to them that might know. That way, you can be sure to get them a floral gift they'll love!
Different flowers have different symbolic meanings. For example, roses typically symbolise love, while lilies symbolise purity. When choosing birthday flowers, you may want to consider the meaning of other blooms to find a thoughtful gift.
While the birthday person may not be particularly interested in the symbolic meaning of their birthday flowers, it can still be a nice touch. For example, if they are going through a tough time, you could send them birthday flowers with a meaning of strength and courage, such as sunflowers. Or, if they have accomplished a significant milestone, you could send birthday flowers with a sense of congratulations, such as roses or mums.
Flowers that are bright and colourful may be a better choice for someone lively and extroverted, while a more subdued arrangement may be better for someone more introverted. If you know the birthday person well, this shouldn’t be too difficult. But if you’re unsure, you can always ask someone close to them for help or get a feel for their style by looking at their pictures on social media.
Birthday flowers are a thoughtful and personal gift that is sure to please anyone. By following these tips, you can be sure to find the perfect birthday flowers for your loved one.
If the birthday is for a special occasion, like a milestone birthday, choose flowers that reflect that.
For example, if the recipient is turning 50, go for an arrangement with lots of red roses representing passion and energy. Or, if they are turning 21, go for a fun and vibrant birthday bouquet with lots of different coloured flowers and even throw in some numbered balloons to highlight the milestone.
Milestone birthdays are a great time to go out with a birthday bouquet. So have fun choosing a festive arrangement that reflects the birthday person’s personality.
What better way to select flowers than gifting someone their favourite-coloured blooms? You can’t go wrong with birthday flowers matching the recipient’s favourite colours, showing that you care about them.
If you know that your friend or loved one loves soft pastel pinks, go for a birthday bouquet with blooms in that colour palette. Or, if they are obsessed with all things green, get them an arrangement with lots of green foliage.
Favourite colours can be a great way to personalise the birthday bouquet and make it extra special. So if you know the birthday person’s favourite colours, incorporate them into the arrangement.
And if you want to make their birthday special, you could even compliment the colour theme with a birthday cake with matching flowers on top.
