Guide To Send Flowers For The Occasion

An unexpected bouquet can bring a smile to anyone’s face. Sending flowers says a lot, even if the card message is short. However, some blooms suit certain moments better than others. So, here is our quick guide to flowers for every occasion.

Choosing flowers for every occasion

Start with the person and the moment. Think about their favourite colours and the message you want to send. Then use the ideas below as a guide. Of course, our florists are always happy to help.

1. Birthdays

For birthdays, choose flowers the person loves. Chrysanthemums are a great addition, because they are said to symbolise a long life. Sunflowers are also popular, since they feel bright and joyful.

2. Housewarmings

Moving into a new home is a big milestone. Therefore, it deserves a celebration. Seasonal flowers in fresh colours are perfect. Alternatively, a potted plant makes a gift that lasts.

3. Anniversaries

Roses are the classic anniversary flower. However, tulips also make a lovely addition, because they are seen as a declaration of love. Together, they look stunning.

4. Sympathy and remembrance

Flowers offer comfort during a difficult time. For example, white lilies, gladioli and hydrangeas are often chosen to show remembrance. Our funeral flowers page has more ideas.

5. Get well and cheer up

Life can be stressful sometimes. In that case, a bunch of fresh flowers is a real mood lifter. Roses and lilies brighten any room. In addition, ordering takes only a few minutes, yet the surprise means a lot.

A note on roses

Roses are loved around the world. Red roses stand for romance, while other colours carry different meanings. As a result, roses suit almost any occasion if you choose the right shade.
