How to choose the right flowers?

What is the significance of sending flowers? How should flowers be sent on various occasions?

In romantic relationships, men and women often send roses and lilies. These flowers are visually pleasing, beautiful, elegant, and fragrant, representing love. Roses and lilies remain the primary flowers chosen for bouquets between couples.

When congratulating relatives and friends on their weddings, roses, lilies, tulips, and gerberas are suitable choices. Lilies, in particular, symbolize a happy marriage and are among the most popular flowers for wedding congratulations. For a bride’s bouquet, adding a few sprigs of baby's breath can enhance its beauty, making the arrangement look more gorgeous and refined.

For grand opening or company inaugurations, sending roses, crape myrtles, and similar flowers is ideal. These flowers have a long blooming period and lush appearance, symbolizing "prosperity and success." If attending an opening ceremony, a grand and solemn flower basket is the most appropriate choice.

There are specific considerations when sending flowers to patients. Avoid sending a full pot of flowers, as this may be misconstrued as a sign of a chronic illness. Flowers with strong fragrances should be avoided, as they can be problematic for surgical patients and may cause coughing. Additionally, flowers with overly bright colors can be stimulating and cause discomfort. Camellias, which are prone to dropping buds, are considered unlucky and should not be sent. Instead, opt for orchids, daffodils, or calla lilies, or choose flowers that the patient particularly likes, to help them relax and aid in their recovery.

Understanding these guidelines can help ensure that flowers are appropriately given in various situations, avoiding common mistakes.
