Flowers for Any Occasion

The tradition of giving flowers has been around for ages. Symbolic use of flowers can be seen in Roman mythology, ancient Chinese writings and even Egyptian heiroglyphs. The tradition exploded in the middle ages as part of the courtship process and continues today. Today, we send flowers for all occasions and have many options from where to get them. A few of the best places are 1800Flowers and Internet Florist.

What should you send? Here’s a quick quide:

Valentines Day – Roses, Roses, Roses! Nothing else needs to be said except mabye Red.

Birthday – Anything Bright and cheerful. The favorite flower of the birthay girl/boy is always a good choice.

Anniversary – Most anything goes here. Try and match the “personality” of the couple to the flowers. A surprise would be perfect.

Wedding - Seasonal flowers usually work best. Pastel, delicate flowers usually work best early in the year while darker, more vibrant colors work best in the fall.

Christmas - Poinsettia! For flowers, stick with white and red (or pink) and make sure there is plenty of green in the arangement. Including holly (with red berries) is looks great.

Easter - Lilies, white carnations and roses are great.

Thanksgiving - Lots of orange and brown. Include roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, daises, marigolds, wheat and dried grasses. Also include some fall vegetables; pumpkins, squash…

Halloween - Oranges and browns again. Maybe send a jack-o-lantern as a vase???

Mother’s Day – Anything with a lot of fragrance. Lilies, carnations, and scented narissi.

Father’s Day - Something sturdy. Blooming roses or long lasting tropical flowers. It doesn’t need to be a flower, any plant will do.

Newborn – Brightly colored flowers. Something to brighten up the room that is full of excitement.

Sympath/Funeral – Make sure it is white! Gladiolas, carnatios and daises.

Get Well – Bright flowers. Bright red or yellow with a creative vase is great.

Graduation - Get lots of color. Lilies are an excellent choice, pink, orange and violet would be great.

Housewarming - Something simple. A variety of garden flowers in a simple vase would be great.

If flowers don’t fit the personality of the recipient, you can always send some goodies from David’s Cookies. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you send, you main goal is to let the other person know that you are thinking about them.
