Flowers are a great way to celebrate the birthday of a friend, family member or loved one. Finding the right birthday flowers, however, can be a daunting task. Modern florists offer a wide range of flowers from around the globe. From roses and daisies to orchids and tropical flowers, the selection is so wide that it can be difficult to know which flowers to go with. If you are in the market for a floral arrangement, however, and you are having trouble making a decision, there are a few things you can consider that will make your task much easier.
The most important part of any floral decision is the person you are buying the flowers for. Although there are certain arrangement styles that are generally associated with birthdays, it is important to choose one that suits the person who will be receiving the arrangement. One easy way to make a decision is to find out what their favorite type of flower is. If they have a favorite flower, or even a favorite colour, you can base the arrangement around these facts. If you want their birthday flowers to be truly special, however, it is important not to give them a one-note arrangement. If daisies are their favorite flower, for example, you should not simply give them a bouquet of daisies. Instead, try to choose an arrangement that prominently features daisies as well as a number of other, complimentary flowers.
One thing to remember when you are shopping for birthday flowers is that different people have different feelings about birthdays. While some see cause to celebrate, others fear aging and become depressed. While you should always gear your flower arrangement to the celebratory, the mindset of your recipient should still play a part in your decisions. If you know that your recipient is excited about their birthday, you can pull out all the stops. Go for large arrangements that feature bright colours and exotic flowers. If you know that the person you are buying for is feeling down about their birthday, on the other hand, you may want to choose a less extravagant arrangement. While you may still want to go for fun, colourful flowers, you should choose a smaller bouquet and stick to one or two main colours. You want the flowers to be happy and celebratory, but you do not want them to draw attention to themselves. You should also stay away from flowers that are often given in sympathy, such as lilies or white roses.
In the end, it is your recipient's personality that should have the biggest effect on the arrangement you buy. A young, carefree, fun-loving person might enjoy a large, colourful, wildflower bouquet. Someone who sees themselves as a bit more sophisticated might prefer a simple bouquet of red and yellow roses. Classic roses are also a great choice if you want to put a romantic spin on your gift. Paired with a bottle of wine or a box of fine chocolates, these birthday flowers make the perfect birthday gift for anyone you want to impress.
