Choosing the Right Flower

You just do not go picking up and gifting any flower that you feel like on any occasion! Even as far as occasions are concerned, one has to choose the right flower pertinent to that event and gift. Every flower has its own set of emotions and a wrong flower might be interpreted in a negative manner. None of us is a florist and hence it is better to know which flower suits what occasion and then give the gift accordingly.

Romantic Confessions: The Red Rose works best in this case. The flower is said to radiate unique vibes that go right into the heart and arouse sensitive feelings. Be it an old fashioned romance or a new age love story, red roses work best with couples of all cultures and nationalities. The flower is known across the world for its classic appeal and attraction quotient and hence becomes the automatic choice for everyone who has heard stories about people wooing each other through this rose. Other flowers that might be good substitutes include Lilies, Orchids, Wildflowers and Daisies. The ones mentioned are good at conveying the message of love well.

Congratulatory Notes: Congratulating someone is an occasion of celebration for the person receiving the laurels. Such occasions are best represented by bright colours and hence, it is appropriate that the person or persons in the picture are given flowers in bright and contrasting colours. Such flowers communicate warmth.

Thanks: There can be no better way to express gratitude than by gifting flowers. Flowers are the most appropriate way to express thankfulness and hence suffice for the occasion. The flowers need to be chosen carefully because behind them is a hidden meaning which conveys thankfulness and should be interpreted in the right manner by the recipient. Pink flowers express that sentiment well and hence can be used as flowers to say thanks.

Apology: Apologizing is one tough task and has to be done properly. Since offering apologies can often go wrong, the flowers have to be picked up very carefully. Warm tones can be chosen for they genuinely reflect an apology and move the recipient in many ways. One very important thing to do is attach a hand written note with the flowers as it will have a more calming effect.

Fast Recovery: Get well soon gestures are taken very well by recipients. They perceive it as a token of genuine warmth and are very attached to the gift. The flowers that would go well for this occasion would be something very reclusive and subtle. His is because when the person is still recuperating, bright coloured flowers signify good health and might be perceived as insulting. Subtle variations are taken in good spirit and create a good impression.

All these occasions keep coming in our lives all the time and it is only appropriate that we learn what flower would work for what occasion. This way, one will always be on the better side of things and strike the right chord with people.
