Make it Personal

We have all heard the cliché “it’s the thought that counts” still holds true, honestly it does. When choosing happy birthday flowers as gifts, or any gift for that matter like teddy bears or chocolates, the effort and thought you put into selecting them matters the most. Don’t worry, exerting effort and putting thought doesn’t mean it will entail a lot of work. There are many easy ways to make your flower gift more personal.

You can choose a bouquet filled with the recipient’s favourite flowers whether they are gerbera daises, Australian Native Flowers, Lilies, Carnations but to name a few. Such a gift implies that you notice and remember what the recipient likes. If you don’t know her favourite flowers, you can go with blooms in her favourite colours. You can view all our flowers broken down into specific colours by clicking on our collection called flowers colors.

You can choose a flower bouquet with a sentimental value like our Blissful Botanics Bunch. Think of the first bouquet you gave to her; or the flowers on the table where you had your first date. It could also be the flower on the dress she wore when you first noticed her, or the flower that reminds you of her like a red rose, or stunning lily flower.

We write a blog recently titled: Best Flowers for Birthdays, it is worth a read and contains some great tips on what flowers to send, when to send them, and a whole range of interesting facts.

Match the Occasions' Mood

A birthday is and always should be a joyous occasion, one to always remember, so make sure you pick a flower gift that looks and feels festive and celebratory. Think of large sunflowers or Black Eyed Susans, a multicolored bouquet of roses, or a red-orange-yellow ensemble of large head flowers in season. Consider flowers with vibrant tones like hot pink roses, magenta dianthus, fuchsia dahlias, yellow mums, two-toned red-yellow marigolds, bright orange snapdragons, deep blue-violet irises, and purple spider mums.

This doesn’t mean you only have to pick bold and bright flower arrangements, though. Dreamy, pastel bouquets can also look cheerful if designed right.
