For special occassions make sure to pick the right flowers

This question inevitably arises when we are going to present a bouquet, and it is not simple to find an answer. May be it is not worth thinking about and you can just buy long-stemmed roses - a nice gift, isn’t it? It’s up to you to choose but if you want the bouquet to be impressive you should think carefully. Definitely you care about the way you look and if you can keep your style.

There are several approaches to the choice of flowers. First you should present the flowers that the person loves. You may say that it is easier to give advice than to do. But what if you don’t know the recipient’s preferences or may be he or she is indifferent to flowers? In this case you should follow flower etiquette. Professional florist will help you to keep rules if you will inform him or her about the age, profession and even character of the recipient. Of course the occasion for presenting flowers is very important too.
It is also significant that we have different objectives while giving a present. First you must decide if you want to present the bouquet that will be exactly the one the recipient wants, that will touch his or her heart; or may be you want to buy a bouquet that you like. Probably the most important thing for you is to make the bouquet look expensive and impressive? It is also possible that from your point of view the main feature of the bouquet is eccentricity and extravagance of form and flowers.
Anyway there are several rules that may help to make an appropriate gift. First – the color. Flowers of light pastel shades (white, pink, ivory-colored, navy, pale lilac) suit young women. At the same time flowers of saturated colors: maroon, yellow, violet, blue suit middle-aged ladies.
Second – size of flowers. Demands for man’s bouquet are stricter. They are mainly presented large flowers: one-headed chrysanthemums, roses in a large goblet and such exotic flowers as anthurium, strelizia, eremura and callas of various types. Florist-designer will help you to choose greenery and accessories suited for the bouquet.
Third – form of the bouquet. Without going into detail we should say that if the composition of the bouquet for a lady gives a wide field for creativity, a man’s bouquet is restricted to pyramidal, triangular forms or may be arranged in a linear style.
