How to Choose the Right Bouquet 

Hoping to get a bouquet for someone you love and not sure where to start? Here are some tips for choosing the right arrangement: 

  • Use What You Know. Start by thinking of the person you are buying flowers for. What are their favorite colors or flowers? Are they more traditional or do they prefer modern and creative styles? Use your best judgment to match the flowers to the recipient. 

  • Consider the Occasion. Certain kinds of bouquets are a better match for certain kinds of occasions. Deep, dark colored flowers are most appropriate for romantic occasions, while light colors are better for those recovering from illness. Cheerful bouquets fit cheerful occasions. 

  • Understand Symbolism. Different kinds of plants, flowers, and colors have different meanings. Red is a symbol for passion or romantic love, while yellow is positivity. Lilies represent hope, and daisies symbolize innocence.

  • Match the Season. It’s a good idea to opt for flowers that are in season to help them last the longest. Some flowers are known for their longevity, like orchids and carnations.

  • Ask a Florist. When in doubt, you can ask one of our florists for their expert opinions on the best flowers to match the occasion and the person. 

Flower Care Tips at Home 

To make sure flowers last as long as possible at home, there are a few things you can do. Trim the stems at a 45° angle, change the water every two days, and remove leaves below the water line. You should also keep flowers away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and use any plant food the florist includes with your order.
