Looking for the perfect way to wish someone a happy birthday? Why not send a beautiful bunch of happy birthday flowers that speak from the heart! When it comes to selecting the right blooms, it’s all about matching the flowers to the personality of the birthday person. Whether they’re bold and vivacious or soft and subtle, there’s a flower arrangement to suit every type of person, just like their unique personality!
Not sure what their favorite flower is? No worries! You can always ask them, or sneakily get a family member or friend to spill the beans. Once you’ve got the inside scoop on their preferences, it’s time to dive into the fun part—choosing the perfect floral arrangement! Read on for a guide to nailing those birthday flower choices like a pro.
Your Ultimate Birthday Flowers Guide
One of the best things about sending flowers for a birthday is the variety you can choose from. You can go all-out with a stunning, showy bouquet or opt for something more understated and timeless. It’s all about the birthday person’s vibe and what you think would make them smile! Whether you’re going big or keeping it subtle, here are some tips to help you pick the perfect flowers:
Match Colours to Their Personality
Flowers are like the mood ring of the plant world. Picking the right colour can set the tone for the gift!
- Vibrant, bold flowers (think sunflowers, daisies, or tulips) are perfect for someone who’s outgoing, energetic, and loves to have fun.
- Pastels (like soft peach or lavender) are ideal for someone who’s gentle and graceful, or just prefers a more serene aesthetic.
- White flowers symbolise purity and elegance, great for someone who’s subtle, refined, and always leaves a lasting impression in the most gentle way.
Flowers for their birth month
Another fun way to choose flowers is to pick blooms that align with their birth month! Here’s a handy guide to help you pick flowers by month:
January – Carnations are a go-to!
February – Irises will steal the show.
March – Daffodils are a perfect choice.
April – You can’t go wrong with daisies.
May – Lilies are a classic.
June – Roses steal the spotlight here.
Size matters – Poco or Posy?
Now, let’s talk size! When it comes to choosing the right size of flower for a birthday arrangement, you’ll want to take into account the overall look you’re going for. If you want something that’s more understated, then stick with smaller blooms such as the Poco Posy. But if you want to really make a statement, then the Deluxe Posy is for you! Choose large flowers like hydrangeas or orchids.
Wrap, Vase or Pickle Jar?
The final decision on how to choose flowers for birthday arrangements is whether or not you want to include a vase with the flowers. Whether it’s a simple glass vase or a vase that makes a statement, the opportunities are quite endless. If you’re not sure what to do, then ask our team of florists for their recommendations. They’ll be able to help you choose the perfect arrangement for the special day.
