What bouquet to give mom for her birthday. We choose flowers correctly.  

What flowers can you give to your mother?

The simplest and most win-win option is to give the woman her favorite flowers. However, sometimes you want to surprise or make an unusual surprise. Based on your mother's character. If she is emotional and likes to be the center of attention, choose bright buds: orange, purple, blue, red and yellow. Give a woman with a quiet and calm disposition compositions in pastel colors. A gentle gradient or a mix of muted pink, white and cream roses looks beautiful.

Choosing flowers for mom, taking into account their symbolism

To ensure that the bouquet not only pleases the recipient, but also conveys love and gratitude, when purchasing it, consider the language of flowers. We offer options that are ideal for expressing filial or daughterly feelings.

• Pink roses
  are an immortal classic. We recommend this shade because it symbolizes respect, warmth and a desire to take care of the recipient. Thanks to the variety of varieties, you can choose the tone of the buds in accordance with the age of the mother. For a young woman, choose a classic pink shade; if she is older, choose a juicy crimson shade.
• carnations
  are a symbol of maternal love ; they are presented on Mother's Day, which is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. In Russia, it is not customary to give red carnations just like that, but the flower has many shades: lemon, lilac, milky, two-colored - there will certainly be ones that your loved one will like.
• At the end of spring and summer, be sure to please your mother with peonies
  . We are used to seeing these flowers as gifts for teachers, in gardens and gardens. But in the East, peonies meant devotion to the emperor, his strength and power. It sounds majestic, but it is quite consistent with maternal status.

• To show honor and respect to your mother, give chrysanthemums
  . Single-headed varieties look majestic, so strict compositions are created from them. Bush species are more frivolous; they will talk about your feelings without unnecessary pomposity.
• If you are looking for something exotic, choose lilies
  ,
  
  cut orchids Even a few stems are enough to make an exquisite gift. It symbolizes femininity, grace and charm. Give a compliment and remind her of her mother's attractiveness.

When choosing the size of the composition, consider convenience and comfort. An elderly woman should not buy large bouquets: they are difficult to care for and difficult to change the water in the vase. If you decide to buy several dozen stems, take care of a suitable vase so that the flowers do not stand in a jar or bucket.

We give a flower in a pot

What flowers should I give my mother for her birthday if she is interested in growing home ornamental plants? If your mom has a lot of potted plants in her house, give her one more. In this case, there will be no shame in finding out in advance what exactly she wants to receive as a gift. However, you should buy something exclusive only after discussing the future purchase with the recipient of the gift. Many unusual flowers require special care, and their owner must have enough strength and time to cope with them.

How to choose the right bouquet for mom?

Any flowers are beautiful as long as they are fresh. Let us characterize the flower that was recently cut:

• The cut is green, uniform, without brown or dark inclusions.
• The leaves are whole and raised, without creases.
• The petals are elastic; if you bend them slightly, they return to their original position.
• The bud is half-bloomed. If it is completely closed, it means the flower was cut early, it has not yet matured and has not gained enough nutrients to stand for a long time when cut. Don’t buy fully bloomed flowers either, they are overripe and will quickly wither.

Choose roses with a “shirt”, that is, with outer petals that are slightly sloppy in appearance. They protect the bud during transportation and prolong the life of the cut flower. When the florist assembles the composition, he will remove the “shirt”.

Do not buy flowers whose petals are covered with glitter or varnish, whose buds are tied with elastic bands or packaged in a separate film. These are florist tricks to hide the staleness of the buds and disguise withered and damaged petals.

Paper buttercups

The buttercup looks similar to the chrysanthemum, the only difference is the color scheme and the size of the bud. Turn on your imagination, use your imagination and create a bouquet of paper flowers no worse than real ones.

To work, you will need the same consumables as for creating tulips, in addition, stock up on the following:

• cotton wool;
• yellow floral tape (can be replaced with corrugated paper).

How to present flowers to your mother?

In addition to choosing a gift, the process of delivering it is important. Even the most luxurious bouquet will leave an unpleasant aftertaste if presented silently and without a smile.

How to personally give a bouquet to your mother?

You can order the gift in designer packaging or ask to tie the stems with ribbon. In the first case, the composition is completely ready for donation. In the second too, but on the condition that the florists did not place the flowers in transparent film. According to etiquette, any film, even with an ornament, is packaging material and not part of the design, so it is removed before delivery.

When you present a surprise, be sure to say a few warm words and compliments, thank your mother for her care and love. If you chose flowers with meaning, tell us why you bought them. This will show that you prepared for the congratulations in advance and approached it consciously.

Tips for ordering flower delivery for mom

When using the services of a courier, ask the manager to include a postcard or accompanying note with the gift. Even if a woman knows about your gift, it is not customary to send it without a card.

Consider the place and time of delivery. Will it be convenient for mom to receive a bouquet? For example, if a woman brings it to work, it will impress her colleagues, but is she comfortable taking the composition home on the subway or on the bus? When delivering to the recipient's name, we recommend leaving his phone number so that the courier can contact you and arrange delivery. When the woman receives a surprise, call her again to say kind words, and she thanked her for her attention and care.

In our online store you can order flowers delivery or come to the salon and choose them yourself. Florists will always help you choose a gift taking into account the character, age and preferences of the recipient. Just decide that your mother should receive a bright gift today, and we will do the rest!

Creating flowers consists of the following steps:

1. Cut out small ovals 3-5 cm - tulip petals.
2. Cut long narrow strips from green paper - the base for the buds.
3. Using your fingers, form a curve of the petal - stroking movements from the center to the edge.
4. Make one side of the oval narrow, twist it with your fingers, this is where the petal attaches to the flower’s stem.
5. Cut the wire as long as you imagine the height of the flower.
6. Wrap one end of the wire with a green strip of paper - the base to which the petals will be attached. Secure the edges with glue.
7. Glue the petals to the wire base one by one, forming a bud.
8. Wrap the finished bud with another strip of green paper, securing the ends with glue.
9. Wrap the wire - the stem - with green paper to give strength to the product.
10. Cut out oblong, tapered leaves from green paper and attach them to the wire, like buds.
11. Make as many flowers as are enough to form a bouquet.
12. Wrap the finished bouquet with a wide strip of paper or pack it like a real bouquet.

You can put candy or a note with wishes in the buds. The gift is ready to please the birthday girl.

Different women - different bouquets

It is unlikely that the same arrangement will be suitable for congratulating your mother, boss and work colleague. These women have different statuses, which is necessarily emphasized by the corresponding flower gift.

It is not necessary to make a composition exclusively from plants. Today, sweet floristry is relevant, giving the opportunity to show off handicraft talents. It can also be used for an anniversary gift. But the candy must be expensive and without romantic overtones, which is typical, for example, for “Raffaello”.

Gift for boss

Usually, for an anniversary, the boss is given one common bouquet from the team. For a 55-year-old woman, a voluminous, but not overloaded with a variety of colors arrangement in a basket, hat box or stylish paper package is suitable. Decor in the form of butterflies, dragonflies and other similar jewelry, toppers, and ribbons instead of traditional wrapping are excluded.

It is advisable to maintain a strict range, using no more than 2 - 3 contrasting shades.

Suitable:

• roses;
• orchids;
• lilies;
• alstroemeria;
• eustoma;
• Shabot carnations;
• cineraria:
• chrysanthemums;
• callas;
• Muscari.

If the boss is far from conservative views and is keen on modern fashion trends, you can give her a somewhat unusual arrangement with a WOW effect. It is achieved through the non-standard use of indoor plants and gilding of decorative palm leaves.

Bouquet composition:

• Japanese skimmia;
• eustoma;
• bush carnation;
• ornithogalum;
• hypericum;
• Snapdragon;
• pistache

The “highlight” will be hippeastrum, which is traditionally considered an interior plant. But it also looks impressive in a gift composition. Hippeastrum has a characteristic feature - a stem that curls and darkens when cut. This defect not only spoils the appearance of the flower, but also prevents the flow of water to the buds, accelerating their withering. Wrapping the stem at the cutting site with anchor tape will help you avoid trouble.

But it is much more convenient to separate the gramophone inflorescences of the hippeastrum and place them on a test tube. This will simultaneously solve the problem of a thick stem, which enlarges the handle of the bouquet arrangement and makes it awkward.

Monstera leaves are spray painted with gold acrylic paint.

We start the assembly with the greens. To the palm leaves folded in the shape of a fan, add a sprig of hypericum, pistache, and then skimmia. We use a spiral assembly. We gradually introduce different types of flowers into the arrangement, alternating them with greenery.

The main and only focus will be the hippeastrum. We place it in the center and in the foreground, “enveloping” it with branches of skimmia and pistache. The curved peduncles of snapdragons will complete the composition and give it the missing dynamics. We add them last, forming a beautiful lower part.

We fix the stems with an anchor and trim them. For packaging, it is best to take graphite-colored tracing paper with a print. It will balance the composition and make it elegant and stylish. Such packaging is one of the leading trends in world floristry, actively used for business flower arrangements.

General recommendations

It’s worth starting with general tips that will help you choose a bouquet for any occasion (not just an anniversary). Usually, in a good florist salon, consultants, when helping to choose a bouquet, are interested in the age of the recipient. Further, guided by the rules of floristry, flowers for a woman or girl are selected in different ways:

1. For women, buds of bright and rich shades, for example, orange, crimson, and red, are better suited. Girls often choose pastel flowers, for example, cream, white, pale yellow, etc.
2. You should not choose too dark shades (dark burgundy or close to black). Usually such bouquets are associated with wilting. The only exception is when the birthday girl loves such flowers.
3. The buds in the bouquet should be fresh, lush, and voluminous. You shouldn’t mix too many flowers in a bouquet; it’s better to stick to a classic mono-bouquet (roses, chrysanthemums, lilies; you can also give girls wildflowers, such as daisies).

Flower etiquette rules

If you decide to give flowers to a woman on her 55th birthday, try to follow the rules of floral etiquette:

• Do not use flashy rhinestones, butterflies, unnecessary sparkles, bows or ruffles in the design of your compositions.
• The color of the packaging should match the solemnity of the event. It is advisable not to use provocative pink, purple, blue, yellow wrappers. The splendor of the composition should be emphasized by the beauty of the flora itself and the stylish design.
• At the moment when you present a bouquet to a lady, hold it in your left hand so that you can hug the woman or shake her hand with your right. At the time of delivery, transfer the flowers to your right hand.
• If you are choosing a composition for a retiring employee, be sure to include a greeting card with your warmest wishes in the bouquet.

An excellent choice would be unique compositions in flower baskets, hat boxes or vases. Pay attention to the figures made from fresh flowers. Florists can create a real work of art for you, it will be enough for you to simply make a choice. An equally interesting solution is inscriptions on rose petals. This amazing option will amaze and delight the woman of the day to the depths of her soul.

If you want to give a bouquet of flowers to a woman for her 55th birthday, you don’t have to follow generally accepted tenets and opinions. Sometimes it’s enough just to find out what color and what flowers a woman likes. Contact florists for help and create the most beautiful, exquisite and unforgettable composition for your loved one.

Important date

After 50 years, women no longer need to devote themselves entirely to their family and have time for self-realization. Often it is during these years that the “creative streak” awakens, the desire to open new horizons and find something to do to your liking. Feeling that a very important stage in life is approaching, many celebrate their 55th anniversary on a special scale.

According to the age horoscope, which is similar to the 12-year cycle among eastern peoples, the Dragon period begins, when active activity is combined with wisdom. The woman still feels young and in demand - her husband, children, and perhaps grandchildren need her. But at the same time, the former ardor and emotionality in actions disappears, decisions are made carefully, which gives an excellent result. The “Age of the Dragon” can be considered a blossoming, giving the opportunity to discover unknown reserves within oneself. It’s not for nothing that they joke that 55 years is the anniversary of a double excellent student.
