Focus on age
For little princesses, bouquets of delicate shades with small inflorescences will suit their first holidays. These are daisies, violets, pansies, spray roses. Children's floral gifts are usually decorated with bows, butterflies, rhinestones, or made in the form of a cute toy.
Important! The bouquet should not have thorns!
What flowers do you give a girl on her birthday? For a young beauty, it is better to choose plants with buds in delicate, pastel colors: white, pink, cream, blue. A bouquet for a girl can become an independent gift for her birthday.
The older the woman, the more saturated the shade of the buds will be. Representatives of the fair sex are presented with any flowers in the most fantastic combinations. If the donor is lost when choosing a variety, then in this case there is a universal option - the queen of the flower kingdom, the rose.
Choosing flowers for an anniversary is a responsible task. Anniversary flower sets for ladies of elegant age should be lush and chic. For women celebrating their 50th, 60th, 70th birthdays, you can give peonies or peony-shaped roses of various shades. For ladies of a halcyon age, compositions made from chrysanthemums, symbolizing wisdom and longevity, or from noble dahlias are suitable for their anniversary.
What flowers should not be given for a birthday? You should not choose inflorescences that are dark burgundy or close to black. Not everyone likes these colors in bouquets.
Rules of floral etiquette
There are many rules that it is advisable to adhere to when choosing a floral arrangement:
- It is advisable to give flowers in delicate shades to young ladies; use bright and rich colors for gifts to your beloved women.
- For older ladies, it is advisable to choose open flower buds in calm tones.
- Male flowers are carnations, irises, callas, and gladioli. However, bouquets are given to the stronger half of humanity not so often, usually on the most special occasions.
- For a child or teenager, you can choose flora with small buds in delicate shades.
Congratulations to the leader
Modern women bear the burden of responsibility not only for their family, but also for large teams. Among the bosses there are many representatives of the fair sex, and each of them dreams of being happy and surrounded by attention. Flowers for the boss will be the best compliment from subordinates.
VIP compositions are suitable; it is better to order delivery of them directly to the office. A mono bouquet will look impressive. It’s a good idea to keep the color scheme for a gift in orange tones, since orange represents power and success. However, in each case the boss’s preferences should be taken into account.
You should not be zealous in designing a composition for the chef, decorating it too much. Less bows, ribbons, butterflies and sparkles. No frivolity!
Tulips2
Tulips are considered a seasonal flower and appear on shelves only in March. However, they bring no less joy than the above-mentioned roses. The color range of buds is so rich and varied that sometimes it is very difficult to choose a specific bouquet. It is believed that tulips are suitable for women of any age. This spring flower carries a message of rebirth, love, joy.
The only exception is yellow tulips. As you know, they are considered to be harbingers of separation. Even if a man does not believe in superstitions, he should still refrain from such a bouquet for his beloved’s birthday. After all, a girl may take such a gift as a hint of separation. But the birthday girl doesn’t need unpleasant emotions.
Congratulations mom
As a sign of gratitude, flowers for your mother's birthday should be chosen based on her personal taste. Delightful roses, delicate lilies of the valley, cheerful daisies, joyful gerberas - everything that mommy loves will be the best gift for her.
But don't go to extremes. White flowers are usually given to brides, and scarlet flowers to spouses and lovers. Although, if mother does not object, then you can break this rule. Her beloved sons and daughters are best acquainted with her preferences.
What flower in a pot can be given to a woman?
If you want to make a floral surprise that will remind you of you for many years, give a houseplant. The main thing is that it is blooming.
- Experienced gardeners will appreciate azalea
. A small bush with many lace-like inflorescences will decorate any room.
- As an alternative to a bouquet, they often choose orchid
. But the flower requires care and certain gardening skills. If you don’t know whether a woman is ready to care for a plant, buy something less capricious.
- Geranium
many associate it with a single woman, but these are stereotypes. Simply its unpretentiousness and frequency of flowering make it a favorite of grandmothers.
- Few people know that gerberas
They also give it as a gift in a pot, and not just as a cut. With careful care they bloom even in winter.
Flowers can compliment a woman better than any words. If you approach their choice taking into account our advice, you will be the most eloquent guest at any celebration.
Congratulations to my friend
Years of female friendship are no joke. Joys and sorrows experienced together, girlish mysteries and secrets, intrigues - all this contains a bouquet for a soulmate.

Floristry rules
Mono-bouquets can say better than words what feelings a guy has for a girl. They contain only one type of color, so the messages sent with their help are easy to decipher.
You can give composite compositions to your mother and friend, where a mixture of colors and harmony will reflect the feelings of a loved one and his wishes.
How much to give
If a guy wants to express that a girl is the one and only in his life, you can’t find better than one flower.
- Three copies are given in case of friendship, warmth and affection, 5 roses or peonies - a declaration of love.
- Nine – friendly disposition and trust.
- 11 colors are a way to show your admiration for the birthday girl’s talents.
- 15 is a symbol of recognition of the merits of the recipient.
- A super bouquet with a very large number of flowers can indicate the age of the birthday girl or simply express the degree of admiration for the owner of the bouquet.

Bouquet for a girl: when and why to give
If you remember, at all times artists and poets compared the beauty of flowers with the charm of girls.
However, there are also men who are able to call a bouquet a completely unnecessary “broom”. In fact, they simply do not know that flowers are an exquisite tool that can positively influence the wayward girlish nature . After all, any of the fair sex, seeing a bouquet in the hands of her boyfriend, will immediately become kinder.
Men who have managed to perfectly master the magic of flowers can quite successfully use it, appeasing their life partner as needed. Even a simple small bouquet is quite capable of softening an unpleasant situation for a girl, for example, if a lover is late for a romantic date or completely forgot to call.
There are many different reasons to give flowers to a girl. And there are never too many of them. However, most often flowers are given during the so-called “candy-bouquet” period. Also, they must be purchased on the days of your symbolic dates that have passed since you met. Maybe it will be a month, maybe a year, or maybe even 80 days - all this will be a reason to present your beloved with a bouquet. Well, and, of course, you can’t do without them on holidays such as March 8 or name day.
