Sending flowers means sending a message, expressing an emotion, marking a moment. Whether it’s to say “I love you”, “I’m thinking of you” or “Happy birthday”, a well-chosen bouquet always hits the spot! But how do you choose the perfect bouquet for a home flower delivery? Between the choice of flowers, colors, seasonality and the symbolism that goes with it, it’s easy to get lost. Let’s take a look at how to make the right choice!
The occasions that dictate bouquet choice
Before you even think about the flowers themselves, it all starts with the occasion – and with good reason! A Mother’s Day bouquet won’t look the same as a thank-you bouquet or a funeral arrangement. For grand declarations of love, we’ll often opt for red roses, the timeless classic. For thank-you or congratulations, brightly colored flowers such as sunflowers or yellow tulips are perfect for expressing joy and gratitude.
Also think about the person to whom you want to send a bouquet of home flowers… Knowing their tastes – do they prefer exotic flowers, pastel colors, or classic roses? – is the key to creating a truly personalized and memorable bouquet.
Focus on freshness and seasonality
We’re probably not telling you anything by saying that when choosing a bouquet, the freshness of the flowers is a must, especially for home delivery. For this reason, choose seasonal flower arrangements, which are inevitably fresher. What’s more, they last longer, look better and cost less! For example, a bouquet of peonies in winter may look superb in photographs, but it’s likely to be expensive, and arrive a little less fresh at your destination.
The advantage of opting for seasonal flowers is also that you can take advantage of the varieties that mark each period of the year: tulips or daffodils in spring, dahlias in autumn, or amaryllis in winter. What’s more, it’s an eco-responsible choice that avoids the long distances involved in transporting flowers.
Think about the symbolism of colors and flowers
Every flower has its own symbolism, and colors amplify the message: red roses are synonymous with passionate love, while white roses evoke purity and innocence. White lilies are perfect for expressing majesty and serenity, often chosen for ceremonies or moments of contemplation. Bright colors, like yellow and orange, inspire joy and energy, ideal for a bouquet intended to brighten someone’s day or celebrate a happy event.
If you’re hesitating between several options, don’t hesitate to ask your florist for advice. They’ll be able to guide your choice according to the occasion and the recipient, but also taking into account the symbolism, for a bouquet that sends the right message!
Choosing the right presentation for visual impact
The shape of the bouquet counts too! A round bouquet gives an impression of softness and harmony, perfect for a romantic or friendly gesture. Tall arrangements, on the other hand, have a more formal, imposing look, suitable for more solemn occasions. Country bouquets, with wild flowers, seduce with their natural, authentic feel, ideal for relaxed events.
Finally, to maximize the effect of the delivery, opt for a presentation that will make a lasting impression: a natural kraft paper wrapping for a rustic effect, or an elegant box for a more sophisticated look. And that’s it!
