Are you looking for tips for giving flowers to your girlfriend? If so, as a retired florist, I think I can help. Guys used to come to our florist often asking what kind of flowers are appropriate to give to their girlfriend. But first of all, I congratulate you for thinking about sending flowers to a lucky girl in the first place.
The first consideration when selecting which flowers to buy for your girlfriend is where she is in your relationship. Is this your first date or have you been dating for a few months or years? Are you buying flowers for a special occasion or just to say I love you or am I thinking of you? Let me try to answer all these questions …
If you want to bring flowers or have flowers delivered to your girl before your first date, the best idea is to send a small mixed bouquet of seasonal flowers, nothing fancy, just a nice bouquet. If you’ve been dating for a while I’d appreciate a medium or large mixed bouquet. This bouquet can be cello wrapped or vase wrapped depending on where you bring the flowers.
If you are sending the bouquet to your home or apartment, you can bring or get a vase bouquet or a wrapped bouquet. However, if you are bringing flowers on a restaurant date, you can bring an easy-to-carry bouquet in a vase or an arrangement in a keepsake mug or other type of container that you can put away to remind you each time. you see it even after the flowers are dead. If your date will have you going to a lot of places and you don’t want her to have the hassle of dragging flowers around town, you can bring her a single rose or corsage.
For the rose, whatever you do, don’t bring her a red rose on the first date! This is too heavy for a first encounter! Roses are the most symbolic flowers. Each rose has a different meaning and you can definitely research it to send the right message. If you’ve been dating for a while and want to tell her that you love her with flowers, by all means give her red roses. At the beginning of a relationship, if you opt for yellow roses for friendship or pink roses for joy and appreciation, you will be safe. Make sure to get a spike of water so the rose stays healthy overnight. A corsage, specifically a bracelet corsage, would be perfect if you are wearing it to a dance or club. Again, don’t make it too big to scare her if this is your first date.
Whether you want to send your girlfriend flowers to celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, you have the option of sending a mixed seasonal bouquet in a vase or a bouquet of roses. However, the most important part of the flower gifting process is the sentiment card that you will attach to the bouquet. Try writing something other than Happy Birthday with love, John or something like that. Something else like: you mean a lot to me, thank you for being such a wonderful girlfriend or I’m looking forward to getting to know you better, I love spending time with you and it will be so much better.
