Congratulation flowers send the message, ‘Good for you’ and ‘Well done’. Success needs to be shared and accomplishments acknowledged and a flower delivery is the perfect way of showing your happiness and sharing in someone’s success.
There are many occasions when you may wish to congratulate someone and show your support. For example:-
- on academic success
- on the birth of a child
- on the opening of a new business
- on getting a new job
- on becoming engaged.
The traditional flower arrangement to convey a message of congratulations is twenty five roses. However, in many parts of the world, carnations are more popular than roses and light red carnations are used to show happiness and admiration. Carnations have the added merit of being extremely long-lasting and have a freshness about them that adds to their beauty. They are also instantly recognisable and are a favourite to send as birthday flowers, wedding flowers or anniversary flowers.
When a couple have been married for four years, the anniversary they celebrate is the Flower Anniversary and a gift of flowers is particularly appropriate at that time. The gift could comprise flowers which were used in the bride’s bridal bouquet such as lily of the valley or camellia. Alternatively, you might choose a flower which you know had some significance in their relationship. The flower usually associated with the fourth wedding anniversary is the geranium which comes in many colours from vibrant reds to delicate pinks.
If you are congratulating someone close to you, your choice of flower might evoke special memories between yourself and the other person and might depend on the subtle scent of the flower as well as the colour. For a work colleague, employer or employee you may not be aware of their favourite flower so a visit to your online florist will help you choose a suitable arrangement. An attractive floral gift can be made by artistically arranging a simple exotic flower with fern or other green foliage - think of the classic appeal of a single orchid in a presentation case.
The time of year in which you make your flower delivery can influence your choice of flower. Although some flowers such as gerbera, gardenia, daisy, freesia, orchid, lily, carnation and chrysanthemum are not particularly affected by changing seasons, most flowers and seasons are intertwined. Springtime is the traditional season for daffodils and their lovely yellow colour will brighten up any room. Other flowers which bloom in spring are freesia, hyacinth, peony, sweet pea and tulip. Summer is traditionally the time when flowers are at their best and typical flowers growing at this time are hydrangea, iris, carnation as well as the rose. Anemone, sunflower and gladioli bloom in autumn; while in winter, you can find cyclamen, pansy and narcissus.
Nowadays, flowers can be obtained out of their normal season and, without leaving your home or office, you can view a beautiful selection of congratulation flowers at your online florist.
