Choosing The Proper Flower For The Right Event

By Randy Drilon

Whether we give them as presents for special events or for showing our feelings towards people who matter to us most, flowers are always the first choice. However, with so much variety in flowers and with specific meanings attached to most of them, you have to be cautious to ensure that you are picking the right flowers for an event.

Prior awareness of the likes and dislikes of the person receiving the flowers makes the choice simple, but at the same time the appropriateness according to the occasion has to be kept in mind. For instance, flowers with bright colours such as daisies or roses can be selected for joyful occasions, as they are in keeping with the mood of such events. But when it is an occasion of grief, flowers like white carnations that appropriately express sorrow and suffering should be selected.

Too much experimentation from your side regarding choice of flowers might not work if the recipient is not very familiar to you, and in such a scenario it is better to opt for traditional and safe choices. Here again, the occasion and the mood dictate everything. For example, you can present a bunch of colourful lilies to wish a person on having successfully finished graduation, and seasonal flowers to couples on their day of marriage.

Birthdays are generally a time for giving bold and brightly coloured flowers. For milestone anniversary such as 25 years, a more conventional and luxurious bouquet is proper, perhaps with a specified colour scheme to suit the occasion. To observe a birth, pink flowers are an apparent choice for a girl, and orange or yellow flowers for a boy. The type of flower most suitable for all these affairs are gerberas, these are bright and bold flowers.

When you are unsure about flower selection, it is always a good idea to utilize the services of an expert florist, be it the flower shop next to your house or an online florist. A florist having a wide variety of flowers and bouquets, and good standing in the market or one who represents a well known brand in the flower-selling industry must be able to provide you the best value for money. If you are based in Singapore and are looking for great flowers, then this task would be quite easy. Most commercial centres have a nice Singapore flower shop, and the option of buying through the internet is also available for more convenience. To get an exhaustive list of online flower shops, you just have to go to any prominent search engine and search for 'florist Singapore'.

Online shops allow you to look through virtual catalogues and offer more options than offline shops. But you must keep in mind the extra charges imposed by online shops on delivery of flowers, and how timely it would be. You should also ensure that the credit card information that you are providing is on a secure network and is not going to be misused. On the other hand, for many people there is nothing even remotely similar to buying from a specialist florist, and they would by no means trade his advice for the convenience of online flower shopping.
