Bouquet of Pink Flowers

Often, when we think of florists, it’s specifically in the context of major eventsa wedding, a funeral, or Valentine’s Day. And while those are definitely good reasons to order beautiful bouquets, flowers can be used throughout the year for many more occasions.

Why Flowers?

The simple gesture of giving flowers can say so muchwhatever you want it to, really. They can celebrate with you and mourn with you. They can say, “Thank you” and, “I love you.” And if you really appreciate someone, they can simply be gifted just because.

On top of their sentimental versatility, you can also gift flowers in whatever quantity you want. A dozen is the typical amount for grand romantic gestures or congratulating accomplishments. But you could double that for special occasions, or simply give a few to show someone that were thinking of them. Plus, you can mix and match colors and styles.

Bonus Tip: Ask your florist for pairing recommendations. They’ll know best what is in season and what matches.

When Flowers?

We’ve already mentioned typical occasions that warrant gifting flowers—Valentine’s Day no doubt being the most notablebut when else can you bring someone a bouquet? Below, we suggest eight unique opportunities to bring someone flowers.

4. After a Breakup

While floral bunches are typically used for celebration, they serve well to lift the spirits of someone who’s going through a hard time.

5. For Housekeepers, Delivery People, Mail Carriers

Let’s face it, they’re the real MVPs. But chances are you don’t know them well enough for a personal gift. Ask your local florist what arrangement says, “I appreciate you,” then gift it the next time you see them.

Bonus Tip: Pair it with a giftcard to a local restaurant, or general retailer.

6. Birthdays

Because friends and family often celebrate birthdays on the weekend before or after the actual date, surprise someone by sending them birthday flowers to their work on home on the exact day.

7. Graduations or Acceptances

8. Just Because

While we may have come up with some great opportunities to bring someone flowers—you don’t actually need a reason. Flowers can also tell someone, “I was thinking of you!” and are sure to put a smile on their face.

Conclusion

Flowers say it all! When in doubt, bring a few over to an elated or a disheartened friend. We recommend always bringing a vase with you, in case they don’t have one the right size—better to be prepared!
