How To Select The Flower Bouquet That Matches Your Special Event

By Gary Webb

You have to be ready for an assault on your senses before stepping into a flower shop for a bouquet, as the sheer diversity of bouquets offered for sale will confound you to the point of indecision. But as there are meanings and human events associated with every flower, the job of picking the right flower for a specific occasion becomes simpler. If you know what meanings are conveyed by the different flowers, then you are left with a small set of flowers to choose from, and your choice becomes less complicated.

The concept of flowers reflecting states of mind has continued for many years, with the Victorians upholding it more strongly than the people of other ages. Red roses represent fidelity in love, and yellow roses symbolize love that is less physical and more like companionship. Tulips and carnations too convey messages and feelings according to their diverse colours.

Marriages are memorable occasions and most guests are expected to present bouquets to the couple. The most appropriate bouquets for weddings are those that suit the theme or season in which the wedding is taking place. If the marriage falls in spring, then a bouquet with spring flowers can be gifted to the couple, and in case of a traditional marriage a bouquet having a combination of white and red flowers can be presented.

Bright flowers that reflect happiness, like roses, daisies and chrysanthemums must be chosen for anniversaries and birthdays in keeping with the mood of merriment. Someone who has successfully concluded his or her graduation with flying colours deserves flowers that people can are associated with both gaiety and subtlety. Colourful lilies serve the purpose well, and a combination of two to three colours gives an added appeal to the arrangement.

White flowers, especially sombre ones like white carnations, are normally meant for funerals or other sorrowful occasion s. A white wreath or bouquet implies that you as a giver are wishing that the dead person's soul may find everlasting peace. However, bright flowers like tropical blooms are the best bearers of a get-well-soon message, and hence they are fit for gifting to people who are bed ridden due to illness.

Picking the right bouquet for an event might seem like a very complex job, but the professional advice of a florist can immensely help you in this regard. Any good florist in Singapore will be happy to help the buyer in selecting the correct flowers for the occasion.
