Ten Reasons Why You Should Give Flowers

By Roseanne Picasso


Even in the past, flowers have been used to send messages of affection, love, joy, & even discontent. In fact, flowers have been used as a coded language traced back to Victorian times, called floriography. Whatever the occasion, flowers could be the most effective & nearly fool-proof way of saying what you feel. Here are 10 reasons why you may want to send a flower arrangement to someone special to you:

1. Birthdays - A nice way of letting a birthday celebrator know that she is special is with a nice flower arrangement. A lot of times, these bouquets are accompanied by balloons and fancy wrappers.

2. Graduation - Sending flowers to someone on his/her graduation is a fantastic way to acknowledge this person's very special day.

3. Valentine's Day or Anniversary - The traditional "dozen red roses" couldn't be any more romantic on special days like this. Some florists even offer chocolates or teddy bears to be included in the arrangement.

4. Housewarming - A beautiful, decorative flower bouquet, or even a fruit & flower basket, will bring life and color to a new home.

5. Funeral - In the rather unfortunate event that a family member passes away, a funeral flower arrangement is a well-appreciated thoughtful gesture that can show how much you care for that person & those he/she left behind.

6. Mother's Day - During Mother's Day, sending a bouquet or basket of flowers to your mom is a great way of showing appreciation for all the things she has done. It is also the most common way of sending love to mothers-this day is one of the busiest days for florists each year!

7. New Baby - The birth of a new child is yet another good reason to celebrate life. A celebratory flower bouquet is simple, but means a lot.

8. Host or hostess gift - Attending a party or dinner is a privilege, so bringing a fresh cut bouquet of flowers (often accompanied by wine) is a great gesture and is ever appreciated.

9. Congratulations - Sending flowers and/or a gift to celebrate a friend's achievement is usually unexpected, and very sweet, which makes it even more special.

10. Only because - Sometimes, giving flower bouquets only because you're thinking of them, is one of the best reasons of all!
