Choosing The Correct Flower For The Right Ocassion

By Randy Drilon

Whether we give them as gifts for special events or for expressing our feelings towards those who matter to us most, flowers are more often than not the first choice. However, due caution and judgment should be exercised in choice of flowers, because they come in mind-boggling varieties and have been associated with certain meanings to suit certain occasions.

While choosing flowers, you have to maintain a fair balance between what the recipient likes and what is appropriate for the occasion. For instance, if the event is a happy one then you can opt for something vivid and colourful like daisies or roses. But distressing events require you to show your condolence by presenting flowers like white carnations or gladiolus.

In case you are not so well acquainted with the receiver, you can go for the normal choices without exercising your judgment and taking any risk in this regard. Here too, the occasion and the mood govern everything. For instance, seasonal flowers are a very good choice for a wedding and a bunch of lilies of different colours is great for a person's graduation.

Brilliantly coloured flowers are suited for birthdays. For milestone anniversary such as 25 years, a more conventional and luxurious bouquet is appropriate, perhaps with a specified colour scheme to suit the occasion. In celebration of giving birth, pink flowers are good choice for a baby girl, and yellow or orange flowers for a boy. The type of flower most suitable for all these affairs are gerberas, these are brilliant and bold flowers.

If you are indecisive about which flower to select, you must ask an expert florist in a flower shop or an online florist to guide you in your choice. To make sure that you receive reliable service, pick a florist who represents a reputed brand and offers a vast range of choices. If you are based in Singapore and are looking for great flowers, then this job would be quite easy. You can bump into a Singapore flower shop in any market, and can also try out online shopping if you are tech savvy. To look for an online shop, all you need to do is search for the words 'florist Singapore', and you will find a lot of options to pick from.

Online shops allow you to look through virtual catalogues and offer more options than offline shopping. However, you must be aware of some crucial factors like extra charges for delivering the flowers and the time and date when they are going to be delivered. When you opt for online shopping services, you must also be cautious not to type your credit card data on a dubious site that may cause theft of that data. On the other hand, for many people there is nothing like purchasing from a specialist florist, and they would never trade his suggestions for the convenience of online flower shopping. - 32376
