Giving flowers is, in the West, an expression of love as universal as it gets. We give flowers for so many of the most special events in our lives that knowing how to give the right flowers for the right occasion is not just an art form unto itself, but an important and potentially even life-altering one at that.
Here are a few tips and tricks for giving special event flowers for weddings and prom in particular.
Buying for Weddings
Weddings are festive. They should look festive. You therefore want your floral arrangements to be, on the whole, bright, vivid, and cheery. What’s more, while delicate beauties can be absolutely gorgeous in a vase, remember that there’s also lots of activity during a wedding—not to mention the tossing of the bouquet itself! You’ll probably have enough petals dotting the floor as it is with your flower girls tossing them, so buying special event flowers for weddings which are a bit on the hardier side—especially if you intend on wearing them—might not be a bad idea either.
Buying for Prom
Ah, prom—it’s every teen’s night to feel like a star or starlet, and one of the best examples of how important it can be to take care when it comes to ordering the right special event flowers. A bouquet can be a popular prom gift—as long as you order it close to the event itself (no one wants to receive wilted roses!). What’s more, if you really want to show you care, you might do well to seek out flowers that match your date’s color preferences and personality. In addition, if you are looking to wear a bouquet—or rose, for that matter—you want to measure it, make sure it fits with your suit or dress, and of course make sure the colors coordinate.
