Are you looking for tips to give flowers to your girlfriend? If so, as a retired florist, I think I can help. Guys used to come to our flower shop often asking what kind of flowers are appropriate to give to their girlfriend. But first of all, kudos to you for thinking of sending flowers to a lucky girl in the first place.
The first consideration when selecting which flowers to buy for your girlfriend is the stage you are in in your relationship. Is this your first date or have you been dating for a few months or a few years? Are you buying flowers for a special occasion or just to say I love you or I’m thinking of you? Let me try to answer all these questions…
If you want to bring flowers or send flowers to your girl before the first date, the best idea is to send a small mixed bouquet of seasonal flowers, nothing fancy, just a nice little bouquet. If you have been dating for a while, a medium or large mixed bouquet would be much appreciated. This bouquet can be wrapped in cellophane or in a vase depending on where you take the flowers.
If you are having the bouquet delivered to your home or apartment, you can bring or get a vase bouquet or a wrapped bouquet. However, if you are bringing flowers to a restaurant date, you may want to bring an easy-to-carry bouquet in a vase or an arrangement in a keepsake mug or other type of container that she can keep as a reminder. you every time she sees it even after the flowers are dead. If your date will take you to a lot of places and you don’t want her to have the hassle of dragging flowers all over town, you can bring her a single rose or a corsage.
For the rose, whatever you do, don’t bring her a red rose on the first date! This is too heavy for a first meeting! Roses are the most symbolic of flowers. Each rose has a different meaning and you can definitely research that to send the right message. If you’ve been dating for a while and want to tell her you love her with flowers, by all means give her red roses. At the beginning of a relationship, if you go with yellow roses for friendship or pink roses for joy and appreciation, you will be safe. Make sure you get a spike of water so the rose stays healthy all night. A corsage, specifically a wristband corsage, would be perfect if you’re wearing it to a dance or club. Again, don’t make it too big to scare her off if this is your first date.
If you want to send flowers to your girlfriend to celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, you have the option of sending a mixed seasonal bouquet in a vase or a bouquet of roses. However, the most important part of the flower delivery process is the sentiment card that you will attach to the bouquet. Try to write something other than happy birthday with love, John or something like that. Something more like: You mean so much to me, thank you for being such a wonderful girlfriend or I can’t wait to get to know you better, I love spending time with you will be a much better success.
