Hello Everyone!

After the previous posts, monothematic and a little bit creepy, about Halloween, today I wrote a “Detox Post”! An easy, colored post  with simple topic, but really useful for every special events.

I’ll talk about Flowers! Give a flower to someone isn’t really common like it can seem. There is a specific massage behind every flower, every occasion has its specific flowers and there are different flowers for different people. The 3 things to consider when you’ll decide to buy a flower to a special person are:

1. The person;
2. The special event;
3. The message you want to send.

If you know this 3 topic and you’ll read this post, you’ll be able to buy easily the right flowers!

1. The Person

• Flowers for a man: the good manner doesn’t exclude  this option, but you have to follow some specific rules about it. You can’t give to a man fragile, romantic and feminine flower. White and pink flowers are banned! You must choose strong colors like red, orange and yellow. The correct flowers are tulips, paradise flower and roses with intense colors.
• Flowers for aged person: in this specific case, a plant is more appropriately than a bundle of cut flowers.
• Flowers for children: there are few occasion to give a flowers to a child. For example for a sport victory, for a recital ad for an artistic performance. In any case you must remember that they are children and for this reason you have to buy colored happy and funny flowers.
• Flowers for a woman: there are a bunch of options. The occasion, the message and your personal affinity with this girl are the critical variables for your choice.

2. The Event

•  Flower for a Birthday: there are many options for this specific event. Anyway, your bouquet or your bundle of cut flowers must fit the person who will receive it. Also your affinity with this person and his/her character are important variables to consider in your choice. At last but not least, the season of the birthday is really important for a correct choice. Some examples: for an happy person best choice are colored and fresh flowers like daisies,  gerberas and sunflowers; for the person you love you’ll buy roses; for an important person you’ll give orchids.
• Flowers for a degree: often some colleges and schools have their own specific colors. For example in USA: Harvard’s color is crimson, Columbia’s colors are blue and white, Yale’s color is blue, Barclay’s colors are crimson and grey and NYU’s color is mayfair violet. Also in Italy, and almost all over in the world, every college major has his specific color. For this reason if you want to buy some flower for a graduate you have to consider the specific color of his/her college.
• Flowers for a birth: To give a flower for a birth is a tradition. If you will send your flowers at the hospital, You’ll be carefull that they do not smell too strong, this could be a problem for the mum and for the baby. Obviously for a baby girl you’ll have to choice with and pink flowers and, for a baby boy blu and white flowers.
• Flowers for a Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation:  in all the 3 cases the perfect flowers are white. The flowers for the Church, for the following party or for the child must have a color which remember the purity and the candor of the moment. The best flowers for these moment are roses, lilies and gypsophila.
• Wedding’s Flowers: usually the bride choose the flowers for the wedding based of her personal tastes, the wedding’s theme and wedding’s dress. But also the wedding’s season is really important for choice the right flowers. I can’t say anything about the bride’s personal taste, but following I’ll show you some advice for the flowers based on the wedding’s season:
  • Wedding in Winter: in this season the key words are white, lights, red and precious stones. The right flowers are: liles of the valley, dahlia, eucalyptus berry, lilies and roses;
  • Wedding in Spring: in this season there are a lot of options. The wedding’s favorite colors are white, pink and green. The best flowers for this months are roses, tulips, peonies, hydrangeas, lavender, freesias and daisies…
  • Wedding in Summer: the colors for this season are brilliant like yellow and light blue. The best flowers are: roses, lisianthus, gerberas, anthuriums. If you like a country wedding you can use sunflowers. If you want something different you can choose curcuma flowers. For the centerpiece I suggest  peonies and carnations.
  • Wedding in Fall: the colors for this season are bordeaux, gold, brown chocolate and orange. The best flowers for these months are roses, dahlias, tulips, buttercup, orchids and the ivy.

It’s all for today! I hope to be helpful for someone! In the next post I’ll talk about the specific message behind a flower.
