What flowers are best for every different occasion?
Each occasion calls for a different sentiment, and the right flower can help express it:
Birthday: Vibrant tulips, peonies, or sunflowers
Anniversary: Romantic roses, elegant orchids, or calla lilies
Sympathy/Funeral: White lilies, roses, or hydrangeas in soft tones
Congratulations: Bright and bold choices like ranunculus or mixed seasonal flowers
New Baby: Soft pastels like baby pink roses or pale blue hydrangeas
Just Because: Any bouquet that brings joy—think freestyle florals in your recipient’s favourite colours
Pro Tip: You can also tailor your bouquet based on the recipient’s star sign, birth month flower, or personality.
Which colours are appropriate for each occasion?
Colour plays a big role in emotional tone, and you should always consider the recipient’s favourite colour or cultural significance when selecting your bouquet. Here are some of our favourite palettes.
Red – Love, romance (Anniversaries, Valentine’s)
White – Peace, sympathy (Funerals, memorials)
Pink – Joy, admiration (Birthdays, new babies)
