Five Tips for Ordering Birthday Flowers

Flowers are a lovely way to say happy birthday to a friend or family member. Any birthday girl or boy will be delighted to find a gorgeous arrangement on their doorstep on their special day. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing flowers for that special day.

Choose Your Style

You have as many choices as there are blooms when it comes to sending birthday flowers. Do you want to be upbeat? Send a vivid, colorful arrangement. Romantic minded individuals will love a grand bouquet of roses or even an arrangement of lush garden flowers, such as peonies. For someone with a fun, spontaneous personality, choose a bright arrangement paired with balloons or stuffed animals. Finally, for that classic timeless appeal choose a contemporary arrangement that is comprised of a few perfect orchids, lilies, or irises.

Birthday Flowers for Children?

Children are drawn to bright colors and delicious scents and what could be more appropriate than the gift of a floral arrangement? Flowers are colorful and smell wonderful, delighting the senses of children of all ages. What child wouldn't love that "grown up" feeling when the delivery man knocks on the door with a lovely arrangement just for them! A savvy florist can pair your arrangement with a stuffed toy or bright mug that will bring a child joy long after the flowers have faded, or you can choose a potted plant to give the child a lasting memento of their special day.

Happy Birthday Surprise

Nothing is more pleasing than a birthday surprise. Want to really surprise someone on their birthday? Order your flowers to be delivered the day before the big day. They won't be expecting anything when the doorbell rings and they are handed a beautiful floral arrangement. They can enjoy the flowers all day on their special day, rather than waiting half the day for delivery.

Getting the Most from Your Florist

Floral designers are well-versed in helping clients choose the right arrangements. Use their knowledge and talents to help design the absolutely perfect bouquet for that special birthday. An experienced florist can assist you in choosing flower types, colors, arrangement size and containers. If you have a small present to go with the arrangement, like a piece of jewelry or a scarf, your floral designer can find a clever way of including this gift with your arrangement. For example, a brooch can be pinned to a large-leaved piece of greenery and a scarf can be artfully tied around the neck of a vase.

Don't Forget the Message

Any florist can provide an enclosure card with a birthday theme, but remember that you can add a greeting card or other personalized message to your arrangement. Some florists have a stock of greeting cards in-house if you want to order over the phone, but you can also provide your own, hand-chosen card to be packaged with the bouquet for delivery on that special day.
