Birthday

 

• Classic bouquets (for friends and loved ones) - This includes both fresh flower bouquets and dried flowers or preserved flowers/. Both are suitable as birthday flowers, and both available at our store - feel free to browse through the various catalogues to find the perfect bouquet!)
• Gift baskets/hampers (for friends, colleagues, seniors or superiors/bosses)

 

A few factors to consider:
 

• The person's preferences - flower type, colour
• The person's schedule for that day (to time the perfect flower delivery!)
• What this girl means to you - different flowers convey different messages, and picking the right flower can do wonders in helping you convey the right message. Read more about the meaning of flowers.

 

You bet! Men enjoy receiving bouquets too! (Perhaps they're just too shy to ask, but if you know your man well, all we will say is - be brave and go for it)

Ways to make a birthday flower bouquet more suited for a guy:

• Pick out a flower that reflects a more masculine personality - blue, white, red
• Avoid pink or purple flowers
• Consider gift baskets or hampers that include more masculine items (cologne, champagne, chocolate)

 

There's nothing sweeter than a bouquet for your daughter on her special day, and we're positive that this will become her most treasured gift of the day!

Choosing flowers for a daughter is understandably an intricate task, and we're here to help you out.

Consider these 3 things:
1. Her favourite flowers
2. Her favourite colour
3. Her age


As a general rule of thumb, pink flowers will hardly go wrong. The ones readily available at our store are:

• Roses
• Gerberas
• Hydrangea
• Peony
• Tulips

   

First and foremost, always think of how to match the flower to the personality. But more specifically,

• If your receiver has a favourite flower/colour, it goes without saying to include that flower/colour in the bouquet
• Choose to add a plush toy eg. a pooh bear, eeyore, teddy bear with the bouquet of flowers.
• If you're unsure about his/her preferences, it helps to think of the message you want to convey, or the type of friendship you two have, and embody that in the form of flowers. You can refer to this article for more about the meanings of different flower types
  
  Alternatively, one can hardly go wrong with a bright, cheerful bouquet - choose outstanding colours like yellow, orange, and purple.

   

 

• Daisies - Gerbera daisies represent innocence and cheerfulness
• Lilies - Represent happiness and positivity
• Roses - Red for a partner, yellow for friends
• Carnations - Pink carnations signify gratitude (popular choice for mothers)
• Chrysanthemums - Red chrysanthemums represent 'sharing'

Most of the bouquets on our website have been specially curated to include the most popular blossoms for birthdays, hence you can be assured that choosing a pre-designed bouquet is almost fail-proof! For same-day deliveries, we do advice customers to pick from the readily available bouquets to ensure a smooth, seamless birthday delivery surprise. However, if you would like to customize a bouquet to suit your recipient's unique tastes, feel free to drop us an email or a call to enquire about it and to check for the flower availability.

 

Our best advice is to add on a gift such as a soft toy (eg. plush bear), wine, chocolates, balloons and send a card with your flowers - and take the time to write a sincere message, rather than just copy and paste a cliché poem or phrase.

Other ways you can spruce up the bouquet are to:

• Pick unique and unusual flowers - Dried flowers or Quirky bouquets (both are readily available at 24hrscityflorist - refer to our other catalogues for more designs)
• Pick unique combinations of flowers
• Present your flowers in a special way

 

 

• If you're celebrating the day with him/her, starting the day off with a surprise delivery is always great, and sets the mood up even better for when you guys meet later
• Alternatively, a surprise delivery right before the special day begin is a popular tactic too - it puts them in a great mood for the entire day, and more importantly, you're likely to be the person's mind the whole day too. :)
  
  Here at 24hrscityflorist.com we offer just-before-midnight delivery (9pm to 12am) time slot. This is a popular way for those who wish to catch the birthday person off guard and utterly surprised. Nevermind the timing, even if he/she is already asleep, believe us, the intrusion is worth the hassle - imagine receiving a birthday gift just before the stroke of mid night!
