If you choose a bouquet of single flowers, always choose an odd number
If you decide to give a bouquet, it is assumed that the number of flowers should be odd. However, this has nothing to do with any superstitions. It’s just about aesthetics. A bouquet with an odd number will look better. It is also worth remembering that in some environments an even number of flowers is associated with funeral ceremonies, but this rule does not apply to a composition made of a large number of flowers (several dozen). Of course, the exception are flowers given due to the jubilee – if you are giving flowers on the occasion of a birthday or anniversary, you do not have to follow this rule.
What flowers to choose for a bouquet?
If you are asking yourself – what flowers to choose, we come to help.
In the past, importance was attached to the rules and symbolism associated with assigning meaning to individual colors and species. Today, few people know about it. For people for whom it is important, there are certain rules that are worth knowing so as not to make a mistake that someone might misinterpret.
Red flowers symbolize passionate feelings, it is the color we focus on especially on Valentine’s Day. If you want to give a bouquet to an elderly person, it is better to bet on brighter colors.
It is also not appropriate to give chrysanthemums and callas – these are flowers associated with funerals. Tulips symbolize sympathy and affection, gerberas, freesias and anthuriums are a sign of respect. Carnations symbolize contentment, but remember that a multicolored bouquet of these flowers is a sign of refusal. Iris and lily are symbols of trust. When we want to apologize to someone, we can give a bouquet of poppies. Roses are the most symbolic. White means fidelity, pink – elegance and grace, yellow – jealousy or betrayaltea interest, and red – of course love.
For Valentine’s Day, give up giving yellow flowers.
The icing on the cake, or how to give and how to receive flowers
Before handing the bouquet, we hold it upside down so that it doesn’t wilt. Then, at the time of handing, of course, we turn it so that the flowers are up. Remember to remove the flowers from the paper or foil beforehand. We hold the bouquet in the left hand, then, after greeting, we transfer it to the right hand and give it.
If we are the recipient of a bouquet, remember to immediately put it in water and put it in a visible place. In this way, we show respect and show that we enjoy the gift.
