Giving flowers is a great way to show you care. It can be hard to choose because there are so many options. The trick is to pick flowers in your friend’s favourite colour. It makes your gift special and meaningful. Follow these tips to pick the right colour and flowers your friend likes.
Determine Their Favorite Color
Before you go shopping, think about what colours your friend or family member likes the most. Some colours, like red for passion, pink for being girly, and yellow for happiness, are easy choices. But you can also think of other colours that match their personality.
If you’re not sure, you can ask people who know them well, like friends or family. If you still don’t know, you can choose white or light colours because they always look nice. The important thing is to show that you thought carefully about picking a colour they would like.
Consider Flower Meanings
In addition to being visually pleasing, many blooms also carry symbolic meanings. Use this to choose flowers that communicate the right sentiment. For example, red roses always say, “I love you,” while sunflowers convey adoration and Daisy’s innocence or purity. Do some research beforehand so the flowers speak for you.
Think Beyond Flowers
While fresh florist designed flowers are always a superb choice, also consider alternatives:
- Plants: Orchids, succulents, bonsai trees or any live plant in their colour
- Fruit: Bright oranges, reds, yellows, or purples

- Gift baskets: Fill with their favourite coloured treats and trinkets
- Balloons: Pick their favourite colour and add a fun bouquet
