Q&A for How to Give Flowers

Check the weather. People often don't think about it, but the weather affects how long your flowers will last. If it's going to be very hot, for instance, some flowers won't do well at all, and you should take that into consideration when you're deciding on the flowers for your arrangement.

Think about the person you're giving the flowers to. Certain flowers give off a certain mood. For instance, someone who's really into goth might love an arrangement with dark red roses and black calla lilies, but that might be inappropriate for someone who really loves bright, cheerful colors.

Consider the occasion as well as cultural beliefs. Certain colors can represent different emotions in different cultures, so it can be helpful to do a little research before you send an arrangement. For instance, white represents death in some cultures, so some people may prefer to avoid white flowers at a funeral service, while others would prefer it.
