Sending flowers is a timeless gesture that can brighten someone's day, celebrate a special occasion, or offer comfort in difficult times. However, understanding the etiquette surrounding flower giving can ensure your gift is received in the spirit it was intended. Whether you’re sending a beautiful bouquet across the Gold Coast or Brisbane, here are some essential do's and do not's to keep in mind.
The Do's
-
Do Consider the Occasion
Different occasions call for different types of flowers. For birthdays, vibrant and cheerful blooms like sunflowers or mixed arrangements are ideal. For sympathy, softer colors and more subdued flowers like lilies or roses can convey your condolences. Understanding the occasion will help you choose the most appropriate floral arrangement. The Florist Team at The Bloom Club can help you pick the most appropriate colour scheme if you need guidance. -
Do Know the Recipient’s Preferences
If you know the recipient well, consider their favorite flowers or colors. Some people may have allergies or simply dislike certain flowers. A little research can go a long way in ensuring your gift is appreciated and the flowers are well received. -
Do Choose a Reliable Florist
When sending flowers, especially across regions like the Gold Coast and Brisbane, it’s essential to select a reputable florist. It's also important to look for an actual florist, with many re-sellers or order gatherers out there. Look for one with positive reviews and a track record of delivering fresh, beautiful arrangements on time. The Bloom Club offers a range of stunning bouquets and reliable delivery options across the Gold Coast & Brisbane Suburbs. -
Do Include a Personal Note
Adding a handwritten note or card can make your floral gift even more special. A few heartfelt words can express your sentiments and make the recipient feel cherished. You can purchase a Greeting Card with The Bloom Club and we'll happily include a handwritten note. -
Do Consider Delivery Timing
Timing can be crucial when sending flowers. For occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, aim to have the flowers delivered early in the day. For sympathy flowers, it’s best to send them as soon as possible after learning of the loss. The Bloom Club offers convenient same day flower delivery Monday to Sunday for Gold Coast Suburbs & Monday to Friday for Brisbane & Logan Suburbs
The Do nots
-
Don’t Overlook Cultural Sensitivities
Flowers can carry different meanings in various cultures. For example, in some cultures, red roses symbolise love, while in others, they may represent mourning. Be mindful of these meanings to ensure your gesture is received positively. -
Don’t Send Flowers Without Considering the Recipient’s Space
Before sending a large arrangement, consider whether the recipient has space for it in their home or office. If they live in a small apartment, a smaller bouquet may be more suitable. It's also important to ensure they're going to be at home! -
Don’t Forget to Check the Weather
In areas like the Gold Coast and Brisbane, weather conditions can affect flower delivery. Wet weather, although rare on the Gold Coast & Brisbane can cause the wrapping to be impacted, its always best to ensure that there's no large storms about! -
Don’t Rely Solely on Online Images
While us online florists often showcase beautiful arrangements, what you see may not always reflect what you get. Our images are thematic, and aren't what you should expect in reality. Compared to "en-masse" florists who only buy the same flowers year around (see imported flowers) our bouquets vary based on Market Availability, and therefore our flowers will look a little different each time! -
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Planning is key when sending flowers. Last-minute orders can lead to limited selection and rushed deliveries, which may affect the quality of the arrangement. Always order ahead to ensure the best outcome. However, if you are a last minute person, we're here for you anyway, with quick, same day flower delivery.
