How to choose the right birthday bouquet?
A birthday is the one occasion each year that belongs to just one person. The bouquet you choose is therefore more than decoration: it is a message. Over fifteen years, we have made thousands of birthday bouquets. Here is what really matters when choosing one.
Think about the recipient first, not the flowers
The most beautiful bouquet is not the one with the most flowers, but the one that feels right for its recipient. Before choosing colours and varieties, consider the person you are giving it to. Are they calm or lively? Classic or playful? Do they have a favourite colour, a favourite flower or a memory associated with flowers?
If you're not sure, that's okay — florist's choice bouquet means that we choose the most beautiful flowers available that day and arrange them in your chosen colour palette.
Colours say more than words
Every colour palette carries a message. Here is the simple guide we use in our workshop:
- Purple: creativity and luxury, for people who stand out.
- Red and fuchsia — passion and closeness; for partners rather than colleagues.
- Yellow and orange: joy and energy, a versatile birthday message.
- Pastels (pink, peach and lavender): gentleness and thoughtfulness, always a lovely choice.
- White and cream — elegance and respect; for seniors and formal occasions.
"A bouquet is not just a gift. It is a message that we do not know how to send with words."
— Nina, Nina & Valentin
