There are many occasions where flowers are the perfect gift. But what if the occasion you’re celebrating doesn’t fall within a category where flowers are expected?
What are some common flower-giving holidays? Valentine’s Day, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, even Admin Day – but what about other celebrations? How do you choose the right blooms for any occasion? We’ll explore the common occasions and those often forgotten to give you an idea of how to choose the best blooms for each special day!
Looking for an occasion to give flowers? You don’t need one! At Forest of Flowers, we create arrangements for any occasion and deliver them fresh daily. Our designers use the freshest of flowers bringing joy to the occasion. Shop online for flowers delivered same-day or visit us in store at one of our locations across Southern Ontario.
While we believe that all occasions should be accompanied by beautiful flowers, sometimes you just need that perfect bouquet to celebrate the moment. When it comes to flowers and occasions, the colour of the arrangement can set the entire mood.
If you’re looking for sympathy flowers, flowers for a celebration of life or a funeral, we have the arrangements to tell someone you’re thinking about them. We recommend white funeral flowers as they represent peace, humility and calmness. Our Purity arrangement consists of two dozen white roses that are complemented by lush foliage and babies breath, an excellent choice to show someone you care.
Consider vibrant colours like red or pink for your Valentine’s flowers. These colours represent energy and passion and are sure to bring a smile to your loved one’s face. We recommend our “Something Extra Special” bouquet, which contains stargazer lilies nestled in a bed of 24 velvety roses, soft baby’s-breath and lush greens. Show the ones you love, you care with Valentine’s Day flowers – make their day a little more special.
Say “Happy Birthday” with a bright and cheerful arrangement with several happy colours like yellow, orange, purple, and pink. We recommend our “One Dozen Coloured Roses” or “Happy Spring” for Happy Birthday flowers — an overflowing arrangement of vibrant and colourful flowers. Whether it’s for a parent, partner, a friend or any other loved one, Birthday bouquets are the perfect way to celebrate someone’s special day.
Happy Retirement flowers are an excellent choice to give to a family member, friend or coworker that is heading onto their next adventure! After years of hard work, tell them you wish them well with the best retirement flowers.
Now that we’ve gone through some of the more common holidays that celebrate blooms, let’s take a look at some occasions that maybe don’t receive the attention they deserve.
There are few occasions in someone’s life more exciting than getting a new job or even advancing further in their career. Many of us spend years of our lives trying to achieve career goals, so receiving flowers on a special occasion like this can make it unforgettable.
Flowers appropriate for occasions like this could be roses, seasonal flowers, or a potted plant perfect for the office!
Regardless of if this is the first time moving out or moving into an upgrade, it’s a huge deal to make a transition into a new space. Entering a new home means new beginnings, new opportunities, new dreams, and new memories; why not commemorate such an epic occasion with some stunning blooms?
Alstroemeria, roses, and daisies are excellent options!
Flowers aren’t just for romantic relationships. They can also be a thoughtful gesture for friends going through a hard time, offering a simple but meaningful way to show you care and are there for them. This doesn’t have to look like a romantic gesture; instead, you can choose their favourite blooms or opt for some common sympathy options (and, ideally, some teddies and chocolates, too). A thoughtful gesture goes a long way.
Some great picks here include lilies, carnations, or even brightly coloured roses.
Everyone goes through a hard time. It’s never easy watching someone you care about feeling overwhelmed, especially if you feel helpless. While offering flowers won’t erase the issue, they can reassure someone you love that you’re there for them.
White lilies, roses, hydrangeas, and carnations can be wonderful choices.
Usually, most of the appreciation you get when finishing exams or difficult term comes in the form of grades. However, that doesn’t mean the accomplishment should be overlooked. Academics are no joke, and many of us spend a good period of our lives studying in order to improve our lives. Why not celebrate that with a beautiful, floral gift?
Sunflowers, gerberas, and carnations can work nicely together, but you can never be let down by roses!
