Choosing the Perfect Birthday Bouquet
When a loved one's birthday rolls around, a big bouquet of flowers is a simple, beautiful, thoughtful way to wish them a happy birthday. It doesn't matter whether we’re male or female, young or old. We all love flowers. However, there is more to giving birthday flowers than simply going to the store, picking up the prettiest bouquet you see, and handing them to the recipient. Flowers are like cards. With a little thought put into the purchase of the card (or bouquet), you end up with a gift that means something special to the person, one that tells your loved one what they mean to you.
When choosing a birthday bouquet, take into consideration the personality of the person you are getting the arrangement for. Is she (or he) mellow and relaxed, someone that loves nature, or is she a bit more wild and daring, the kind of person that takes life by the horns and never lets go? Is she practical, thoughtful, loving, or maybe spontaneous, always smiling, somebody people would call the sunshine of life? You can't really peg a person with a few generic personality traits, but everybody has traits that are more dominant, the ones they are known for.

When buying flowers for your loved one, focus on the traits that define them, and have an arrangement created that represents that trait. For example, you are buying flowers for a friend who is calm and logical, who prefers reading to a day of sports. Her personality is probably somewhat soothing. A good arrangement would be a pastel flower bouquet, full of light colors and delicate flowers, with a color scheme that is, in itself, calming. On the flip side, your friend is spontaneous and energetic, the spice of life. A bouquet of bright-colored flowers, gerbera daisies perhaps, with deep green accents would showcase her personality perfectly.
To make it a little easier, here is a breakdown of colors and the feelings that come with them. Pastel color flowers (peaches, creams, light greens, and light yellows) have a nurturing feel. Red, pink, and purple flowers all spark feelings of romance, especially when they are in one arrangement. Deep colored flowers, particularly those in the red color family (think burgundy, dark pink, deep salmon, blood red, and dark purple) are a little more sensuous, something to be given as a birthday arrangement to somebody you are already in love with. Blues, some purples, and pale greens have a feeling of tranquility about them. Combine these in an arrangement for a person who loves the calm things of life. For a whimsical feel or a cheerful feel, go for a bouquet of bright oranges, yellows, pinks, blues, and reds. Colorful flowers bouquets are eye-catching and they instantly brighten up a room.
Of course, there are ways to make a birthday flower bouquet meaningful that don’t involve matching the flowers to the personality of the recipient. Matching the flowers to the birth month can be a fun gift as well. Each month has flower, usually one that comes in a variety of colors, which represents that month. So January is represented by carnations, February by violets, March by daffodils, and so on. These flowers each have their own special meaning. Here is an example of a bouquet designed for a person’s birth month, rather than the person. September’s flowers are asters and morning glories. Asters come in white, pink, red, and purple. So for a person born in September a colorful aster bouquet, accented with morning glory, would represent that month. Asters are a symbol of affection and elegance. September is only an example, however. Each month has its own flowers that have their own meaning. Creating a birthday bouquet out of the flowers of the month would just be a creative way of wishing a loved one happy birthday.
Creating a bouquet of flowers for a birthday gift can be just as much fun as buying a gift from the store, sometimes more. It requires thought and planning, but that's half the fun of buying a gift in the first place. There's nothing more enjoyable than giving a gift that's unique and perfectly designed for the recipient.
