Flowers - a Unique Gift For Christmas by:Melanie Smith
Christmas is one of the most colorful festivities around the world
. It is generally known for warm greetings, presents, and flowers. Christmas exudes joy with family commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. On this season, happiness is shared by all members of the family, close by and distant friends, and loved-ones. Gifts were traditionally exchanged. Giving bouquets with colorful flowers would sometimes convey heartfelt greetings than exclusive gifts. However, the greatest challenge would be in choosing the appropriate flower which would speak what your heart truly feels
Giving Christmas flowers would certainly be one of the most thoughtful ways to convey love and affection. Though most flowers blooms only during spring, there is also a wide selection of flowers that specifically bloom during winter time. Thus, giving flowers wouldn't be much of a dilemma anymore. Flowers reflect the stages of human life. Every blossom indicates a start of a new life and its wilting loss. It represents for peace, sincerity, thoughtfulness, and warm affection. Most popular ones sent as gifts on Christmas are roses, Ivy, and Lilly. Rather than getting it from a flower shop or a florist, try preparing one for yourself for your loved ones to make it more personal. This article offers tips on sending flowers on Christmas, what colors and arrangements are recommended.
First and foremost, make a list of recipients whom you would want to send flowers. This is important to determine your budget and how much flowers and accessories you would have to purchase.
In choosing flowers, it is advisable to pick the bright colored ones since it is sure to capture immediate attention of the recipient. Flowers in orange, yellow, red, white, and purple is definitely a stand out. You can also mix colors together to create a cheerful look. However, if the recipient likes a certain flower in particular or favors a specific color, then it is best to go after her choice.
Choose flower arrangements according to the nature of the recipient. Age and gender should be taken into consideration. For instance, if the recipient is a male friend, then don't load it up with pink ribbons or girlish ornaments.
For middle aged or elderly, a classic arrangement would be appropriate to bring out a festive spirit.
For young ones, try to use colorful flowers of every kind and blend in the colors together with unique and modern arrangement.
For children, since they are not much particular in flowers especially boys, it can be made interesting to pick out a nice them - preferably with cartoon character on it- and load it with edible fruits, small toys or action figures, or sweet treats that they will enjoy. Since you will be adding a fair amount of touch-up, a bouquet might not be a good idea. Use a small flower basket with floral foam where you can stick the flowers into, and make a little space to put the candies, or toys in it.
For men, adding small models of his favorite game is a nice touch-up. If he plays tennis, add small cute tennis ball models and stick them on the bouquet.
Searching online a month in advance to check for availability of flowers and suggested designs during Christmas season is a smart way to spare you from stress and hassles. Place your order earlier and have them delivered right through your doorstep at least 2 days before Christmas to avoid wilting and give you enough time to work on them. Buy your accessories a week earlier to avoid rush buying. Lots of flowers would be available during winter season, hence make sure to choose the best combination. All it takes is wild imagination and creativity and you're sure to go!
