When to Give Flower Bouquets as Gifts

Flowers represent a thoughtful way to celebrate any significant event and convey a variety of sentiments. The language of flowers evolved as a way of expressing emotions without having to utter the words. The practice began in Turkey in the 18th century where it was used in the Courts of Constantinople. The tradition quickly spread throughout Europe. By the middle of the 19th century, the concept of Floriography spread to America. By the Victorian Era, the use of Floriography to convey emotional sentiments had become a craze in both England and the United States. Lovers used it as a way to express feelings that no one would dare to utter. There is no better way to communicate your heartfelt sentiments than with flowers.

Changing Seasons and Corresponding Holidays.

Spring
The weather in Northern Illinois can be unpredictable and it’s not unusual for the calendar and the weather situation outside to feel like two opposing forces. Winter weather often drags on into late spring so flower bouquets that are packed with traditional Spring flowers in traditional spring-time colors will cheer any recipient up while filling indoor spaces with the warmth of spring.

Summer
Summer is the time of year when everything comes to life but the heat and high humidity can make it challenging to spend a lot of time outside. The presence of bold and colorful spring flower bouquets in indoor spaces allows us to enjoy the beauty of summer flowers without having to endure the discomfort of outdoor conditions.

Fall
Fall bouquets can capture the beauty of the fall harvest through color and texture. During the month of October, the warmth and earthiness of autumnal hues and flowers can create a cozy feeling indoors when cooler outside temperatures remind us that the fall harvest represents the end of the growing season and the approach of frigid winter temperatures.

Winter
After Thanksgiving, we gear up for Christmas, and winter flower bouquets can capture the spirit of the holidays with quintessential seasonal flowers, including Poinsettias, red and white carnations and roses, and other seasonal cut flowers. The addition of evergreen and holly branches enhance the festive feeling and winter holiday bouquets will fill indoor spaces with the spirit of the season. Blue and white are the classic colors of Hanukkah, so bouquets filled with blue and white flowers with silver accents are sure to capture the spirit of the Festival of Lights.
