Which Flowers should you buy for Birthdays
It happens every year on the same day and can’t be rescheduled... It’s a birthday! For some people, they are something to try and avoid, for others it’s a time for celebration. Regardless of the birthday boy or girl’s preference, sending flowers are a fantastic way to show a friend or family member how happy you are to help commemorate another year of their life.
Girlfriend’s Birthday
You can’t go past Roses! These gorgeous flowers are the symbol of love and will win you endless brownie points. It doesn’t matter how they are presented, in a box or bouquet, they definitely will make a statement and have people asking her for days, “Who are those gorgeous roses from? You’re so lucky!”
Mother’s Birthday
Lilies are an exceptionally elegant flower and perfect for any Mother. Not only do they come in a stunning array of pinks, purples, whites, oranges and yellows, but they light up a room with their big open blooms and contrasting green stems.
Friend’s Birthday
When helping a friend celebrate their birthday, you can go pretty crazy with your choice of flowers. Bright and sunny gerberas pack a punch in pinks, purples, yellows, reds, oranges and various pastel shades. They look fantastic presented in a contrasting box with a fun balloon attached.
Work Colleague’s Birthday
When you’re in charge of buying flowers for a work mate who’s having a birthday, it’s best to play it safe, that is of course unless you know them really well. Tulips are a classy option and come in a great range of colour including reds, yellows, whites, purples, pinks and oranges. These gorgeous flowers can look great in a bouquet or box and for a personal touch, get the team to sign a card with their birthday wishes.
Daughter’s Birthday
Young or old, everyone loves to get flowers for their birthday! For your daughter’s birthday, a happy bright flower like the daisy is fantastic. Not only do they represent innocence and purity, but also the thought of new beginnings. And when you think about it, every birthday is recognising a new beginning. The pretty and delicate daisy comes in a wide range of colour variations like pinks, purples, yellows and whites.
The great thing about sending birthday flowers is that they can be delivered to loved ones all over the world. There’s nothing better than opening the front door on your birthday and receiving a beautiful bunch of flowers from someone who lives a long way away, or from just around the corner.

Planning Your Wedding Date
Without a date the rest of your wedding planning can be an impossible task. But choosing a wedding date can be an equally impossible and difficult undertaking. Your choice of date will invariably depend on a number of factors.
Wedding Planning Time Setting a date within one month, will not leave much time (if any) to plan a big wedding, in fact it may barely leave you enough time to plan a small one! Your first consideration should be to how much time you think you will need for your wedding planning and to put together the wedding of your dreams. Are the organized type who knows exactly what they want and how to get it? Or are the type who needs time to deliberate and decide on every detail? As a guide the average time between engagements and wedding day is 12 - 18 months.
Commitments Check your diary and make sure your choice of date doesn’t conflict with any other important day. You may want to check for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations or any other event which may conflict with your wedding. It is also a good idea to discuss any potential dates with close family and friends.
Holidays Whilst holidays can be a good time to have a wedding, they are also times when people will travel to be with family and loved ones or will take a much needed vacation at that particular time. It may be asking a lot to invite them to forgo this to attend your wedding. Another aspect about weddings during holiday dates is that you may find it difficult to book vendors, locations and other services. Factor into your wedding planning florists are usually very busy around Valentines Day and hotels may be fully booked at Christmas.
Weekend or Weekday Saturdays are the most popular day of the week to get married, which means you will be competing with every other couple in the area for a Saturday date. Weekdays can be a good choice as they are often cheaper days to book with venues and you are more likely to get a date within your month of choice. If you want a weekend date then be prepared to have to wait a year or more for one that is available.
Wedding Day Expense As mentioned above, vendors will put a premium on popular wedding days, particularly those in the wedding high season - May to September. A date in fall or early spring can be a cheaper option and you may get a better deal than having a date in the summer.
