Giving flowers to each other is one of the most beautiful and ancient traditions, and the ability to present them is a great art. In order to master it, you need to master their language, learn how to design bouquets, investing a special meaning in them.
Flower etiquette - general rules
The story of the etiquette of flowers is beautiful and touching. In ancient times, eastern women were deprived of the right to express their feelings openly, therefore they used hidden signs to transmit love messages. Each flower was assigned a symbolic meaning. In the XVI century, the Europeans successfully adopted the secret communication method, and flower etiquette was formed on its basis.
Etiquette was influenced by different cultures, and therefore in each country acquired its own national characteristics. So, in Russia there is still a belief that the number of flowers in a bouquet must obey the rule "odd to a dozen." According to superstition, an even number not exceeding 12 pieces is brought only to mourning ceremonies, and can bring misfortune to a living person. But in the USA and some European countries the opposite is true: an even number is considered lucky.
However, there are general rules for flower etiquette. Flowers are always chosen depending on the occasion, personal preferences, age category and gender of the person being gifted.
How to give flowers
When buying an armful of roses or tulips, make sure that they are wrapped in a beautiful and reliable wrapper. This prudence will protect the contents from damage, early withering and spilling.
Floral etiquette prescribes to present a bouquet unpacked with inflorescences up. In this case, the stems are first held in the left hand, to shake the right hand with the mistress of the house or the hero of the occasion, and then hand it to the flower. The presentation process is accompanied by welcome words, congratulations, good wishes and a gentle, polite bow.
If the yard is winter, you should not deploy the bouquet immediately. First let it warm up and stand in water with packaging in the room until the temperature of the plants aligns with the temperature in the room. Such an act does not contradict etiquette; it will allow a gift to stand longer.
Flowers for women
The fair sex is always with awe of the flowers, when they are selected with taste and love, are presented in accordance with floral etiquette. The most pleasant experience in women is left by original compositions in which attention and an individual approach are guessed.
Particularly elegant are the floral arrangements of the same color, which create a festive mood and can tell about the feelings of the donor. So, a man in love can confess his love by sending his beloved several scarlet, burgundy or bright orange roses, and express warm feelings, gratitude and respect with the help of pink or white.
According to etiquette, chrysanthemums are usually presented as a sign of friendship, and yellow or pink carnations are chosen to congratulate the lady on a significant event. And the older she is, the larger the specimens are selected.
What flowers give women
- But what is good for an elderly woman is not always acceptable for a young person. Etiquette says that a young girl should be presented with fresh pink buds or barely blossoming roses, tulips, violets, symbolizing tenderness and purity, and for an adult woman - already opened specimens.
- Beloved grandmother will like lush bouquets tied with bright silk ribbons. An alternative will be successful combinations of wildflowers that look very picturesque.
- Wanting to please dear mother, you need to try to remember or guess her ideas about the perfect bouquet. Make an unforgettable composition in accordance with its taste. A similar approach is shown with respect to a friend, sister or work colleague, but taking into account the subtleties of floral etiquette. Pick up light monochrome options, gracefully decorating them with accessories to match.
- Each loving spouse approximately guesses what his missus dreams of. Much depends on what he wants to convey to his soulmate. So, in accordance with floral etiquette, roses of red tones symbolize love and passion, and purple and blue - fidelity, which is why it is worth giving them to your wife.
How often to give a girl flowers
All women like it when men shower them with roses, tulips, lilies or orchids, especially during courtship. But not all suitors can do it. However, there are days when they simply must do this:
- first date;
- birthday;
- March 8;
- The 14th of February.
What flowers give men
According to floral etiquette, in order to properly present flowers to representatives of the stronger sex, you need to choose the largest specimens of the same shade on long sturdy stems. For example, if these are carnations, then they should only be red or white. In especially solemn situations, you can give several roses of noble shades, as well as peonies, hyacinths, chrysanthemums. As for the size and design of flower arrangements, they must be strict and voluminous, you can not give miniature bouquets.
According to etiquette, a man is supposed to give flowers when there is a serious reason: anniversary, birthday, celebration of a significant event or some important date. At other times, flower surprises are made as a sign of gratitude or respect, for example, when they want to visit a friend's doctor or teacher.
A special case
A bouquet for a special occasion is compiled on the basis of considerations of its relevance in each specific situation.
Birthday flowers
When planning to celebrate an anniversary or birthday, consider, first of all, the individual taste of the hero of the occasion. If you can’t find out information about his preferences, be guided by the rules of floral etiquette. Give not too pretentious men a strict bouquet without additional decor elements. And leave luxurious bright compositions from gerberas, orchids and lilies in expensive packaging for fastidious ladies.
Flowers on
A separate topic is the preparation of a festive floral arrangement for the bride and groom. It is important to try here so that she matches the personal taste of the bride, combined in style and tone with her wedding dress, hairstyle and makeup. Avoid large gloomy specimens. If there are thorns or other catching elements on the stems, remove them so that they do not harm anyone.
How to give flowers to an actor in
If the bouquet is intended for a beloved artist, singer or other public person, whose work does not leave you indifferent, rely on your financial capabilities and the florist’s imagination. Take into account the specifics of activity and personal preferences. Thus, modest floral arrangements with anemones and matrikarii are suitable for folk song performers, and rare exotic specimens (orchids, lilies) are suitable for opera singers. Etiquette allows you to hand them right on stage at the end of the performance or send them to the dressing room.
To foreign guests
Flower etiquette prescribes giving roses, carnations or tulips grown in greenhouses, and not on open ground, to participants in foreign delegations. It is advisable to take an interest in the peculiarities of the culture of the country from which the guest arrived, and take this nuance into account when drawing up a flower composition. Neglect in this matter may spoil further relations. So, white flowers in the East are associated with mourning, and carnations in France symbolize failure.
At an official event
Presenting the bouquet to public figures and officials requires strict adherence to protocol and etiquette. Gentle-colorful floral arrangements are suitable, in which there are neutral light shades: pink, light yellow, pale lilac, light green and cream. Red gamma combined with juicy greens is allowed. The shape of the bouquet should be round, the aroma should be subtle.
First of september
The first day of study requires careful and lengthy preparation. One of the important attributes of the student on this day is the classic roses, gerberas, lilies or asters for the class teacher. Keep in mind that your child will carry them for several hours, so choose options that exclude the possibility of spoiling his holiday outfit.
In hospital
Caring for a sick acquaintance can be expressed in different ways. One of the easiest ways is to present a bouquet with fruits or sweets. When going to the hospital or guests, adhere to two rules:
- choose floral arrangements with a mild aroma;
- a gift should not take up much space.
At the cemetery
When choosing a bouquet for mourning ceremonies, remember that it expresses your grief over dead people. In this case, roses, dahlias and gladioli of dark and restrained tones, as well as white calla lilies, carnations and chrysanthemums, are appropriate. The presentation process is accompanied by condolences and words of support.
Potted flowers and indoor plants
One of the few holidays where decorative and flowering potted plants will be appropriate is the anniversary. Such a gift will leave a good memory of the donor and deserves a place of honor along with the other bouquets. However, keep in mind that the hero of the day or members of his family should have a minimal understanding of and a tendency to care for houseplants.
Of course, giving floral gifts to relatives and loved ones is pleasant and very noble, but receiving them in return is much more pleasant. However, here, flower etiquette dictates to obey certain rules, which are worth studying carefully.
Let the moody planetsBe silent in the distance
You are beautiful and recognized
If the asters are in the hand.
If asters are donated
Kohl in the hands of beauty -
All bugs fixed
Fingers of a finger.
***
You take these asters!
Suddenly you will see my passionate gaze
And you will understand that I am miserable
And burn with love!
The stars of your eyes are like asters!
I have long been in their power.
Make it clear that it’s not in vain
This heat burns in the blood!
These asters are my gift
Maybe not very bright!
My kiss will be hot
And melt the ice in my heart!
Be love and hope
Be with me the most tender.
Ocean of love boundless
You and I will be overwhelmed!

Flowers as a gift to a woman
Such is their purpose
And her beauty will be bordered, crowned
The only and correct solution.
When a woman is given flowers
Her joy has no limits
In the fragile color of vibrant beauty.
It's that simple. And you have to do that.
In the scent of fragrant roses
Ile in a wreath of wildflowers
She will sail away to the kingdom of dreams
In the thoughts of light and unearthly.
Depart, rest your soul
Life is hard and complicated sometimes
And it happens that sometimes
Tears are pouring from female eyes.
So give her flowers to you -
The feast of life, even though it’s small,
Push away, hand away
A flurry of flames.

Very gentle, moody,
It requires a lot of attention.

For breach of etiquette
I'm ready to take reproaches.
I heartily give you this
A basket full of flowers.
