Birthday
HydrangeasThe best bouquet is one that matches a person’s character and taste. One woman will love soft peonies, another elegant callas, a third an armful of sunflowers. Here is how to find out her favourite flowers without spoiling the surprise, how to match a bouquet to her personality — and a light-hearted “test” of what a favourite flower might say about someone.
How to find out which flowers she loves
- Notice the details. Prints on clothes, cards, phone wallpaper, flowers at home — all are clues.
- Remember her reactions. Which bouquets she photographed, which flower beds she stopped at, what she admired in a florist’s window.
- Ask people close to her. A friend, sister or mother almost certainly knows.
- Ask casually. For example, while talking about someone else’s wedding or holiday photos.
- Find out what she dislikes. Strong scents like lilies or hyacinths give some people headaches, and some have pollen allergies.
Matching the style to her character
If you don’t know her favourite, go by her style. Romantic souls love lush pastel bouquets of peonies, garden roses and lisianthus. A bright, bold woman will enjoy vivid gerberas, tulips and sunflowers. A minimalist will appreciate a simple single-variety bouquet of roses or a few orchids. A calm, practical person will like long-lasting chrysanthemums and daisies. When in doubt, go for soft classics: roses, lisianthus and a little greenery.
A playful test: what her favourite flower says
Science has not confirmed any link between favourite flowers and personality, but it makes a fun party game. So, if she loves…
Daisies
Open, sincere and easy-going. She values simple joys, comfort and reliability.
Roses
Feminine, determined and knows what she wants. She loves beautiful gestures and classics. Choose roses in her favourite shade in our rose delivery in Kyiv section.
Orchids
Refined and a little mysterious; she can’t stand the ordinary and will appreciate an unusual gift and good taste.
Lily of the valley
Honest, responsible and proud. Her affection has to be earned, but she is deeply loyal.
Lilies
Bright, confident and sociable — the queen of the party.
Gerberas
She seems serious and reserved at first, but behind that is a cheerful optimist.
Tulips
Charismatic and independent; she gets on with everyone but takes her time to open up.
Violets
Romantic and sentimental, with an inner strength. See violets in bouquets.
Chrysanthemums
Serious, thoughtful and a perfectionist; reserved on the outside and very loyal inside.
