Birthday Bouquets

Bouquets of alstroemerias, freesias, tulips, lilies, peonies, and gerberas are ideal. For ladies of elegant age, choose a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums, orchids or dahlias. At the same time, there are many exquisite compositions made in light colors that are perfect for a gift to an older woman - mother, grandmother, aunt, employee, etc. Exquisite and luxurious bouquets of roses deserve special attention. Wildflowers, like small spherical bouquets, are not given to men, but gerberas, irises and hyacinths are very suitable for such special moments. Gladioli, tulips or chrysanthemums are good for such an occasion.

Men are usually given monochromatic flowers in deep, rich, dark shades - burgundy, deep red, lilac, blue, violet. To create men's birthday bouquets, flowers with long stems and large buds are used - gerberas, roses, gladioli, carnations, tulips, peonies. For example, a basket of fresh flowers in the form of a combination of orchids, spray roses, alstroemerias, eustomas and numerous greenery. Lush compositions of peonies or gerberas should be given to energetic ladies; calm shades are suitable for phlegmatic ones.

Birthday is a very personal holiday.On this day, each of us expects compliments and congratulations, attention and gifts. Beautiful bouquets for a birthday can consist of bush flowers or large buds, the number of which corresponds to the age of the “newborn”. For example, for a fiftieth anniversary they usually give a bouquet of 51 roses in burgundy (for men), scarlet, orange and pink (for women).

What should you do first to extend the life of a bouquet of flowers? Perhaps these rules will help with this:

1. If the gift was made in the cold season, before putting the bouquet in water, unwrap it and let it rest at room temperature.
2. Do not place flowers near a heat source.
3. Ideally, keep it in a slightly cool, ventilated room.
4. Choose a vase of such a shape and size that the stems are half to two-thirds submerged in water. 
5. An aspirin tablet or sugar will prolong the life of roses.

If these are spring flowers (tulips, hyacinths) - an even cut at an angle of 90%.
