Head to the Shops

If someone in your life is going through a tough time, a small gift can be a thoughtful way to show your support. Gifting a bouquet of flowers is a beautiful way to brighten someone's day. While many floral shops sell bouquets advertised as sympathy flowers, you'll want to carefully choose flowers.

Since not all flowers are the ideal choice for any occasion, you'll need to consider the following tips to narrow down the bouquets available.

Calming Colors 

As you look at different bouquets of flowers for sale, it's wise to consider the mood and meaning different colors convey. Deep red and pink are often associated with romance and affection. At the same time, bright yellow flowers could be ideal for expressing congratulations.

If you want to gift sympathy flowers that convey care and support to someone, you'll enjoy choosing calming colors. Blue, green, and other colors found in nature are calming choices that can look beautiful included in a bouquet. In fact, navy blue is the world's most soothing color. Although finding flowers that include these colors can be limited at a floral shop, they can convey a lot more meaning to someone that needs comforting.

Ease of Care

Before picking up any bouquet of flowers, you'll need to ask the florist about the care involved. When someone is going through a challenging period in their life, it's common to not have the energy available to expend on a lot of their household chores.

Finding flowers that are as easy to care for as possible is a good idea, replacing water or sprinkling a packet of fertilizer into the vase. Asking questions about the care of different flowers and how long they'll be in bloom can ensure the bouquet is the right option for the recipient.

Delivery Option

Ask the floral shop about their delivery options for bouquets. You'll either want to pick it up and drop it off when your friend is available or schedule delivery. You don't want your friend to worry about being available for pick up or delivery, check how flexible the scheduling can be for delivery services and when you can expect the flowers to arrive.

Before you choose any bouquet of flowers, you want to take care to choose the right flowers. By knowing what to expect with all the options of bouquets, you can show your friend you care with flowers that are calming and a beautiful gesture.
