There are so many ways to let someone know that you are thinking about them but none are quite as effective as giving fresh bouquets of flowers. Flowers have been used for centuries to convey messages and continue to be a much loved gift today. http://www.flowersonoxford.com.au

1. There is no Better Gift than Fresh Bouquets
As far as gifts go, there is nothing quite as special as a bunch of flowers to let someone
know that you are thinking about them. Flowers are gorgeous and completely frivolous and
therein lays their charm. We all have memories of Christmases and birthdays where we
unwrapped very practical gifts like socks, etc. and, whilst useful, these gifts did not really
make you feel special – there is something inordinately plain about a practical gift. Flowers,
on the other hand, really brighten up someone’s day. Consider the commotion at the office
when a bouquet of flowers arrives – almost every lady will be hoping it is for her.
Choosing the right bouquet is very much the most difficult part of sending flowers. In
Victorian times, each flower and colour were assigned various meanings and so you could
send a very distinct message through your choice of flowers. These days, these meanings
are not as widely used anymore but generally red flowers signify love, pink signify affection
and white signify purity. The choice of the flowers itself is largely left to the imagination of
the sender though. Traditionally, roses are the flower of choice for those in love but the
choice really does depend on what the person who is receiving the bouquet likes. In fact,
this consideration should trounce all others when it comes to choosing the flowers. You
could start by going into any florist Brisbane and giving them an idea of the recipient’s
favourite flowers and work from there.
It is best, of course, to put some thought into the bouquet that you will be sending. You
might want to consider what the weather is going to be like – it can seriously influence the
longevity of the bouquet. Choosing Brisbane flowers or flowers that are native to Australia
can be the way to go, especially in the heat of the Aussie summer. It must be remembered
that flowers that are imported may not stand up to the heat as well and so may not last as
long. This may seem like an overly practical way to look at things but, when it comes to
choosing flowers, you need to be a little practical.
The last tip when it comes to sending someone flowers is that you should always set it up in
advance – give the florist three to four days’ notice when it is not a busy time for them and
a week or more when it is Valentine’s Day, etc. The last thing you want is to get there and
find that they are too busy to help you.
