When you live far away from your closest friends and family members, one way to say 'happy birthday' is to send a bouquet of birthday flowers. Even if you cannot be there to celebrate the special day with your best friend or closest sister, you can let her know that you are thinking about her, and wishing the best for the upcoming year. Thanks to the websites of large floral retailers and the digital reach of local florists, it is easy to order flowers online or over the phone. Even if you are sending the flowers thousands of miles away, you can be sure that they are the freshest, prettiest blooms available.
Flowers that celebrate birthdays should be joyful and happy. Look for types of flowers that make you feel good, and they will likely make the recipient feel good too. Consider carnations, which come in virtually any color you want. A bunch of pale yellow carnations or bright purple carnations can make up a beautiful bouquet on their own, or look lovely paired with other flowers. Daisies are also a good idea. These white flowers often have a bright yellow middle, which makes them look sunny and warm. Try combining the carnations and the daisies for a really bright basket or vase of birthday flowers.
Talking to a florist about your options is a great way to figure out what is in season and abundant. Your florist might also make recommendations that you would not have thought of. For example, snapdragons are a fun and colorful way to give some cheer to a birthday bouquet. Snapdragons are tall, colorful stems that look best in pink, white, or purple. Collect a bunch of snapdragons and pair them with some daisies. If you want more color, go with a Gerber daisy that comes in a pink or orange shade. Your bouquet will look like spring. If your special friend's birthday falls in the autumn, consider a bunch of sunflowers or geraniums in warm colors like yellow and gold.
Daffodils are great flowers to celebrate a birthday. They are elegant and lean, and they can bring a little bit of an outdoor garden indoors. Iris also makes a bold and beautiful statement, and you can choose iris in colors that include purple, white, yellow, and blue. Include some greenery with your bouquet, including ferns and shiny green plants. The size of your bouquet probably does not matter. You can send a dozen roses or a bunch of flowers. Your florist can help you figure out how many flowers will work for your budget and your vase. Sometimes, less is more, especially if you want your presentation to look elegant and simple.
Sending birthday flowers will show your friends that even though miles separate you, you have not forgotten them. Make sure all the special people in your life receive a bouquet of love and joy on their birthdays. Say happy birthday and best wishes with a colorful collection of stems and blooms that express your thoughts and hopes.
