How much can you give flowers? Bouquet of flowers for Birthday

Going on a date to a loved one or on a birthday to a friend, we begin to think nervously about how to choose the right flowers as a gift. But it's true, a bouquet is not just some flowers in a bright wrapper. Bouquet is a complex language, with which you can tell the gifted about your feelings. About how to give flowers and how many, we'll talk further.

Why do not even an even number of flowers give a living

So, you want to pick up a bouquet for someone. When choosing it, remember the tradition that existed in Russia for a long time - not to give an even number of flowers alive.

It, incidentally, is associated with pre-Christian beliefs, in which even numbers denote evil and death (by the way, this is what is meant in the story about trouble that does not come alone). This means that the pair number of flowers in a bouquet can be misinterpreted by hypochondriacs or their impressionable relatives.

However, reflections on how much flowers can be given, lose their relevance in the case of large bouquets. If the colors are more than 11, then the even or odd number does not matter.

You go on a first date

Particular attention must be paid when choosing a bouquet for the first date. He should be neutral and restrained, but it should be remembered that young girls are usually given flowers of tender color: pink, beige, lemon, etc. Do not give white flowers - they are too solemn. Chrysanthemums and asters of any color are also not suitable for the first date. This later, if it turns out that your young lady loves them, asters and chrysanthemums will be a very appropriate gift for each meeting.

And now about how much to give flowers to the girl. If your financial situation allows you to buy expensive flowers, then the amount will directly depend on their kind. For example, orchids, lilies and callas are not given with armfuls. These exotic flowers are presented in one or three pieces. But it is better, if an experienced florist will make with them an interesting composition - such a bouquet will surely amaze your beloved.

If you are going to give one flower, then try to present it unusually, so as not to seem to the girl a miser.

How many colors should be in the bouquet

Deciding how much flowers can be given, it is worth remembering that their number is a silent message. And a girl who knows the language of flowers, can easily decipher it, which means that you must be at the height!

So:

• By giving one flower, you confirm that it is the only one;
• 3 flowers allude to the fact that you are ready to go through life with her;
• 5 flowers is a declaration of love;
• 7 - bouquet, which is presented on the day of engagement;
• Having presented 9 flowers, you offer your friend only friendship.

By the way, men should think carefully about how much to give flowers to the girl, especially unfamiliar. So, on her birthday, you should not give her too much bouquet, since this puts the lady in a difficult position. This bouquet requires fast delivery of positions, and if the girl is not ready for the rapid development of relations, your meeting may be the last.

Flowers are accepted to give at the most different events in a person's life, and to make this gift appropriate, you need to know some rules.

The bouquet must match the situation

Knowing how much you can give flowers, it is important to remember another nuance - the bouquet should exactly correspond to the situation at which it is presented, otherwise the flowers and the donor will make an unpleasant impression. For example, going to the anniversary, choose bouquets of roses, lilies, gladioli, chrysanthemums or carnations. In this case, remember that large bouquets or luxurious floral arrangements will be appropriate only in especially solemn occasions.

• If you choose flowers for your child, small, bright flowers, arranged in a small bouquet - this is the most successful gift.
• Please note that for ladies aged dark and fast withering flowers is an unsuitable gift. A woman-boss should not give red or burgundy roses, which in the language of flowers mean a love passion.
• Regardless of how many pieces of flowers are given, for men it is necessary to choose bouquets stretched in length, for which flowers are needed on a high leg. And bouquets for the fair sex should always have a rounded shape.
• Be careful with the dried flower compositions. As a rule, they denote the termination of relations and the desire to part. Do not give them to those whose feelings you cherish!
