Bright, cheerful, and a little bit extra.

Birthday flowers

A birthday bouquet works because it is simple. It says someone thought of you today. The trick is matching the flowers to the person and getting them there on the right day.

Questions

What are the best flowers for a birthday?

Tulips, gerberas, peonies, and mixed seasonal bouquets all work. Match the colour to the person: soft pastels for classic tastes, brights for fun ones.

Is it better to send flowers early or on the day?

On the day feels best, but one day early is safer if the person may not be home. Most services let you choose the date.

How much should I spend?

Most birthday bouquets fall in the $50 to $90 range. A thoughtful $50 bouquet beats an average $120 one.
