For a girl, nothing's sweeter than knowing someone's thinking of her, even amidst busy days.
That there's someone thinking about you and missing you enough to show you just how much, by sending you a bunch of flowers in the middle of the day, 'just like that'. It brings out the 'awwww' quotient in you, and makes all the women around you go on and on about how 'lucky you are' and how 'sweet' your boyfriend/husband is.
And at that moment, when the delivery guy calls out your name and hands you a bouquet with a note, you truly do feel like the luckiest woman in the world, don't you? *Sigh* But that's all about women.
What about the guys who're thinking about the kind of flowers that the girl likes, and whether sending or giving flowers is appropriate on no special occasion? This MenWit article is an attempt to help them out with a few pointers on how to select flowers for girls.
What She Likes to Look At
Despite our efforts to look beyond appearances, we're naturally drawn to what's attractive. Women, especially, are selective about aesthetics.
With flowers, we elevate aesthetics to a whole new level. Their vibrant colors instantly captivate us, making choosing from the wide array even harder!
So, the first tip for you would be to buy flowers that are visually appealing to the woman you wish to give them to. Pick up hints from the way she looks at a flower bouquet if you'll pass one. Listen to her if she ever talks about a flower that she particularly likes.
No woman can resist exclaiming when she sees a flower that she loves (or is that just me?), so take the hint and get them for her.
If she hasn't mentioned anything, then you can try and judge for yourself, what you think will suit her personality and get them for her, explaining why you got them. If you still can't figure out, then read ahead for some other pointers.
What She Likes to Smell
If looks aren't everything to her, opt for flowers with a lovely fragrance. Some varieties like lilies, gerberas, and bird of paradise are stunning but lack scent.
For a captivating fragrance, consider sending her fragrant flowers to her home or workplace. Jasmine and roses are excellent choices.
For an unconventional approach, consider daffodils, lilacs, lavender, hyacinth, etc. Another daring tactic is to decipher her perfume preference to gauge her flower taste.
What does she smell of? Fresh flowers, vanilla, something exotic perhaps? Try to heighten those olfactory senses and look around for the flowers that you think come closest to what she smells like. Imagine her face when she gets the flowers and a note from you saying that the flowers reminded you of her! She'll be in another world for sure!
*Pssst!: Don't send her too many flowers that have an overpowering fragrance, or too little flowers that have a subtle tone. The point would be lost, wouldn't it?
What They Mean to Her
Objects often hold sentimental value, including flowers. Women who appreciate flowers can relate.
And for all the men reading this, all you need to do is try to find out what flower means what to her. While you can go with the conventional 'roses are for love' and 'daffodils are to spread cheer' and all that, wouldn't it be nice to take that bit of effort and find out if she actually does like roses and daffodils or does she prefer gerberas and orchids?
Yes it would. So pay attention. And pick up on what she says about flowers. You'll be surprised at the number of women whose favorite flower is NOT the rose!
Why You're Giving them to Her
If your woman loves flowers, occasions don't matter. She'll cherish any blooms you give her, any time.
However, she'll cherish a cute explanation for why you're giving them. Use these meanings to craft your message and watch her smile light up!
Sending flowers to a woman doesn't always imply romantic feelings. They can be sent for various reasons: gratitude, congratulations, apologies, or declarations of love.
These are just a few of the many reasons that you can give a woman flowers. Rest assured that whatever the reason, the occasion or the sentiment, flowers are always welcome by women. It's just who we are! So happy flower shopping. Let us know if she liked them!
