Choosing the Perfect Flowers: A Guide to Buying the Right Blooms

We believe flowers have the power to transform spaces, convey emotions, and create lasting memories. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, expressing sympathy, or simply brightening someone's day, choosing the right blooms can make all the difference. 

At Beaverton Florists, we're passionate about helping you find the perfect flowers to suit your needs and preferences. This guide offers valuable insights and expert tips to help you navigate the world of flowers and make informed choices:

Consider the Occasion

Different occasions call for different types of flowers.

  • Romantic gestures: Classic roses, elegant lilies, or delicate orchids express love and affection.

  • Birthdays: Vibrant sunflowers, cheerful gerberas, or playful tulips convey joy and celebration.

  • Sympathy: Serene white lilies, calming hydrangeas, or graceful orchids offer condolences and support.

  • Congratulations: Bold protea, exotic birds of paradise, or striking anthurium convey achievement and success.

Know the Recipient's Preferences

Personalizing your flower choice adds a thoughtful touch. Consider the recipient's favorite colors, flower types, and any potential allergies they might have. If unsure, our team at Beaverton Florists can offer personalized recommendations based on the recipient's personality and your desired message.

Think About the Season

Seasonal flowers are often fresher, more vibrant, and more cost-effective. Embrace the beauty of each season by selecting blooms that are naturally in bloom. 

Pay Attention to Color Symbolism

Colors evoke different emotions and carry symbolic meanings.

  • Red represents love, passion, and romance.

  • White represents purity, innocence, and sympathy.

  • Yellow represents joy, friendship, and new beginnings.

  • Pink represents gratitude, grace, and admiration.

  • Purple represents royalty, luxury, and enchantment.
