A new home is an empty palette, a new beginning and a place that you want to fill with warmth and personality. And what better way to mark this new and exciting chapter in their life than with gorgeous housewarming flowers!? As the best Beaverton florist, we think flowers have got to be the greatest welcome, bringing that smile and the burst of color and warm feeling to any new home. But with so many gorgeous choices, how do you pick the perfect one to say “Welcome Home”?
Understanding the Welcome Home Vibe
Housewarming gifts should be thoughtful, non-obtrusive and contribute to the pleasure of settling in, and flowers tick all these boxes. They immediately warm up strange spaces, inject a shot of life and don’t require storage, unlike so many other gifts. As you select, consider sentiments like: “Welcome,” “Wishing you happiness,” “May your new home be filled with joy” or “Here’s to new beginnings.”
Think About the New Home's Style
Though you may not know what the decor of the new place really looks like, you can often guess at an overarching style or select versatile options:
For a Modern, Minimal Home: Choose from minimalist arrangements with clean lines and fewer but larger blooms. Consider elegant calla lilies, refined orchids, or a modern monochrome grouping or roses or tulips. Plain glass vases really accompany this look well.
For Cozy, Traditional Home: Regal, fuller arrangements usually fit best. Think classic hydrangeas, fragrant peonies (if in season) or a darling combination of garden roses and lisianthus. A traditional glass or ceramic vase would be nice.
For an Eye-Catching, Eclectic Home: Don’t shy away from a pop of color and variety of texture! Happy gerbera daisies, sunny sunflowers, or a mix of zinnias and bright snapdragons lend a fun, inviting note.
The Homeowner with a "Green Thumb": An attractive potted plant, such as a lush peace lily (which is great for purifying air), a majestically vibrant orchid or fashionable succulent garden makes a great, lasting gift that keeps on growing in their new home.
Smart Choices for New Spaces
Even the most gorgeous blooms require a little thought when taking them to a new home, where things might be in boxes. A quick example is making sure to get a sturdy vase or container, as movers and boxes could make spilling more possible.
The last thing a first-time homeowner should get is a needy gift. Opt for flowers that already arrive in a vase, pre-arranged and ready for display. Choose flowers that have a good vase life such as carnations, chrysanthemums, or alstroemeria. Potted plants are also great because they can live on.
Sure, fragrant flowers smell delightful, but keep in mind that in a new space, especially if it's not well ventilated, strong scents can be a real turnoff or trigger allergies for the homeowner. And low-fragrance options like tulips, gerbera daisies or many orchids are generally safer bets.
Adding the Perfect Welcome Message
Don't forget the card! A heartfelt note is essential. Keep it warm and congratulatory. Examples include:
Welcome to your beautiful new home! Being happy and remembering all the good times this tumultuous year brought.
So happy for you! "You will be missed, and we will be wishing you all the best in your new place.
Let these flowers bring a little sunshine to your new life. Congratulations!
