When you go to a florist to get a bouquet made, and see the wide variety of options that he has to offer to you, it is easy to feel bewildered. But the good news is that you can minimise your options keeping the occasion in mind, as different flowers have different meanings associated with them and thus each is appropriate for a particular event. If you know what meanings are conveyed by the different flowers, then you are left with a small set of flowers to choose from, and your choice becomes easy.

The idea of flowers projecting human feelings is thought to have begun long ago, and was much in vogue during the Victorian era. While yellow roses stand for love that has more friendly and platonic overtones, the red ones represent love that is true and passionate. Even tulips and carnations in their variety of colours, each have a different meaning to communicate.

On the event of marriage, guests are required to gift bouquets to the newly married couple. In such situations, the best bet is to have bouquets and arrangements that reflect the theme or season of the wedding. If the wedding falls in spring, then a bouquet with spring flowers can be presented to the couple, and in case of an old fashioned marriage a bouquet having an assortment of white and red flowers can be gifted.

Colourful and bright flowers must be reserved for happy events like anniversaries and birthdays, and flowers like roses, daisies and chrysanthemums are the best for bouquets meant for such occasion s. For academic successes like graduation, the choice of flowers should be both cheerful and subtle. Colourful lilies serve the purpose well, and a combination of two to three colours gives an added appeal to the arrangement.

White flowers, particularly sombre ones like white carnations, are generally meant for funerals or other sorrowful event s. By giving a white bouquet or wreath you wish the soul of the departed eternal peace. On the other hand, a collection of bright flowers, such as tropical blooms are excellent for someone who is feeling unwell as vibrant bouquets consisting these flowers are seen as wishing a speedy recovery.

You might suddenly feel that choosing the correct bouquet for an occasion is like walking through a minefield, but don't forget that a florist can always come to your rescue if you are confused. If you are buying flowers from a well-known florist in Singapore, then the people there will happily guide you in making the right choice for your occasion.
