Flowers make the perfect gift for almost every occasion. From anniversaries to funerals, flowers can often say more than words ever could. To ensure you pick the right type, talk to your florist and ask them what they recommend.

For anniversaries or gifts for a loved one, your classic choice is red or pink roses. These colours represent love and passion and are always a safe option to give to your special someone. Of course, other flowers are just as meaningful—for a 5th anniversary, daisies are the correct choice, while lilies are typically gifted on a 30th anniversary. Be warned though, yellow flowers of any kind are a bad choice as yellow represents friendship, or in some cases, disappointment!

Have a friend or co-workers birthday coming up? Make sure you get the right flowers! Each month has its own special flower, for example, carnations in January, delphinium in July and marigold in October. To make things easy, many florists offer same-day delivery throughout Goulburn and the surrounds.

If you’re looking to impress on a first-date, then consider bringing orchids or tulips. They are pleasant and welcoming, but not overwhelming like a vivid red rose might be.

For a more sombre occasion, like a funeral or passing of a loved one, gentle colours like blue, green and white are the best choice. Chrysanthemums and lilies are ideal as these are the flowers and colours of peace, humility and calmness.

Of course, there are flowers for every occasion out there, including Valentine’s day, Mother’s Day, celebrating a birth, saying thank you to a co-worker, or just expressing your love. The best choice is always the recipients favourite flower or colour.

If your loved one or chosen recipient likes a number of different flowers, talk to your florist about a custom flower arrangement. Goulburn florists excel at creating stunning bouquets that can convey powerful meanings and ensure your love, sympathy or gratitude comes across.

Want to be able to create your own stunning arrangement? Many flower shops throughout Goulburn offer classes or tutorials for budding enthusiasts to hone their craft and enjoy the art of flower arrangement.

Florists offer more than just flowers as well! Many shops have a fantastic range of gifts for every occasion, including gift baskets, cute teddy bears, chocolates and balloons. They often have other kinds of plants available to help lighten the mood in your office or workplace.

Need to send flowers interstate? Don’t worry! Making use of Interflora and other delivery companies, florists can have stunning, fresh flowers delivered anywhere around the country, or even overseas!

For special events, like Valentine’s Day or Christmas, ensure you arrange your order in advance so your loved ones don’t miss out on the day.

It doesn’t matter whether you want to say, ‘thank you’ or ‘I love you’, local Goulburn florists have the flowers and bouquets to suit.
