Flowers can be given for a specific reason or just like that.

At the same time, do not forget about the tastes of those whom you are going to bestow. But in any case, remember that this is a reminder of you, of your feelings.
Step 2
Flowers for the beloved.
Of course, it is customary to give scarlet roses to the beloved. After all, everyone knows that this flower is a symbol of love. And the richer the color, the more passion the rose implies. But in no case do not give such flowers to those colleagues or acquaintances with whom you are not going to connect your fate with love.
A bouquet for a beloved woman can be large or small. But according to the rules - this is a bouquet up to about forty centimeters.
Step 3
Flowers for a relative.
A bouquet for mom, grandmother, aunt or sister is designed to express other emotions. This is, first of all, respect and affection. A small bunch of violets, carnations, cornflowers, lilies of the valley can become a flower gift for a sister or niece. For older women, lilies, red tulips, gladioli are considered more appropriate.
