The Standard Rules for Giving Flowers
Most people don't realize it, but there are general guidelines
and rules to giving the gift of flowers to someone. There
is a delicate line between sending a girl flowers too
early in the relationship and not sending them at all……ever.
Many men fall into the latter trap. Guys, take my advice…..you
have to send the woman flowers sometime in the first 4-6
months at the latest. But be sure to select the right
occasion.
If you really have an incredible first date----one that
really has you reeling----feel free to send the girl flowers.
You may not want to go with red, long-stemmed roses right
away. But sending the girl a beautiful bouquet of fresh
flowers after a terrific first date will likely capture
her heart. You must have a mind-blowing first date, though.
If it wasn't the best first date of your life, step back
a moment.
Otherwise, you may want to wait until you have your first
fancier, formal date where you accompany her to a wedding
or a charity event or a banquet for work or civic function
that she is involved with. You also may want to avoid
red roses right off the bat because this is usually perceived
as a message of, "I love you". Unless that is
exactly what you mean to express, you may want to go with
pink or white roses or an entirely different bouquet.
It is perfectly alright and completely unexpected (which
always puzzled me) when you present your woman with flowers
at a graduation ceremony, an award ceremony, a performance
in which she sang or acted in a play, or some other similar
achievement in which she is the guest of honor at that
particular event. I believe it is so unexpected to the
woman because she is so wrapped up in the affair at hand
(as she should be), that she forgets someone is thinking
especially of her. Guys, this can score a lot of points
for the next time you disappoint her. Remember that.
When should red roses make their first appearance? Feel
free to send her red roses after your first night together.
Most of the women we know at FlowersandCakes.com LOVE that
gesture. A straw poll among the ladies in the office supports
this theory. Or regardless of the sleeping arrangements,
you can present her with red roses the first time you
intend to tell her that you love her. And once the relationship
is serious, of course red roses are appropriate for anniversary
dates, birthdays, Valentine's Day, and any other special
occasion.
Many men feel that sending flowers to a woman when they
have disappointed their wife/girlfriend is a great idea.
It is an olive branch gesture, but a sincere apology has
to accompany such an offering. Just as when children feel
they are being "bought off" with gifts for a
lack of quality time or an absentee parent, women can
feel the same way if a humbled apology isn't part of the
gesture. And adding the apology to the card doesn't always
cut it. Typically you want to verbally apologize and the
flowers serve as the peace offering.
These are just a couple of the general "rules"
to giving a woman the gift of flowers. Like so many things
that can be misinterpreted, there is etiquette to presenting
this gift to someone. Make sure you are not using the
gift of flowers as a tool to get out of the doghouse.
And make sure you are not overstating your feelings. Nor
do you want to scare the recipient with a gesture that
is just a bit too early in the relationship. Think it
thru before selecting your bouquet. And in most cases,
the florist is an expert at helping their customers select
the right flowers for the right occasion.
