It you’re celebrating your 50th birthday, you’re planning a surprise 50th for a loved one, or you’re looking for the perfect 50th birthday gift, birthday flowers are a must. Asides from brightening up the day of the birthday girl or boy, a beautiful bouquet of blooms is guaranteed to add both fragrance and colour to a venue, the office or the home.
Why the 50th birthday is one to really celebrate!
The 50th birthday is a milestone in anyone’s life. Be it your own birthday, that of your best friend, your sister, brother or your mother, it’s important to ensure you celebrate the date! It’s a great time to look back on memories and achievements and to think about all the family and friends who really matter to you. It is also a time for celebration, so why not throw your own birthday soirée? Or better still, throw a surprise party for a loved one. In addition to a party, be it as a gift or decoration, there is no better way to mark this important occasion than with flowers.
It is important to select 50th birthday blooms wisely though; they should always be based on the recipient’s personality and style. Even though gender stereotypes are quickly becoming a thing of the past, most people will have a favourite colour or bloom. If you’re unsure of their tastes, opt for a neutral, simplistic display, such as minimalist hues and generic blooms, which are inoffensive to all.
Which flowers to choose?
You may wish to consider the month in which the individual celebrating their birthday was born in or alternatively, their favourite bloom or colour. You will also want to take into consideration their personality, and whether they enjoy the finer things in life? If so, opt for a sophisticated floral arrangement in keeping with their tastes. If they love colour and boast a vibrant personality, something to really make a statement may be appropriate. Alternatively, if they radiate a boho, effortless style, choose wildflowers in pastel hues.
