If someone you know and love will be graduating soon, sending them flowers is a nice way to show you care. However, with the thousands of flower and bouquet options out there, you may not know which ones to choose. Here are a few good flowers to consider including in the bouquet you are going to have delivered to your graduate.
Roses
Roses have a classic, elegant appeal, which makes them a good choice for an occasion as noble as graduation. Avoid giving a single rose, as that tends to be a more romantic gesture, and also avoid red roses — those are also best reserved for romantic occasions. Bright colors like yellow and peach are better choices for this exciting time. If your graduate prefers more toned-down gestures, white roses are a safe bet.
Orchids
Orchids are said to be a symbol of strength, which makes them a good option — especially if your graduate has had to display strength and courage in order to make it this far in life. A bouquet of all orchids can be pretty expensive, but you can reduce costs by choosing a bouquet that integrates some other smaller flowers, like baby's breath, or some greenery, such as ferns.
Carnations
White carnations, in particular, are a symbol of good luck — which is something your graduate needs as they move forward into the world of jobs and careers. Yellow and pink carnations can also be a good choice since they stand for excitement and hope. If you love the look of carnations, you could create a rainbow bouquet with these three colors! Do steer clear of red carnations, as they tend to be reserved for romantic occasions. Of course, if the graduate is your partner, red carnations may be entirely appropriate.
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are quite large, so they can make quite an impression when you present them in a bouquet. They are said to represent longevity and also new beginnings, which is incredibly fitting for graduation. If you wish to tone down the look of sunflowers, you can pair them with some white or yellow carnations. Even one sunflower surrounded by a bunch of smaller flowers will make quite an impact.
The best thing about a flower bouquet is that you can use as many or as few different types of flowers as you wish. Talk to your local florist for ideas that incorporate the flowers above.
