Best Flowers to Gift for a Birthday

Receiving a bouquet of flowers for your birthday is touching, and it's made even more special when great thoughtfulness and care go into choosing the best birthday flowers and arrangement. Birthday bouquets are a very popular gift choice to celebrate someone's new year around the sun. According to Webinar Care, 12% of flowers are bought as birthday gifts, so this sentiment is shared by many. While you can't go wrong with gifting someone a bouquet of their favorite flowers for their birthday, here are some other ways you can give someone's birthday floral arrangements a sentimental touch.

Birthday Month Flowers

You can always base a bouquet's arrangement on the flower associated with the person's birth month. The list of best birthday flowers varies, as some months have two flowers associated with them and you'll often find that a list mentions only one. For example, the Old Farmer's Almanac says January's flowers are carnations and snowdrops, but Mind Body Green mentions only the carnation. Try using the month's flower as the central star and surround it with complementary filler flowers.

Seasonal Flowers

Another gift idea is to create a bouquet using flowers that are fitting for the season. Someone who has a birthday in late summer or early autumn might like a bouquet of sunflowers, for example. Someone born in early summer might appreciate a more tropical bouquet such as one made with hibiscus. Look into seasonal color palettes as well to tailor your gift to the time of the year.

Flowers for Nearby Holidays

For someone whose birthday falls on or close to a holiday, you can include flowers heavily associated with holidays while keeping the bouquet specific to their special day. For instance, if the recipient was born on the fourth of July, you can opt for finding them a floral arrangement that has white roses and blue baby's breath, or red hibiscus with white Queen Anne's lace. This ensures that the flowers you're gifting are not just festive, but personal to your loved one.
