Subtle, mysterious and certainly fragrant ... All this can be said about a wonderful language that people from all over the world can understand.
What does a language with the complex name of floriography or villages and jewelry have in common? They are able to express feelings, convey mood and convey a certain idea. They are more than any words.
What kind of bouquet to give your beloved so that it is not just flowers?
How did the language of flowers
For the first time, the language of flowers appeared in the East, in Turkey. It was invented by women who were deprived of communication and did not dare to open their faces. With the help of flowers, they could express their moods, feelings and feelings. It was in the East that the village system gained popularity and later became the basis for the European language of flowers.
The wife of the English ambassador to Istanbul, Mary Worthley Montague, and the French traveler, Aubrey de la Mottre, introduced the Old World to this symbolism.
In the 18th century, many dictionaries were published in Europe, revealing the meanings of various plants. The language of flowers gained incredible popularity in the Victorian era.
In Russia, villages became known in noble society of the 19th century, thanks to the poet D. Oznobishin, who wrote the book "Selam, or the Language of Flowers." He came up with the famous children's game “I was born a gardener ...” Later, the symbolic poets adopted the language of flowers.
At the end of the 20th century, florists addressed the language of flowers. Many of the rules for composing bouquets are somehow connected with the well-known interpretation of certain flowers.
In recent years, these flowers have been associated with the arrival of spring. Delicate and romantic, at all times they symbolized infinite happiness, however, they acquired additional significance, depending on the color.
So, a bouquet of red or pink tulips means: “I don’t know how to tell about love!”. White flowers are a symbol of admiration and strong feeling. Contrary to the famous song, yellow tulips have nothing to do with separation, they only give a compliment: “Your smile is like a sunbeam!” But the colorful tulips are a delight with the radiant eyes of a beloved.
Iris is considered the emblem of France. This exquisite flower has long been a sign of trust, loyalty, wisdom and sincerity. In some countries, irises also symbolize good news.
These flowers are a great gift for a sister, mom or best friend. In the language of flowers, irises say: “Our friendship means a lot to me” or “I really appreciate our trusting relationship.” It is a symbol of protection, support and respect.
This flower is especially revered in the ancient countries of the East. So, in Japan there is even a holiday of chrysanthemums, which traditionally takes place in the fall.
Chrysanthemum is considered a regal flower, a symbol of prosperity and happiness, cheerfulness and openness. Some colors have acquired additional meanings over time. So, giving white chrysanthemums, you say: “Believe me!” And the yellow flowers will be a sign of gratitude: “Thank you for being there!”
Gerbera is one of the most flirty flowers. In Selam, it means sympathy, smile, flirtation and, at the same time, mystery and lack of understanding. Gerbera is as unpredictable and contradictory as the woman herself.
Lilies
A flower of divine beauty, nobleness, hope and purity. This is the flower of the Virgin Mary.
Choosing colors may turn into a problem. To please a girl, you must be able to choose a bouquet for the character of the girl and the specific situation. It is also useful to know how to store flowers and properly convey them to the meeting place. A competent choice of a gift can affect the girl’s disposition, her attitude to a man and strengthen the relationship.
What flowers to choose
Since the choice of flowers is an individual process, in the early stages of dating it is important to ask the girl what she likes best. When there is no such possibility, or the first date is planned, it makes sense to give a choice in favor of the eternal classics.
Roses fit every girl and for any occasion. They come with a long stem, short or bush. A wide palette of colors allows you to choose the right bouquet for a particular person.
To girls who tend to dream, love books and walks in the park, can be presented single rose with a short stem. Such a flower has a neat voluminous bud, which can then be dried and used as a reminder of the meeting.
If a young lady loves luxury, is used to expensive things and expects generous deeds from her chosen one, then the best choice is bouquet of several roses on a long stalk. They have large buds that will surely win the heart of such a girl. Shrub roses are usually given only in a bouquet, and they are more suitable for a creative, dreamy person.
It is worth being careful with three plants: lilies, carnations and chrysanthemums.
Lilies, though beautiful, smell very much. Because of this, they can cause severe headaches. Carnations and chrysanthemums are classic "teacher" flowers, which few people like.
If a girl you know little, it is better not to risk it and give preference to roses in the early stages of dating.
In summer, an interesting option will be a bouquet of wildflowers - you can cut them yourself or find at grandmothers who sell fruits and vegetables from their personal plots. Not every girl will like flowers from a flower bed (dahlias, gladioli, etc.), but meadow chamomile or cornflower will surely melt the heart of a romantic person. It is also always nice to receive a small bouquet of lilies of the valley as a gift.
In spring, it is time for mimosa and tulips. By the holiday of March 8, it is better to opt for the latter. Tulips look more noble, they have a lot different colorsamong which you can choose the right one. Peonies also belong to interesting seasonal colors - a neat bouquet of pale pink peonies lasts a long time, and almost everyone likes it.
Color meaning
Now not much attention is paid to the meaning of color, but behind the scenes, nevertheless one rule applies: dark flowers mean deep feelings, light colors mean friendship, admiration and easy attachment, yellow and orange bright colors mean good luck, care and wishes for joy.
When the relationship is just beginning, you can give a girl white or pink flowers. White tulips and roses personify purity and innocence, and pink is considered a sign of elegance.
Red, Burgundy and Violet Colors symbolize passion, fiery love and deep feelings. This applies to roses, peonies and tulips. Yellow and orange flowers are presented to cheer up and push the girl to brighter thoughts. Blue buds are unusual; they symbolize mystery for many centuries. Such flowers can be given to an unusual girl who likes to stand out.
How many colors to give
The number of flowers in a bouquet is also very important. Now small neat bouquets are in fashion, hence the fashion for wildflowers. The smaller the flower, the more inflorescences in the bouquet. Roses "on occasion" give from 5 pieces. For the holiday you can buy a chic bouquet of 51 or even 101 roses, but many recognize them as tasteless. 25 dark red roses on a long stem look more elegant and are remembered no less.
On the first date or with no reason at all, you can give only 1 flower. It can be a rose or a gerbera. The remaining flowers are given exclusively in a bouquet, and they will not look alone. All bush inflorescences give 3 or 5 branches at once. For example, they include spray roses and carnations, peonies and lilies.
On a date you can give not only flowers. The most see in this article. Success a good bouquet is only half the battle. The success of a first date is an envy of time.
Sometimes there is no money for an expensive gift. However, there are many ways.
How to choose the right bouquet before buying
Close attention should be paid only when choosing tulips or roses. Since they are capricious and do not stand for a long time, the following tips will help:
- You need to choose flowers yourself and not trust the florist in this matter, who can try to sell stale goods;
- The buds should hold well, the petals are not sluggish and without damage;
- The leaves on the stems are strong, without dried tips;
- The stalk of a gerbera should be twisted with a special wire;
- Roses are chosen with closed buds - they will bloom only after a day, and therefore will stand longer. The same goes for tulips;
- When buying a bouquet, do not buy ready-made from the window. It is necessary to ask the florist to make a new one, in which more fresh flowers will go.
Concerning packaging, then single flowers can not be wrapped in anything, and for bouquets, transparent packaging or a decorative mesh will be optimal. Wildflowers can be simply tied at the base with a ribbon and presented just like that.
How to bring the bouquet to the place
IN cold season flowers offer additional packaging in paper or newspaper. This seller’s advice should not be neglected. At low temperatures, the plants freeze and after they are brought into a warm room, they dry out in a matter of hours. Before handing the bouquet, the paper is removed.
In order not to damage the flowers, besides paper, you will need to carry them correctly. The bouquet is held by cut stems, while the buds are looking down. So the inflorescences slow down more slowly and are more likely to not be damaged.
When you buy flowers in advance, you must be able to save them until the time of the meeting. Several rules apply here:
- At home, the ends of the stems are carefully cut with a knife (2-3 cm);
- The water in the vase should be at room temperature (it is better to pour water in advance so that the vase is ready immediately from the street);
- Once every 5-6 hours, the bouquet is sprayed with water;
- Naughty roses put in water, adding 2-3 pieces of sugar. Also, if they are not wrapped, at night they can be put in a basin with water.
How to give a woman an original bouquet
If you have to long walk, then the flowers should not be given at the beginning of the meeting. The girl will be pleased, but in a few hours the plants wilted. On this occasion, it is better to leave for a moment at the end of the evening in the flower department and give the girl a surprise.
An exception - if the main part of the date is supposed to be held in a restaurant. When you can ask for a vase, it makes sense to give flowers at the beginning.
Flowers are presented in person or by courier. In a personal meeting, it is enough to give the bouquet to the girl, while looking into her eyes and smiling. You can say some careless phrase. For example, that you saw these flowers along the way and immediately thought about it. Women love it when they are compared to flowers, because they themselves consider them very beautiful.
For flower delivery by courier you should come up with an interesting signature for the card, which is applied to the flowers. A beautiful quote from the book will do. To provide a personal sign of attention, flowers can be sent to your home. If you want to cause a slight envy in the environment of the girl, then the bouquet can be delivered to work.

So, in order not to be mistaken with the choice of colors, roses and wildflowers are usually preferred. At the beginning of the relationship, light colors are chosen, and then red, symbolizing love, is well suited. For no reason they give 1 flower, and on holidays - bouquets. If you carefully select the flowers, do not damage them along the way and give the girl safe and sound, with proper care they will please the eye for a long time and remind you of a pleasant event.
The best gift for girls and women is a fragrant bouquet of flowers. Graceful, gentle, charming, they stretch each of their petals towards life as the personification of love and beauty. That is why girls like to receive them as a gift, and to young people - to present them. Only now, each girl has her own preferences in colors. And not only that, it turns out that each kind of them has its own significance. If you want to make the right choice, you should get acquainted with the alphabet of flowers.
If you recall, at all times, artists and poets compared the beauty of flowers with the charm of girls.
However, there are also men who are able to call a bouquet completely unnecessary "broom". In fact, they simply don’t know what flowers are a sophisticated tool that can positively influence the wayward girlish nature. After all, any of the fair sex, having seen a bouquet in the hands of her young man, will immediately become kinder.
Men who have perfectly mastered the magic of flowers can quite successfully use it, seducing their life partner as needed. Even a simple small bouquet is quite capable of mitigating a situation unpleasant for a girlfor example, if a lover was late for a romantic date or completely forgot to call.
Exist many different reasons for giving flowers to a girl. And there are never many of them. However, most often flowers are presented in the so-called “candy-bouquet” period. Also, they must be purchased on the days of your symbolic dates that have passed since you met. Maybe it will be a month, maybe a year, or maybe even 80 days - all this will already be an occasion to present your favorite bouquet. Well, and, of course, you can not do without them on holidays such as March 8 or name day.
Features of choosing a bouquet as a gift to the beloved
Be sure to consider the tastes of your chosen onechoosing a bouquet for her. An ideal gift option would be her favorite flowers. You can try to find out about the girl’s preferences during an innocent conversation on this topic.
Most of the established standards such as “blondes love chrysanthemums and brunettes like roses” simply break on the wall of female rejection.
After all, each girl is individual in her preferences, regardless of the color of their hair. If such “intelligence” did not give a specific result, you can try to choose those flowers that can only decorate her image. Sometimes, at the same time, for the shy young man, the flower manages to express those very main words.
When composing a bouquet for your chosen one, do not forget to take into account:
- type of selected plants;
- their color scheme;
- packaging;
- decor.
The age of the recipient of the presentation also plays an important role. 
For example, for a very young girl the best option would be a small bouquet consisting of delicate violets. Also small roses are very touching, coupled with miniature carnations, which are tied with a beautiful ribbon, matched to the color of the petals.
For a young woman red flowers embodying desire and passion will be appropriate.
Girls of young age may well be presented with a bouquet of open buds. But older ladies nevertheless, it will be more appropriate to choose plants that have already blossomed.
Let's try to consider in more detail which flowers are best for a girl.
The value of the number of flowers in a bouquet
When choosing a bouquet, it is necessary to take into account such a fact as the number of flowers that will be in it. This may be some number symbolizing your personal specific date, or it may be something else, but the main rule is that it should be odd.
What do these numbers mean?
Thus, it turns out that a bouquet in which there is a large number of flowers should not be particularly happy. After all, it may well be that the same 9 or more large beautiful roses are only a symbol of friendship, and not of love.
Do not forget that no matter how beautiful the bouquet is, if it is not delivered correctly, then all efforts will go down the drain.
According to the rules of etiquette, the bouquet should initially be in the left hand, after greeting it must be shifted to the right hand, after which it is presented to the girl.
It is allowed to hold a huge armful and present it with two hands.
If flowers are served indoors, be sure to remove the packaging, unless it is intended as part of the decoration of the composition. And most importantly - more beautiful words and smiles when presenting the bouquet. Indeed, under the admiring glance of a young man and his slight embarrassment, not a single girl's heart can resist!
The choice of flowers as a gift to a girl
One of the most important criteria for what kind of flowers can be presented to a girl is the type of plant itself. After all, any of them hides a specific meaning in itself.
Roses
Each of us knows perfectly well that a rose is rightly called the queen of flowers. She is a classic symbol of love. If you thought about the question: “What kind of flowers should I give a girl on a first date?”, Then pink flowers will be the best option.
At the very beginning of acquaintance, according to tradition, one pink or white rose is presented.
But the flowers of such a beautiful shade as dark burgundy are not given to loved ones, as they are considered a symbol of sadness. Roses yellow color usually personify separation or jealousy. Although, for example, in Japan they are considered the embodiment of the sun, happiness, and even health.
White flowers can show the purity of a man’s intentions.
They are a symbol of the sun, joy, summer and good mood.
They are usually handed to cheerful friends, while the color scheme of the bouquet does not really matter.
Gerberas also embody modesty, evoke memories of beautiful days spent together, and can even talk about hidden feelings.
Especially a similar bouquet will delight a girl if she is presented on a rainy autumn or cold winter evening.
These beautiful flowers are able to stand for a long time in the water, so their fragrance will remind the girl for a long time about the meeting when the bouquet was presented.
The color scheme of carnations does not really matter. However, a bouquet of flowers in blue tones is very unusual.
You should not take into account such a stereotype that carnations are appropriate as a gift only for older ladies, and young girls are not presented with them - this is absolutely not so.
Quite often, men still doubt which flowers to give to the girl so that the surprise is pleasant.
In this case, you can opt for sunflowers, because they are rightly considered the personification of a sunny warm mood.
A man who presents such bright flowers to a girl conveys all his love and passion with them. Indeed, you see, women rarely get such unusual bouquets of sunflowers!
If you are thinking about what bouquet of flowers to present to a girl, buy lilies.
These beautiful flowers embody tenderness and admiration. Lily is considered the embodiment of purity, innocence, beauty and wealth.
The girl will certainly be delighted to receive a bouquet of these delicious flowers as a gift, provided that she is not allergic to their strong fragrance. Sometimes it happens that the specific smell of lilies is simply not pleasant to the girl.
Orchids are classified as sophisticated and quite expensive.
They are presented to a woman dear to her heart, a girl in order to express their strong intimate feelings for her. Orchid embodies sophistication, lightness, devotion, daydreaming, passion and love.
Still wondering what flowers to give the girl? Feel free to purchase orchids.
But such universal colors as chrysanthemums and irises are characterized by lightness and freedom from any obligations. They do not promise anything, and therefore they are handed over for a variety of reasons and to any girl. In a vase, these flowers can stand for almost a month. Her steadfastness is an excellent occasion to prove her devotion and love.
Chrysanthemums are closer to fun and good mood. But irises embody reliability, faith and wisdom. Their bright color creates a wonderful mood, in addition to this, irises have a rather delicate aroma.
A terrific gift for a girl is a huge armful of daisies, little suns.
Chamomile is a touching flower that brings only positive and a smile. I want to give these flowers not only to my chosen one, but also to all the other women around.
Usually daisies are made up of large enough neat bouquets that are presented as an addition to the main gift or just like that. Many women prefer not only daisies, but also other wildflowers, symbolizing innocence, youth, purity, romance and the sun.
Thinking about what flowers to give a girl besides roses? A lush bouquet of tulips, especially white tones, will be the best gift for your girlfriend on a sunny day. By the way, in our country, such a bouquet is the personification of a rather refined recognition of one’s feelings and a symbol of sincere sympathy and love for a woman.
But in the countries of the East, tulips, on the contrary, mean debauchery and a hint of erotic thoughts about the recipient of the bouquet. Therefore, being in such a place, men should be especially careful.

The value of the shades when choosing a bouquet
When choosing a bouquet, it is worth considering not only the variety of the flower itself, but also its color, which is of great importance.
For example, a rose can tell a woman a lot about the feelings of a man who chose flowers.
Therefore, it is very important to consider what color to give flowers to a girl. Using the right combination, you can tell a lot more about the depth of the experienced feelings.
White color considered a color symbolizing purity and innocence. Flowers of such tones are neutral and unobtrusive. A bouquet of red flowers symbolizes love, fire and passion.
They are quite suitable in order to present them to their mistress or girlfriend, to whom the young man has the most ardent feelings.
Yellow it’s not at all necessary to associate with separation, because in fact they are a symbol of happiness, have a good mood and joy.
But in the event that you recently met a girl, you should still not experiment with the colors of yellow tones. After all, different girls treat him differently.
Pink color symbolizes tenderness and love for a woman. Flowers of such shades are universal and suitable as a gift for women of all ages.
Orange flowers are the personification of happiness, celebration and wealth. In addition, it is also the color of positive and joy.
Also, what flowers to give a girl, in many respects also depends on her appearance.
Brunette flowers of red tones are more suitable, which will be a symbol of her passion and expressiveness.
Blondes just created for delicate, light shades - pink, cream, fawn colors are better than others.
They will not distract attention from the recipient of the bouquet, will be harmoniously combined with her appearance, and emphasize all her sophistication. 
For red-haired beauties and brown-haired women buy bouquets consisting of purple or burgundy flowers that will be decorated with lots of greenery.
When purchasing flowers, be sure to pay attention to their appearance - the bouquet should be absolutely fresh. Avoid all kinds of sparkles and colors confirming the staleness of flowers. Petals should be shiny, smooth, without wrinkles.
Some people pick flowers also Zodiac sign.
Don't know what flowers to give a girl to Sagittarius or Leo?
These signs are preferred by large, spectacular flowers with a pronounced aroma - peonies or roses, gladiolus or tulips will be accepted with enthusiasm.
In general, it is not so important which flowers you have chosen. The main thing is to present them wholeheartedly. Indeed, not every girl knows the language of flowers, but absolutely everyone knows the language of feelings.
The main guideline when choosing a beautiful bouquet of roses for a loved one should be a colorful color composition and only then should you pay attention to the cost or symbolism of the bouquet. It so happened that at any significant event, the girls are given a bouquet of roses. This flower long ago took a leading position in relation to other flowers.
