Why Use Flowers
|
| Why use flowers |
| The reason for preferring flowers to convey a message rather than use words is very simple. This way, the communication of the idea becomes more beautiful and subtle. The visual effect seems to make the experience of giving and receiving gifts stick to memory in a more effective way than a mere stream of words. |
| The right flowers for the right occasions |
| There are some conventions about which flowers are most suitable for which occasions. As examples, let us consider the occasions of birthday, wedding day, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day. Usually bright-colored flowers are chosen for birthdays. Seasonal flowers are considered most appropriate for a wedding day. For the Valentine’s Day, roses are supposed to be the best and for Mother’s Day, carnations thought to be most appropriate. There are other flowers that are deemed best for the number of other occasions that are celebrated |
