As a nation, we seem to be pretty good at giving flowers. We know all the right occasions. We give Mothers Day flowers, Valentine’s Day flowers, and Christmas flowers. We give flowers to our friends on their birthdays, and flowers to our relatives when someone dies. But why stop there?

Flowers can bring a positive message under any circumstances, and saying “I’m sorry” with flowers may be all it takes to bring back a lost friend, or heal a rift between you and your mother.  Here’s how to say “I’m sorry” with flowers.

1.    Carefully choose flowers the person will like.

Make the thought you put into your choice show. What are his or her favourite colours or flowers? Do they have a flower they don’t like? Many of our Thank You Flowers and Valentine’s Day Flowers arrangements would make good “I’m Sorry” flowers as well.

2.    Say you’re sorry in words as well.

It’s really up to you whether you do this before or after the flowers are delivered. You can do it in person, on the phone, or by letter. But it’s often more effective to say you’re sorry in person. Ring them up and say you want to talk, but remember to say that you want to apologize so that they aren’t dreading the meeting.

3.    Let the flowers speak for themselves.

Once you have said you are sorry and the flowers have been delivered, leave your friend or relative to reflect on what you’ve shared. Give them time to decide if they want you back in their life.

With the UK often covered in snow, the idea of flowers in winter might seem a little anachronistic. However, far from being out of place in the colder months, a flower can be a great way to brighten up the winter season, for lots of reasons:

Winter is the time of the year when we most like to exchange gifts, and especially during winter. It is as gifts that flowers are at their best, and therefore winter bouquets make lovely gifts all through the winter season. Of course, on Christmas or Valentines Day flowers are particularly appropriate and Valentine’s flowers are still the most popular kind of gift for Valentine’s Day.

Flowers are not just great as gifts of course, they are also highly decorative which makes them a simple but highly effective way to brighten up the home. If you are decorating for Christmas, then Christmas flowers and plants are an excellent way to create the festive atmosphere, especially if you use season colours such as red and green.

As Christmas encroaches, logistical pressures can become intense, and Christmas shopping etc can often become a little overwhelming! Sending flowers is always easy, however, and by choosing an online flower delivery service the process has never been easier, simply choose your ideal bouquet and let us take care of the rest!

So, why not banish those winter blooms with a great bouquet of winter flowers – from eflorist.co.uk

Whilst flowers are most commonly thought of as decorative items, their uses extend far beyond this, and they are utilized effectively for all sorts of different reasons. This makes flowers not only aesthetically pleasing but useful too!

You might wonder why we happily eat fruit and vegetables but don’t care to eat flowers? Well, in fact, you can! And flowers are used in all sorts of food and drink, for example, chrysanthemums can be added to salads, and jasmine is used to make Jasmine tea.

As well as their mesmerizing aesthetics, flowers are also remarkable for their scents, and therefore they play an important role in the production of perfumes and other scented products. It is interesting that  sending perfume and sending flowers are so popular, and they both depend squarely on the humble flower!

A flower is perhaps best used as decoration, and this is where flowers really come into their own. There are lots of ways in which flowers can be used decoratively, and perhaps, for example, a modern bouquet could really set of a home that is decorated to modern standards.

Or maybe a Christmas flower arrangement is just what you need to transform your home into a Christmassy wonderland, and inject some of those Christmas colours into your home. With this in  mind, lots of flowers are appropriate, whether its white lilies or red carnations. Either way, we make sending flowers easy, with next day, and even same day flower delivery.

Christmas is the most decorative time of the year, where we choose to deck our homes with all sorts of treats and trinkets. However, whereas Christmas decorations can often veer on the tacky side,  Christmas flower arrangements can add a touch of elegance to the holiday season.

There are lots of great Christmas flower arrangements that will look great in your home, and lots of ways to approach your Christmas flowers i.e. you could opt for tried and tested traditional arrangements, or you could look for something a little more individual – which would look great in a modern home.

Traditional

Christmas is the time of year when traditions come alive, and there are lots of traditional arrangements that will add an extra dimension of Christmas magic to your household. For instance, a Christmas wreath, made up of holly and ivy, will look great in situ on your front door, announcing to all of your visitors that Christmas has arrived.

Modern

Often, traditional kinds of décor can undermine more contemporary or modern homes; however, this does not mean that great Christmas arrangements are off the menu. And instead, at Eflorist we offer lots of elegant Christmas arrangements, that marry the magic of Christmas with stylish elegance. For instance, why not choose a bouquet that incorporates Christmas colours, such as red carnations and white lilies.

What ever flowers you choose – whether traditional or modern – at Eflorist we make getting those great bouquets a world easier, with next day and even same day flower delivery.

The crazy festive season can sometimes leave us adrift in a sea of “To Do” lists, RSVP’s, shopping days, errand-filled lunch hours and frantic evenings scribbling Christmas cards (which might get there before New Year if we’re lucky!)

We’re florists, so we love flowers – they’re our favourite gift to give all year round! The significance of giving flowers at Christmas is no less emotionally meaningful than Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or any of the other flower-filled special events we celebrate throughout the year.

In a fix regarding a last minute Christmas present? It happens to the best of us, so don’t panic! A few quick clicks and we can take care of all your Christmas flower delivery emergencies. Take a look at these top picks for a few ideas!

Christmas is about sumptuous reds and vibrant blooms. We absolutely love the “Red Splendour” bouquet -it’s packed with a mix of gorgeous red flowers including roses, carnations, gerbera, chrysanthemums and anthurium.

One last brilliant thing to mention – did you know we supply fantastic Christmas hampers too? Ranging from the thrifty “Christmas Box” to the luxurious “Twelfth Night” collection, choosing a lavish last minute gift for your loved ones has never been so easy.

This year, we’re treating our nearest and dearest to some beautiful blooms and festive hampers combined. Our favourite combination is the “Taste of Christmas” hamper and “Oranges and Lemons” bouquet – mixing the delicious flavours of Christmas with sensational opulence of our floral arrangements!

Some things are intrinsically linked with Christmas legend – the Christmas tree, carolling, eating too much, Dad snoring in the armchair during The Queen’s Speech! Flowers hold as relevant a place at Christmas as they do the year round.

Poinsettia
No Christmas wreath is complete without a bright splash of poinsettia flowers! Originally a Mexican winter-blooming flower, the legend tells of a young Mexican child who made a Christmas offering to the humble local church of weeds she’d picked from the side of road. Other children laughed at her feeble gift, but she’d been told that any gift given with love is a good gift. As she placed down the weeds they bloomed forth and became the red (Mexican) poinsettias we cherish today.

Mistletoe
Kissing under the mistletoe evolved from pagan beliefs in mistletoe as being linked with the continuation of life through the winter months. Mistletoe remained fresh and vibrant long after being cut from its bush, garnering the meaning that a kiss under the mistletoe and your love will never die!

Christmas Trees
Lively folks in northern Europe enjoyed decorating the bare branches of non-evergreen trees with bright ornaments during winter to encourage the tree spirit’s spring return. In the late 1700’s it became symbolic to bring evergreens into the house – representing new life. It was Prince Alert who, around 1841, brought the tradition of decorating evergreen trees to Britain from his native Germany.

We can’t supply your Christmas tree via our online flower delivery service (sorry!) but we can offer all the blooms of Christmas in our stunning winter flower selection.

Flowers make lovely Christmas decorations and thoughtful Christmas gifts. Whatever you want to purchase Christmas flowers for, here are some tips to get you started.

If you are purchasing the flowers as a gift, figure out what type of arrangement would be best for the recipient. If the recipient is a spouse or lover, you should try to choose romantic flowers which still have a Christmas theme. If it is a child, a grandmother, or a best friend, try to choose flowers which are significant to the person, or choose colours you know the person likes.

If the flowers are for decorative purposes, think about the overall theme of the room or house you are buying them for. If they are for your own home, this is a lot easier. Decide what colours or themes you want, and try to choose flowers which complement each other. If you want a classic, Victorian Christmas theme, choose old fashioned flowers like red roses, sprigs of mistletoe, and maybe some vases of holly boughs or potted poinsettias.

Purchasing Christmas flower arrangements for someone else’s home is a little bit harder, unless you want to go with the obvious, classic choices. But some people like to decorate in unusual styles and non traditional colours for Christmas. Find out what theme or colours are expected, and then choose an arrangement that will match.

Purchasing Christmas flowers from an online flower shop is a good idea because you can have them delivered virtually anywhere.

We all have those moments when we’ve forgotten someone’s birthday, or someone unexpected shows up around Christmas and we haven’t bought them a gift. So, what do you do when you’re a gift or two short, and you need to make a spur-of-the-moment purchase? Here are some gift ideas for those harried moments when you don’t know what to do.

Consider flowers. Christmas flowers or birthday flowers make excellent, personal gifts that you can easily buy at the last minute. You can even buy them online, and often have them delivered to someone the same day of your order. And flowers are almost always a classy, welcome gift for any female in your life.

Another beautiful, yet also practical gift you can give almost anyone is a fruit basket. This is especially good for elderly people around Christmas time. Fresh fruit is more expensive in the winter, and for those who live in nursing homes this may be a treat they don’t often get.

Chocolates are also usually a winner, with men and women alike. If you have the chance, ask someone close to the recipient what kind of chocolate they prefer – this makes your gift look a little more thought out.

While one-size-fits-all gifts are not right for everyone, here a few more easy options if you’ve drawn a blank: a bottle of wine, a hat and scarf set, a cozy afghan, a journal and pens, or a pretty mug and a box of flavoured tea. These are just a few ideas to get you started when you’re in a jam.

Here at eflorist, we can deliver beautiful flowers straight to your recipients door.

Every country has their own packed calendar of national holidays and celebratory events. The sentiment of flowers is one of good wishes, looking to the future, celebrating the moment, marking the past, or all of the above.

Our international flower delivery service is a ridiculously easy way to communicate thoughtfully with your far-away friends and loved ones, and to convey a sweet message of congratulations on their country’s important festivities.

Here are just a few national holidays from around the world that suit the gift of flowers perfectly.

Independence Day (various) – Of the countries that celebrate their Independence Day, it can be considered one of their most highly anticipated and meaningful festivals. Bright, fun, vibrant cascades of flowers mark your sentiment with fantastic colour!

Australia Day (26th January) – This countrywide party is one of the key annual festivities of Oz! Blue and yellow arrangements complement the colours likely to be painted on the faces of every man, woman and child at this epic event!

Christmas (25th December) – From Azerbaijan to Alaska, Christmas flowers are a great complement or alternative to the classic notion of gift giving in any country. Deep, sumptuous colours mixed with the fresh greens of nature are the most popular choice. However, unusual or contemporary designs in lighter, snow-like hues provide a deserving rival.

Japanese New Year (1st January) – Whilst New Year falls on the same day in many other countries, none view it with so much importance as the Japanese – a day of family to rival Christmas Day.
