A pearl wedding anniversary is a huge achievement of thirty years of commitment and love which should be celebrated. The traditional gifts for a pearl wedding anniversary are anything based around pearls or mother-of-pearl. Popular gifts are tie pins and jewellery as well as antique compacts and snuff boxes. However you can opt for flowers instead.

Choosing flowers as a way of acknowledging wedding anniversaries is a perfect way to show love and appreciation to your partner. A flower delivery service can be a great surprise for a wedding anniversary and by using online florists you can tailor your bouquet to reflect the tastes and personality of your partner. There are also symbolic flowers that can be chosen to mark the occasion. Sweet pea is traditionally chosen to represent the thirtieth anniversary.

Large bouquets are timelessly romantic and online flower shops can send flowers across the UK offering choice that will suit all budgets and tastes. Whether your partner loves romantic roses to contemporary sunflowers or gerberas you will find something for everyone. You can search out specific blooms to add that extra personal touch.

The finishing touches are also very important. How your bouquet is presented and gift wrapped will add to the effect. You can choose from papers, bows, ribbons, gift baskets and even add a balloon or other gift to make the flowers all the more special. These extra details show planning and thoughtfulness and will always be well received.

At eFlorist.co.uk we send flowers by post and have an extensive online flower shop.

Birthday flowers delivery is a popular choice of gift for celebrating a birthday. These days there are so many flowers to choose from at online florists it can be quite daunting. If you want to ensure that your birthday flower gifts are guaranteed to delight the recipient you can make it extra personal by choosing flowers that relate to their star sign:

Libra – 24th September to 23rd October

This is one of the most desired star signs as it falls at the zenith of the year when the harvest is collected. Libra represents harmony and balance which is reflected in the scales of the Libran sign.

Hydrangeas with their star-shaped pom poms and wooden stems perfectly reflects the balance of opposites which equally reflects Libra.

Scorpio – 24th October to 22nd November

Scorpios are the most intense sign of the zodiac being both passionate and powerful. However they are extremely emotional and sensitive. They can exceed all expectations when inspired and have a higher chance of becoming a genius compared to other signs.

Scorpios will love to be indulged with a beautiful bouquet of deep red peonies. Passionate red and their luscious shape symbolise romance and also power.

Sagittarius – 23rd November to 21st December

Sagittarians are bursting with energy and are an independent of spirit. They are optimistic and ambitious and often find great luck in life.

When choosing a gift to celebrate a wedding anniversary most people will be familiar with traditional gifts that can be given such as china, paper or wood depending on the year. However many are unaware that an online flower delivery could make the perfect present. For each anniversary year there is a corresponding flower making a bouquet of flowers a beautiful and thoughtful gift.

In addition to giving flowers as a wedding anniversary gift you can use a flower delivery service to celebrate any anniversary. It will be seen as a truly romantic gesture and by selecting an appropriate flower your partner will be impressed by the consideration and research you have applied to your gift.

Traditionally, anniversary flowers are given each year in the first ten years. Following that a relationship is marked in increments of five years until thirty years is reached. After thirty years the anniversary is marked by flowers every ten years. There is a wide selection available for each anniversary so that it is possible to buy a beautiful bouquet from an online flower shop.

You can vary your bouquet to give it a modern twist rather than sticking to a traditional format. Roses for example can be given for a fifteenth anniversary but you can make it more contemporary using multi-coloured blooms.

Search online florists for specific flowers as they will offer the best range of blooms and bouquets. At eFlorist.co.uk we have a wide selection of flowers to choose from and deliver across the UK.

There are many flowers that are woven into our history. When choosing a flower delivery service it can be easy to forget that the flowers that we see on a regular basis often have a long and rich history. Here is a short overview of four flowers that represent the four nations with the United Kingdom:

The Rose

The rose was first chosen to represent England many centuries ago during the Civil War. The red rose was the flower emblem of the Royal House of Lancaster and the white rose represented the Royal House of York. When the War of the Roses ended King Henry VII combined the two roses into one red and white rose known as the Tudor Rose.

The Thistle

During the reign of Alexander III Scotland adopted the thistle as its flower emblem. Folklore says that when the Norwegian army led by King Haakon landed on the shores of Scotland, they took off their shoes so that they could creep silently upon the sleeping Scots. However it is believed that they stood on the spiky thistles crying out in pain.

The Daffodil

The word for Daffodil and Leek are the same in Welsh and it is believed that this may be the reason it was chosen as the Welsh national flower emblem.

The Shamrock

It is said that St Patrick chose this flower as Ireland’s flower emblem who used the plant to display the principles of the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and is believed to bring good luck.

When choosing birthday flowers it can make the gesture all the more special by choosing flowers that represent a person’s star sign. Using inspiration from the stars here are some ideas for flower deliveries for cancerians, leos and virgos:

Cancer – 22nd June to 22nd July

Cancer is often described as one of the most emotional of the signs of the zodiac. They are often incurably romantic and you can sum up the cancerian personality in one word –  ‘sensitive’. In addition they are sociable, patient and loving.

These generous souls will love to be shown your appreciation of their thoughtfulness and loving nature with flowers by post. They will adore bouquets including the delphinium named after its dolphin shaped blooms.

Leo – 23rd July to 22nd August

This is the most extrovert, dominant and creative of all the star signs. Leos are also generous, warm hearted and loving. These honourable, strong and confident individuals think and act on a grand scale sponging up the limelight.

Match your flower delivery to the Leo’s big personality by choosing eye catching sunflowers. These blooms have the grand proportions, open sunny faces and symbolise happiness and affection.

Virgo – 23rd August to 23rd September

Virgos display strong attention to detail and are renowned for their diligent and meticulous characters. They can be very shy and modest but beneath the reserved and unassuming exterior they have a witty personality.

This intellectual, practical and often serious sign will love flower deliveries that appeal to their light-hearted side. Choose the daisy-like aster which has a wildflower quality.

At eFlorist.co.uk we offer same day flower deliveries.

In the UK, we love sending birthday flowers and an online florist enable you to quickly and easily order the perfect blooms for your nearest and dearest. There is a staggering choice of blooms available for a flower delivery service and it can seem overwhelming when trying to choose an appealing bouquet. Here are three of the top favourite flowers to help you choose:

Chrysanthemum

Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Mum’, the Chrysanthemum was first found in Japan and China and its name can be traced back to ‘krus anthemon’ which means gold flower in Greek. These days you can get these flowers in all colours from a neutral white to a vibrant brick red. There are a wide range of sizes and shapes available from spiky to small buttons to large blooms.

Gerbera

This flower originates from South Africa and is actually pronounced ‘Jur-bra’. This hugely popular flower delivery can be found in over 200 varieties which includes various petal shapes and colours. Germini or mini Gerbera are recent additions and are easier to use in flower arrangements.

They adore bright light and warm atmospheres.

Gypsophila or Baby’s Breath?

Its botanical name can be translated as ‘lover of chalk’ and in chalk this flower loves to grow. It is native to countries in Eastern Europe and is most recognised as a white flower but can be found in pale pink and cream.

Water should be kept clean for a flowers bloom to last.

At eFlorist.co.uk you can buy flowers online and choose from our extensive range of blooms.

If you have never sent flowers by post to a man you may find it something of a minefield. After all, although men do like flowers it’s important to appeal to their masculine preferences. Here are some tips for getting it just right:

The Perfect Occasion

Think about the type of occasion you are celebrating with a flower delivery; birthday flower gifts or flowers to congratulation, or for love and holidays should all be bright with an exciting design. Flowers for apologies or sympathy need to be toned down.

Appealing Colour

Men love bold, bright colours whereas pastel shades should be reserved for women. Blues, purples, oranges, reds and yellows are great choices. You will find that flowers such as sunflowers, irises, gerbera daisies and roses will all be well received. You can also use the soothing and neutral colour green to great effect. Choose from flowers such as green carnations and cymbidium orchids.

Shapes and Contours

You can create extra interest by choosing flowers with an eye catching shape. Lots of men enjoy architecture so you can intrigue him with flowers and designs he has never seen. Try bearded iris, lupine, orchids and bird or paradise.

Masculine Scents

Men will love earthy, musky and spicy scents. Flowers with a musky or spicy appeal are lupine, delphinium, tulips, some roses, bluebells and carnations. For fruity scents there are snap dragons and hyacinths. Sweet and heavily scented flowers should be avoided. Add some eucalyptus, balsam, pine or cedar to create an evergreen scent.

At eFlorist.co.uk we offer London flower delivery via our online florist.

Most of us will have sent flowers at one time or another. It’s something we do on special occasions, and until recently it was generally women who received them. However, this appears to have changed over the last decade or so, and this can be put down to the rise of the Metrosexual man, who – if we are to believe the media – doesn’t have a problem if a flower delivery turns up on his doorstep.

Having said that, if you are thinking of sending the man in your life flowers for his birthday, or just to let him know how much you love him, there’s a good chance he will appreciate them, but if you are in a relatively new relationship, it’s probably best to have a think about it before you send them.

If your guy is a Phil Mitchell type – all testosterone, macho posturing and grunted sentences – the chances are he may not like to have flowers delivered, but you never know! He may be a sensitive soul beneath that Neanderthal exterior, so why not take a chance and try sending flowers online? If you are unsure of what type of flowers to send him, talk to your florist and they will be happy to advise you.
