Floral gifts are a colourful and thoughtful gesture, and as such they are highly appropriate when used to celebrate the birth of a baby. There are numerous options from which to choose when selecting the best new baby flowers to present to the proud parents. However, one must take several things into consideration when selecting such a floral gift, including the newborn's gender, as well as the season in which he or she was born.
Flower Selection By Season
Seasonal flowers are a great choice for a personalized way to celebrate the blessed event. Such arrangements are beautiful in their simplicity. For instance, if the infant was born during winter, snow white lilies in a vase tied with a pink or blue ribbon is a lovely traditional choice. If the baby has made his or her appearance in autumn, a beautiful arrangement of sunflowers is an outstanding option. A colourful bouquet of tulips for an infant who made his or her appearance in spring, is a choice that is difficult to top, and a floral gift of daisies or baby's breath for a summer birth is ideal.
Birth Month Flowers
Birth month flowers are a nice option when one is unsure of which type of flowers to choose. Similar to the way each month has its own birthstone, there is also a flower associated with each month of the year. Sending a floral gift featuring the flower that corresponds with the newborn's birth month is always a fool-proof option.
Flower Arrangements Featuring Accessories
New baby flowers that include accessories, such as a small stuffed bear, can turn an ordinary bouquet into something truly unique. For instance, a floral gift for a baby girl might feature pink roses around which the arms of a lovable plush white bear are placed. Chrysanthemums and carnations also work well for such an arrangement. If the new addition to the family is a boy, morning glories featuring a similar accessory make a delightful choice.
Balloons are another great accessory that give new baby flowers that extra touch. They may feature classic sayings such as 'It's A Girl,' or even the word 'Congratulations' with Mom and Dad in mind. Such options are limited only by the imagination of the giver.
Additional Considerations
One must also choose between an arrangement in the form of a bouquet, or one that is placed in its own hamper, vase, or ceramic pot. The latter is a practical choice for a busy new mother who may not have time to search for the most appropriate vase. A potted plant is also another nice option that should not be overlooked. For example, a floral gift in the form of a miniature potted rose display will not only serve to celebrate the baby's birth, but will also mark the baby's growth, which can enhance the parents' enjoyment of the gift.
Almost everyone in the world enjoys the beautiful appearance and fragrant scent of fresh flowers. For this reason such gifts are the nicest way for a person to express just how happy he or she is about the new arrival.
