What flowers should you give to those born in November?
Above we did not mention the most popular and beautiful autumn flower - chrysanthemum
. She is a symbol of those born in November, so we will talk about her in this section.
The chrysanthemum was brought from Asia and its veneration and symbolic meaning came from there. If you give a bouquet, you wish the recipient longevity, good health and perseverance, and emphasize his perfection and beauty. For a long time, chrysanthemums were grown only in the imperial garden, so they signify respect, status and greatness.
Gratitude
You can express your gratitude to the saleswoman in the store who helped with choosing a gift, or to the nurse or doctor at the clinic. Expensive flowers will be inappropriate here, as will a large number of flowers: three to five will be enough. Opt for a small mixed bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums, greenery and colorful carnations. Give gerberas or tulips - this way you will not break the rules of flower etiquette. If you want to express gratitude for something very significant, then order a bouquet of a large number of roses or give a pink orchid - in this case, buying expensive flowers will be appropriate.
Where can you buy flowers in November?
At the end of autumn, there are still summer residents who sell dahlias and chrysanthemums. But for floral diversity and quality, come to Semitsvetik. Weekly deliveries ensure that both delicate alstroemerias and persistent chrysanthemums are always fresh and beautiful and will delight you for 2-3 weeks.
You can always order florists a composition to congratulate a man: your lover, dad, boss or colleague. The masters know the requirements for men's ensembles, and if you tell us about the character of the recipient, they will put together a truly unique ensemble that will reflect the individuality of the recipient.
Congratulations
A festive bouquet should be bright, so choose flowers in rich colors. For example, burgundy and yellow roses with greenery or red roses and yellow gerberas. By the way, there will be purple carnations or multi-colored tulips collected in a cheerful spring bouquet. You can combine roses, gerberas and alstomerias, adding a little greenery. A very nice bouquet of yellow fragrant lilies. If you have chosen a round bouquet, then do not forget that the number of flowers should be large, and the stems should be shortened so that the bouquet is dense.
They say that a given flower or floral arrangement carries a certain meaning. Previously, people even confessed their feelings to each other through flowers. In addition to the meanings of flowers, there is also a certain fashion in floristry. What our mothers and grandmothers received as a gift is bad manners now, but what our contemporaries give each other was hardly appreciated a couple of centuries ago.
It just so happens that red
is originally the color of love, the color of a trembling heart. If you intend to tell your recipient about your love and passion with a bouquet, feel free to choose red flowers.
White
the color is innocent and gentle. That is why most brides prefer bouquets of white, beige and pale tones. A white flower conveys hope for reciprocity and tender feelings for the recipient of the bouquet.
Pink
flowers are a symbol of elegance and fidelity. The giver of a bouquet with elements of pink communicates his romantic feelings and sympathy.
Yellow
flowers (no matter what anyone says) are neither a symbol of separation nor a call for it. Let's remember everyone's favorite daffodils, gerberas or freesias. Yellow is the color of strength, sun and charge of light, which you decided to share with the recipient.
There are also some stereotypes associated with the choice of the color or bouquet itself. Many people mistakenly believe that by giving a lush bush, instead of an elegant one flower, they will instantly gain recognition and love. Unfortunately, the size of the donated composition hardly guarantees one or another attitude. Is there a concept of floral fashion, what bouquets should be given and how to decorate them - said florists who shared their expert opinion.

If we single out the three main pillars of floristry now, they will be bouquets of peonies, European bouquets and, of course, roses.
Bouquets with peonies have been in the top of the most popular gifts for a couple of years now. Despite the fact that our peonies appear only in May, this does not stop the girls and they dream of peonies all year round. And men, of course, are looking for a way to please their loved ones and order bouquets of Dutch peonies, which are delivered all year round. Probably every second store visitor asks the question: “Do you have peonies?” And they take soft pink bouquets, despite the prices.
The second trend that we continue to enjoy is minimalist European bouquets. The difference between these bouquets is in their simple shapes, small dimensions (50 centimeters in diameter) and method of decoration. It is when composing European bouquets that all attention is paid to the handle - the stems of the flowers. No paper or packaging, just a beautiful pen, which becomes the main decoration of the bouquet. It is decorated with ribbons, fabric or even greenery. European bouquets with adras handle are very popular among our clients. They look very stylish and patriotic.
The third constant trend remains the classic - roses. Roses are always appropriate. Roses have long been regarded as a classic expression of love. Their main advantage is that they are available for sale all year round. And of course, roses can be purchased in any color and required size. It is only important to know what exactly your woman wants.
An important point is how you care for the presented bouquet. Many people simply put flowers in water. Don’t be lazy, make an oblique cut as soon as you are about to put the flowers in water - this will save their life and open the weathered capillaries of the stem. No scissors - they survive the aforementioned capillaries. Only a sharp knife and an oblique cut - this way the feeding area will be larger.

Previously, people bought simple bouquets and bunches of flowers from us. Over time, we all began to notice that people sometimes want something more beautiful and elegant. Then every florist began to figure out how to attract attention to his bouquet. About ten years ago, our bazaar mostly sold universal flowers - roses, carnations, gladioli. But people began to want more exotic beauty. Then we all started ordering alstroemerias, orchids and other flowers. And every year we come up with something new. Last year, for example, they even made flowers for the bridesmaids’ hands.
If you look at the most popular flowers at the market, they are roses. Almost always you can sell a rose to a man, even just visiting a market. Some guys are afraid to give their girls one flower each - they might think that he doesn’t feel sorry for her money, he’s just saving money. But still, some guys come just for roses. They will take one, but it will be expensive, Dutch. It will stand for a long time and be pleasing to the eye, and some will also smell nice.
Every shop here tries to prepare something different. Some have large bouquets, some have wild flowers, some make baskets. Everyone tries to attract buyers with something of their own. Of course, our prices go up on holidays, but people still come and buy. On March 8th, the most popular fragrant spring flowers are hyacinths, tulips, and freesias. You definitely can't go wrong with them.
Flowers for business partner
Business pragmatic ladies, despite their outward coldness and prudence, nevertheless always remain women. And, like all women, they love flowers. A bouquet for a business woman is usually round and made up of tulips, gerberas and roses. The main thing is that the bouquet combines contrasting and bright colors: red, yellow, burgundy. You can limit yourself to a mono bouquet, for example, of a large number of roses of the same color. Your gift will certainly be appreciated.
For men - business partners, the bouquet can consist of gladioli, because the basis of any men's bouquet is vertical. The color scheme should be bright, pastel colors are excluded.
Get well
American psychologists conducted research and proved that when the attending hospital doctor wore a funny clown nose on rounds, the patients recovered faster. Therefore, when choosing flowers for a sick person, choose flowers of warm colors that inspire optimism and uplift the mood: orange gerberas, yellow tea roses, red tulips, and be sure to put a small funny toy and sweets in the bouquet or basket. When giving a flower gift in person, a clown nose or just a smile is also welcome.
