Flowers truly have a magical way of making moments feel more special. Whether we’re celebrating a joyous occasion or comforting someone during a tough time, flowers seem to say what words sometimes can’t. We see them everywhere, from places of worship to dinner tables, hospital rooms, weddings, and even during farewells. They are a constant companion in our journey through life.
Here in Singapore, flowers play a big part in many of our everyday experiences. At Hilton Gifts, we believe in spreading joy and heartfelt sentiments through beautifully curated flowers and gift hampers in Singapore. Whether you're celebrating love, friendship, or simply want to make someone’s day, knowing what flowers to choose can make all the difference.
Why are flowers always in style?
Flowers bring beauty and comfort into our lives. They lift our spirits, add colour to events, and remind us that someone cares. That’s why they never go out of style – they’re both meaningful and timeless.
In Singapore, flowers have long been part of our celebrations and traditions. From birthdays to anniversaries, and even corporate events, you’ll find blooms tucked into every special moment.
Picking the right flowers: A quick guide
If you’ve ever wondered which flowers to give for a certain occasion, you’re not alone. Choosing the right flowers doesn’t have to be overwhelming; just keep the message you want to send in mind.
Here are a few helpful tips to get started:
- Romance? Think red roses
If you're hoping to spark a little romance or deepen your relationship, red roses are a classic choice. A single red rose can express admiration, while a whole bouquet says, “I’m head over heels!”
Planning a romantic surprise for your partner or spouse? Then red roses are your safest bet, as anything less might be met with a raised eyebrow! However, if you’re going on a first date, showing up with a dozen red roses might come off a bit strong. In that case, ask your florist for something sweet yet subtle.
- Friendship? Choose yellow
Want to brighten a friend’s day? Yellow roses are perfect. Many people still associate roses only with romance, but yellow ones symbolise joy, cheerfulness, and friendship.
They’re a thoughtful way to say, “Thank you for being you,” or “I’m thinking of you.” Whether it's a birthday, a small celebration, or just a random day to show appreciation, yellow roses are always a warm and cheerful option.
Arrangement or bouquet?
This is a question many people ask when gifting flowers: Should you go for an arrangement or a bouquet?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Bouquets are perfect for casual and romantic gifts. They’re often hand-held and feel more personal.
- Arrangements usually come in a vase or box and are suited for formal occasions or hospital deliveries, where the recipient may not have the means to trim and place flowers themselves.
No matter what you choose, both are lovely. It all depends on the situation and the message you want to convey.
But why stop at flowers? Pair your blooms with gift hampers for that extra touch. Hampers can include anything from chocolates and snacks to spa items or wine, which is perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, or festive celebrations.
Combining flowers with a curated hamper shows extra thought and care. It’s a great way to personalise your gift and make someone feel truly special.
