What to Consider When Buying Birthday Flower Bouquets in Singapore?
1. Recipient’s Preference: style and colour
❊ Lush and elegant look: Big bouquet of hydrangeas, peonies or her favourite roses
❊ Unique/ bold colour combinations: Textured bouquet with a mixture of seasonal flowers, fillers and foliage.
❊ Soft pastels: Light pink roses, light blue flowers, soft peach toned flowers, baby breath. Opt for touch of yellow or purple for a little contrast.
❊ Clean and modern: Choose less saturated colours like menta roses, blush pink, light purple, ivory and white. Avoid foliage for that clean and tidy aesthetic.
❊ "Lucky" colours for elders: Go for bright colours like red, yellow, orange or pink. The bouquet should give off a fresh and lively feel. Avoid pale colours like very light pink or white.
2. Flower Longevity (at room temperature in Singapore)
❊ Longest lasting fresh flowers: chrysanthemums, phalaenopsis orchids, lilies (unbloomed), sweet william, carnations, peacock/phoenix, ginger flower, alstroemerias, proteas, anthuriums, hypericums, premium roses
❊ Medium lasting fresh flowers: roses, peonies, freesias, hydrangeas, bloomed lilies, eustomas, gerberas, chamomile, calla lilies, baby breath, lace flower, wax flower, asters
❊ Not lasting at all: iris, tulips, astilbes, matthiolas, scabiosas, delphiniums, ranunculus

What Are Some Other Flower-Related Gifts That Are Not Flowers?
For those who want something beyond traditional bouquets:
✿ Floral Adjacent ✿
Modern flowers are bred for their look and size, less for their scents. To include fragrance as part of your gift or even the center of your gift, consider things like:
1. Aromatherapy diffusers
2. Scented candles
3. Perfume
Besides the above, there are also other more practical items such as flower shaped home ware and stationery:
4. Cups and bowls
5. Lamps
6. Notebooks/ Journals
✿ Experiential Options For A Shared Memory ✿

Flower Arranging Workshop:
Some vendors are under Skillsfuture, so if both of you are citizens, you can utilize your credits for the workshop! These are the vendors offering WSQ programmes under Skillsfuture - Fleuriste, Flowers by Terra, June Floral. While there are more vendors, some lean heavily towards design skills like ikebana which we feel is not suitable for newbies. These 3 are trusted retail florists selling everyday bouquets and arrangements while also offering Skillsfuture programmes.
2. Spend a day at the nurseries:
Shop for potted plants that you can bring home to grow. Be mind blown by the varieties available! In this brief guide we've only included the larger ones so you can spend at least a few hours there.

Is It OK To Combine Anniversary, Birthday and/or Holiday Gifts?
The short answer: Yes, but with finesse.
1. Gift sets:
A small to medium bouquet with a handwritten card as the primary gift + festive food for the occasion such as a small cake/chocolates/snacks/wine. Alternatively for the anniversary aspect, other non-food items typically added are plushies, balloons, perfume, accessories and sample tea gift sets.
2. Spend time together
Celebrate one of the occasion together with a free to low cost activity or a day out instead of gifts.
When To Avoid:
1. If the recipient values distinct recognition of each occasion. Some holidays could be really important depending on one's cultural background, religion and family traditions. In this cases, it should be discussed before any assumptions.
2. For milestone birthdays/anniversaries (50th birthday, 10th anniversary etc.) These are significant points in a lifetime that should be recognised on its own.
