The quick answer: You don't need to know flower names to send the right bouquet. Tell your florist what the person is like, such as their style, hobbies and favourite colours. They'll match it to one of five floral personalities: Artistic, Natural, Traditional, Romantic or Dramatic.
Why personalized gifts matter more than ever
Shoppers are moving away from one-size-fits-all gifts. They want something that feels made for the person receiving it. An Ipsos Canada poll found that finding a meaningful gift is a priority for 8 in 10 (78%) Canadian gift shoppers. The catch is that most people don't have time to hunt for something unique.
Flowers solve that problem. They're one of the easiest gifts to personalize, because the mix of size, shape, colour, texture and container makes each arrangement one of a kind.
Do I need to know flower names to order?
No. Many people feel unsure ordering flowers because they can't name the blooms or describe what they want. Others play it safe and order the same thing every time. You already know the most important thing, which is the person. Describe their personality to your florist and they'll design around it.
