It is unlikely that there will be an occasion on which a bouquet of flowers will turn out to be inappropriate. On any holiday, and without any reason, we give flowers to women and men, business partners and children, newlyweds and just close people. But in order for the bouquet to deliver even more positive emotions and joy, it is necessary to observe the etiquette how to give flowers properly.
Just recently, to give flowers wrapped in wrapping packaging, was considered a bad form. Now it is used at your discretion - if you wish, you can remove it, but even if you decide to leave the packaging, no one will say a word to you. For beautiful color packaging, it is best to use warm colors and high-quality rice paper. So the bouquet will look more solemn and original.
To begin with, you should know that it is necessary to carry the bouquet with buds down, so that the flowers do not break from the wind and do not lose their appearance. If a woman goes to a holiday or any other celebration with a man, then taking into account the etiquette, flowers should be given precisely by him. In this case, a woman should carry a bouquet or a basket of flowers for the holiday. They are transferred to men's hands only at the place of arrival of the celebration (on the staircase or in the foyer). In case the birthday girl is a man, flowers are presented by a woman. If a woman and a man are invited to the feast, the latter gives flowers to the culprit of the celebration only after the women greet each other.
If you are invited to visit relatives, friends or acquaintances, then the flower composition must be handed to the hostess. If a bouquet of flowers is prepared for a man, then they must be transferred to the hostess. Handing the hostess a flower arrangement, you need to make a little bow and say a few pleasant words.
At the time of delivery of a flower composition by a man, he must hold it in his left hand, so that the right one is absolutely free. But as soon as the congratulatory speech is finished, the bouquet is shifted to the right hand and neatly handed over. Remember that the stems of the composition should look strictly on the floor, and also that a well-composed bouquet assumes the existence of a postcard or business card. This applies to all holidays, including corporate parties. It is thanks to such postcards that the recipient learns from whom such wonderful flowers were obtained.
Do not forget about the color scheme. Red flowers are usually given to the second half and loved ones, and warmer shades are suitable for congratulating any person. They symbolize openness and respect. For children, fancy forms of compositions in orange and yellow tones are more suitable. There is also such a moment: women are better off giving round compositions, and for men, bouquets made in slightly elongated form will do.
If you decide to send a bouquet from the store with delivery, it will be right to give it in such a way - put your business card or greeting card with wishes in a basket of flowers or a ready bouquet.
