Rules to Follow for Gifting Flowers

By Dennis Duncan


One of the most common complaints you will hear women throwing around nowadays is that men simply aren't romantic enough. Contrary to popular belief, very few women can be swayed by gift cards and expensive diamonds. What women truly want is an emotional experience, something which money cannot buy. Fortunately though, there is a very cost-effective way to rekindle your romance: flowers.

Ever since the art of courting was invented people have been using flowers to convey their feelings instead of using their words; even language has its limitations when it comes to emotions. The practice of giving flowers even developed into a language during the Victorian era; every flower had a specific meaning associated with it. Bouquets were more than just a bunch of pretty flowers... they were a message meant for the young lady on the receiving end. Before you run off to the nearest Santa Monica flower shop however take some time to truly understand what you will be doing.

Even though flowers have become somewhat of a clich nowadays, it still doesn't take away from their value and how well they can convey romantic feelings in a very subtle way. It goes without saying that you can't simply visit a Santa Monica flower shop and grab the first bouquet you lay your eyes on. The selection needs to be well thought-out and very careful; after all, it needs to be something special in appropriate as the flowers you choose will serve to communicate your deepest feelings.

In any case, before visiting the nearest Santa Monica flower shop it would be wise to invest in a flower dictionary, and perhaps even get one for your partner. It is a very easy and cost-effective way of determining which flowers to assemble your bouquet from, not to mention that it makes sure the message brought by the flowers will be correctly interpreted. After all, there are actually some flowers which are used to communicate rejection, and having your love search through the dictionary and think she just got dumped can be rather inappropriate.

All things said, before running off to a Santa Monica flower shop take the time to at least find a list of which flowers are commonly used to communicate which romantic feelings, and start your way up from there. In time, it could become a real tradition between the two of you and will definitely bring the romance into the relationship.
