Sending Flowers for Baby Boy and Girl

What a wonderful occasion it is in when a new baby is welcomed into the world. Celebrate this moment by sending the new parents a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Before you do, however, take time to read out handy hints on sending new baby flowers and discover why some flowers should be avoided at all costs and how best to gift the blooms.

Baby Flower Options

When it comes to the colour of new baby flowers, pastels are always a popular choice. Soft blues pinks and violets give a sense of serenity to any room. White roses in a bouquet of pastel colours are also a fantastic option and evoke an ambience of calm and baby-like innocence. If the baby has been named after a flower such as Daisy, Rose, or Iris, you can either send a bouquet of just these flowers or just give a subtle nod to the name by choosing a bouquet featuring this flower among other complementing blooms. Although others may have had the same idea, the parents are sure not to mind as the flowers will serve to remind them of the wonderful name they have given to their baby boy or girl.

Flower Delivery from Afar

Are you too far away from the parents to give them a bouquet in person? Choose a reliable online flower shop and have the flowers delivered to their home. You may just wish to give the parents time to themselves before you go and visit the new baby and sending flowers by post is a perfect way to give the undoubtedly tired parents some space to themselves while showing how happy you are for them at the same time.

Beware Of Poisonous Blooms!

Surely a florist wouldn’t sell poisonous blooms? Although most flowers you find in florists are perfectly harmless to adults, there are some plants and blooms that need to be avoided if they are going to be in the vicinity of babies, toddlers, and animals. Daffodils, English Ivy, Easter lily, Leopard Lily, and several other types of flowers and greenery should be kept away from children and animals. Do your research and ask local florists which flowers are suitable to send to households with children and animals before you make a purchase.

Consider Added Extras

Although soft toys won’t be given to a new baby until they are much older, teddy bears also serve as cute décor for nurseries until the baby grows. Many online flower shops sell gifts to accompany their bouquets, and it would be a nice gesture to send a soft toy along with your chosen bouquet. You may also want to send a gift for the parents too such as chocolates or even a bottle of wine with which they can wet the bay’s head in your absence.

Flowers for Siblings

When a new brother or sister comes along, a sibling can often feel left out of all the celebrations. Make them feel extra special too by sending them a little bouquet of their own, congratulating them on becoming an older sister or older brother. This gesture is certain to make the existing child feel important and valued and proud to have the role of protector and friend to the new baby.

Swift Delivery for Fresher Flowers

You will certainly want the floral arrangement you send to be as fresh, fragrant and as beautiful as possible and so it is wise to choose a quick delivery option. Same day flower delivery or even next-day flower delivery can ensure that your blooms arrive beautifully fresh, ready to be appreciated by the lucky recipients.
