Sending Flowers to a Girl: Dos and Don'ts

By Austin Clark 30th January 2018

You want to send flowers to a girl but are not sure what to send – or even if it's appropriate. Here's our guide of dos and don'ts when sending flowers.

Get Personal with the Message

It's tempting to send your girlfriend the lyrics of her favourite song. But take it from our office team: that's just too cheesy! She'll appreciate a heartfelt message of your own words – even a short, simple one – far more than borrowed lyrics.

Don't Be Too Keen

Had a brilliant first date? Met someone you really like? Don't rush it. Sending flowers too soon can feel a little desperate. Our office team suggests waiting until the 2nd or 3rd date before surprising her with a bouquet. Get the timing right and your flowers will mean so much more.

Prove You're Listening

Has she mentioned her favourite flower, scent, or perfume? Sending her a bouquet that includes something she's talked about shows you're really paying attention. Add a thoughtful note like "Your favourites x" and you'll win serious points.

Guys – Be Spontaneous!

Sure, she'll expect flowers on her birthday, Valentine's Day, or your anniversary. But the real magic? A spontaneous surprise bouquet sent for no reason at all. Just make sure you choose quality flowers from a real florist – a corner shop bunch won't cut it. Spontaneity plus quality = delight.
