<\/a>What\u2019s the best way for a man to make a lasting impression on a woman? Recent consumer research <\/span>by the Society of American Florists (SAF)\u00a0<\/span>shows\u00a0<\/span>that the answer to making a memorable impact is right under his nose \u2013 through flowers. In fact, 77% of women can remember the last time they received flowers, and 81% say receiving flowers makes them feel special.<\/p>\nGiving great floral gifts, however, still remains a mystery to most men. To help them out, SAF\u00a0offers\u00a0advice to guys on how to send just the right message to the woman in his life \u2013 a new girlfriend, that special someone, Mom or a good friend:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The New Thing. <\/strong>Show your new romantic interest exactly how you feel with a\u00a0passionate arrangement filled with hot pinks, oranges and reds. Add a thoughtful card to help communicate just the right sentiment.<\/li>\n
- The Real Deal. <\/strong>Flowers are intimately \u2013 and internationally \u2013 linked with the art of romance, and for good reason. As relationships grow, flowers become symbols of different events and milestones in our lives together. Take note of her favorite flowers \u2013 the varieties at your wedding, flowers you sent her when you first started dating or the ones she buys for herself. Those will have great meaning and impact.
\n<\/strong><\/li>\n- Leading Ladies.<\/strong>\u00a0No woman \u2013 especially moms, grandmas and sisters \u2013 should live without a little TLC. A fabulous flowering plant or a garden-style arrangement with greens and soft pastel hues \u2013 no matter what the flower \u2013 will send the message that you care.<\/li>\n
- The Gal Pal. <\/strong>Flowers that show you\u2019re thinking of someone, but not in a sensual way, have a natural, just-picked feeling. Ask your florist for a selection of garden-style flowers or a bright bold color palette that is fun and whimsical. A basket with a mix of flowering and green plants delivered to her door or office is also a sure fire winner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Research shows that 92% of women say the best reason to receive flowers is “just because.” You don\u2019t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. Make an occasion by sending flowers to the woman when they’re not expecting it. They\u2019ll never forget it.<\/p>\n
Want to try something trendy? Talk to you florist about these three top design styles:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Monobotanic. <\/strong>Arrangements featuring only one type of flower (such as all roses<\/a>, tulips<\/a>, lilies<\/a> or iris<\/a>) are in style and may even include different colors of the same flower in the vase or container.
\n<\/strong><\/li>\n- Monochromatic.<\/strong> Pick a color, any color and stick with it! If her favorite color is pink, for example, ask your florist for a fresh bouquet of different flowers in the same color range.
\n<\/strong><\/li>\n- Bunches of Texture. <\/strong>Ask your florist to select complementary flowers of various textures to place in bunches in an elegant glass container. This unique look has a bold, contemporary feel and will surely provide the \u201cwow\u201d factor.<\/li>\n

- \n
- Be Spontaneous.\u00a0<\/strong>You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. In fact, most women say \u201cno reason\u201d is the best reason to get flowers.<\/li>\n
- Size Doesn\u2019t Matter.\u00a0<\/strong>Trust your florist to help you send an arrangement that is appropriate for the occasion. Bouquets both big and small can make a bold statement. It\u2019s the sentiment that makes the impact.<\/li>\n
- Score Big Points.<\/strong>\u00a0Surprise her by sending a bouquet to her office, and see how much attention you\u2019ll get because of the attention she got.<\/li>\n
- Relax.\u00a0<\/strong>Flowers don’t have to mean commitment. Women know when an arrangement simply means that you care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The most important thing to remember is that you simply cannot go wrong with flowers. Your florist is there to help, but you\u2019ll get all the credit.<\/p>\n
