How to Choose Flowers for Different Occasions

Bouquets and floral arrangements are often the perfect accompaniment for events and can make a dramatic difference in the look and feel of the space. As many flowers have different connotations, moods and emotions they can evoke, it is important to make sure the floral options you choose fit the theme and purpose of the event you are planning. While roses may work well for a wedding or in a bridal bouquet, they may not be the best choice for occasions like funerals or charity events.

At PJs Flowers, we have decades of experience designing exceptional floral arrangements for weddings and charity events. If you are looking to make your next big event the best one yet, here are some ways flowers can make a dramatic difference for your guests.

Weddings

Weddings are some of the events most associated with flowers, and beautifully designed floral arrangements can go a long way in making a couple’s special day be one to remember forever. As a universal symbol of love, roses are often a great first choice to include in weddings. While a very common choice, couples looking to utilize the beauty of roses can find some creative ways to incorporate them. The traditional red rose can find new life as a dramatic centerpiece, creating attention-grabbing focal points for guests.

The variations in the colors of roses also leaves room for different emotions and moods to be explored. White roses are a popular choice, helping to symbolize purity as well as innocence. They can work particularly well in a bridal bouquet, signifying eternal love and coordinating beautifully with the bride’s gown. Whether it is a small gathering or huge ceremony, the addition of beautiful floral arrangements can make any wedding memorable.

Funerals

Flowers are often a great way to show sympathy or to lift the spirits of those dealing with hardship and loss. Whether for a funeral, memorial or even someone recovering from illness or surgery, flowers are a great way to show a grieving family that they are not alone. While many flowers can be good choices to express condolences, some like lilies and daises are often excellent first choices.

Like roses for weddings, lilies are often what come to mind when deciding what flowers to send to support those enduring tough times. For funerals, lilies often symbolize innocence and a peaceful transition for the departed and can instill hope and peace in those left behind. Lilies are also a very versatile choice, and work well centering other flowers or on their own. In the same way, daisies are also a great option, signifying purity and new beginnings, and their youthful connotation often makes them the first choice to support families grieving the loss of children or infants. An expertly designed floral arrangements can encourage and uplift those who are undergoing difficult circumstances and bring light to what is inevitably a dark time.

Business Events

While not as typically associated with flowers as weddings and memorials, floral arrangements can be a great addition for your next corporate or nonprofit event. A beautifully designed venue can inspire guests and clients, just as much as a poorly decorated event can detract and distract from the mission and purpose of your organization.

Flowers have proven health benefits and can be an easy way to further assert the purpose of an event. Pink roses and sunflowers can be used to evoke childhood and innocence, and work well for foundations serving the needs of children or for educational events. As events are often costly and may be used to garner donations or support for your business, choosing seasonal flowers is a cost-effective option that also ensures your floral arrangements will look their best and most vibrant. Peonies and lilacs are great choices for spring events, and for fall and winter look towards petunias, jasmine and Christmas roses.

Whether you are hosting a bridal party, memorial service or charity event, flowers can often make the difference in the happiness and enjoyment of your guests and elevate any event.
