To get together and celebrate for a special occasion or for no reason at all, is a welcome respite from the daily grind. But as soon as you receive the invite to an intimate or grand dinner, the first thing that crosses your mind is what do you bring to the party. The answer that pops up is, of course, flowers.
However, did you ever wonder, what flowers work best for which party setting? Flowers hold a significance of their own. It’s like their colours have their own moods, their symbolism runs deep and every bloom makes you think and re-think about nature’s most surreal creations. So when you gift these floral beauties to someone, ensure that you make a statement with the flower’s personality and emotions.
Read on to know which flowers are truly fitting for your next big dinner.
An Intimate Dinner
Be it a date night with your partner or a close gathering with your family, make sure to bring all your love, warmth and care along in that beautiful bunch of blooms. Pick flowers that are a testament to these emotions and let them express your heart’s true sentiments for the people who matter the most – Roses, Carnations and Orchids make for a fitting choice. Their enthralling beauty and thoughtful symbolism will infuse a dreamy aura to the dinner.
A Work Gathering
Even though work get-togethers are ideal to switch off the mind and focus on bonding with your colleagues, it’s the struggle to choose the right gift that spoils the fun. And when you narrow down your gift search to flowers, it’s the right kind that makes all the difference. After all, it’s a work setting, you need to keep it professional, classy yet joyful. So go for flowers that make a chic statement – Lillies, Gerberas and Hydrangeas.
A Casual Affair
A starlit sky, a lip-smacking spread, the great company of your friends and a stupendous evening to look forward to. Everything is just so perfect when you have to meet your friends and unwind. Make sure that the flowers you bring for the host or hostess are equally perfect too. Keep a few filters in mind while looking for a delightful bouquet for your close ones. The flowers should be jovial, they should exude a sense of belonging and they must speak of your love and friendship. Here are some options for you – Sunflowers, Wildflowers and Peonies.
An Elite Spread
Your dinner party is going to be lavish and truly spectacular? Be prepared with a striking assortment of fresh flowers. Be it a black tie event, a cocktail party or something more formal, it’s imperative that the flowers you pick out complement the aura of the gathering. Something formal yet thoughtful. Something sophisticated yet contemporary. All in all, the flowers you choose should be in a league of their own – White roses, Calla lilies and Anthuriums.
A Themed Dinner
It’s in trend to be creative these days. So why should that not apply to a fancy dinner party as well? Nowadays, people love to host elaborate-themed dinners that give a peek into their persona and fun-loving character traits. So it’s your job to ensure that the floral bouquet you wish to give the host or hostess stays true to the theme and adds to the vibe of the celebration. It’s simple. Make a choice that’s based on the theme itself. A Mexican spread? Go for Dahlias. A ‘Breakfast for Dinner’ party? Choose fun and vibrant blooms like Sunflowers.
