What is an appropriate gift of flowers to give a friend after a performance?

Question

I am looking to give a friend flowers for a performance she is doing this weekend. We are friends of about a year, but nothing romantic (just good friends). She has an amazing voice, and I'm sure will steal the show. I am looking for a suggested amount/ type/ or anything else that might help with showing my appreciation! Thanks :)

Answer 1

When I read your message the first thing that came to mind was a beautiful bunch of white lilies - probably because you said that you were just friends.



Different flowers have over the years developed different meanings. Traditionally red roses symbolise passion, yellow friendship and the like. So, bearing this is mind I had a quick look to see that red roses also means respect and courage, so they might be appropriate.



When I looked up white lilies (lily of the valley) the meaning is Sweetness; Humility; Return of happiness. So, this is also appropriate.



Included is a website where you can find the meanings off a whole range of flowers. Of course, noone says that you have to abide by these meanings and I am sure a mixed bunch within your price range would be very well received.



Good luck!

If you both understand there's nothing romantic about it, I think anything other than a giant bouquet of red roses is fine. What's her personality like? Is she bubbly? Try an arrangement with yellow or orange flowers somewhere in the mix. Quiet and serious? Purple or red. Sweet? Try white.

I wouldn't get flowers of just one color; try a colorfully arranged bouquet. Stick in a cute quirky note to offset the flowers, letting her know it's just a friendly gesture.

The best thing to do is decide when you go to the florist. Tell them how much you'd like to spend and look through what they have. Choose things that are colorful and make sure to include something that smells good. Quality and personal choices are much more important than the size.



Gerbera daisies are pretty and young, not too serious or stuffy. You can miz those with all sorts of other flowers.



Just choose flowers that remind you of her personality. She'll appreciated that more than something common.

Don't laugh but I was a florist and yellow is the colour you should stick to.That colour signifies friendship.



Yellow roses would be perfect, tell the florist what it's for and he/she will arrange them perfectly.

I did a few awards shows and yellow and white always went down well. Red roses from a florist are so been there done that.

It relies what type of near buddy you're! If you're a near buddy who needs she might be a female friend, flora are well! You would do roses or lilies! If you're strictly simply "peers" and do not want to be greater than that, I might keep on with a few carnations or steer clear of flora. Me being a lady, if a near man buddy gave me flora for my birthday, I would possibly take it that he is fascinated with me greater than a buddy. Good items from a man buddy who particularly simply desires to be a buddy might be like film tickets, pass out and consume or favourite retailer present playing cards!!! Hope this is helping!

Answer 6

Two dozen roses---red of course. To love a person's performance is acceptable in any social situation--and I am sure she will be floored and appreciative as any performer would be to receive such admiration and graceful appreciation for their hard work. Bravo my friend!

Answer 7

flowers and maybe a card.
