Occasion Flower Guide

Choosing flowers is like choosing words — every occasion has its perfect bloom. Here is our occasion flower guide to help you find the most fitting floral gift.

Birthday

Recommended: Sunflowers (joy and vitality), Roses (love and appreciation), Gerberas (happiness), Tulips (elegance). Avoid: White flowers (considered inauspicious in some cultures).

Wedding

Recommended: White Roses (purity), Peonies (prosperity), Hydrangeas (abundance), Baby’s Breath (everlasting love). Bridal bouquets often feature white and green palettes, symbolising purity and new beginnings.

Opening Ceremony / New Business

Recommended: Orchids (business prosperity), Lilies (smooth sailing), Anthuriums (passion and success). Traditional opening flower baskets often use red and gold tones, placed on either side of the entrance.

Graduation

Recommended: Sunflowers (bright future), Lilies (success ahead), Calla Lilies (achievement), Daisies (hope). Small graduation bouquets that photograph well have become increasingly popular.

Valentine’s Day

Red roses remain the classic Valentine’s choice, but recent trends favour mixed bouquets: roses with peonies, tulips, or dried flowers. Budgets range from HK$680 for a single-rose presentation box to HK$3,000+ for designer arrangements.

Mother’s Day

Carnations are the traditional Mother’s Day flower — pink for gratitude, white for remembrance. Modern trends lean towards peonies, hydrangeas, and mixed flower boxes.
