Sending birth flowers (new baby flowers) to hospitals

The birth of a baby is a very poignant time in a woman's life. After laboring for hours and sometimes even days, she is rewarded with the arrival of her bundle of joy. Bringing a human being into the world is an arduous task but you can help mom feel appreciated by sending new baby flowers to the hospital. Although she might be exhausted, she will be delighted to receive this wonderful token while she is still recovering. However, don't take it for granted and send any kind flowers to the new mother. Here are a few things you should consider before sending new baby flowers to the hospital.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SENDING FLOWERS TO HOSPITAL

• Timing

Timing is very important when sending new baby flowers to the hospital. If you wait too long to send them, you may be the one that ends being surprised as the mother may have been discharged by the time the flowers are delivered. Therefore, you should endeavour to send the flowers as soon as you find out that the baby has been born.

• Type of Flowers

Don't just send any kind of flowers to the new mother. Instead, you should aim to send flowers that are colourful and are synonymous with life. Colourful and lively flowers can do wonders, especially for a mother who is experiencing the "baby blues".

• Sex of the Baby 

It may not always be possible, but it would be good if you know the sex of the baby before sending the flowers. You certainly don't want to send the new mom a bouquet of pink flowers when she has given birth to a boy.

• The Birth Month

You might also consider the month the baby is born when sending new baby flowers. Just as there are birth stones, they are also birth flowers. Send the mother carnation or snowdrop flowers if the baby was born in January. These flowers are available in black, dark blue or red symbolises devoted love and consolation. If the baby was born in February, send the new mother violets or primroses which are available in violet, sky blue or yellow and symbolize modesty and faithfulness. If it's a March baby, send mom daffodils or jonquil, which are available in white or light blue. Daisies or sweet pea flowers are for April babies and are available in yellow and red. These flowers are symbolic of innocence and youth. If baby was born in the month of May, Lily of the Valley or Hawthorn flowers are ideal. They are available in yellow red and green. Roses are the birth month flowers for June babies and are available in many colours including pink, yellow, white and cream. Send mom gladiolas or poppies if she gave birth in August. These flowers are available in orange, red and light green. If it's a September baby, send mother aster or morning glory flowers, which are available in brown or deep blue. The flowers you should send for October babies are Calendar or cosmos. They are available in white and yellow. Send mom chrysanthemums for her November baby. Chrysanthemums are available in pink, red and yellow. Narcissus or Holly flowers are ideal for babies who are born in December and are available in indigo, green and greenish-blue.

Sending new baby flowers to hospital for a new mom can put a smile on her face after hours of arduous labor. Ensure that you choose the appropriate flowers and send them in good time before mom is discharged from the hospital. New baby flowers can brighten a dull hospital room and reassure mom that she has done a superb job!

Different Designs or Styles of Flower Arrangements and Bouquets

Flowers help us convey so many emotions and thoughts by sending them to the people we care about on special occasions or just to say you are thinking of them. They help us celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, the arrival of new babies and weddings. They also help us send our condolences when someone dies or help us to express our love to that special someone in our lives. Flowers can also brighten a room when someone is feeling lonely or sick.

Floral arrangements are works of art, crafted by florists from their imaginations and their eye for design and color. In Australia there are flower design schools for arranging flowers, there are also classes that teach the basics, including those that cover the types of styles and designs that make up most of the bouquets and arrangements you can buy at a flower shop.

Basic Floral Designs for Arrangements

All flower arrangements are made up from three basic designs, including:

Line Arrangement

Line arrangements - Designs in this category have minimal flowers and foliage in the focal area of the arrangement. It is an open form that places the emphasis on the beauty of the plant material, rather than flowers. Bare branches, decorative wood or a pine branch helps create a well-defined line.  Flowers and leaves are added for a dramatic effect.

Mass arrangements - This type of arrangement uses a generous amount and mix of flowers arranged in a vase. The arrangement is designed to be full, flowing and symmetrical. Types of arrangements in this category include the oval, triangular and circular, or fan shaped.

Line-Mass arrangements - Lots of plant material and flowers are used to give this design some depth. Plant material is arranged in an outline and in mass to create a focal point for the arrangement. It has gradual changes from the line at the periphery of the arrangement that moves to the center mass. These arrangements are open form with either symmetrical or asymmetrical balance.

Types of Floral Arrangements

While the types of flowers and their colors often make an arrangement come alive, they are put together with one of seven basic floral arrangement designs. These seven arrangements include:

Horizontal Arrangement

Horizontal arrangement - Flowers in this arrangement are usually placed in a shallow container and are centered around the focal flower in the center of the arrangement.  In most horizontal arrangements, the focal flower is usually a rose. Drooping flower branches are then added to each side of the focal flower.  Since this type of arrangement is low, it is mostly used for table centerpieces.

Vertical arrangement - This arrangement is very tall, made by using very tall stems of flowers and leaves in this arrangement. Tulips, roses and carnations are typically used in this sort of arrangement, with shorter filler flowers like forget-me-nots arranged around them to make the design balanced.

Triangular arrangement - Taller flower stems are placed at the center of this arrangement with shorter stems being used on all sides of the center stems to keep its triangular shape. Triangular arrangements are most commonly used for wedding ceremonies.

Oval arrangements - This arrangement uses the brightest and tallest flowers at the center of the design. The size and color of the flowers at are used are allowed to reduce gradually by degrees towards the sides. This arrangement has a formal structure, so they are most often used for formal occasions.

The Lazy 'S' arrangement - Also called Hogarth's curve, it is the most complex arrangement made. It requires skill and experience in order to make arrangements in the Lazy 'S' pattern. The flowers are arranged to form a 'S' shape in this design.

Minimal arrangement - As its name implies, this arrangement uses few flowers and emphasis the focal flower. It is one of the most popular arrangements made for indoor use.

Popular Arrangement Styles

When you shop for flowers, whether at a local flower shop or online, you will pick from many arrangements and bouquets that use different flowers and designs. However, there are four basic styles of arrangements you will come across no matter where you shop for flowers. They are:

Floral Bouquet

Floral Bouquets - A bouquet of flowers is easier to assemble that a floral arrangement and are a popular choice for many people. Bouquets made from roses are the most common, followed by carnations, gerberas, daisies and chrysanthemums.

Table Centerpieces - Centerpieces are made from horizontal floral arrangements and they are most often used on tables for more formal occasions such as dinner on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas or for wedding receptions.

Floral Baskets - These are floral arrangements done in wicker baskets of various depths and the flowers should be chosen on basis of the depth of the basket being used. They are popular gifts for occasions like Christmas, Mother's Day or for businesses to give to their clients. They may contain fruits or chocolates along with the flowers.

Floral Wreath

Floral Wreaths - This floral arrangement is made in the form of circular garland with flowers and foliage interwoven together. Wreaths traditionally indicate celebration or honor and are popular for funerals to honor the deceased. They are also used as welcome wreaths on doors for the holiday season, especially at Christmas time.

We've all had occasions to order flowers for a friend or a family member to send condolences or tell them we miss them, especially if we can't make it home for a holiday. Now that you are know the basics of floral arrangements and designs, you will be able to look at your choices more knowledgeably when you shop and pick out exactly which type of arrangement you want to send.

The Difference Between Funeral and Sympathy Flowers

One of the most common times to send flowers is when you hear about someone you know losing a loved one. If you cannot make it to the funeral, or if you are more acquainted with the family member or co-worker and you decide not to go to the funeral, you can send a sympathy bouquet to your co-worker or friend instead. Most people probably are not aware there is a difference between funeral and sympathy flowers.

What are Funeral Flowers?

Casket Spray

Funeral flower arrangements are usually sent to wherever the funeral is being held, whether it is a church, a funeral home, a crematory or at the gravesite. They are usually larger floral arrangements that are visible during the funeral or memorial service. There are many forms of funeral flowers including:

Funeral Wreaths

Wreath

Many people consider these funeral tributes and they usually shaped in a circle, but there are many other shapes and sizes as well. They are made from flowers arranged in a green wreath.

Funeral Cross

Funeral Cross

These are popular choices for funerals held at churches or to express personal sentiment. Funeral crosses are made in many sizes and cross shapes and are usually made with flowers being woven in a cross pattern.

Funeral Baskets

Funeral Basket

This arrangement makes it easy to carry the flowers from the funeral to the grave-site or home with the family if they wish to keep them. The flowers contained in the basket can reflect the deceased favourite flowers or they can consist of tasteful arrangement in a wicker basket. Check this site for more funeral flower arrangements.

What are Sympathy Flowers?

Sympathy Flowers

There are flowers for all occasions, including sympathy flowers are to convey your condolences to the family of the person who has died. Unlike funeral flowers, these arrangements go directly to the family of the deceased and are delivered to their home and not where the funeral or memorial service takes place. They can even be sent to their workplace, especially if they are a colleague.

Sympathy flowers can be sent at anytime after you've heard about the death of their loved one. You can send a tasteful arrangement of sympathy flowers to them before the funeral or after the funeral, if you only just heard about the passing of their family member. When you do order online on https://spearwoodflorist.com.au/sympathy-flowers.html, you can have a flower arrangement along with a card message rushed to the family on the same day as you heard the news. If you order early that day, you can have same day delivery almost anywhere in Australia.

Check Customs

Before you do send flowers, check to see what their customs are for funerals. Even if the person you are sending the arrangement to is a close friend, if it isn't appropriate culturally, you shouldn't send flowers.

However, if there is no seat custom regarding flowers at funerals, you can go ahead and order a flower delivery and have it sent as soon as you hear about the passing of your friend's loved one. While you may think a delivery of flowers will be expensive, there is free delivery for online orders of arrangements.

The flowers will be fresh as well because once Spearwood Florist receives the order; they are arranged in our local shop and delivered by them as well. Send a subdued, tasteful arrangement of flowers for either the funeral or as sympathy flowers for the family. Your thoughtfulness can bring solace to the family.

Men Like Flowers, Too:

http://www.spearwoodflorist.com.au

There may exist a misconception that says men don't like flowers, as if they are something too fancy and feminine for men to ever want to receive. I've long ago dismissed this notion. So send flowers, if you've got a great husband or fabulous guy there that you need to give his spirits a lift.

Combined with the bouquet, don't hesitate to ship over a basket of fruit coupled with a beautiful bottle of wine, be it red, white or bubbling champagne.

Setting the Mood for Love

I find that if all the factors are in place for a lovely evening with my husband, it usually happens that way. I often think of that song, "The Days of Wine and Roses," whereby the songwriter recalls the days when his job was going so well and he was being so successfully paid for his efforts that he would stop and buy flowers and wine for his wife before coming home to a delightful evening of celebration of life and favor.

That would be a great plan -- if you're a man reading this -- flowers could be a weekly or monthly ritual for your wife. Pre-planned or last minute and delivered by calling or going online to get the order in, do it when you can. It helps to show we care about one another, right?

I've just uncovered one more reason men like buying flowers, because of the loving responses and warm feelings they usually bring out in the recipient.

Make Your Feelings Known

I know I received quite the reaction the day that I searched for my college boyfriend's car in a parking lot across from the business school I attended years ago. When I found the purple jalopy contraption, I lifted his windshield wiper and placed a single rose beneath it, wondering if he even liked flowers.

"I always said I'd marry the first girl who gave me flowers," he said, all misty-eyed, when he discovered the gift.

People get serious about flowers, and they can evoke great emotions. I like sending a big bouquet to my husband at his office with a large balloon when I can, not only for him, but to show his colleagues that he is very much loved.

My neighbour likes to sneak various coloured flowers into his garden, proving men can really take a shine to them.

Tyler Perry posted a photo on Facebook of the large -- I mean absolutely huge and gorgeous -- bouquet of red roses that sat in the entrance way to his home before a big event, prior to a movie premiere celebration where he'd have plenty of friends over. He spoke of how all the various bouquets of fresh flowers really made his house smell awesome.

So we're not the only ones who love to receive flowers, ladies. Don't assume that a man would poo-poo the gift, no matter how much bravado and machismo he displays. Flowers could melt that heart of your husband into a sumptuous evening.
