4 Things to Pay Attention to When Picking Your Proposal Bouquet

It is so easy to get lost in the flower world, especially when you are someone who rarely pays attention to them. But don’t panic! We assure you that picking the perfect proposal bouquet is less tricky than you have assumed!

1.What type of flowers does your partner like

Simple rule. We are all unique beings, and we all have our likes and dislikes. Therefore, sadly there is no absolute formula when it comes to picking the best proposal bouquet. But the good news is, you got to create your formula! The most common proposal flower is in no doubt the red roses, but if your partner has a favorite flower already, why not pick that for the special day of you both? Pay attention if your partner mentioned their favorite flower, or ask their friends for tips!

2. Matching your partner’s apparel style and color

Even though one might not have a favorite flower, they must have a favorite color! Don’t forget that photo-taking is a must on your proposal day, and your partner will bring home the bouquet. That is why it is important to pick a bouquet that matches the color of your partner’s daily apparel and home decor. These kinds of sweet acts will win you to see extra points in your partner’s heart!

3. Language of flowers

Different flowers, or even the same flower species of different color, carries different language behind them. For roses, the red rose stands for forever love of passion; pink rose says first love and caring; purple rose to symbolize precious love that can stand any challenges; black rose is elegant and mysterious, which is a declaration of you belong to me; blue rose stands for destined encounter; orange rose means forever young.

Apart from roses, other popular flowers for a proposal bouquet also includes:

●Turnips: Red turnips stand for passion and romance; white turnips symbolize pure love, which also carries the meaning of success.

●Hydrangea: Symbolising heartfelt emotion, and the desire to deeply understand someone.

●Peony: Stands for a happy marriage and pure love.

●Camellia: Symbolising love, affection, and admiration.

4. The venue of the proposal

The venue of the proposal is closely related to the size of your bouquet. We all agree that a bouquet of 99 red roses is stunningly romantic, yet it can weigh up to 10KG. If you are proposing somewhere rather than home, it might be frustrating for your other half to carry the heavy bouquet outside. Also, if your partner lies on the shy side, it might be embarrassing for them to hold a big bouquet attracting attention from everywhere. If a smaller bouquet is what you are going for, consider:

●1 flower: Means you are my one and only.

●11 flowers: Means my love is all yours.

●12 flowers: Means consummation.

●22 flowers: Means affection and consummation.
