Whether a token of respect to show a loved one that you still care, a decoration for a wedding or a token of commiseration for a funeral, flowers are a universally recognised gift that represents vitality and beauty. Although most high-street stores and supermarkets will now have their own flower sections it has to be said that the displays are usually quite pitiful, if you're in need of a really elegant arrangement then you really need to use a dedicated florists. Birmingham is awash with such florists who will be able to offer unique, decadent arrangements at affordable prices.
Choosing the right flowers for the right circumstance is something that florists Birmingham can help you with regardless of your knowledge or requirements. The most important thing to take into account should of course be the desires of the flowers recipient. If they don't have a favourite flower then perhaps you should consider their favourite colour? If you are not aware of the recipient's preferences or they simply don't have any, then there is already a set of universally recognised associations that could help you out. Red roses have always been associated with romance for example and wedding anniversaries do tend to have their own colour connotations.
Funeral flowers are amongst the most common custom of any florist Birmingham based or otherwise and any florists with well-trained staff should be able to help you select the right flowers for the right situation. Your ultimate choice will depend very much on your relationship to the deceased (you don't want to be making any grand statements if your attending the funeral of a work colleague you barely knew for example) but as a rule a set of agreed upon colour schemes act as a useful rough guide. For women soft, subtle colours are generally preferred and for men, harder, more vibrant colours appear to be the agreed upon standard.
The arrangement for your beloved deceased's arrangement is of course another option to discuss as they can be as grand or subtle as your tastes dictate. 'Funeral Sprays' are a modern popular choice as they are used to decorate the coffin or casket but traditionally the funeral 'Wreath' is the arrangement of choice, this could however been seen as a little formal and impersonal. Various other arrangements can be customised to your wishes from elaborate crosses and baskets, to hearts and 'Letter Tributes', which use the first letter of the deceased's name as a beautiful display of floral wonder.
Any decent florist Birmingham based should be completely flexible when it comes to your flowers delivery. For weddings the flowers can be delivered directly to the church or the venue of the reception and for births or 'get well soon' scenarios they can also be delivered to hospitals, though you should first check if deliveries are allowed on the ward. Personalised messages can also be arranged. These messages will be written on a card and placed inside your arrangement, becoming part of the overall package.
