From Bud to Bloom: why do people send flowers in Christchurch?
For centuries, flowers have used as a non-verbal way to express emotion and communicate. Court Florist’s Victoria Street florist Christchurch team create flower arrangements for a myriad of reasons that cover all aspects of life and living: from cradle to grave, for the highs and lows and ‘just because’ flowers.
Sending flowers is a kind gesture, and while you don’t need a specific reason to, there are many situations that warrant sending a beautiful bouquet. Here are the 7 most popular reasons why people send flowers with Court Florist in Christchurch NZ:
1. Celebrations, achievements and milestones
With thanks to the symbolism of flowers, they play a central role in celebrations and milestones. From a flower delivery of ruby red roses for a 40th wedding anniversary, the birth of a new baby, through to extravagant wedding flowers, every occasion can be marked with special flowers.
2. Expressions of love and affection
Valentine’s Day is synonymous with sending flowers to a loved one. However, Court Florist is delighted to report that romantic flower deliveries are a year-round gesture for loved up Christchurch residents, and often without occasion. Sending flowers is an incredibly romantic gesture to express love and affection and show someone they are on your mind.
3. Support and sympathy flowers
Used across many faiths, flowers honour the deceased, but they are also a thoughtful way to offer condolences to a grieving family or show support to someone going through a tough time. A flower delivery is a powerful yet sensitive way to demonstrate you are there without being intrusive.
4. Thank you and appreciation
Gratitude is a wonderful trait, and flowers are a beautiful way to thank someone for their kindness, help or generosity. When someone recognises that you have gone above and beyond expectations, the result is pure joy.
5. Apologies and reconciliation
Some of the hardest words to say are ‘I’m sorry’. Beautiful flowers can be a sincere way to make amends and apologise to someone you have wronged. Sending flowers can be the first step to smoothing over misunderstandings and show a willingness to reconcile.
6. Seasonal greetings
Dare the C-word be mentioned at this time of year? Christmas wreaths and flower arrangement deliveries bring the season’s cheer to your doorstep and are the ideal gift if you are unable to join family and friends over the holiday season.
7. Corporate flowers
There is nothing like the sight and fragrance of a fresh flower delivery to create a colourful and welcoming space in a corporate environment. They create a wonderful first impression for clients but are also a powerful way to enhance the office space for employees.
As a universal symbol of affection, joy, sympathy, and support, the versatility of sending flowers is impressive. They convey a wide range of emotions and messages, making them the perfect gift for almost any occasion.
