Presenting flowers to people on special events or to express love or compassion towards those close to us has been an age-old tradition all over the world. However, with so much variety in flowers and with particular meanings attached to most of them, you have to be cautious to make sure that you are picking the right flowers for an event.

While choosing flowers, you have to maintain a fair balance between what the person likes and what is appropriate for the occasion. For instance, if the event is a jovial one then you can go for something bright and colourful like daisies or roses. But distressing events need you to show your condolence by presenting flowers like white carnations or gladiolus.

Too much experimentation on your part regarding choice of flowers might not work if the recipient is not very familiar to you, and in such a scenario it is advisable to opt for conventional and safe choices. Here again, the occasion and the mood dictate everything. For example, seasonal flowers are an excellent choice for a wedding and a bunch of lilies of various colours is great for someone's graduation.

Birthdays are generally a time for sending bold and brilliantly coloured flowers. For milestone anniversary such as 25 years, a more conventional and luxurious bouquet is proper, perhaps with a specified colour scheme to befit the occasion. To celebrate a birth, pink flowers are an obvious choice for a girl, and orange or yellow flowers for a boy. Gerberas are vibrant and bold flowers, perfectly fit to a happy affair like a birthday, anniversary or birth.

If you are confused about which flower to select, you must ask a professional florist in a flower shop or an online florist to guide you in your choice. A florist having a large collection of flowers and a reputed brand name attached to his shop must be chosen if you seek excellent service. This is not an issue at all for anyone who lives in Singapore or is visiting for an event here. You can bump into a Singapore flower shop in any commercial complex, and can also make use of the facility of online shopping if you are tech savvy. To get a comprehensive list of online flower shops, you just have to go to any major search engine and look for 'florist Singapore'.

Online shops let you browse through virtual catalogues and offer more choices than offline shopping. However, you may have to pay an additional charge for home delivery, and enquire if the flowers will reach you on time. When you opt for online shopping services, you must also be cautious not to type your credit card data on a dubious site that may lead to theft of that data. Nevertheless, a lot of people would rather make use of on the spot suggestions of a florist, which makes them reject the option of online shopping and go for a traditional flower shop instead.
