Best Flowers to Give on a Date

Dating can be fun and exciting, but it can also sometimes be stressful and make you nervous. You always want to make a great impression, and giving flowers to your date is a great way to do this. Not sure if you should give her flowers? Social Flowers can help you out. If you have decided to give her flowers, the question is: “What type of flowers do I give her?”

Do You Know What She Likes? 

If you know what types of flowers are her favorite, the answer is pretty simple: get her what she loves! 

If you don’t know her favorite flowers, there are some things you can do:

Start a conversation about flowers. If you are out somewhere and see some flowers, point them out: “I love tulips; they always put me in a good mood,” and see what she says. If you can’t figure out what flowers she likes best, maybe you know her favorite color? That is a place to start!

And you can even consider being bold and asking what her favorite flowers are. 

What is Her Personality?

If you don’t know what flowers she likes, why not pick some that match her personality? And when you give them to her, explain your choice. She will not only love them more, but she will think you are super thoughtful and caring. Here are some flowers you can pair with your date:

• Romantic: Roses (especially if they are red or pink) symbolize love and admiration.
• Cheerful, kind and optimistic: colorful daisies are the perfect choice.
• Elegant and sophisticated: an exotic flower like a lily representing luxury and strength.
• Caring and nurturing: carnations are long-lasting and symbolize love and admiration.
• Adventurous, bold, and independent: an exotic and striking flower like a bird of paradise is a great choice.
• Free-spirited and imaginative: irises symbolize creativity and wisdom.

What is the Occasion?

Where you are going on your date and what stage you are in your relationship can help you choose an ideal bouquet.

If it is one of your first dates or you are going somewhere casual, like a walk, showing up with a massive bouquet of roses might be a little over the top. Go with something like daisies (cheerful and simple), tulips (elegant but not overly romantic), or a small mixed bouquet (thoughtful and pretty but not too intense). 

If you have been dating for a while or going somewhere like a nice restaurant, go with something like roses (the classic symbol of love), lilies (symbolize elegance and commitment), or orchids (striking and sophisticated).

You Can’t Go Wrong With a Custom Bouquet

Still unsure of what flowers to send and really want to impress her? Let her choose with a Social Flowers Recipients Choice Custom Bouquet! You set the price, and your date chooses the type of flowers, colors, and the type of container! You can’t go wrong.

If you know what she likes, there is also the Sender’s Choice Custom Bouquet, where you choose the flowers, colors, and container. She will be impressed with the amount of thought you put into creating the perfect arrangement for her.

When deciding on the best flowers to give on a date, pay attention to her preferences, personality, and the occasion. And if you really want to impress her and ensure you get things right, let her choose with a custom bouquet.

Still not sure? Here are some of the most popular choices. To make a great impression, tell her why you chose the flowers you did. 

Popular Flowers and What They Symbolize

• Roses are the most popular choice, and for good reason. Red roses represent love and romance, pink roses signify admiration, and yellow roses symbolize friendship.
• Tulips are also associated with love but in a more understated way. Pink tulips show admiration, while sunny yellow or orange tulips represent friendship and joy.
• Lilies are elegant and fragrant. White lilies represent commitment, making them a thoughtful choice when you and your date start to get more serious.
• Orchids are elegant flowers that symbolize luxury, strength, and desire. Include them in a date night arrangement to add an element of mystery and sensuality.
• Daisies are a cheerful flower that signifies innocence and purity.
• Sunflowers are bright and cheerful and represent happiness. Imagine her reaction when you tell her you chose sunflowers because she makes you happy!
• Carnations pair perfectly with many flowers and are often associated with devotion, making them perfect for an anniversary bouquet.
• Peonies aren’t just lush and fragrant; they represent good fortune. Give these to a date to wish her luck or congratulate her on an achievement.
