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).
