The birth of a child is a time for celebration for the parents, and their family and friends. It is a momentous moment in the life of the parents, and it is customary for loved ones to send new baby flowers and gifts to celebrate the occasion. You can buy the flowers at the neighborhood florist or order them online.
The color of the blooms
Traditionally, people choose new baby flowers according to the gender of the baby. Pink flowers for girls, and blue for boys. There is a wide variety of flowers that are available in pink. These include roses, tulips, lilies, carnations and gerberas. New baby flowers for a girl may be arranged with blossoms in contrasting colors such as purple and cream. They highlight the subtle beauty of the pink blooms.
For an arrangement of blue flowers one could choose from varieties such as blue hydrangea, delphinium, flox and hyacinth. Such a bouquet would usually also include flowers in colors such as purple, white and cream, which complement the blue theme. The green foliage such as fern creates a wonderful background. Filler flowers like baby’s breath make the bouquet look delicate and quite exquisite.
If you are worried that the home or hospital room is already full of flowers of a certain color, you could also go with a mixed arrangement. Pick something that has bright colors like yellow, orange or purple. If the mum or dad have a favorite flower that you know about, then it is best to add them to the bouquet.
The arrangement
Flowers need to be arranged in a manner that shows them off well. Ideally, you should opt for new baby flowers that don’t need much attention and care, other than perhaps adding some water. Hence, it is best to go with flowers that are presented in a vase or basket. Most often florists choose a bowl or vase that carries a motif or design that suits the occasion. An arrangement of new baby flowers in a ceramic toy truck, duck or pot is a fun way of presenting them. The ceramic pot can be used later to store knick-knacks or baby products such as lotion and powder.
Usually baby floral arrangements feature balloons, ribbons, bows and lace. Some florists may also offer you the option of sending soft cuddly toys, candy cane and sweets along with flowers. Still others offer a combo offer that could include a bottle of celebratory champagne and a box of scrumptious chocolates for the parents to enjoy.
If you want to send something that will last for a long time to come, consider gifting a rose bush that is blooming with pink roses. The parents can later transfer the plant into their garden or the backyard. The fortune bamboo is considered to be lucky and auspicious, and makes a great gift. It may not be as colorful as new baby flowers, but it is a wonderful gift for the parents and will remain in the home for a long time. It is important that you take some time to select the new baby flowers and add a personalized message to go with it.
