Before going for any flower as a gift first you need to learn the customs of that region and also culture. This is a very important thing to do as it enables a person to figure out that what flowers are suitable for which occasion.

  • In Russia when it is someone’s special birthday then either a single flower is given or a bunch because here bouquets or baskets are not chosen as birthday gifts.
  • On the occasion of women’s day Russians either gives bright red roses or any other spring flower-like tulips and hyacinths because according to them all these flowers symbolize women’s day.
  • For sympathy or funerals, roses and lilies are considered as the most appropriate flowers which are given in a tightly compressed form that signifies birth, rebirth, death or life.
  • Asian people also prefer to give flowers in odd numbers for happy occasions. For them, yellow is the color that signifies something sad and it is given on the occasion of funerals and as a sympathy flower.

 

Flower gifting culture in European countries

  • Ancient newly married girls used to carry flowers because for those girls flowers were helpful in warding off evil spirits and also they were helpful infertility. There is a Dutch saying that food is only sufficient to feed the body but flowers feed one’s soul.
  • In Europ, any invited guests also bring flowers along with them. Every color and type is chosen except white as this color signifies death and sadness.
  • In England, red roses are only given to romantic partners like wives and girlfriends.

Flower gifting cultures in American countries

  • In American culture, important occasions like Christmas are celebrated by giving gifts especially flowers.
  • Roses are the most loved and happy flowers in America and they are given on Valentine’s Day and mother’s day as well.
  • Americans also consider flowers as the perfect gift for every occasion.

 

Flower giving culture in Egypt

In Egypt, birthdays are celebrated with full zeal. Here traditional birthday celebrations are not only confined to music or dancing or gossips. To make the occasion even more special and worthy a room is decorated with light and also flowers along with fruits.

These three things make the most essential part of the birthday celebration in Egypt because these three things signify growth, love and unlimited happiness.

 

Flower giving culture in Italy

Ok so if you are dating an Italian girl then try to avoid two flowers which are lavender and hydrangeas because in Italian culture these two flowers represent coldness.

So, in that case, you can go for flowers like red and other bright colored flowers like roses because they represent happiness and also eternal love.

Yellow tulips are also preferred flowers because these flowers represent fast recovery and health by a potential partner but even then you need to be very careful because these yellow tulips are although very pretty but they symbolize hopeless love.
