While sending flowers you need to be a little careful in order to avoid any awkward situation. Below are some of the flowers giving etiquettes that you need to keep in mind especially when you are in Singapore.

So let’s just start!!

 

The very first date and wrong impression

First dates are naturally very awkward because you both don’t know each other quite well. It’s a type of introductory meeting. So while giving flowers on the very first date, be extra careful.

Some flowers represent friendship while other flowers symbolize long-lasting relationships and love. So on the very first date try to pick a flower that is neutral and that will not make the date awkward.

On the very first date, you don’t want to jump into a relationship directly but at the same time, you don’t want to give the impression that you just want to be a friend. In order to avoid that pick neutral flowers and make the right impression.

 

Don’t send flowers to the workplace

For some people sending flowers to the workplace is a great thing because it means that you are thinking about them and can make the receiver feel special.

But it is normally suggested to avoid sending flowers to the workplace because for some people it can be quite awkward and can breach of etiquettes.

So before sending flowers to the workplace always try to consider the personality of the receiver and if that person is shy then avoid sending flowers to the workplace instead send them to their residence.

 

Sending flowers for sympathy

When someone is going through a tough time like the loss of a loved one then it is often suggested to send them sympathy flowers, which is a way of telling them that you are thinking about them and you are with them during this time.

But you must know that there can be some potentially awkward moments, there are families who normally prefer to donate the money to charity or some other noble cause instead of spending the money on flowers.

So if your loved one is going through a crisis by losing a dear one then always check whether or not the flowers are wanted by the bereaved family. By doing so, you will save yourself from an awkward situation.

 

Get well soon baskets and hospital visits

Flowers have the potential to brighten up anyone’s day if they are not feeling so great. But there are hospitals that have restrictions on some particular type of flowers with potential allergic reactions or there are hospitals that don’t even allow flowers at all.
