Honour Women with These Perfect International Women's Day Flowers
International Women's Day, celebrated annually on March 8, brings an opportunity to honour women with thoughtful gifts. Flowers are a popular choice, but what blooms are most suitable? Here's a guide to help you pick the perfect bouquet.
For young girls, soft and delicate bouquets in pastel and light shades are ideal. White semi-opened flowers with buds are also a charming choice. For elderly women, vibrant and bold bouquets in monochromatic colours like orange or yellow, with decorative accents, are perfect. However, it's important to avoid certain flowers. Red roses and carnations are generally not recommended as they may not align with the day's focus on women's empowerment and respect. Instead, consider flowers like mimosa or anthurium, which symbolize strength and appreciation for women. Purple flowers and carnations are also inappropriate for elderly women on this day. When in doubt, mixed bouquets chosen based on the recipient's preferences are always a safe bet.
Whether you're honouring a young girl or an elderly woman, International Women's Day offers a chance to show your appreciation through flowers. With the right blooms, you can create a thoughtful and meaningful gift that celebrates the strength and resilience of women everywhere.
