How to Choose Birthday Flowers? Florists Monika and Bára Show You How to Always Get It Right
Birthdays are the most common reason to celebrate at our studio in Strašnice. A bouquet can say "I value you" or "I'm glad you exist" without a single word. But how do you choose the right one, so it doesn't just sit in a vase but actually brings a smile? We, florists Monika and Bára, will walk you through the choice step by step. From a bit of secret taste-detective work to the power of the season.
Step 1: A Little Detective Work (How to Figure Out Their Taste?)
Before you click "order," try a bit of gentle spying.
-
Look at their interior: Does the birthday person have a rather minimalist home with white accents? Then choose lilies or white roses. If they love color and a bit of chaos, reach for a mixed bouquet.
-
Notice the scent: Do they wear heavy perfume? They can handle intoxicating hyacinths. If they're more the sporty type, choose a delicate lisianthus without a strong scent.
Step 2: A Safe Bet vs. Seasonal Stars
In-season flowers are always fresher, bigger, and cheaper.
Flowers Available Year-Round (A Safe Bet):
We keep these varieties in stock in top quality 365 days a year:
Red roses: The immortal classic of love.
Gerberas and alstroemeria: Ideal for cheerful, long-lasting mixes.
Lisianthus and carnations: For lovers of delicacy and nostalgia.
Lilies: For a majestic, fragrant impression.
Seasonal Treasures (When You Want Something Special):
If the birthday falls in these months, don't hesitate:
Spring (March–May): Tulips, hyacinths, and delicate ranunculus.
June–July: The queens of summer — peonies.
Late summer: Sunflowers, gladioli, and magnificent hydrangeas.

Step 3: Choosing by Relationship and Age
For a Partner: The Language of Passion and Tenderness
Red is a clear message, but if you're past your first month together, try to surprise her.
A tip from Bára: "A bouquet of 100 roses is a dream, but peonies in June can easily outdo it. If your partner loves design, choose a modern flower box in pastel tones."
For Mom or Grandma: Respect and Abundance
For moms, variety wins, along with the feeling that the bouquet "lives."
A tip from Monika: "Moms love discovering different types of flowers within a bouquet. Mixed bouquets with alstroemeria and chrysanthemums are the biggest hit, since they can easily last two weeks in a vase."
For a Friend: Energy and Joy
Here, don't be afraid of bold color contrasts. Yellow tulips or orange gerberas are a symbol of friendship and sunshine.
Step 4: The Most Important Detail
Do you know what makes a bouquet unforgettable? A personal message. With us, birthday orders come with a free card. Choose from various birthday card designs, and we'll hand-write your text on it.
A final piece of expert advice: "If it's a milestone birthday, reach for our luxury birthday bouquets. The size of the bouquet should match the significance of the occasion — a 50th birthday deserves a bouquet the birthday person can barely carry in their arms!"
