Thinking about a gift for a birthday, a promotion, or an anniversary, and flowers crossed your mind? But then doubt crept in: Do men even get flowers as gifts? Isn't it awkward? The answer is: absolutely yes! The myth that flowers belong only in women's hands has long been outdated. Men can appreciate beauty and a representative gesture just as much. The secret to success is simply choosing the right shape, colors, and type of plant.
Tip from our florist Bára (design and trends expert): "Receiving flowers makes men happy too — you just need to know which varieties to reach for! Forget pink roses, fluffy peonies, or lace ribbons. For men, we arrange bouquets with sharp, architectural lines. Exotic flowers work beautifully (like anthuriums or strelitzias), thistle-like blooms (eryngium), and earthy, rich color tones. A bouquet like that reads as masculine, elegant, and confident."
✅ A representative look: We arrange flowers in a modern design that won't offend a man's ego.
✅ An effortless surprise: Our smart Airway couriers deliver the flowers reliably, straight to his office or home.
✅ A message, FREE: We automatically attach an elegant card with your personal message (printed at no extra charge).

Flower Etiquette: When and How to Give Flowers to a Man?
Giving flowers to men has a few small etiquette specifics of its own. A flower is an ideal gift for major life milestones (turning 30, 40, 50), for celebrating professional success (a promotion, a successful project, a graduation), or as a thank-you to a business partner.
Who gives flowers to whom?
-
A woman to a man: She can give flowers to a man practically any time — a partner, a father, a grandfather, or a colleague on his birthday.
-
A man to a man: In personal life, men rarely give each other flowers. The exception is major family milestones (congratulating a father). In business, though, it's completely normal for a manager to hand a business partner a representative floral gift as a sign of respect and congratulations.
What Should a Bouquet for a Man Look Like?
As our florist Bára already mentioned, the key to success is avoiding "overly sweet romance."
-
Colors: Choose rich, bold, and contrasting colors. Deep red, fiery orange, sunflower yellow, dark purple, blue, or an elegant white-and-green combination are all ideal. Skip pastel shades of pink or apricot.
-
Shape and structure: Men's bouquets are often arranged tall (vertically) rather than in the classic round "ball" shape. It reads as dominant and sharp.
-
Suitable flowers: Besides the exotic flowers already mentioned (strelitzia, anthurium), great choices include sunflowers, callas, stately gladiolus, or coarse textures like artichokes and various types of thistle.
An Alternative for Practical Men: Greenery for the Study
Sometimes a cut flower simply isn't the right fit, especially if you know the man you're gifting prefers more lasting presents that will bring him joy for years. Potted greenery is a fantastic fit for a man's study, office, or a modern "man cave."
A word from owner Monika (our quality and plant-care guarantor): "Most men appreciate a piece of nature on their desk, but let's be honest — they don't have the time or the headspace for daily care and watering. That's why, for these occasions, we import highly resilient plants from the Dutch flower exchange. Low-maintenance houseplants like Zamioculcas (ZZ plant) or Sansevieria (snake plant) make a fantastic gift. They tolerate even extended lapses in watering and clean the air. A total hit with men are designer succulents. They look architectural, minimalist, and require absolutely zero care. We deliver everything carefully packed in our refrigerated Airway vehicles, so the plant neither freezes nor overheats."
Choose a lasting green piece for him:
Whether you go for an original bouquet with sharp lines or a minimalist succulent, remember that an unexpected floral surprise brings a smile even to the toughest of men.
