For centuries men have gifted women with flowers – from the Ancient Greeks who believed the beautiful blooms were the language of the gods to rational Victorians who thought a carefully arranged bouquet was the only way to express one’s emotions. Of course, we all know that receiving flowers is wonderful, but buying flowers is the tricky stuff. It requires thought, emotion, connection and sometimes a fair amount of panic. So how do you go about choosing the right flowers for your special someone? Here at The Real Flower Company we have years of experience to help you navigate the art of giving. Our exquisite hand-tied bouquets are sure to deliver the message you want to send, filling the senses with a blend of radiant beauty and delicious fragrance that will linger in the memory.

FLOWERS TO SAY SORRY

It’s safe to say this trick has worked for many men through the years, and probably always will. Nothing helps an apology along like a wonderful bouquet sent express delivery, the day after a quarrel. White roses such as Margaret Merril or White O’Hara symbolise 'I’m worthy of you', they are sure to uplift the recipient’s sombre mood.

JUST BECAUSE

A spontaneous bunch of flowers is the perfect way to show how much you care. But what type of flowers, I hear you ask? Of course, the joy of spontaneity means almost any beautiful bouquet will do the trick. Our recommendations include sweet peas in spring or pink roses such as sweet-smelling Evelyn or Romantic Antike to deliver a sense of romance.
