Engagement flowers have always been the go-to gift for sending warm wishes to the newly engaged couple. Several types of flower arrangements can add beauty and elegance to a celebration. Whether you want to send your love with a bouquet of roses, an elegant orchid plant, or a unique gift basket, Russian Flora has something special to help commemorate this milestone.
This guide to engagement flowers will help the bride and groom, family, friends, and loved ones who are living overseas. It includes all you need to know about delivering flowers to the couple.
Why Flowers Are the Perfect Engagement Gift
When it comes to expressing congratulations, sending engagement flowers is a classic and thoughtful choice. A family or friend’s engagement is one of the most exciting times of their lives, and you can make the special occasion even more memorable with an artisan-crafted bouquet. Our romantic bouquets are a wonderful way to express your care for the soon-to-be bride and groom.
What Flowers to Give for an Engagement?
There is no one answer to this question as people usually have their own flower preferences and may like some buds over others. However, some popular engagement flowers include roses, lilies, and orchids, all of which you can order here. You can never go wrong with a classic delivery of red roses, but we also have a great selection of mixed flowers that make for amazing engagement gift bouquets.
Send your love with floral design pieces featuring popular blossoms, such as:
Red Roses
Vibrant and romantic, red roses are an elegant and bold choice for an engagement flower gift. These traditional flowers are timeless symbols of deep affection and romance. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that they’re one of the most popular gifts for newly engaged couples. The flower will serve as a constant reminder of their love and pair well with gifts, like red wine or dark chocolates.
White Hydrangeas
Combining elegance with a subtle, vintage charm, white hydrangeas are a fabulous choice to celebrate an engagement. These round blooms add beautiful depth to bouquets, while representing the abundance and grace of true love.
Yellow Sunflowers
Some people think that sunflowers are better suited for birthdays or graduations. However, these sunny blooms can make a great engagement gift due to their vivid color and message of luck and lasting happiness.
Orchids
With their striking colors and intricate shapes, orchids are the perfect engagement gift for couples. They symbolize rare beauty and a sense of passion, which make a statement like no other flower. Sending an orchid engagement bouquet is an exquisite way to convey support for the happy couple.
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are a delicate and charming flower that comes in a variety of pastel shades. This engagement flower bouquet symbolizes loyalty and long-lasting love. Their gentle colors create an elegant and charming atmosphere to bring comfort and ease to the engagement celebration.
Delphiniums
Delphiniums are known for their tall spikes of pastel-colored blossoms, creating a dreamy display. These flowers symbolize an open heart and new beginnings, making them a perfect choice for an engagement bouquet. Delphiniums come in shades of lavender, light blue, and blush pink that will infuse your pastel flower bouquet and spread good luck and support!
Pairing Flowers with Other Engagement Gifts for Couples
While it isn’t required that you buy a gift when someone gets engaged, it is a nice gesture to do so, especially if you are close to the couple. If you decide to get an engagement gift for the happy pair, make sure it is something they will appreciate and be able to use, like a plant if they’re moving in together or a gift certificate to somewhere you know they’ll appreciate. Whatever you choose, a small gift is sure to be appreciated by the newly engaged couple.
