Flower Giving Tips for Women- Consider the Color - Men respond well to vivid, crisp colors such as red, orange, yellow, purple and blue. You can choose from a wide variety of dazzling hues.
- Style and Design - For a more masculine feel, consider a linear floral design or an arrangement in a rustic, earthy or sleek container. Blooming plants or green plants are also a great gift for you favorite guy.
- Try a Theme - Your florist can create theme arrangements that revolve around your sweetheart's favorite hobby, sport or pastime.
- For the Cost Conscious - If you have the heart but not the budget for dozens of flowers, surprise your sweetheart with the simple elegance of a single flower, or a bud vase.
- Surprise Him at the Office - When Valentine's Day is on a weekday, have his flowers delivered to his office to enjoy at work and bring home for the weekend.
- Plan Ahead - Call your favorite florist the week before to get the best selection and ensure prompt delivery.
- Be Ready - When you call, have your information handy: the recipient's name, address, phone number, what you want to send and how you want to pay.
