6 Best Occasions to Give a Flowers

Flowers have been a beloved gift for centuries. Whether it’s a birthday celebration or a special anniversary, flowers are always loved by anyone who receives them. As florists in Telford, we hand-pick stunning bouquets for all types of occasions and in this post, we’ll share with you the very best events to give a loved one flowers.

1. Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is one of our busiest days of the entire year because a gorgeous bouquet of flowers is the perfect romantic gift. Show your partner how much you appreciate them with a beautiful bouquet of red roses, or make it a little more personal by choosing their favourite bloom.

At Just Jackie, we also have adorable teddy bears and tasty chocolates to send along with the flowers to make Valentine’s Day extra special. 

2. Dates

If you’re going on a date and want to impress, taking a simple bouquet is a lovely gesture that will always be well-received. When it comes to first dates, we always suggest going for bright, fun flowers rather than a large bouquet of roses. But you could go for tulips, sunflowers, or peonies to show you care in a more relaxed way.

3. Birthdays

Surprise a loved one or friend by sending a flower delivery on their birthday. Everyone loves being surprised with flowers, and it’s an unexpected gesture if you don’t usually send them.

We offer same-day delivery at our florist in Telford and have nationwide delivery so can get your flowers delivered on their birthday no matter where they live.

4. Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show our mums how much we care. If you’re struggling with finding the right gift, you can’t go wrong with a stunning bouquet of flowers.

Our florists are experts at putting together bright, pretty bouquets unique for Mother’s Day, so if you’re not sure which flowers to send, we have you covered.

5 Popular Types of Wedding Bouquets

If you’re in the process of planning your wedding, congratulations! It’s a special day and one you want to be perfect. When it comes to your bridal bouquet, there are so many different options to choose from, and our florists want to help you make the perfect choice. In this post, we’ll show you the most popular types of wedding flowers here in Telford.

1. Nosegay wedding bouquets

This is a classic wedding bouquet style that dates back to Victorian times. It’s round in shape and is relatively small, made up of a tightly packed bunch of flowers. Usually, it’s dominated by one bloom, and the stems are wrapped in a luxurious piece of ribbon or fabric.

If you’re planning a chic, minimalist style wedding, this is a beautiful choice. These also work well for bridesmaids as they are slightly smaller.

2. Cascading Wedding Bouquets

This type of bouquet is like a waterfall of flowers that hangs down elegantly in front of the bride as they walk down the aisle. It usually incorporates several different types of flowers and can be designed in a range of colour schemes.

Popular blooms for a cascading bouquet include roses, lilies, foxgloves, and peonies. If you’re looking for something more opulent and eye-catching, this is a wonderful choice.

3. Posy Wedding Bouquets

This is a small, simple bouquet of flowers loosely held together using ribbon or fabric. The focus is on the blooms and very little greenery is incorporated.

Posy bouquets are a popular choice for minimalist weddings and brides looking for simple elegance. If you have a favourite flower, this is a good choice because it puts emphasis on the beauty of a single flower, which is a lovely touch if you have a bloom that’s close to your heart for any reason.

4. Round Wedding Bouquets

This is probably the most well-known style for weddings. The flowers are arranged in a perfect dome, prioritising flowers over greenery. Although many different blooms can be used, sticking to a single type of flower helps to achieve that perfected round look.

Roses or anemones are popular for this to give that round shape, and they work equally well as table pieces in traditional weddings.

5. Pomander Wedding Bouquets

These are perfect for flower girls. The flowers are arranged into a ball of flowers and suspended from ribbon or twine. A pomander bouquet is usually made of sturdy flowers like roses, carnations, or even sunflowers, and make a unique statement.

Although they are popular for flower girls, they are a quirky alternative for brides looking to step away from tradition.

Your Guide To Choosing Funeral Flowers

It’s so important to choose the right flowers for a funeral, but where do you start? When the family give instructions on a theme or variety of flower it can be much easier, but when you don’t have this, it’s down to you to pick a loving tribute. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you need to know about funeral flowers in Telford so you pick the perfect arrangement for a loved one.

Types of funeral flowers

First of all, you’ll need to decide on the type of arrangement you want, and there are several popular choices.

A funeral spray

This is one of the most popular choices for expressing sympathy. Sprays come in both single and double-ended arrangements, depending on your requirements. Double-ended sprays are often called casket sprays and sit on top of the coffin as a larger tribute.

Sheaves

Tied sheaves are usually sent directly to the funeral and are then redirected to the home of the bereaved. These are a more fitting alternative to cellophane-wrapped bouquets and can be designed in a range of colours and sizes.

Wreaths

These are a common choice for sympathy tributes and are usually sent to the funeral as a sign of respect. You can go for either modern or contemporary styles, as well as a range of sizes and colours.

Hearts

Hearts are a more unique tribute and are often given to immediate family or the closely bereaved. Hearts are a loving tribute and can be designed in a range of colours to make a fitting tribute for anyone.

Funeral Crosses

Crosses are a traditional option usually chosen for religious funerals. These represent a more personal sentiment and are usually chosen by close family or friends. We can design a cross for you in a range of colours and sizes based on your requirements.

What message should be sent with funeral flowers?

Tribute cards are often difficult to write during such a heartbreaking time. A simple message with some heartfelt words will always be appreciated. Here are a couple of popular examples if you’re struggling:

• With love and fond memories of _____ from ______
• In loving memory of a dear friend, with love from ______
• Dearest _____, may you rest in peace. Love ______
• With our deepest sympathy, from _____
