Sweet and uplifting flowers can never go wrong
Welcoming a new baby is always a joyous occasion and one of the most significant moments in anyone’s life. Treating the new mom with a florist-crafted flower arrangement is a wonderful way to express your congratulations, and to show your love and support to her. From traditional pinks and blues to brighter and more modern creations, check our suggestions for the ideal bouquet to welcome the little bundle of joy.
Stick with tradition: choose your flowers according to the baby’s gender
Shades of pink and pastels are perfect for a baby girl, so look for lilies, roses, carnations, and tulips. Cool blues, stark whites and yellow would look wonderful in a bouquet for a baby boy; white tulips, sunflowers, and even morning glories have the perfect color palette for a gorgeous bouquet.
Get creative: choose your flowers according to the baby’s birth month
To give your gift that extra meaning and to make it even more personalized, it is a great idea to pick flowers that match the baby’s month of birth in your bouquet. A quick search will show you which flowers are best, from beautiful carnations in January to June’s classic rose.
Let’s not forget about flower-giving etiquette
Keep in mind that babies (and recently pregnant women) are sensitive to strong scents, so the new mom will definitely appreciate a subtle profile from your bouquet.
In addition, hospitals may not accept gifts such as bouquets; it would also be best to opt for something simple and small as to not burden the mom with carrying a lot of things on her way out of the hospital.
