What flowers should I give a girlif I don't know her taste?

The first date is always stressful: where to invite a girl, what to talk about with her, what flowers to bring to the meeting? We will help you with the answer to at least one of these questions.

Or maybe no flowers at all?

Let's say right away: showing up to a first date without a bouquet — is not an option! Unless your new acquaintance is one of the fierce defenders of nature, and a cut flower for her is equivalent to a ruined life. If that's the case — and you know this for certain — you can buy a potted indoor plant, for example, a beautiful orchid. A nature lover will appreciate such an original solution.

But in all other cases, it's better to act classically, that is, go to the first date with a bouquet. Otherwise, there may not be a second one.

Turn on your inner Sherlock

How do you find out what flowers a girl likes if you've only recently met?

Don't be lazy and do a little investigation. Study the beauty's social media — surely there will be pictures and photos with flowers there. From this, you can already draw some conclusions.

Even more reliable is to ask mutual acquaintances, if there are any.

And also take a closer look at the image and personal belongings of your chosen one. Perhaps you'll find clues. For example, she wears a neck scarf with lilies: if the pattern seemed attractive to her, it means the girl loves such flowers.

Trust the statistics

If your inner Sherlock hasn't found any leads, you can choose flowers as a gift for a girl based on statistics. No, Rosstat hasn't conducted such research. But you are on a flower shop's website. We know what is bought more often, and we're ready to share our observations.

• Roses — are the clear sales leader. Most often, men buy red varieties, perhaps because this color symbolizes love. But white and pink buds are not far behind. Five in a bouquet symbolize love, seven — adoration, armfuls of 25 flowers or more speak rather of the giver's generosity and financial prosperity. But you can also get by with just one, it will mean "you are the only one for me."

• In June, peonies are in high demand. Women adore their heady aroma. And our florists create fantastically beautiful compositions with peonies. And if you order one from professionals, you don't have to worry about the number of buds or the meaning of the color. Just explain for whom and on what occasion the gift is, and the specialists will do everything themselves.
• Another flower that girls like — is tulips. They used to be available only one month a year, and were given only on March 8. Now, thanks to the wonders of Dutch breeding, they can be bought even in summer. And any young beauty will definitely be delighted with a composition of tulips in delicate pastel shades.

• Recently, alstroemerias have come into fashion. Yes, floristry also has its own fashion, and modern girls, as a rule, are aware of the trends. In any case, they see what bouquets their friends receive as gifts and want to show off a composition no worse. A classic: scarlet roses with white alstroemerias. Giving such flowers to a girl you like is almost 100% a way to win her heart.

Elegant, fragile, romantic young ladies often like lilies. But these flowers carry a danger. Due to their strong aroma, they cause headaches and allergies in some sensitive individuals. Therefore, we don't recommend them for a first date until you are sure of your chosen one's tastes.

Act according to the situation

Let's tell you a little more about flower fashion. The trend of recent years — is bouquets in hat boxes. You can buy one and not worry about how to put it in water or what to do so the flowers don't wilt while the date lasts. At the bottom of the box is a sponge soaked in water. Therefore, such a composition doesn't need a vase.

But be prepared to carry the box yourself: it will hardly be convenient for the lady.

Men often find it difficult to decide what flowers to give a girl for her birthday, even if they've been dating her for a long time. What's more! Sometimes even husbands, after living with their wife for many years, don't know what her favorite flowers are.

For such a case, there is universal advice: give a luxurious bouquet that combines different types of plants.

If you're confessing your love or proposing, buy roses, ideally — a bouquet in the shape of a heart.

If you don't know what to give a creative woman, but you're sure she thinks outside the box, you can choose blue buds in a hat box. Blue — is the color of creative ambitions.

If you still have doubts about the gift, call the florists at "Pro-buket" — they will help. And most importantly — give flowers from the heart. Even if you don't guess the type of plant or the shade of the petals, the girl will feel your sincere interest and respond in kind.
