Flowers For Thank You Bouquets

There are many flowers you can choose from when putting your bouquet together, but there are a few blooms that have special meaning that make them perfect for a thank-you bouquet.

Gerbera Daisies

Gerbera daisies are a great flower to include, since they are brightly colored, and will similarly brighten the day of anyone who received one. They are also a long-lasting cut flower and can stay fresh for up to two or three weeks. A bouquet of gerbera daisies will leave a lasting impression on their recipient, really letting them know you appreciate them.

Sunflowers

What could brighten someone's day more than a sunflower? These bright yellow blooms will bring a smile to anyone's face. Sunflowers are famous for their ability to follow the sun and can grow up to eight feet tall. Symbolically, they would be a great thank-you gift for anyone who helped you stand tall or find the right path in life.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are flowers often seen in sympathy or condolence bouquets, but can be perfect in a thank-you bouquet as well. They symbolize care and compassion, so it's a great way to recognize someone who has been kind and understanding, or helped you through a really tough spot. These sweet blooms come in soft pastels such as pink or blue, making them even more calming and enjoyable.

Orchids

An orchid is a bold, striking plant that definitely makes an impact as a gift. They're a great option to give someone with refined and sophisticated taste. Orchids can last for many years when planted, but different strains require a variety of conditions to truly thrive. Keep that in mind if you're gifting a potted or live orchid instead of cut flowers. Orchids also come in a variety of colors, from white and cream to bold pink or purple.

Roses

Roses are a great all-around flower as they are perfect for almost every occasion. Most closely associated with love, a gift of roses doesn't have to be romantic. A pink, yellow or orange rose can convey your feelings of thanks better than the Valentine's Day favourite red rose. Yellow roses are symbolic of friendship, and can be a great way to say thank you to a friend. Roses also come in more rare colors, such as white, black or blue, which can be a good option to show how special you think the recipient truly is.

Lilies

If you want to make sure your flowers smell as good as they look, a fragrant and striking lily is the best choice. These flowers come in pink, white, yellow and more. Different types of lilies can look different from one another, from a classic Easter Lily to a Tiger Lily to a Royal Lily or a Lilium (Casa Blanca). You have a lot of variety to choose from when picking lilies as a thank-you flower!

Sweet Peas

These flowers are just as sweet as their name! A beautiful and delicate flower with a sweet fragrance, sweet peas make a great addition to any thank-you bouquet. They can be added in with other flowers or given by themselves as a large bunch. If you want to say thank you to someone for a trip, event or excursion, these flowers are the perfect way to do it.

Chrysanthemums

Mums are a flower that represents cheerfulness, making them a perfect option for friends and family members you want to show appreciation for. You can get chrysanthemums in a variety of colors, from orange and yellow to red and pink, so you can personalize your bouquet for the recipient. A bouquet of chrysanthemums in their favourite color is a great way to say "thank you for your friendship."

Tulips

Synonymous with spring, tulips are the perfect flowers to represent sunshine, happiness and gratitude. They come in a variety of colors and even color blends, mixing pink and yellow together on the same flower. A bouquet of yellow tulips is the perfect way to show someone you're thankful for all that they do.

What To Say With the Flowers

You'll likely want to include a note with the flowers to let the recipient know exactly how you feel, especially if you're having them delivered and not giving them the bouquet in person. Of course, it can be hard to put your feelings into words. Be sure to add a few words of thanks, but it's OK to keep your message short and sweet and let the flowers do the talking. 

Make sure to greet the person by name in your note to make it personal, before expressing your thanks. You can add specific details, such as Thank you for your advice" or, "I'm so grateful you took care of my dog while I was away." If you'd rather not get into the details of why you're thanking them, you can keep it more vague with a general "Thank you for everything" or "What you said meant a lot to me. Thank you." 

Instead of just signing off right after your thank you, add more personal details such as mentioning when you'll see them again, letting them know you're thinking of them or promising to talk soon. Then, you can sign off with "Many thanks," "With love" or "Sincerely," depending on how well you know the recipient and your relationship. 

A bouquet of flowers is a great way to send your thanks to a friend, family member or co-worker. There are many blooms to choose from, so your selection should be personal to the recipient based on their likes and what you want to signify. 

Regardless of what flowers you choose, it's the thought that counts! A floral arrangement, bouquet or potted flowers will show your appreciation and gratitude.
