Flowers, both single stems and bouquets, have long been a traditional birthday gift primarily for women. Most of us find certain flowers more appealing than others, either based on their scent or color. There actually exists a list of birthday flowers by month, each with a symbolic meaning. They can make for beautiful and meaningful table decorations at a birthday party or even lovely gifts.
January
Carnations symbolize pride and beauty. They last longer in arrangements than many other types of flowers and have been cultivated for thousands of years.
For a stunning birthday flower arrangement in January, try two dozen white carnations in a blue vase with a blue balloon bouquet attached.
February
Iris, a large, beautiful but delicate flower, typically opens in the spring and is most often seen in its deep purple color. Arrange six violet irises cut at slightly different lengths tied with a white bow. Violets are another option.
March
Daffodils are often imagined as the first flowers poking through the traces of spring snow, opening toward the sky, a sure sign of advent of gentler weather. For a beautiful birthday flower arrangement in March, try a bouquet of daffodils wrapped in green paper with a big green bow.
April
Arrange a single daisy in a slender bud vase, tied with a thin, pale pink ribbon.
May
Fill a wicker basket with lily of the valley, scented candles, and a white bow. It will serve as a lovely birthday flower arrangement or gift.
June
A symbol of love and passion, the red rose makes a beautiful birthday gift for the special someone in your life. For a June birthday gift, consider a single, long-stemmed red rose, or red candied roses atop a vanilla butter cream birthday cake.
July
July’s color is pink and the flowers are the Larkspur and Water Lily. Set up a painted picture of a water lily containing a bouquet of soft pink flowers inside a coffee mug to suffice for a beautiful birthday flower arrangement.
August
Poppies are whimsical flowers, available in a variety of colors. For an August birthday, giving a bouquet of poppies wrapped in a yellow bow is not a bad idea at all.
September
An aster bouquet with a variety of other flowers mixed in, all in a funky, unique purple vase makes an unusual but pretty birthday gift.
October
Consider giving someone a fall arrangement of blossoming orange calendulas mixed with a few accent blooms of red, in a rustic brown vase.
November
For a November birthday, try an arrangement of chrysanthemums and greenery in a pale yellow vase.
December
The flower color signifying the month of December is white, and the flowers are holly and the daffodil. A small, golden holly pendant necklace with a ruby center, wrapped in white paper is an excellent December birthday gift idea.
