2nd: Birthday.

Brilliant colors and radiant arrangements will suffice. But, make sure to put in a personal touch for your friend's special day.

It's also normal to add in flowers of the month, so see to it to ask your local florist about it. Oranges and yellows are excellent colors to match any sort of flower - but do avoid gifting yellow carnations.

4th: Get Well Soon.

Sudden illnesses that keep you in bed all day can get depressing for anyone. If you've got a loved one who's feeling out of sorts, get them a small floral gift. Flowers may help brighten their day and make things a little easier to bear.

If they're in the hospital, avoid fragrant flowers like the plague. Instead, go for brightly colored tulips, irises or gladioli. You could also consider getting a fruit basket to match.

If they're staying at home, vivid house plants and marigolds are an excellent choice. They can help them remember that this is temporary and they've got help all around them.

5th: Funeral.

For wakes and funerals, it's common to send over larger arrangements with a lovely mix of greens and flowers.

Give tribute with highest love and respect with chrysanthemums, roses, and lilies. Arrangements usually involve white, blue, and green colors. They represent peace and humility and can give comfort to your friends in a difficult time.

6th: Holidays.

Presents, by now, are a staple for holiday events. But researchers have noted that the holiday season is when flowers are most given out.

In the Christmas season, the poinsettia, amaryllis and hollies are terrific for gifts and home decoration. Paperwhites also make a delightful bouquet. This is because they symbolize cheer and best wishes as the year comes to an end and enters into a new one.

" Love your mother, as you will never get another one," as they say. And what better way to show your love and admiration than a beautiful, fragrant arrangement?

If you're not sure what her faves are, you can't go wrong with pink or red carnations and gerbera daisies. These blossoms will help you express your gratitude and love for your mom. Plus, it's a fantastic way to celebrate her life on this special day.

Honorable Mention: Wedding.

People don't usually give flowers to the newlywed couple (and it's considered disrespectful to do so). But flowers are a definite staple for wedding celebrations! You can see it all over - from the bride's boutonniere to the table centerpieces at the reception.

Flowers for huge occasions like these depend a lot on the couple's chosen theme and motif. But it never hurts to mix in seasonal flowers to keep your arrangements fresh and stunning.

Intricate designs and light colors work best for the springtime. Rich tones and textured arrangements blend in with the fall season.
