Flowers are a welcome gift that’s perfect for all occasions. It’s a nice token of appreciation for anyone on your team and a tasteful corporate gift idea to send clients. In this article, we share a list of expert advice on how to send flowers to anyone you work with.
Tips for Sending Flowers to Clients and Colleagues
-
Do not use red roses - Instead, use yellow, white, or colorful flowers to avoid the gesture getting misinterpreted as a romantic gesture. White and green flowers and orchid arrangements are elegant choices for clients.
- Take note of flower allergies - Find out if the recipient has allergies or if anyone in the office is allergic to flowers. Or better yet, opt for allergy-friendly flower bouquets to stay on the safe side.
- Send as a group - If sending flowers to your boss, ask your other department members for a contribution so you can send them as a group. Not only is it more cost-effective, but it’s also not going to be misinterpreted by your colleagues. In photo: Sunflower Sonata, $169

Be fair with gifting - If you’re giving out flowers for employee birthdays and other special occasions, make sure you don’t miss out on anyone and end up offending them. Refrain from sending a bigger or more expensive bouquet to only some employees and not others. Instead, automate the process by getting a corporate floral subscription service, so your account manager can take care of it for you.
-
Keep messages professional but inspiring - Send business flowers with a note card containing kind and encouraging words to employees. If you’re sending it to a client, make sure it’s formal and on-brand.
- Use orchids or masculine floral arrangements for male recipients - You can send anyone flowers although it's best to stick with neutral options for those who are more traditional.
