Do you give flowers at graduation?
The answer is a definite YES. Flowers can brighten and add excitement to someone’s special day. Graduation is a once in a lifetime event that will hold many special memories, so why not celebrate it with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! There are so many styles and arrangements to choose from too, such as pastel flowers and neutral flower arrangements to bright flower arrangements.
What is the etiquette for graduation flowers?
If you are attending someone’s graduation, the perfect time to give a graduation flower bouquet is right after the ceremony has ended. It’ll be the perfect surprise and will also brighten up their photos. If you’re gifting flowers after a ceremony, make sure to let our friendly florists know, so we can prep your bouquet to last!
If you can’t attend the graduation, we recommend sending the flowers to their home to wish them congratulations. So even though you can’t be there, your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
