GF's bday is coming up, she LOVES purple. These are the 3 combinations I'm looking at. Which one should I send?

1:


2:


3:

 

no offense, but those all look like flowers you'd recieve while sick in teh hospital, not exactly feeling the birthday vibe with any of them....

but, if I had to choose, i'd say #2.

 

how about this one... this is one of proflowers' birthday bouqets

 

Well, are you gonna get the upgraded vase?

 

yes it will be the square upgraded vase

 

#1 or 3....

can't say i'm a big fan of those yellow things in #1 though, so on that basis, i'd go with 3

 

and ...

 

Out of those, #3

 

Here's one last choice.... unless you guys have any suggestions

 

A dozen purple roses with some babies breath in a simple vase would work well.

I worked in a flower shop for a time

 

I've done this one before, I would rather not repeat. Plus, our anniversay is soon after and I will send roses then. This is to change up things a little.

 

lol, you don't want to repeat, yet you're sending flowers now, and plan to for the anniversary...how many other times have you sent flowers?

 

I don't want to repeat the bouquet is what I meant

 

Go with #2. You can't go wrong with orchids. It shows you have taste. A woman who likes flowers will tell you roses are played out, so pass on those. I also worked for a plant company, and the orchids will last anywhere from 4-6 weeks.

 

I like 1 the best.

 

I'm not a huge fan of any of the arrangements you've posted, but if I had to choose -- I'd pick the very first one... #1. I know she loves purple, but that doesn't mean the ENTIRE ARRANGEMENT needs to be purple only Try incorporating some other colours with the purple to make it a little more eye-catching and upbeat.

 

Oh, and my suggestion would be to visit a local florist and have them put something together there instead of choosing from pre-set arrangements online. Then you can keep the things you like and change around the things you don't... just give them a price range. Does it need to be ordered online?

 

We live an hour apart, I wanted them delivered to her house on the day of. Going online would make it the easiest. I couldn't have one of my local florists get it to her could I? I have always gone the online route.

 

i like # 1

so purty

 

I love them all but #1 will last the longest. Iris's die quickly and have little fragerance if at all. I used to work at a florist

 

I'm a woman and they are all great.

 

Roses are usually a waste of money. They dont always last very long. Baby's Breath is played out too. If she likes purple try Limonium, which is a filler with a purple hue

 

Number 1

 

Maybe it's just me, but most of those, except the one with the teddy bear, look BLUE to me, not purple. Having said that, I'd say #1 for the contrast...

 

I hear a lot of people for 1 but 3 is in the lead...

 

Arrangement 1 looks like they will last the longest, 2 looks skimpy, and 3 is ok, but when the flowers start to die, those kind in particular are a mess cleaning up.

And 1 looks most vibrant.

 

How about this one?



Available at proflowers... the stargazer lilies will last a long time and smell fantastic, and you still have your irises there.

Those lilies are my hands-down favorite flower; I always have them at my desk here at work, and I get compliments at least twice a day on how good they smell.

 

I went with #1. Reason being, I know she'll love them because they are from me, its different from the typical roses and they are her favorite color. Man these things get expensive. I like the bouquet you posted Cali, I think I might save that for a just because or something

 

I bet she'll love 'em!

 

Good choice!

 

Bill came out to $70 because of saturday shipping. At least I used a code and got a vase for free.

 

I like #3. The vase looks a lot classier.

 

:fixed:

 

Good choice, I voted for 1 as well

 

GF got them today, she said she loved them! She liked the purple and yellow together, I thought the yellow flowers were weird

 

YEAH!!!
