Birthday Flowers by Birth Month: A Quick Guide
Sending flowers on birthdays is a time-honored tradition that never gets old. But are you aware that every month has its own birth month flower, similar to birthstones? These birth month flowers bring an added personal, meaningful element to your present, making it that extra bit more special and memorable. Whether you're buying for a friend, a loved one, or even yourself, picking birthday flowers according to the birth month of the recipient is a lovely way to celebrate.
Below is a handy guide to the birth flowers per month, plus some trendy floral favorites that mirror these classic blooms—ideal for anyone looking to surprise someone with a flower gift in Dubai.
January – Carnation
Representing admiration, love, and excellence, carnations have ruffled petals and bright colors. To send a similar soft, romantic look, try using bouquets of pink or white roses. The Pink Roses Extravaganza in a Box is a contemporary yet sophisticated option for January birthdays and provides a new spin on the classic carnation.
February – Violet
Violets are symbolic of loyalty and fidelity. Though not often used in high-end flower arrangements, their essence remains in purple-hued bouquets. Consider lavender roses or lilac shades that symbolize serenity and love. A pastel arrangement in soft colors like the Amethyst in Box is a dainty and sentimental gift for a birthday in February.
March – Daffodil
Radiant, sunny daffodils represent new beginnings and joy. While daffodils aren't typically in season every month, yellow-colored arrangements can achieve the same cheerful atmosphere. Try sunflowers or a warm-colored box to put a smile on someone's face.
April – Daisy
Daisies are symbols of innocence and purity. In high-end bouquets, classic daisies may not always appear, but white blooms like roses, hydrangeas, or tulips provide a clean and fresh appearance. A white bouquet with a crisp presentation may look modern, minimalist, and celebratory—just right for April birthdays.
May – Lily of the Valley
This beautiful flower is the symbol of sweetness and modesty. Although it's fragile and not always available, you can capture the same ambiance with white or pale flowers. A pale-hued arrangement in a delicate vase or chic box presentation is perfect to mark a May birthday in elegance.
June – Rose
June's flower is the classic rose, embodying love, thanks, and appreciation. Roses are well-loved by everyone and are very versatile. Opt for traditional red roses, delicate pinks, or whites depending on the personality of the recipient. The 100/101 Red Roses Bouquet is a classic and romantic option for June, and the Pink Roses Extravaganza is great for someone who adores a classic, feminine look. Roses can be considered as perfect birthday flowers for those who have their birthdays in June.
July – Larkspur
Larkspur has its blues and tall spiky flowers that are positive and light in meaning. While they are not often found in many arrangements, bouquets with blues, purple, and even pale pinks can approximate the airy beauty of larkspur. For a playfully romantic July birthday present, seek out flowers with an airy and flowing style.
August – Gladiolus
Gladiolus is a symbol of strength and honesty. Standing tall and striking with its shape, it is a flower that is not found in everyday bouquets but can be symbolized through strong and structured floral arrangements. Strong color contrast and architecturally pleasing arrangements like the Crimson Elegance in Half Meter Box are perfectly matched to August's vibrations.
September – Aster
Asters represent wisdom and refinement in their classic form, which is soft purple and pink colors. Imagine lavender roses or cascades of soft, romantic tones. The Enchanted Pegasus in Vase captures that whimsical September spirit with its otherworldly pink and soft beauty.
October – Marigold
Vibrant and full of life, marigolds represent creativity and warmth. You may not see marigolds in all high-end bouquets, but deep golds, oranges, and reds can substitute nicely. Choose arrangements that feature sunset colors for a dramatic October birthday announcement.
November – Chrysanthemum
Representing loyalty and friendship, chrysanthemums are a classic in most cultures. Rich reds, burgundy, and gold give the impression of a November party. For something more contemporary, select rich, complex roses or a showy half-meter box arrangement that speaks of depth and consideration.
December – Narcissus
Narcissus, or paperwhite, symbolizes good wishes and hope. Their simple, white beauty is perfect for winter birthdays. Crisp white roses or frosty-colored bouquets capture the same spirit and mix well with December party themes.
