The Best Flowers for Birthdays

Your Guide to the Perfect Birthday Surprise

We’ve all been there – nothing feels worse than forgetting the birthday of one of your nearest and dearests. Perhaps the second worst feeling on a loved one’s special day is getting the wrong gift. Gifts are personal – some people will graciously accept anything, others are picky and hard to please. If deciding which birthday gift to buy for your sweetheart, parent, sibling, or friend keeps you up at night – Allen’s Flower Market has you covered with locations throughout the Los Angeles and Long Beach areas. We are here to remind you that flowers are always a delightful option on someone’s birthday. Plus, we offer same-day delivery and easy, convenient online purchasing to take the hassle out of birthday shopping. Want to show up to the birthday party, bouquet in hand? No problem – we have retail locations throughout the Los Angeles area and would be delighted to help you select or customize the perfect arrangement in person. If you’re looking to ship a bouquet to a loved one who lives far away, we are also here to help. We work with retail partners nationwide. Purchase through us, and we’ll ensure that your gift is delivered quickly, anywhere within the U.S. 

Are you unsure which flowers to choose? If you have time, you can do the obvious – ask them what their favorite flower is! If time is tight, think about their preferences in general. What are their favorite colors? What comes to mind when you think about their personal style? Are there plants or decorative objects that you know they keep in their home? Answering questions like these will help you determine whether the birthday boy or girl would prefer something minimal and modern, like our Artisan Orchids arrangement, or something impressive and multicolored, like our Simple Perfection arrangement.

As with so many beloved traditions, the flowers and colors you choose for a birthday can have special meanings. When it comes to roses, the color defines the meaning. Red roses, as we already know, carry a sense of romantic love and passion. Pink roses, on the other hand, are more flirtatious and indicate sweetness. Yellow and lavender roses are an excellent choice to honor a friendship. Lilies are another perfect birthday option. Pink daylilies are expressive and long-lasting and pair beautifully with other floral plumage, as in our Gracefully Elegant bouquet. Sunflowers are another long-lasting bloom that conveys happiness and hope. We love sunflowers as a birthday gift for friends and family members.
