With all the colors, varieties, and styles of roses available, it’s not always easy to choose. Whether you’re decorating for a holiday party, enhancing your living space, or giving a meaningful gift – here are our top tips for selecting the perfect rose bouquet:

For Holiday Parties & Events

To make an impression or complement festive settings, consider these elements:

• Formal vs. casual: Choose classic red and white arrangements for formal events. For casual gatherings, choose more playful styles with vibrant pops of color. 

• Lush arrangements: Wow your party guests with full, dramatic bouquets that act as impressive centerpieces. 

• Add seasonal greenery: Tie your holiday roses together with evergreen, holly, or eucalyptus.

For Festive Home Decor

To create a cozy holiday ambiance in your personal space, pay attention to:

• Color coordination: Match your rose bouquet to the color palette of your home. Use complementary colors for a striking contrast or analogous hues to create harmony. 

• Fragrance: Do you prefer strong, powerful aromas or subtle scents?

• Personal style: Choose a classic solid-colored bouquet for a minimalist look or get creative with multi-toned blooms. 

For Gifting

To convey a thoughtful message or express appreciation for a loved one, keep in mind:

• Meaning & symbolism: Think about your relationship to the recipient. Do you want to convey love and romance, friendship and joy, or peace and prosperity?

• Personality & style: Choose a sleek, monochromatic rose bouquet for the modest and understated types, or unique multi-colored roses for the quirky and creative ones. 

• Presentation: Add the finishing touches to your rose bouquet with a thoughtful gift note, wrapping the stems in tissue paper or burlap, and tying it together with a ribbon.

• Delivery timing: Ensure you order your bouquet in time for the holidays! April & Ashley lets you schedule your delivery at checkout. We recommend ordering at least 2 weeks before your desired delivery date.
