Looking for a graduation gift for someone who is finishing up at high school or university? It may seem like a tough occasion to buy for, but we have the perfect solution for you!

What better way to celebrate a friend, partner or family member’s hard work and academic achievement than with a lovely bouquet of flowers for graduation? Saying congratulations with flowers is a joyful act that can really make someone feel celebrated. Flowers are rich in meaning and have historically been associated with love, joy and happiness.

You may now be wondering how to choose the right type of graduation flowers for the right person. Well, we think every bouquet can be amazing, however if you want something a little more special that is specifically suited to your recipient, here are some simple suggestions to consider:

1. Their Favourite Colour/s

Selecting an array of flowers in a person’s favourite colour/s makes the perfect gift and helps ensure they will love the bouquet. It also means you aren’t limiting yourself to one variety of flower. If they have 2 or 3 favourite colours, even better! You can order a bouquet with a mix of flowers in those colours.

2. Their Football or Sporting Team’s Colours

If your graduating loved one is a footy or sports fan, this can be the perfect tip for selecting flowers they will love. Whether they are big on AFL, soccer, NBA, cricket or any other sport for that matter; if they are a fan of a particular team, that is your best clue to selecting flowers in colours they will love. Perhaps they play in a local sporting team themselves. If that’s the case, you have yet another option of team colours to choose from. Flowers in the colours of their own team not only adds that personal touch, it’s also something that will hold greater meaning for them.

3. Their School/University Colours

Most universities have theme colours. They can be displayed on their emblem, campus design or sporting club jerseys. They are almost always the splash of colour that is displayed on the graduation gowns and hats. This can be another great option for selecting a suitable graduation flower bouquet. Not only will the bouquet match the graduation colour scheme but it will also match their outfits. This would make it perfect and colour co-ordinated for the photographs.

4. Their Favourite Flowers

If your friend or loved one has a favourite flower, then you are already a step ahead. Receiving a bunch of your favourite flowers on a momentous occasion can really be the icing on the cake. Not only do you already know they will love them, it also shows them that you have put thought and care into selecting the flowers; that can really make someone feel loved. 

5. Meaningful Roses

Another great option to consider are roses. Not only are roses an international renowned symbol of love, different coloured roses carry different and more specific meanings. This gives you the ability to select a rose colour that matches the occasion, the relationship, or how you feel about the person. You can also select a variety of rose colours to add more meaning to your bouquet. Here are some rose colours and what they mean:

Red roses – love and affection.

Pink roses – gratitude and admiration.

Lavender roses – magnificence and enchantment.

White roses – youthfulness and purity.

Yellow roses – friendship and happiness.

Orange roses – friendship and fascination.

Peach roses – excitement and appreciation.

6. Australian Natives

Australian natives are a timeless classic. Not only do they have that beautiful home grown feel and aesthetic, they also last that little bit longer. Considering your friend or family member is graduating from an Australian university, natives can make a highly suitable option. If your loved one is a big fan of natives or the Australian environment in general, then this can be an excellent selection for you to gift to them.

7. Something Bright and Colourful

The best way to express joy with flowers is often to select a vibrantly coloured bunch. Something bright and colourful can really add to the celebratory atmosphere and can definitely brighten one’s mood.

8. Something in Soft Tones

Flowers in soft tones, pastels and nudes represent new beginnings; making them a great choice to represent the start of a new career after graduating. They are also very calming tones which can be so soothing after a big final semester of intense studying and comprehensive exams. So, if you’re graduate has been a little stressed, this could be a perfect choice for them.
