Amaryllis
A quintessential winter flower, the amaryllis is known for its bold, trumpet-shaped blooms. Often found in deep reds, whites, and pinks, it’s a statement flower that exudes elegance—perfect for a winter birthday centerpiece. This flower is notoriously easy to care for, so we recommend it for a new plant parent (or someone who is just really bad at plant maintenance).
Roses
Roses are timeless and versatile, making them ideal for any season. Opt for deep reds, icy whites, or blush pinks for a winter-inspired twist. Pair them with seasonal greens for a touch of festivity. Our joyful arrangement, The Magic Maker, is the perfect blend of birthday love and seasonal beauty for your winter birthday bestie.
Hellebores
Known as the “Christmas Rose,” hellebores bloom in the heart of winter. Their delicate petals and muted tones of white, green, and lavender bring a serene and enchanting vibe to any bouquet. The Capricorn in your world will enjoy this refined yet classic bloom for their celebration.
Tulips
While tulips are often associated with spring, their availability in winter makes them a delightful choice for birthdays. Choose jewel-hue tulips to add a pop of color during the colder months. Like we mentioned, they are hard to find, so the birthday recipient will definitely be impressed!
Orchids
Exotic and refined, orchids add a touch of luxury to winter floral arrangements. Their long-lasting blooms and variety of colors make them a standout gift for a sophisticated recipient. Our single spike white orchid, The Goddess, is delicately placed in an antiqued bronze metal vessel that has a minimal yet stunning quality to it—just like someone with a winter birthday.
Anemones
With their striking black centers and delicate petals, anemones offer a bold and modern look. Available in deep reds, purples, and whites, they bring an understated elegance to any winter bouquet. The Snowfall is a cozy hug and festive celebration all in one; shades of cream, purple, and blue florals may just be better than a slice of birthday cake.
Peonies
A rare treat during the colder months, winter peonies are the epitome of luxury. Their lush, full blooms in soft pinks, whites, and deep reds make them a show-stopping choice for a winter birthday surprise. The Cherry is our crimson colored dream of a peony bouquet. It’s available in 10, 20, or 30 stems and we don’t want to alarm you but these may make someone fall in love (perfect for your partner or new flame!).
Alstroemeria
Known for their cheerful and long-lasting blooms, alstroemeria adds warmth to winter bouquets. Their vibrant shades of orange, pink, and yellow make them a bright choice for celebrating a winter birthday. While we don’t want the birthday celebrant to be overshadowed by Christmas, our holiday bouquet The Sleigh Ride, features all the classics and is still a show-stopper.
Carnations
Carnations are a winter-friendly classic that come in nearly every color imaginable. Their layered petals and sweet scent make them a charming choice for a birthday bouquet. Our spectacular arrangement, The Frost, looks like sunshine on a cold day with its white flowers and colorful accents. A winter birthday celebrant needs these!
Ranunculus
Known for their intricate layers and bright colors, ranunculus flowers are a winter favorite. These cheerful blooms bring a sense of joy and playfulness, perfect for celebrating a special day. Our lavish arrangement, The Sugar Plum, is exactly what the birthday girl or boy ordered. It’s overflowing with perfect petals and is truly a feast for the senses!
Lilies
Lilies, with their large and graceful blooms, add a touch of elegance to any winter arrangement. White lilies symbolize new beginnings, making them an excellent choice for a birthday gift for your winter loves! Our beautiful calla lily, aptly named The Winter White, is placed in a sage green ceramic pot that provides all the calm and serene vibes every birthday celebrant will deserves.
Winter Greens with Seasonal Accents
Sometimes, it’s the accents that make a bouquet stand out. Incorporating eucalyptus, holly, pinecones, or an array of berries can give an arrangement the cozy, wintry feel it deserves. Pair them with blooms like roses or lilies for a stunning effect. Winter bouquet, The Eggnog, perfectly incorporates eucalyptus and hypericum berries amongst their roses and calla lilies. If you’re just looking for something green, we love The Silver Bells, a gorgeous seasonal fern!
Winter birthdays can sometimes get eclipsed by the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but a bouquet of flowers can make all the difference in your person’s special day. Whether it’s a lush arrangement of peonies or a cheerful bunch of alstroemeria, sending flowers is a perennial way to show you care.
