Flowers are a popular way to celebrate new life with friends and family.

This article will outline four excellent reasons why you should consider a beautiful bouquet of fresh, fragrant flowers to parents celebrating the birth of a new baby as well as making product recommendations from our extensive range of flower bouquets to celebrate a newborn baby. 

1. To offer your support

Premium, high quality flowers are not cheap. Sending a new couple a beautiful bouquet of fresh, premium flowers, signals to them that you are there for them in this stressful new endeavor of their lives.

Buying them flowers is a way of letting them know that no matter what they may need for you as they handle the stresses of a newborn baby, be it an emergency babysitter or hand-me down clothes, you will be there for them. 

Even if such an offer is never called upon, having your support at the back of their minds will make this tough new adventure all the easier in their minds.

2. As a personal gift

The more tailored to the individual this bouquet is, the better you will be able to demonstrate the care and attention you intend to put into supporting them as they enter a new chapter of their lives.

Simple things such as adapting the colour of the bouquet (blue/pink) to reflect the gender of the baby, buying new flowers for different babies, or buying a flower that has a particular thematic, aesthetic or cultural resonance with one of the parents shows the care and attention you put into their lives.

For a baby boy we would recommend our Ocean Breeze bouquet, featuring five stems of bright purple delphinium, and a selection of complimenting other flowers.

For a baby girl we would recommend our Pink Simplicity Bouquet which features pink roses, lily's and germini's, with accompanying chrysanthemums, a flower which in China symbolize longevity, nobility, and good luck in the home.

We also have a wide range of other bouquets featuring flowers from around the world; we’re sure you will find one that perhaps bears a personal significance to one of the parents.

3. As a form of congratulations

Support flowers are a common gift given as congratulations to new parents. Support flowers carry with them the same meaning as traditional sympathy flowers, but in this case they're celebrating a happy event rather than expressing condolence.

Flowers and plants can be placed in bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and nurseries--anywhere where the newborn child will often spend time.

4. To remind us of the sweeter things in life.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers can make those early mornings and late nights, those changed nappies and those awkward bouts of wailing on public transport all the easier.

Indeed, having fragrant flowers can help with the… less than fragrant smells often produced by a newborn baby.

Flowers can also remind stressed parents of the sweeter things of life, and flowers in shades like pink, white, purple, or blue, such as Fleur de Luxe’s Pink Simplicity Bouquet, can capture the joy of bringing life into this world.

We have shown in another blog that flowers can aid sleep and reduce anxiety, things that are crucial for the mental wellbeing of new parents.

Caring for flowers can be calming while also rewarding because both are goals that provide a sense of accomplishment.

So don’t feel that you are necessarily burdening the new parents with extra work, but rather giving them a meaningful hobby they can complete at home at a time when they may be having to scale back their other commitments.

So as well as a signal of support, and a signal of congratulations, flowers do serve a deeply practical function in emotionally supporting new parents.

We hope this article has convinced you that sending flowers is not just an empty tradition but can meaningfully communicate support and appreciation for a couple or an individual as they enter a new stage of their lives.
