The Etiquette for Flowers

If you're planning on presenting someone special with flowers as a gift, it's important to know a few simple rules of etiquette. Different flowers convey different sentiments, which is why a gift of flowers can be especially memorable and heartfelt.

Funeral Etiquette for Flowers in a Military Grave

During the Civil War, friends and family draped Union and Confederate graves alike with wildflowers. Poppies, signifying the blood of heroes, were used for World War I soldiers, and flowers bloom on carefully tended graves of veterans from the Second World War to Afghanistan

Sympathy Flowers Etiquette

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times in life. While the passing of a friend or esteemed colleague might be difficult for you, your main priority should be to express your condolences to the family. Sending an arrangement of sympathy flowers to the family is considered an appropriate way to express your sorrow.
