Etiquette of giving manly flowers
Surely receiving a bouquet of flowers is always a pleasant surprise, but there are some rules for official occasions and business gifting:
- A woman should not give a flower bouquet to a man who is much younger than herself;
- If possible, specify the tastes and preferences, as well as allergies;
- A bouquet for men should be in bold and bright colors;
- Flowers are presented with the left hand, while the right hand is free for a handshake or for an etiquette kiss;
- Men’s bouquet should not be fragrant;

Manly bouquet shapes and colors
Flower arrangements for him should be pyramid-shaped or triangular, with long sterns and strict clean lines. Blooms have to be big and bold, and the composition should remind upward-looking arrow as a symbol of power and men’s strength. Choose bouquets with geometric-shaped greenery, such as fern leaves, asparagus, monstera and bamboo. Preferably avoid fluffy and cascading arrangements.
⸲⸲ A bouquet for a guy shouldn’t involve lace elements, sequins, decorative bows or beads. Flowers can be tied with an eco-style braid or jute, but never with the satin. Flowers in boxes or baskets are appropriate only as a gift for a jubilee or on the official awarding.
Choose a «masculine» monochromatic palette: classic male bouquet contains one type of flowers in a single color scheme. Although today florists make male bouquets of different colors, even contrasting. Actually, colors depend on the man’s age and temper. Soft and discreet shades suits older people better, when bright colors are always good for the young gentlemen. Phlegmatic person will find perfect harmony in calm (but not pastel!) colors, and the choleric — in a combination of contrasting shades. Colors should be bold and saturated: red, purple, orange, white, burgundy, blue. But we suggest to avoid sharp color transitions or excessive diversity.
If you are not sure what to choose — give your preference to a dark-colored bouquet, it is always the best solution.
