Do people have floral counterparts? A look that matches personality type to a tee?
Absolutely. In shop talk, it’s called a floral signature. And, to professional florists, the art
of customizing floral gifts to match personalities is a natural talent. For gifts of a perfect
fit, start with these descriptors:
Romantics are dreamers – generous, spontaneous, sometimes extravagant – and are
drawn to bouquets of soft colors, light fragrances and accents of lace or ribbon.
The Traditional personality is trustworthy, family-oriented, prefers classic styles and
appreciates lush arrangements with a great variety of flowers.
Dramatic personalities are impulsive, cutting-edge trend-setters who relish bold floral
arrangements with strong color statements and contemporary containers.
Creative and expressive, someone who delights in the arts and the unconventional, the
Artistic personality enjoys exotic flowers and unusual combinations of shape, color and
texture.
Natural types are casual, earthy and prefer the outdoors… naturally. Flowering or green
plants, meadow flowers and woodsy accents suit this personality best.
Nothing reflects the spirit of individuality like flowers. Stop by or call us today for floral
gifts that blossom with personality.
