Love in the language of flowers. How to neutralize the meaning of a bad omen
FLORAL ETIQUETTE!!!
Floral etiquette!
In our life, not a single special event is complete without flowers. It is very important to observe floral etiquette. You need to choose flowers for a gift very carefully, always consider who you are giving them to and for what reason. What is good for one is completely unsuitable for another.
How should you give flowers?
The first thing to remember when choosing flowers as a gift is that they should be presented cut. Flowers in pots can be given only to the closest relatives or elderly people who are sensitive to indoor plants. You can also give modest forest, field or meadow bouquets, only by the way, they will be in common days, but they will be inappropriate on anniversaries or festive receptions.
Delicate miniature bouquets of violets, lilies of the valley or snowdrops are perfect for a woman; It is recommended to give a man long-stemmed gladioli, chrysanthemums or peonies. Soft pink and blue flowers They are presented to young girls, and flowers of bright red, yellow or blue colors are presented to older people.
For example, etiquette does not allow sending a young girl or married woman red roses are a symbol of passion, and for an elderly relative from whom an inheritance is expected - forget-me-nots. It is not customary to give newlyweds hydrangeas and asters, red roses and carnations. And even if the donor himself is far from any superstitions and does not trust the ancient rules, he must admit: a gift is not a method of combating them!
Bouquets presented can be round or one-sided. In both cases, you need to skillfully combine the shape of the flowers with their color. In the bouquet, the flowers should be arranged freely, so that their heads tilt slightly forward.
Number of flowers in a bouquet
The preferred number of flowers in a bouquet for a gift is 3-5-7. One or two flowers are also allowed. When you give one flower, it should be exotic and rare. Two flowers symbolize family - husband and wife, or day and night. In a bouquet containing up to ten flowers, they must be strictly odd number, with more - arbitrary. Whether it is a rule or a superstition, it does not matter, but since such a custom is accepted among us, it must be respected.
Flowers are usually brought wrapped in paper, which protects them from exposure. sun rays, frost, warmth of hands.
Before entering the apartment, you should remove the paper from the flowers or open them halfway, but you can leave the bouquet in cellophane - everything is acceptable. If a man accompanies a woman, he gives flowers to the hostess after the women greet each other. The man first holds the bouquet in his left hand, and after his greeting he transfers it to right hand and hands it to the hostess. When the hero of the day is a man, flowers are given to his wife or mother, and the birthday boy is given a festively decorated gift with appropriate congratulations and wishes. A woman gives flowers to a man when he is honored in connection with a big date or with a significant difference in age.
Gift for a man
According to etiquette, it is not customary to give a man small, elegant bouquets. These can be roses, carnations or chrysanthemums. When visiting a sick person, care must be taken that your gift does not harm him, for example, that the scent of flowers is not too strong. In addition, if you bring a bouquet to the hospital, take care of where to put it, and take a suitable vessel with you.
If you come to visit with your wife and intend to present a bouquet to the hostess of the house, then a man should do this. Flowers must be unpacked in advance. This does not apply to decorative bouquets or flowers that are protected from damage by packaging.
Which woman should I give which flowers?
When you give your beloved girl flowers that she loves, it immediately wins her over to you. To begin with, try to find out for yourself which flowers the object of your adoration loves the most. To do this, it is not necessary to interview all the friends of your girlfriend, just give flowers more often and draw conclusions. But if you still didn’t manage to find out anything, and it’s time to go on a date and give a bouquet, pick it up depending on the color of your eyes and hair.
But I would like to remind you that any bouquet presented with love, even if it consists of a single carnation or spring tulip, means sometimes much more than huge gorgeous bouquet, which is difficult to hold in your hands.
Professional stylists and photographers fashion magazines when taking photos beautiful women, flowers are selected according to color, eyes and hair color.
Flowers for a brunette
If the girl is a brunette, then bright red roses, large gladioli, dahlias, bright orchids, bright carnations are just asking for her hands. Bright red colors make a brunette even more attractive.
Flowers for a blonde

It doesn’t matter what kind of flowers they are - roses, chrysanthemums, lilies or orchids. Flowers should not be bright and defiant, should not distract attention from your companion. However, there are exceptions - for example, one bright red or orange rose can look very good in the hands of a blonde. And again, all this is a matter of taste!
Redhead flowers

However, the “prophetic gift” of the fragrant gift does not end there. Especially when it comes to luxurious rose, mistress of the flower kingdom.

It is believed that a house where there are no fresh bouquets will always be full of prosperity, happiness and good luck. And if a man gives flowers to his beloved woman, they will give the relationship special harmony and protect the family from adversity. Even a single flower in a tall elegant vase “cleanses” the room of negative energy and spreads a good aura around him. The main thing is not to miss the choice of color.

When the man presented the yellow
Yellow roses are given by incorrigible optimists and adventure lovers
Conflicting sign. For many, this color is associated with anxiety, internal tension and mistrust. Just remember our brilliant, but very depressive classic Dostoevsky, who skillfully used dirty yellow shades in his descriptions of people and interiors to convey the hopeless atmosphere that surrounded his heroes. However, yellow is also warm sunlight; and a reflection of gold, promising a comfortable life; the color of fluffy dandelions, a symbol of joy and summer... Maybe you shouldn’t be afraid of it?
- It is better not to give yellow roses to insecure and suspicious people. Too persistently, popular rumor calls these flowers a sign of separation, betrayal and gossip swirling around a person.

What do red, scarlet and burgundy mean, are they allowed at a wedding?
It is better not to give red roses to the bride

- A bouquet of three is traditionally presented to the wife by the husband, emphasizing the warmth, harmony and crystal purity of family relationships.
- Five is a proposal to take easy, non-binding courtship to a new level.
- Seven - confession “I am burning with passion.”

- The color pink symbolizes emerging feelings, spiritual intimacy, and trust. bouquet delicate color It would be appropriate to give to a loved one, parents, and best friend.

Red roses are not advised to give to newlyweds for a wedding: there is a strong belief that after such a gift the marriage will not work out and will soon crack.
When the guy brought a bouquet of black
Not every girl can appreciate such a gift.
Rare black roses, which can sometimes be found in flower shops, are not a gift for the faint of heart. Only a goth girl or a real original can appreciate it! To present such a young lady with a gloomy bouquet means to tell her: "You are mysterious and beautiful." However, be very careful with plants non-standard color. More often they are seen bad sign: sadness and despondency, and in former times, in some places there was even a tradition of sending prickly black beauties to your enemies as a reminder: “I have not forgiven you and I am preparing revenge”!
If the flower was dried or sprouted
It's a pity, but every bouquet is destined to go into the trash bin sooner or later. Only a few roses, which for some reason attracted the attention of their owners, escape this sad fate. However, with such flowers you need to keep your eyes open!
And the sign is bad, and it will gather a lot of dust
It is no secret that representatives of the fair sex are sometimes distinguished by increased sentimentality. What can you do, such is the nature of a woman’s heart! We are tempted to hide a napkin from the cafe where our first date took place as a souvenir; ticket from a movie show marked passionate kiss; a trifle keychain won by a loved one in some stupid street lottery at the very beginning of the novel... There’s nothing to say about flowers. Almost every second girl keeps a dried rose that is especially dear to her heart, and some even manage to “mummify” whole wedding bouquets! Is it worth following their example and attaching such great importance to the “herbarium”?
From an esoteric standpoint - under no circumstances!
- Only fresh people spread positive, living energy around themselves. As soon as the petals dry out and darken, it turns into a dead flower and instead of waves of goodness and happiness, the flower begins to spread negativity around itself. Do you really need to keep a personal source of bad mood in your house?
- In the old days, women strictly forbade their daughters to dry flowers received from their loved ones, citing the fact that the guy’s feelings would dry up along with the petals.
But if a rose standing in a vase suddenly sprouts, don’t be afraid to replant it and try to grow it. You know, a very good message came to you with this bouquet, even if the flower doomed to wither rose up and gave birth to a new life!
Tradition of putting to sleep pink petals Gender in front of newlyweds is one of the most romantic... and most unloved signs! Great amount Fading petals are believed to be a real magnet for all kinds of misfortunes. True, I must say, these signs rarely justify themselves. Apparently, the many positive emotions inherent in a wedding day offset bad predictions.
Would you like some tea with some romance?
But a few petals plucked from a beauty standing in a vase and thrown into a teapot with tea leaves are an excellent omen. Those who drink tea with the original additive from time to time are promised longevity and health. One condition, you can not buy a flower yourself. It should be given to you, and with the best of intentions.
What signs are considered bad?
Even the beautiful rose should be feared at times. For example, a prick of her sharp thorn promises disappointment in a loved one or a quarrel with your loved one. And how much trouble can a bouquet with even number! The unfortunate donor is immediately accused of best case scenario in sloppiness, and at worst - an attempt to harm human life and health! And all because once upon a time even numbers were considered a bad symbol leading to death.
How to neutralize the meaning of a bad omen
However, not everything is so simple, because the language of flowers is diverse and allows different interpretations the same characters:
- Two roses given to a young girl portend an engagement or a wedding.
- 10 give to express their admiration.
- 12 is allowed to be brought with you to a first date or any anniversary.
- 36 pieces will not only cost the donor a tidy sum, but also means his warm wishes for happiness and fun for you.
- And it is always appropriate to present to the hero of the day as many copies as they are old. And it doesn't matter whether it's 15 or 50.
Many experts on omens agree that the number of flowers in a bouquet matters only as long as their number does not exceed 10 pieces. After this significant number, the sign is canceled by itself and ceases to be effective. Tell me, what woman would think of being offended when she receives 100 as a gift? Red roses? How about 1000? And, as the song says, a million?!
IN as a last resort you can simply pull out the extra even one from your armful and make yourself a boutonniere from it. Everyone is happy and you look great.
The thorn, which predicts disappointment and quarrels, should be immediately broken off and thrown into the vase where the flower stands. Consider that you “got even” with him on the spot: he sent you a bundle of negativity in the form of a bad prediction, and you “kicked him back.” And everyone stayed to their own.
By and large, what matters is not so much the color and quantity as the emotional mood of the person who gave you the bouquet. Presented with sincere love flowers will always bring with them a charge of good emotions. But in the hands of a spiteful critic, even a luxurious bouquet of 101 scarlet roses will not yield anything good. If you wish, check the signs, but trust your heart more. It will tell you for what purpose this or that flower was given.
Since ancient times flowers served the best remedy to express feelings, emotions and were distinctive sign attention and respect for the girl.
But men are still at a loss: what types of flowers are most popular with females, what color of bouquet is best to choose and how to make it last as long as possible in a vase. It is said that the flower retains its freshness depending on the strength of the giver's love. Well, let's talk about flowers.
Traditions and customs.
Cultivated flowers also in Ancient Rome during the reign of Nero. At that time, hundreds of gardeners were engaged in roses, because at every feast of the emperor, his guests were showered with petals of these flowers.
