Flowers To Fit Pamela Anderson's Personality
If Pamela Anderson were to buy flowers for herself, what kind of arrangement would she choose? Would she pick bold, bright colors arranged in a linear design? Or, would she choose soft pastels in a loose bouquet? Regardless of the kinds of flowers and designs she chose, the resulting arrangement would say a lot about her personality. That's because people with certain personality traits are generally drawn to certain styles of flowers.
One of the best things about flowers is that they can become very personalized gifts if you just take into consideration the personality of the individual who will receive them. Everyone enjoys getting gifts, but the truth is that some gifts mean so much more than others. The gifts we remember the most are the ones that really "wow" us with their thoughtfulness and reflection of how well the giver knows us. That doesn't seem to be any mystery to any of us. In fact, a recent survey commissioned by the Society of American Florists indicates that when most Americans buy gifts, they place a high priority on picking gifts that are specific to the personality of the recipient.
When choosing a gift of flowers, think about what the person who will receive them is like. Consider his or her favorite colors, flowers, and hobbies. Think, too, about what you want the flowers to say. Discuss this information with your florist who will help you choose just the right flowers to match the recipient's "floral signature."
A floral signature is, simply, the types of floral arrangements a person might choose for him or herself. The signature takes into consideration color, style, flower choices, and accents. Floral signatures include:
* Natural: People with a casual lifestyle who like the outdoors and tend to be more earthy fall under this signature. They are often drawn to flowering or green plants, but also enjoy meadow flowers or arrangements using woodsy accents, like twigs or leaves.
* Romantic: The romantic signature is best suited to spontaneous people with a generous nature who are prone to extravagance. Floral arrangements for this signature use soft colors with a bit of fragrance. Accents include lace and ribbons.
* Expressive: People with an expressive floral signature spend time looking to better themselves and tend to like unconventional things. Flowers used here are exotic and have unusual coloring. They are arranged in unique shapes with an artistic feel.
* Traditional: Those with a traditional floral signature are trustworthy and hold their families in high regard. They like things with a classical style. They like flower arrangements that use many different kinds of flowers and are very lush.
* Contemporary: The contemporary floral signature is perfect for people who like to set the pace. They are often responsible for starting new trends and like to live in the now. Contemporary flower arrangements often use just one color or use large brightly colored blooms.
If you have difficulty deciding which of these floral signatures suits someone in your life, ask your florist for help. He or she will be able to ask you some specific questions that will help you to make that determination.
