How to Pick the Right New Baby Flowers

When choosing flowers to celebrate a new baby, think about the parents' tastes, the colours they like and where the arrangement is likely to be displayed. You can also take inspiration from the season, with Canadian florists able to recommend flowers that are looking their best at the time.

1. Consider softer colours such as pink, peach, yellow, lilac or white for a gentle arrangement, or choose brighter colours if you know the parents would prefer something more vibrant.
2. Be mindful of fragrance. New parents may appreciate flowers with a lighter scent, particularly when the bouquet will be displayed in a smaller room.
3. Think about the parents' favourite flowers or colours. Choosing something you know they'll love can make your congratulations feel much more personal.
4. You don't have to stick to traditional pink or blue. Yellow, white, orange and mixed seasonal colours can all create a beautiful new baby arrangement.
5. Consider an arrangement that's easy to display and care for. With a newborn to look after, something simple and ready to enjoy can be particularly welcome.
