Taboos for Sending Flowers Baskets

Sending flower gifts is one of the methods modern Hong Kong people use to socialize with others, however, for different occasions we should send different style flower gifts. It’s important to understand what floral gifts to send for different social settings. This time GGB Flower Shop takes the opening flower basket as an example to explain the dos and don’ts of sending flower baskets.

What do you need to consider when sending a grand opening floral stand?

People in Hong Kong like double numbers, because they have the saying of “good things come in pairs and double the happiness”. If the gift recipient is our close family members or friends, we can choose to send a pair of flower baskets to them to express our heartfelt wishes. If it is a congratulatory gift between two companies, you may choose to send one flower gift or a pair of elegant flower baskets to them to show that you value the partnership and look forward to the future cooperation.

What are the taboos for sending a flower basket?

For some traditional Hong Kong businessmen, they sometimes can be quite "superstitious." As most flowers have their own flower languages, it will be a big mistake to send an inappropriate congratulatory flower basket to others with the wrong messages. Some flowers are very beautiful, like mandala and chrysanthemum, but they are not suitable to use as flowers for opening flower baskets. The language of the mandala flower is infinite love and revenge, representing unpredictable death and love, and the purple mandala represents terror. Chrysanthemum symbolizes purity and elegance, but now it is mostly used for funerals, so the above two kinds of flowers should be avoided in the joyous events like grand opening ceremony.
