In the ancient Roman Empire, a goddess named Flora was worshiped by everyone. Since she was a symbol of the harvest and springtime, the Romans used to pick the most beautiful flowers they could find to offer to Flora in order to receive her blessing. Then, as time went by, this tradition took another form since the flowers were meant to bring luck and prosperity to the people who received them.

Birth month flowers are a tradition that goes back to ancient times. Each month of the year is assigned a flower, which has a particular symbolism.

A very original birth flower arrangement!

If you are looking for an even more original gift, here is a suggestion to make a real impact: create a birth bouquet combining fresh flowers and small gifts. The idea is to roll up clothes and accessories for newborns (pajamas, bodysuits, bibs, hats...) to imitate a cone reminiscent of the shape of a rose. With the help of a florist, all you have to do is add beautiful flowers in your creation that match the colors of the newborn baby's kit. This is definitely a gift that will delight the new mother as well.

To change a little from the traditional floral arrangement, you can find some unusual floral gifts designed to impress young parents. Moreover, these gifts can be kept for years. So they will be a wonderful reminder of a baby's first days of life, and the joy that comes with it.

A crown of flowers

This original gift can be worn by a baby during a photo session, or even during his baptism. To mark the occasion and also celebrate the young mother, it is possible to offer a pair of matching crowns for her and her child.

A perennial flowering plant, to see it bloom every year

For a family involved in nature and gardening, you can direct your choice to a perennial flowering plant, such as a Bougainvillea, Hydrangea, Fuchsia, or even an Arum that can be replanted in the garden and bloom every year on the baby's birthday.

A teddy bear in roses

If you want to give a flowery gift that can also be a decoration for the baby's room, you can opt for a teddy bear made of roses! This tender little teddy bear, which comes in many colors, will sublimate the room of the child and be part of his first years.

If you are hoping to give a Flower arrangement that will be future-proof and that baby will appreciate over the years, it is also possible to go for artificial flowers. Either way, the florist can help you to "bring to life" the most adorable birth bouquet.
