A florist's guide to birthday bouquets: which flowers to give a woman, a man, a friend or a colleague, how many to give and how much it costs — with delivery across Moscow.
A birthday is the most common occasion that brings people to us: everyone has one, and it is not tied to a season. Over fourteen years, we, the Lacy Bird florists, have made tens of thousands of birthday bouquets and arrived at a simple rule: a good gift bouquet reflects the person it is meant for, rather than simply being "bright for the sake of it". Let us look at how to choose.
> In short. A birthday bouquet is chosen to suit the person: for a woman, tenderness or vibrancy according to her taste; for a man, a graphic mono bouquet; for a friend, mood and colour; for a colleague, a restrained compliment. An odd number of flowers is given. A compact bouquet starts from 3 500 ₽, a medium one is 5 000–12 000 ₽, a premium one starts from 15 000 ₽. Delivery across Moscow can be ordered for the same day.

Which bouquet to give: by recipient
For a woman
Start from her taste. If she loves the delicate, choose peony-type roses, lisianthus, hydrangea and a powdery palette. If she loves bold colour, choose rich dahlias, roses and contrasting combinations. If you are not sure, peony-type roses in a soft palette never fail.
For a man
A graphic mono bouquet of a single variety, a strict palette and shape, minimal decoration. Dark tulips, roses in deep shades and understated greenery work well. For more, see the section of bouquets for men in the catalogue.
For a friend
Here you can play with colour and mood: bright mixes, unusual varieties, a "delicious" palette. A good choice is a bouquet with character that conveys your warm relationship.
For a colleague or business partner
A restrained, neat compliment with no personal undertone. A neutral palette, medium size. If you are congratulating on behalf of a company, it is convenient to place a corporate order.
How many flowers to give
By tradition, an odd number of flowers is given for celebrations (an even number is for mourning). This rule holds while the bouquet is small: 5, 7, 15, 25. In large bouquets and signature compositions the number is no longer noticeable — volume and shape matter more than an exact count of stems. Mono bouquets are often made with 15, 25, 51 or 101 flowers.
Birthday bouquet trends for 2026
- Personality. A bouquet made for a specific person, not a "universal bright one".
- Signature mixes and mono bouquets. A composed arrangement or a single variety in its purest form — instead of a motley "assembly of everything".
- Seasonal accents. Peonies and dahlias in summer, hydrangea and dahlias in autumn, tulips and ranunculus in spring: seasonal flowers are fresher and better value.
- A bouquet and a reason to continue the celebration. Flowers with a card or a small compliment.
