I am one of those who does not appreciate receiving or even gifting formal bouquets given at weddings, engagements or any such celebration where bouquets are gifted as a formality. However, the same bouquet means so much more to me when gifted otherwise, on a personal level.
So is it the occassion that matters or is it the expression of an individual's feelings on a particular occassion that makes the difference? It is most definitely the feelings that matter. Gifting a bouquet of flowers might not mean anything more than a formality to someone, as gifting flowers could be an easy way out instead of hunting for a gift. However for some, gifting a single flower could speak volumes, without uttering a word.
A bunch of flowers or just one flower from the one who genuinely cares could make a huge difference to the day when one is feeling low. The feeling of care, affection, empathy and even love can be easily conveyed through the gesture of gifting flowers. Flowers are blessed with the power to heal. To make a dull day brighter. A lot of feelings can be expressed if one is not good with words.
In my recent experience, my neice got a bunch of flowers when the days were not bright and sunny for my family. The sight of the flowers brought an instant smile on my face enough to brighten up my day.
So the ones who think that flowers don't matter, you really need to reconsider. Coz they do. Do not underestimate their magical powers that bring in positivity, joy and smiles in our life.
