The right arrangement can make for a heartfelt, yet professional sign of thoughtfulness for the right occasions. Whether it’s a client that deserves congratulations, a colleague in need of a heartfelt thank you, or staff requiring some comfort after a loss, flowers can say it all. Fresh, fragrant, and always appreciated, they’re a visual reminder of your attention and an easy way to strengthen professional relationships.
Better still, you can effortlessly pick and send the right arrangement if you follow these five key tips for ordering flowers for corporate gifts.
Tip 1: Match the Occasion and Recipient
Imagine sending red roses to a new client, sunflowers to a business that just lost their CEO, or a giant bouquet to a company with a tiny office space. All run the risk of sending the wrong message. That’s because your flower choice should fit the recipient and the moment.
Every bloom carries meaning, and what works in your personal life might not hit right in a professional setting. There is room for creativity in thank-you, sympathy, or congrats arrangements, just make sure your bouquet matches the occasion and the relationship.
Tip 2: Go Neutral and Stylish
If you want flowers that can flex to any moment, location, or client, keep it chic and understated. Whites, creams, soft greens, and pastels are professional and can fit nearly any setting or situation.
Prefer a more colorful statement? Try these color cues:
Thank-yous: Warm yellows, greenery
Congrats: Punchy oranges, purples
Sympathy: Subtle creams, whites.
Whatever you choose, consider the scale; a tall arrangement may rock a reception area or lobby, while a compact choice can slide onto a desk or small office space.
In all cases, skip the romance (namely long-stemmed red roses) or flamboyance (think tropical explosions), unless you are confident of the recipient’s preferences.
Tip 3: Consider Branding Opportunities
Want a more personal yet professional presentation? Go on-brand with blooms that reflect the company’s colors or the event. Check the company’s logo for color references, or consider what the company does; greens and whites work for a sustainability business, while a low cube or compact modern arrangement, while pink is perfect for a women’s health event.
Tip 4: Delivery Logistics for Offices
For flower delivery, it’s best to go with locals when possible. Floral designers in your recipient’s delivery area are likely to know the nuances on how to best get your order into corporate and multi-tenant buildings. For seamless delivery, once you choose your flowers, make sure you add all the delivery essentials:
Double-check the address. Include the company name, suite number, and floor if applicable.
Confirm business and package-receiving hours. Offices may close earlier than you think.
Know the front desk policy. Some buildings accept deliveries on behalf of tenants; others don’t.
Add a contact name and phone number at the delivery location so florists or couriers can reach the right person fast, if needed.
Leave delivery notes if needed. Details , such as “use the side entrance,” “leave at front desk,” or “deliver before noon,” help avoid snafus.
Tip 5: Add a Card With the Right Messaging
The accompanying card may be small, but with the right message, its impact is mighty. Get to the point: Include the recipient’s name and yours with your reason for the delivery. Keep it warm and professional and skip anything overly emotional or ambiguous.
Want examples, borrow from these:
“Congratulations on your new launch! Wishing you continued success.”
“Thanks for your partnership. We appreciate you.”
“Thinking of your team during this difficult time.”
With DoorDash’s gifting flow, you can include a personalized digital card during checkout, so your sentiment can arrive with the bouquet or via email in advance.
