‘Apology Accepted’ with a Bouquet of Flowers
Sometimes it’s not enough to simply say your sorry. Time will generally heal most things, but if you can’t wait then flowers and gifts can certainly speed up the process.
Why do people like flowers?
Flowers by themselves have little practical value other than looking and smelling pleasant. Instead, the value in a flower is the symbolism of thought, care or even romance. You’ve gone out of your way to pick something beautiful for somebody who you obviously care enough to spend money and time on.
Do all females appreciate flowers?
There is an age old stereotype that flowers will fix everything if you give them to your girlfriend, wife or any female friend who you have done wrong. While anybody regardless of gender will acknowledge your good intentions, every woman won’t fall head over heels for you over a bunch of Lily’s.
While you aren’t likely to get your pansies pushed back into your face or your tulips trampled on, it doesn’t mean your sorry will instantly be accepted. The woman you’re sending or delivering flowers to might simply be after something of practical use. What good are flowers if you’re never home to see or smell them, or you care little for them in the first place?
How to maximize the dramatic affect of your bouquet
Feel the simple knock on the door holding a bouquet with a sympathetic face won’t cut it this time? You might want to step it up a notch. Here are a few suggestions to help you get that desired effect for sympathy. Your florist should be able to create a special arrangement of flowers or even gifts to perfectly suit your scenario. All it will take from you is a heart-felt card and some quality timing:
- Get them delivered to his/her work: They will likely feel proud and loved in front of their colleagues, if not a bit embarrassed.
- Have the waiter deliver them in the middle of dinner: Go to dinner (a romantic one if it’s your significant other) and have them sent out the flowers. From there all you need to do is throw in a quick explanation while their guard is down and their hearts are up.
- Leave them waiting: Maybe what’s happened is so bad you don’t think you could even be in their presence. If this is case, leaving flowers carefully positioned in a place they will find them such as their doorstep may do the trick of re-patching your relationship.
