The Complete Guide to Choosing Graduation Flowers in Singapore

In Singapore, gifting graduation flowers is a heartfelt way to celebrate a graduate’s big day, symbolising success, new beginnings, and the love and support of family and friends.

But with so many flower options available, choosing the perfect graduation bouquet can feel overwhelming. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the perfect graduation bouquet effortlessly. Let’s dive in! 

Tip 1 – Understand the Graduate’s Personality

Everyone has a unique personality, and the right graduation bouquet should reflect that. Choosing flowers that match their character makes the gift more meaningful and memorable. Here are some ideas based on different personality types:

1. For someone with a sweet tooth

Have a friend who enjoys sinking their teeth into all things sweet? Make your loved one’s day with our Sweet Treat bouquet. This simple, yet delightful graduation bouquet includes fresh Hypericum Berries, pretty Cotton Flowers and is topped with Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Chocolate graduation bouquets, like traditional flower bouquets, are not only visually appealing but also come with the added advantage of being an edible bliss. Feel free to put in a request to our experienced florists if you have a specific colour theme or style in mind!

2. For someone soft-hearted

Our Daisy Snorlax Graduation bouquet is a great option for a friend who has a soft spot for plush toys. It’s hard to resist this adorable plush graduation bouquet when it is well-decorated with beautiful floral arrangements that consist of luscious Gerbera Daisies sitting on a bed of colourful Baby Breaths. Known as the “Sleeping Pokémon”, the Snorlax plush toy even has a mortarboard atop its head to commemorate your loved one’s special day!

If you are looking for something more bright-coloured, then the Chipper The Bunny graduation bouquet would be right up your alley. These playful graduation flowers are made up of the classic Rose flowers, coupled with dyed Baby’s Breath flowers to give it a more upbeat look! The little bunny right in the middle of the graduation bouquet adds a whimsical touch to the already fun bouquet, giving the recipient something to remember you by even after the flowers have withered away.

Even after adding the bouquet to your cart, you have the option to make your graduation flowers extra special by adding another plush toy to accompany the bouquet for only $12.99!

3. For someone who loves personalised gifts

With our Uniquely Made bouquet, you are free to customise your floral arrangements. This graduation bouquet is especially great if your loved one is someone who loves a specific array of flowers. If you are unsure where to begin, start by choosing their favourite flowers and mix them up. It would be great if you take into consideration their favourite colours too. For those looking to put together a more meaningful graduation bouquet, you may consider going with their birth flower. 

All you have to do is pick a graduation bouquet theme and send us a brief description of your recipient as well as the occasion. Letting us know what colours you would like to avoid would be helpful too so that our team of florists will be able to curate the perfect graduation flowers for your loved one.

4. For someone who loves a classic bouquet

Last but not least, you can never go wrong with a classic bouquet of roses or sunflowers. We are located just next to a flower market, so our wide range of flowers is freshly picked every day. If you’re looking for the perfect graduation flowers to brighten your loved one’s day, you can count on our Rainbow Garden and Sunrise bouquets to do just that. 

The Rainbow Garden bouquet is an assortment of Baby’s Breath that has been meticulously dyed by our florists. You can choose from three or six roses to be placed right in the centre of this beautiful bouquet. Alternatively, you can celebrate your loved one’s intelligence with our Sunrise graduation bouquet, which comprises three sunflowers in full bloom, adorned with pom pom flowers, eucalyptus and yellow phoenix foliage. Yellow flowers typically symbolise friendship and happiness, making this bouquet the perfect graduation gift to uplift your loved one’s spirits!

Consider the Size of the Bouquet

Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to graduation bouquets. While large, extravagant arrangements make a statement, they might be difficult for the graduate to carry around during the ceremony. A medium-sized or compact bouquet can be both elegant and practical, ensuring they can enjoy their flowers without hassle. If the graduate is heading to a celebratory meal after the ceremony, a bouquet that’s easy to handle will be much appreciated.

Fresh vs. Dried Flowers: Which One to Choose?

Both fresh and dried flowers have their appeal, and choosing between them depends on personal preference and longevity.

– Fresh flowers bring vibrancy, fragrance, and a classic touch to graduation celebrations. Their lively appearance makes them a popular choice for gifting on the day itself.

– Dried flowers offer a long-lasting alternative, making them a great keepsake to remember the special occasion. They also require little to no maintenance, making them perfect for graduates who love decor that lasts.

If you want a mix of both, consider preserved flowers, which retain the beauty of fresh flowers but have the lasting power of dried blooms.

Add a Personal Touch with Customisation

Customising a graduation bouquet adds a thoughtful touch, making it even more special for the recipient. For a sentimental touch, consider adding a soft toy to accompany the flowers, making the gift even more delightful. A personalised gift card is another great way to express your heartfelt congratulations, allowing you to share a meaningful message that the graduate can keep as a memento. 

At Flowers and Kisses, we offer a variety of customisation options to help tailor the bouquet to suit the graduate’s personality and preferences.
