New Baby Flowers

Some babies are born early, while others come out late. As a result, most people choose to send flowers when they hear that the mother has gone into labour or they hear the child has been born.

Sending flowers directly to the new mother's home is generally the best option. In recent years, many hospitals have chosen to ban flowers on some wards due to concerns about allergies. Additionally, sending flowers to the mother’s home means they have fewer items to transport home, which they’ll appreciate.

When you hear that the baby and mother are returning home, you can use a same or next-day service to ensure your gift reaches them both in time. However, it’s perfectly acceptable practice to send a gift weeks after the baby is born too. 

Pink flowers are an excellent traditional option when you want to express your congratulations on a baby girl. Roses, irises, carnations, and tulips are popular choices.

Pink flowers symbolise love, happiness, gentleness, and femininity, which is why they are an excellent choice for a baby girl.

Blue flowers are an excellent traditional option for celebrating the birth of a baby boy.

Blue flowers symbolise love, desire, hope, and beauty, which is why they are a great choice as baby shower flowers for a boy or as a gift to congratulate a mother on her new arrival.

Each month has an associated flower or two. For example, January has the Carnation and the Snowdrop, while February has Violet and Primroses. If you want to celebrate the birth of a child, you can choose a bouquet that symbolises the birth month of the new arrival.
