How to Choose the Best Get Well Soon Flowers & Gifts Online
Get well soon flowers are a great way to make a friend or family feel better. Whether they’re in the hospital or recovering at home, a get well soon bouquet delivered to their door will show how much you’re thinking about them. In this blog, we’ll talk you through the process of selecting “get well soon” flower arrangements and all the elements you should consider. Let’s get started.
What type of “get well soon” flowers should I pick?
When sending flowers to “get well soon,” you want something that is bright and cheery. Recovering from a surgery, illness, death of a friend or family member, or any other type of sad event warrants flowers that spark joy in your life. You want the recipient to look at these flowers and feel happiness and life inside them.
Some flowers are better than others for this. Our favorite picks include…
-
Daffodils
Alright, when you hear “bright and cheery” flowers, what comes to mind first? Daffodils would win for a lot of people. They’re perhaps the most popular get-well-soon flower and can brighten up any room that they’re in. While the most commonly come in yellow, they can also come in cream & peach and are available from August to September.
-
Peonies
Peonies are a spring flower that are available in November and December that offer a spectacular pop on any bedside table on which they may appear. Beautify someone’s hospital room or bedroom at home while they get well soon. Peonies are a beautiful and unique floral choice for speedy recovery flowers, which gives you all the more reason to order them. Surprise them with a get well soon bouquet of peonies they may not have received yet!
-
Sunflowers
Sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity. If you’re wishing someone the best on their recovery, then sunflowers can be the perfect get well soon flowers. They also bring happiness into any room, so you can make sure they’re feeling your good energy even when you can’t visit or be with them. Sunflowers are available in Spring (September to December).
-
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are a beautiful flower you’ll often see in gardens. Yet, they’re also appropriate to send in a get well soon bouquet. Hydrangeas represent perseverance, which makes them ideal for anyone who may be suffering from a long-term illness or challenge. You can find these in cut bouquets or select a potted version if you think the recipient would like that more! Hydrangeas are available in Summer (December to May).
-
Pansies
While not commonly grown as a commercially cut flower, Pansies symbolize the love or admiration of one person for another. The origin of the word “pansy” actually comes from the French verb “pensé(e),” which means to think. Thus, they’re the perfect gift to send when you’re thinking about someone going through a rough time.
Pansies are bold and bright while also representing loving thoughts. Although, since pansies aren’t as common in cut arrangements, you may need to select a potted floral gift if you’re set on sending these as “get well soon” flowers.
What colors are best for speedy recovery flowers?
Once you’ve narrowed down the type of flower, you may be wondering what color to choose. Well, the good news is that there’s no need to fear color when selecting “get well soon” flowers.
Although subtle colors may be more appropriate in other situations, when you’re wishing a sick or hurting loved one best, brightly colored flowers are best. They’ll bring happiness and joy into the person’s environment and help them feel loved. Don’t hold back! Go for those bright yellows and pinks and vivid purples or blues that you may not tend toward otherwise.
What else should I keep in mind?
When you’re giving “get well soon” flowers, you want to make sure you consider other factors as well.
-
Seasonality
While there are some beautiful blooms named above, not all of them are in season all year long. For example, sunflowers typically bloom during summer and into autumn.
-
Long-lasting flowers
Some flowers last longer than others. Keep this in mind so that someone can have flowers in their room while they’re recovering for a couple of weeks instead of a couple of days.
-
Low maintenance blooms
Choose flowers that thrive on just sunlight and water. Anything that requires more attention may not fare well when someone is focused on their recovery.
Final thoughts
There are no wrong choices when you’re looking to send “get well soon” flowers. When they arrive, the recipient will undoubtedly appreciate and admire whichever blooms you chose. That said, selecting one of the above choices in bright colors can absolutely communicate the healing thoughts you’re sending to the other person.
