How to Choose a Birthday Bouquet: Tips from ROZY Florists

Birthdays are one of the most popular reasons to order flowers. But how do you pick a bouquet that is guaranteed to delight? ROZY florists share their practical tips.

1. Consider the age of the birthday person

Age is one of the key factors when choosing a bouquet:

• Kids and teens — bright, colorful bouquets: gerberas, chrysanthemums, tulips.
• Young women (18–35) — on-trend styles: peony roses, lisianthus, Korean-style wrapping.
• Women 35–55 — the classics: roses, lilies and hydrangeas in soft tones.
• Older women — chrysanthemums, gladioli, asters — traditional, long-lasting flowers.
• Men — understated mono bouquets or exotic flowers: anthuriums, orchids, tropical arrangements.

2. Match the flowers to the recipient's personality

3. How many flowers should the bouquet have?

In Kazakhstan (as in Russia), the custom is to give an odd number of flowers: 9, 11, 15, 25, 51, 101. Even numbers (2, 4, 6) are traditionally reserved for mourning occasions.

Popular options by budget:

• 9 roses — from 9 000 ₸ (a small yet stylish bouquet)
• 15 roses — from 12 800 ₸ (the sweet spot)
• 25 roses — from 21 000 ₸ (an impressive gift)
• 51 roses — from 42 400 ₸ (for truly special occasions)
