Most people pick flowers based on how pretty they look or how much they cost—but if you’re hoping to make someone feel truly seen, it’s worth digging a little deeper. The best bouquets feel like they were made just for the person receiving them. And in South Morang, where we see so many different personalities walk into our florist shop every week, matching the bouquet to someone’s style of being can make all the difference.
This guide will walk you through how to match flower styles with common personality types—so you don’t just send flowers. You send a message.
The Romantic: Soft, Sentimental, and Full of Feeling
Romantics love deep emotion, soft textures, and meaningful gestures. Think of the friend who keeps every birthday card or tears up during wedding speeches. For people like this, flowers aren’t just decoration—they’re a love language.
What works?
Look for blooms with soft petals and gentle scents: peonies, tulips, garden roses. They feel warm, layered, and intimate. If you want something unique, ask your local florist for pastel ranunculus or locally grown sweet peas.
To keep it from feeling too traditional, go for soft colour blends—blush, lavender, dusty pink—not just bright red. Wrap it in silk ribbon or brown paper to keep the vibe romantic but grounded.
The Bold: Loud Colours, Big Energy, and Strong Shapes
If the person you’re buying for lights up every room they walk into or never backs down from a challenge, they probably fall into the “bold” category. These are the statement-makers—the ones who want their flowers to make an impact.
Sunflowers, lilies, bird of paradise, king proteas—they’re all striking and full of personality. Local South Morang florists often stock these through the warmer months, especially proteas from Victorian growers.
Want it to pop? Use high-contrast colours like orange and purple or hot pink with deep green. The bouquet doesn’t need to be huge—it just needs structure and attitude.
The Minimalist: Clean, Calm, and Understated
Minimalists aren’t impressed by size or flash. They appreciate clean lines, neutral tones, and well-considered simplicity. If you’re buying flowers for someone who keeps their home neat, wears classic colours, or loves quiet mornings—you’re dealing with a minimalist.
Single-stem orchids, white roses, and simple foliage (like silver dollar eucalyptus) all work beautifully. Locally, these are easy to source and last well.
Choose smooth textures, neutral colours, and neat wrapping. Bonus? These kinds of bouquets look equally stunning in modern apartments or older-style South Morang homes.
The Nature-Lover: Wild, Earthy, and Down-to-Earth
Some people love the feeling of being outdoors, even when they’re inside. They care about where things come from, how they’re made, and the impact they leave behind. That’s your nature-lover—and they’ll appreciate flowers that feel unforced, natural, and locally grown.
Look for flannel flowers, billy buttons, banksia, or waxflower—many of which are grown in Victoria. These don’t need fancy arranging. Loose, wild shapes feel more authentic to this personality type.
Ask your South Morang florist if they offer plastic-free packaging, recycled paper wraps, or reusable jars—these small details matter to the nature-lover.
The Fun & Playful: Bright, Bubbly, and Always Surprising
These are the people who laugh loud, love hard, and probably have at least one room in their house with bright colours or fun patterns. They like gifts that make them smile the moment they open them.
Gerberas, celosia, statice, or even curly willow can create lively, playful textures. These blooms travel well too—great for local flower delivery around South Morang.
Try fun colour combos like coral and gold, teal and peach, or lavender with lime green. The key is to surprise, not overwhelm.
So… How Do You Know What Type They Are?
If you’re unsure, don’t guess based on colour. Ask them what kind of home décor they like. Pay attention to their clothing style or the kinds of gifts they’ve loved in the past. A minimalist won’t want a bright sunflower bouquet, and a romantic might find native flowers too rugged
