Sending flowers is a beautiful way to celebrate the arrival of a new baby. There are many options available year-round, as well as some delightful seasonal choices. You may not be sure what to pick since baby bouquets don't follow clear traditions. Here are the answers to some common questions to help you decide.

A Guide to Choosing New Baby Flowers

What should I choose for a girl?

The pink flowers in a baby girl’s bouquet can include roses, pink hydrangeas, daisies, carnations, and lilies. Add a splash of purple for contrast with asters, carnations, lilacs, or lavender roses. Baby’s breath is a standard filler that’s especially appropriate for the occasion.

What should I choose for a boy?

The same hydrangeas available in pink for a girl’s bouquet also come in light blue for a baby boy. Delphinium is another beautiful blue blossom that can stand tall above the shorter flowers. Some contrasting yellow and white hues can add playful touches, so choose roses or daisies in these colors. You can also display these bouquets in a themed vase, such as one shaped like a sailboat.

Are there seasonal choices?

If you prefer a gender-neutral option, choose seasonal blooms to celebrate the specific month of a baby’s birth. For example, a March baby will receive daffodils, while a May baby will receive lilies. Summer babies will receive roses in June, larkspurs in July, and gladiolus in August. Your florist may also offer other seasonal options if the baby is born around a particular holiday.

Are there other gender-neutral choices?

For a general baby bouquet, look for bright, cheerful yellows or pastel colors. Carnations are a common choice because they don't have a strong scent. Tulips are also available in many attractive options, such as cream or pale yellow. If you can't decide between pink and blue flowers, you can mix and match them.
