We all know flowers are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day - but what about life’s smaller special moments? At Belles Fleurs, our friendly team in Blanchardstown loves helping customers find just the right bouquet for the in-between occasions that mean so much. Pop into our flower shop for a chat and to pick up a bunch for something special.
Here are five not-so-obvious moments where flowers can really make someone’s day:
1. Flowers for an Expecting Mother
Pregnancy is a wonderful journey — but it has its challenges (we’re looking at you, nausea and swollen ankles!). A bouquet for your best friend, wife, or partner is the perfect way to say, “I’m thinking of you” or “You’ve got this.” Soft pastels like pink roses, peonies, or gently scented white lilies create a calming, uplifting vibe that any nesting mum will appreciate. It’s a low-effort but heartfelt way to brighten her day and show your support.
2. Meet the Parents
Meeting your partner's parents for the first time can feel like a job interview — and you’ll want to make the best impression. Bringing flowers shows you’ve put thought into the visit and says a lot about the kind of person you are. We suggest something elegant and tasteful: think hydrangeas, tulips, or a seasonal mixed bouquet. Let us know the occasion and we’ll design something just right.
3. Celebrating a New Home Together
Buying or renting a home together is a big life step that deserves to be marked in a special way. Whether you’re moving in with a partner, a friend, or flying solo, flowers are a gorgeous way to celebrate your new beginning. It’s always nice to receive flowers — and just as lovely to buy them for yourself to commemorate the moment. Our sunflower bouquet is perfect for brightening your space and your photos on day one.
4. Finishing Exams
Leaving Cert stress, college exams and thesis submissions are huge milestones. Instead of a quick pint, why not give someone a more lasting token of recognition — a fresh bouquet from our Blanchardstown florist? Whether you’re saying “I’m proud of you” or “You survived!”, flowers turn a cluttered study space into a celebration. Go for bright, bold colours to match the energy of the achievement.
5. Saying a Proper Thank You
Sometimes “thank you” just doesn’t cover it. Whether a neighbour looked after your dog, a friend helped you move, or a colleague saved the day, a thoughtful bouquet speaks volumes. A classic choice like fresh daisies or chrysanthemums never fails. Our popular Florist’s Choice bouquet lets us design something beautiful with the freshest seasonal blooms.
Flowers don’t have to wait for the big events. Often it’s the smaller, unexpected gestures that make the biggest impact. So next time you’re wondering if flowers are “too much” for the moment — chances are, they’re just right.
