Fathers Day

Yes, flowers are a great Father’s Day gift. Many men appreciate bold bouquets featuring large, striking flowers in warm shades of yellow, orange, red and purple. However, if your dad or father figure prefers a beautiful bunch of roses or a pastel-coloured bouquet, choose flowers that match his personal taste.

Absolutely. Giving a man flowers for Father’s Day is a thoughtful way to make him happy and show your appreciation. The colours, shapes and fragrances of flowers can create positive emotions in both men and women. The reaction may differ, but receiving such a personal gesture can be just as meaningful.

If you know your dad or father figure’s preferences, choose a Father’s Day bouquet that matches his personal taste. If you are unsure, arrangements featuring large, bold flowers in warm orange and red shades are generally an excellent choice.

In Antwerp, Father’s Day is traditionally celebrated on 19 March, St Joseph’s Day, as Saint Joseph is regarded in the Catholic tradition as the patron saint of fathers. In much of the rest of Belgium, Father’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of June.

Yes, the vast majority of our local florists are available around Father’s Day. However, we recommend having the flowers delivered to your dad the day before so he can enjoy his bouquet throughout the entire weekend.

Of course. Father’s Day is also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your grandfather, father-in-law, stepdad or another father figure. They also play an important role in your life and deserve to be surprised with a beautiful bouquet.

The gladiolus traditionally symbolises strength, courage and perseverance. Sunflowers and carnations are also excellent choices for a Father’s Day bouquet because of their associations with strength, admiration and affection.

Traditionally, giving flowers was mainly associated with women. However, attitudes are changing and more and more men appreciate receiving a bouquet of flowers. In recent years, this old taboo has gradually disappeared, making flowers an increasingly natural gift for men.

To create a bold Father’s Day bouquet, choose large, structured flowers and strong colours. Gladioli, sunflowers, orange roses, carnations and thistles are particularly popular and can be combined to create a modern arrangement with plenty of character.

Besides Father’s Day, there are many occasions to give flowers to a man, including birthdays, moving house, starting a new job, wedding anniversaries, wishing him a speedy recovery or simply surprising him for no particular reason.
