A Guide to Father's Day Flowers

Flowers are often seen as the most popular gift for Mother's Day, but they may get overlooked when it comes round to the father figures in people's lives.

Father's Day is on the way, and if you think someone would love to see a bright and beautiful bouquet on their doorstep on Sunday 18th of June, then we've created this guide for you.

Here at flowersbypost.com, we ship many flowers to unexpecting Dads on this special day, and here's how you can show some floral appreciation to your father figure this year.

Let's take a look.

The History of Father's Day

The birth of Father's Day is often credited to a lady named Sonora Smart Dodd.

In 1909, she petitioned her local community to create a day on which she could honour her father, much like the corresponding Mother's Day which had just been celebrated.

The following year the first Father's Day celebration took place in Washington, and from then the popularity of this day grew before it was much more widespread.

While different cultures and locations celebrate on different days, here in the UK we stick to the same date of mid-June to show some appreciation.

Father's Day took a while to make its way across the Atlantic, and it wasn't until 1972 that the event become official on UK shores.

It is now widely celebrated with family gatherings and gifts, of which flowers are a great choice.

From the first few events to the modern day, Father's Day has been a way to show appreciation to a father figure who means a lot to you, and it is a great time to show your appreciation and express your love.

Why Flowers Make a Great Father's Day Gift

Flowers make a great choice for a Father's Day gift for many reasons, including:

It's Something a bit Different - Take a look through any of the lists of most popular Father's Day gifts and you're unlikely to see flowers. This actually makes them a great gift to choose, as it is something out of the ordinary and shows you have really put some thought into picking something that is unique and meaningful.

They're Packed with Symbolism - Speaking of meaning, flowers are packed with them. If you want to let your father figure know how you feel about them, picking the right bouquet of flowers is a great way to do so. Whether you want to convey gratitude or recognise love and appreciation, there will be the perfect flower to do just that in our collection.

They're Versatile - Flowers make such a great gift as they go perfectly when paired with other items. If you can add a little personalised gift to a bouquet, such as a flower card or some chocolates, then you are well on the way to creating the perfect Father's Day package. A card especially is a great way to express your gratitude and showcase your appreciation.

There are many other reasons flowers work so well as a Father's Day gift, so if you're thinking of sending a bouquet to the father figure in your life, here are some great options to choose from.
