Graduation season is just around the corner here in Montreal! Throughout late May and early June, students from across the city will be proudly donning their caps and gowns, celebrating years of hard work at renowned institutions like McGill, Concordia, Université de Montréal (UdeM), UQAM, HEC Montréal, and others. It's a momentous achievement deserving of a grand celebration, and what better way to honour your graduate than with a vibrant, beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers?
Why Flowers are the Perfect Graduation Gift
Flowers are more than just beautiful; they're rich with symbolism perfect for graduation:
- Success & Achievement: Bright blooms represent the successful culmination of their studies.
- Pride: Gifting flowers is a wonderful way to show just how proud you are.
- New Beginnings: Like flowers blossoming, graduation marks the start of a new chapter full of potential.
- Celebration: Flowers instantly add a festive, celebratory touch to the day.
Bouquet Ideas Fit for a Montreal Graduate
Consider these styles when choosing the perfect arrangement:
- Bright & Bold Celebration: Capture the excitement and optimism of graduation with vibrant colours. Think sunny yellows, celebratory oranges, joyful pinks, and confident purples.
- Elegant & Sophisticated: For a more classic acknowledgment, consider elegant arrangements. Classic roses in white, cream, or peach, or even bouquets incorporating chic stems like calla lilies can offer a sophisticated touch.
- Beautiful Seasonal Blooms: Late May and June in Montreal offer gorgeous seasonal choices. Peonies might be making their grand entrance, hydrangeas could be starting, and classics like roses and calla lilie are always available. Ask us what's freshest!
Practical Tips for Gifting Graduation Flowers
- Ceremony Logistics: Will the graduate carry the flowers during or immediately after the ceremony? If so, a slightly smaller, easy-to-hold bouquet might be best for photos. You can always have a larger arrangement waiting at home or the celebration venue!
- Delivery or Hand-Off? Decide if you want flowers delivered directly to their home after the ceremony, or if you'll present the bouquet in person. Plan accordingly!
- Order Ahead! Graduation season is a peak time for celebrations and flower orders. Ordering your bouquet in advance ensures you get the best selection and secures your preferred delivery date and time in Montreal.
Last June, a proud father came in wanting a special bouquet for his daughter graduating from McGill. We helped him select a beautiful arrangement featuring classic white blooms, but tucked in several perfect McGill-red roses. He later told us his daughter absolutely loved the personal touch.
Celebrate Their Achievement!
Graduating from university is a huge milestone, representing dedication, perseverance, and intellect. Celebrate the bright future ahead for Montreal's newest graduates with a gift that's as vibrant and full of promise as they are.
