Some occasions are loaded with meaning, and the giving of flowers commemorates that. In other cases, a flower gift imbues something with meaning, fixing an event in our hearts and minds. At Currans Flowers, we have category upon category of flower, with virtually every occasion represented. But there are times when flowers really matter, and they aren’t necessarily associated with a holiday. Instead, they are attached to special moments unique to you and the floral recipient, and those are some of our favorite flower exchanges to be a part of.

When you’re giving for a reason that is personal to you, you can be imaginative and creative in what you select. You may be able to take more of your recipient’s personal preferences into account and offer them something that you know they will truly love, since it isn’t dictated by a formal occasion or a holiday. So if you’ve got a fan of orchids on your hands, give them this Bountiful Orchid Vase and watch them light up.

We love a design that commits to one flower and doesn’t introduce anything else (though in this case, fern makes a lovely counterpoint). It feels substantive and meaningful to offer something other than a mix, and here, orchids make a resonant point.
