Quick answer
Bright, mixed-colour bouquets (gerberas, sunflowers, mixed bunches) work well for most birthdays. For a more elevated gift, pair a bouquet with a small gift hamper, balloon or bottle of something celebratory.
A birthday is one of the most common occasions for ordering flowers, and also one of the easiest to get right, because the brief is simple: something cheerful.
Choosing by relationship
For a parent, sibling or close friend, a bright mixed bunch or a bouquet with their favourite colour is almost always a safe, well-received choice. For a partner, a more romantic arrangement — roses or a vase arrangement — suits the occasion better.
Choosing by age
Bold, saturated colours (gerberas, sunflowers, mixed bunches) tend to suit younger recipients and milestone birthdays. Softer, more classic arrangements — roses, lilies, ranunculus — tend to suit more formal or milestone adult birthdays, like a 50th or 60th.
Adding an extra
A balloon, a small box of chocolates, or a bottle of sparkling wine alongside the flowers turns a simple bouquet into a more complete birthday gift, without much extra planning.
