With flowers

Ice, ice, baby!

To help would-be Torvill & Deans to forget their bumps and bruises, the Give Girls will be visiting the Tower of London ice skating rink this week with ‘pick-me-up’ bouquets (1st and 2nd Dec, 5pm onwards).

We will also be spreading smiles at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland this weekend, handing out bouquets to people ‘getting a lift’ on the big wheel, and will be bringing smiley Flowers to Zippos Circus audiences (3rd and 4th Dec, midday onwards).

Say it with a card

For every bunch of lilies you buy from a participating florist you will receive a superb set of stylish lily cards as a free gift. Each card tells the reader something about the symbolism of the lily, and there is a card suitable to send for every occasion. Lovely to look at and a pleasure to receive.

 

In the Middle Ages the lily was the symbol of peace. Even today lilies are still wonderful for making amends.

Use pink lilies to wish someone good luck and wealth. A lavish bouquet on a beautifully laid table adds an air of luxury and celebration.

The white lily symbolises our departure from our earthly existence and also stands for pure innocence. This is why the Virgin Mary is often depicted with a white lily.

Lily symbolism dates back many centuries. The Ancient Greeks offered a gift of a rose and a lily to a pregnant woman. If the woman chose the rose, the baby would be a girl and if she chose the lily it would be a boy.

The pink lily is the most feminine of all flowers and a large bouquet of them is the ultimate gift.d
