Question 1

Can I combine flowers from two different birth months in one bouquet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's actually a popular choice for couples or families with birthdays in different months. Just make sure the colors and bloom seasons work together reasonably well.

Question 2

What if my birth flower isn't in season?

Accepted Answer

Most florists can suggest a substitute with similar meaning and appearance, or you can special-order the flower for a higher price. Checking the bloom season ahead of time usually saves both money and disappointment.

Question 3

Are any birth flowers unsafe to include in a bouquet?

Accepted Answer

Lily of the valley, larkspur, and narcissus are toxic if ingested, so keep them away from pets and small children, and consider a substitute if the household has either.

Question 4

How much does a custom birth flower bouquet usually cost?

Accepted Answer

A small, simple arrangement typically runs $40 to $80 depending on the florist and flowers chosen. Larger arrangements with out-of-season or specialty blooms can run well over $100.
