Engagement Flowers: Celebratory, Not Funeral-Formal

Engagement flowers can be romantic or simply celebratory. Garden roses, peonies in season, and champagne-toned mixed bouquets work well.

Colours: Blush, cream and soft reds.
Bouquet styles: A luxury posy or a bottle-and-bloom hamper if you are celebrating as friends.
Symbolism: Romance is welcome; keep the card specific.
What to avoid: White lily sympathy styling.
