Congratulations flower advice from Lin

Hi, I’m Lin. After 8 years of congratulations deliveries, here’s what I’ve learned: the bouquets that land aren’t always the biggest — they’re the ones timed for the moment. A $50 sunflower bouquet arriving on the morning of the promotion announcement lands harder than a $200 premium bouquet arriving 4 days later. Timing > size. For grand openings, the stand needs to arrive at least 30 minutes before the ribbon-cutting — late stands are an embarrassment. For graduations, deliver to the ceremony venue or to the family home before the celebration dinner. For SG citizenship or PR approvals, orchid arrangements (our national flower) carry special meaning. WhatsApp me for any custom design or timing coordination.
