When a friend or family member is feeling unwell, a thoughtful gesture can make all the difference. Flowers, with their vibrant colors and natural beauty, offer a perfect way to send your well wishes and provide a much-needed lift during a time of recovery. 

At Nancy's Floral, we understand the importance of choosing an arrangement that is not only beautiful but also mindful of the patient's healing environment. A well-chosen bouquet can be a beacon of hope and cheer, transforming a sterile hospital room or a quiet recovery space at home into a more comforting and optimistic place.

The Healing Power of Flowers

The positive impact of flowers on well-being is more than just anecdotal. Studies have shown that the presence of flowers can reduce stress, improve mood, and even contribute to a more positive outlook, all of which are crucial elements in the healing process. They serve as a gentle reminder that the recipient is cared for and supported, and they add a touch of color and life that can break up the monotony of a recovery period.

Choosing the Right Blooms for Recovery

When selecting a "get well" bouquet, the goal is to uplift without overwhelming. We recommend focusing on low-fragrance, bright, and long-lasting options that require minimal fuss.

• Gerbera Daisies: These are perhaps the quintessential "get well" flower. They come in a stunning array of bright, cheerful colors and have a very mild fragrance, making them a safe and uplifting choice. Their sunny disposition can instantly brighten a room and a patient's mood.
• Carnations: Often underestimated, carnations are a fantastic choice for a get-well arrangement. They are remarkably long-lasting, come in a wide spectrum of colors, and have a subtle, pleasant scent. Their hardy nature means your thoughtful gift will be enjoyed for an extended period.
• Alstroemeria: These intricate blooms, also known as Peruvian Lilies, offer a beautiful array of vibrant colors with very little fragrance. They have an excellent vase life, often staying fresh for weeks, providing lasting cheer and a continuous reminder of your support.
• Tulips: During their season, tulips offer elegant lines and cheerful colors with a minimal scent. They can bring a touch of springtime optimism into any room, symbolizing new beginnings and hope for a full recovery.
• Potted Plants: For a gift that truly lasts, consider a low-maintenance potted plant. A Peace Lily is a great air purifier with a serene elegance. A beautiful Orchid offers long-lasting, sophisticated blooms and is generally a low-allergen option. These are wonderful for a patient at home who can enjoy a living gift that continues to grow.

Important Considerations for Your Floral Gift from Nancy’s Floral

• Fragrance First: Always prioritize low-fragrance flowers. Strong scents can be irritating for a patient, particularly in a confined space.
• Vase and Size: Choose an arrangement that comes in a sturdy vase and is not overly large. A compact bouquet is easier for a patient to manage and won't take up too much space on a bedside table.
• Hospital Policies: If you are sending flowers to a hospital, always check their flower policy first. Some units, like the ICU or certain allergy-sensitive floors, have restrictions on floral deliveries.
• Delivery Information: For a smooth delivery, be sure to provide the patient's full name, room number, and the hospital's name and address.
