Our most frequently asked questions
Can I have retirement flowers delivered to the office on someone's last day?
Yes, office delivery is available, and timing it for their final day makes for a memorable send-off in front of colleagues. Just double-check their last working day in case plans shift, since retirement dates sometimes move around.
Can retirement flowers be ordered as a group gift from colleagues?
While Floom doesn't run a formal bill-splitting feature, it's common for one colleague to collect contributions and place a single, larger order on behalf of the group. A bigger, more elaborate bouquet is a nice way to reflect that it's from the whole team.
What should I write in a retirement card?
Retirement messages land best when they celebrate the person's career and wish them well for what's next — something like "Congratulations on this new chapter, you've earned every bit of it." A specific memory or thank-you for their mentorship adds a personal touch.
What flowers or colours suit a retirement celebration?
Warm, celebratory tones like gold, yellow, and orange feel fitting for a career well spent, while softer colours suit a quieter, more sentimental send-off. There's no strict rule here — it's more about matching the retiree's personality than following convention.
Is it appropriate to send retirement flowers to a boss or someone I don't know that well?
Absolutely — retirement is one of those occasions where flowers from colleagues, even ones you don't know intimately, are always welcome. Keep the card professional and appreciative rather than overly personal.
What's a typical budget for a retirement bouquet, especially if it's a group gift?
Because retirement gifts are often pooled from several colleagues, the bouquets tend to be larger and more generous than a typical individual gift. If you're ordering solo, a mid-range bouquet with a thoughtful card is more than appropriate.
Are there flowers that symbolise "new beginnings" for retirement?
Yes — irises and daffodils are often associated with new starts and optimism, which suits the "next chapter" spirit of retirement nicely. Bright, fresh blooms in general tend to capture that same forward-looking feeling.
