Let us start with the basic tips

Birthday

A bunch of flowers is an essential part of every birthday party. Flowers are normally just a “side-dish”, the extra to the main present. You may give either a single flower or a bunch of an arrangement –anything that you please. Until recently, It was not common to give flowers to a man, but now the traditions are changing. Still the man’s bunch is not identical to the woman’s - both the shape and the choice of colors are different. Corporate holidays and anniversaries should be mentioned and treated separately. A centerpiece is the best choice for a boss, together with a separate bunch for every manager.

New Year and Christmas

From the beginning of the 20th century when the Christmas officially was not marked by virtue of religious character of this holiday, New Year was replaced by Christmas, preserving the same value and many of its rituals. Now both the holidays are equally popular though New Year still remains the main holiday of year. As a gift, traditional Christmas wreaths and centerpieces decorated with candles, balls, bows and other decorations are pertinent. Poinsettia becomes more and more popular, this tradition has come from the West. We recommend that traditional celebratory tones are maintained in bouquets. The classic Christmas color scale - it red – white-green, while New Year's colors are white and gold though in our opinion all these colors are pertinent in a winter celebratory arrangement.

St. Valetntine’s

St. Valentine’s day is quite new to Kazakhstan, but year after year it becomes more and more popular and in the last two-three years it has been celebrated by everyone.

The choice of flowers on Valentine’s day should stick to holiday traditions. Valentine’s floristic traditions have been assimilated from the West as well as the very idea of the holiday. Red roses are the best choice. Heart-shaped accessories can give the valentine's look. almost to any bouquet If you want to impress your beloved one even more, you can give a heart-shaped arrangement.

March, 8

March, 8 - the International Women's day is as important for every Kazakhstan florist as St. Valentine’s day - for European florists. The prices for flowers increase twofold, the turnover beats all records. This day is one of the hardest for Kazakh men as EACH woman should receive flowers.

The choice of flowers is tremendous- both traditional red roses, and inexpensive bouquets of spring flowers - tulips, hyacinths and the Women's day special solidago are available.

Wedding

Gentle cream tones are the first choice for a bride, and strict contrast bouquets are more suitable for a bridegroom. If you go on ceremony, do not rush to buy the biggest and heavy bouquet, a small posy will create less discomfort. In case you go directly on wedding party, select a centerpiece.

One can hardly enumerate all the occasions to give flowers flowers: name-days, professional holidays, such as teachers’ day, new baby

Floral industry in Kazakhstan

Both imported locally grown flowers may be found in Kazakhstan. Home-grown are usually cheaper, but of the poor quality. Therefore, most florists prefer flower from Holland, Ecuador and Columbia. The large wholesalers normally have the same assortment as those in Europe and North America. Unfortunately, small regional companies reduce the assortment to the most popular flowers and do not use exotic flowers.

Kazakh retail market does not resemble the European at all. We would subdivide it into full-service flower shops with professional designer and unorganized sellers on the street, in stalls and markets. Unfortunately, the general influence of unorganized florists in negative, as the reduce prices and create problems for the professionals. Though, the Kazakh floral market is rapidly developing. Nowadays in every major city like one may find a couple of decent studios. But while a professional full-service florist in Alma-Aty or Astana is not something uncommon, you will not find a quality florist’s shop in smaller towns of Kazakhstan.

Nevertheless in our view, Kazakhstan flower market has great future.

Some basic rules

1. Never give an EVEN number of flowers unless for Funeral. And visa verse a Funeral arrangement must always contain an even number of flowers.

2. Be careful sending yellow flowers! There is a superstition in Kazakhstan which says that yellow flowers mean the end of relationship or jealousy.
