New Baby Flowers and Plants

If you are a person without children of your own, or have kids that are all grown up and out of the house, you may be unfamiliar with what new parents want, or which new baby flowers will make the biggest impact on the growing family. The good news for you is that FTD has the knowledge to curate the best new baby flowers and plants and the know-how to create floral masterpieces to celebrate the newest family member.

Do you send flowers when someone has a baby?

If you want to! It is customary to give a gift to welcome a new baby and congratulate the mother—flowers are a perfect way to do that! New baby flowers are an excellent gift for new parents as they inject positivity, energy, and love into any room—something they will surely enjoy as they transition into this new chapter. We also have adorable new baby gifts filled with soft and snuggly bears and blankets, as well as other essentials that both parents and babies will appreciate.

What flowers do you give for a new baby?

A beautiful bouquet of new baby flowers is always well received, especially if you choose flowers that have the perfect meaning. Typically, if you're sending a baby bouquet, you want to choose a colorful arrangement that radiates joy, love, and excitement. Choosing the flowers by color is the best way to ensure you send the right message. Here are a few of the blooms we recommend for a baby bouquet:

• Yellow lilies, roses, alstroemeria, and sunflowers: the bright hue of these flowers convey happiness for their new bundle of joy.
• White daisies, lilies, hydrangea, and tulips: white flowers represent hope, purity, and perfection—just like a new baby.
• Pink roses, lilies, tulips, and orchids: the color of love and sweetness, pink flowers always make a great gift for mom or daughter.

For a bouquet of baby boy flowers, our Beyond Blue Hydrangea arrangement or Beyond Blue™Bouquet are popular choices. Pair either of these with our It's a Boy Cardalloon to really give him a warm welcome. For a baby girl bouquet, our You’re Precious Bouquet or Bold Pink Calla Lily Plant make great accents to her new room.

Can newborns be around fresh flowers?

Yes, newborns can be around fresh flowers! Meaning those sunflowers, roses, daisies, or any other baby flower arrangements you have been eyeing will make the perfect  new baby gifts  for those brand new parents. Oh, and don’t forget to throw in a balloon delivery, too! The brand-new parents in your life will be thankful that you are sending them love and support, even if you are far away. If you do find that you are in town and near them, though, don’t be afraid to drop off a pre-made meal or two for them to enjoy. They will be so relieved to know that they have an easy-to-prepare meal ready to go when they are both lacking sleep from being up for midnight feedings. And for the final cherry on top of this celebration of their new bundle of joy, don’t be afraid to send one of FTD’s sweet treats gift baskets for them to munch on throughout their days.
