When was the last time you did something sweet for your best friend, just because? With International Friendship Day around the corner, it's the perfect excuse to go beyond emojis and text messages.
Flowers are a warm, heartfelt way to say: “Thanks for being you.” with a Thank You bouquet.
As florists serving Irvine, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Newport Beach and nearby, we’ve seen firsthand how much impact a simple bouquet can have.
Whether you’re celebrating decades of friendship or just clicked with your new work buddy, flowers say it better than words ever could.
Why Flowers Are the Perfect ‘Thank You’ for Friendship
They Speak Volumes (Without a Single Paragraph)
Let’s be honest, most of us aren’t writing long letters anymore. But flowers? They speak.
A bunch of sunflowers radiates warmth and loyalty. Soft pink roses say, “You’re cherished.” Even a quirky combo of wildflowers can scream, “Only you would get this.”
We once had a customer who sent a bouquet of orange and yellow tulips to her college roommate every Friendship Day for five years straight. Tulips weren’t even her friend’s favorite, but they were the ones they snuck into their dorm room together that one spring semester. That’s the kind of memory that sticks.
They're Thoughtful and Personal
No two friendships are alike, and flowers let you tailor your message. Is your BFF the sunshine in your life? Go bright and bold. More of the sentimental type? Think soft pastels and delicate petals.
Custom flower arrangements are one of our favorite parts of the job. We love hearing stories like, “She always orders mint chocolate chip ice cream and cries at Pixar movies,” and then crafting a bouquet that fits that exact vibe.
Popular Friendship Day Flower Choices That Say “Thanks for Being You”
Sunflowers for Loyalty and Warmth
Sunflowers are like that one friend who always shows up when you need them most.
They’re strong, happy, and full of energy. Plus, they hold up well in the Southern California heat, making them a top pick for summer gifting in Irvine and Lake Forest.
One of our long-time clients orders a sunflower arrangement for her childhood best friend every July. She told us, “It’s our thing, big, loud flowers for our big, loud friendship.”
Gerbera Daisies for Joy and Brightness
These are for the friend who sends you memes at 2 a.m. and still listens to you vent during lunch breaks.
Gerberas come in an explosion of colors, and each one brings a boost of cheer. They’re ideal for those lighthearted, joyful friendships.
And hey, if you’re the friend who’s always the planner, these are your visual way of saying, “You bring color to my life.”
Mixed Bouquets for Shared Memories
Friendships aren’t one-note. They’re layered with inside jokes, tough talks, belly laughs, and road trip playlists.
Mixed bouquets capture that richness. We love blending roses, hydrangeas, and greenery to reflect all the ups and downs of a real, meaningful connection.
Got a unique story? Let us build a custom bouquet to match it.
How to Send Flowers on Friendship Day (Even If You’re Last-Minute)
Same-Day Flower Delivery in Irvine and Lake Forest
Busy schedule? Forgot to plan ahead? We’ve got you. Our luxury same-day flower delivery service covers both Irvine and Lake Forest, so your BFF can still get their flowers right on time, even if you remembered at breakfast and need them there by dinner.
Just pick your bouquet, drop the address, and we’ll take care of the rest. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way.
Add a Note or Little Extra
You don’t need to write a novel. Even something simple like, “You’ve always been there, thank you,” can hit home. Want to level it up? Add chocolates, a scented candle, or even a tiny succulent.
We had a customer once write, “You still owe me tacos, but here’s something better.” With the flowers, she added a mini hot sauce bottle. (We loved her creativity.)
Don’t Wait for Birthdays – Celebrate Friendship Just Because
Too often, we wait for birthdays, weddings, or big moments to send flowers. But Friendship Day is a gentle reminder to pause and appreciate the people who make our everyday life better.
Flowers don’t need a grand occasion. Sometimes “just because” means more than any holiday. That’s why we also offer monthly flower subscriptions, for those who want to turn small gestures into a consistent, beautiful habit.
Imagine your best friend getting a surprise bouquet every month, no reason, just love. (We’ve seen friendships get stronger with each delivery.)
