Make it about what they did.
They finished the degree, started the business or earned the promotion. Name the achievement when you describe the gift. It helps give the flowers a point of view: a bright entrance, a quiet acknowledgment or something they can enjoy after a busy day.
Think about their taste before choosing a palette. School colors can be one direction for a graduation, but so can the colors they wear or keep at home. Share the combination you like and ask Claudia which flowers could work for the date and budget.
Picture the moment you hand them over.
After the ceremony
A wrapped bouquet gives them something to hold for the congratulations and photographs. Consider what else they will carry and how they will travel afterward.
A new chapter at work
For a desk or reception area, discuss a vase arrangement and a size that fits. Check whether the recipient can receive flowers at work before planning the handoff.
A gathering at home
If they are hosting, think about available table space and whether the flowers are a personal gift or part of the gathering. Tell Claudia which role you have in mind.
Put their achievement in the note.
“You worked so hard for this. I’m proud of you.” Or, “Here’s to everything you’ll do next.” A short message that names their effort can say more than a long formal congratulations. Include your name, especially when the flowers are from a group.
Share the occasion date and when you plan to give the flowers. For a graduation or event, check the venue’s rules and arrange a practical handoff; flowers do not need to spend the afternoon in a hot car. Confirm availability and timing directly with Claudia.
A bouquet to hold. Flowers to come home to.
Explore the two presentations, save a reference you like, then discuss the palette and scale. The photographs can help you explain your idea without needing to know every flower’s name.

Tell Claudia what they are celebrating, your date, your budget and whether you will give the flowers in person or ask about delivery. Mention any venue or workplace instructions you already know.
