First Date Silk Flowers Prove that Chivalry is Alive and Blooming.

Leave a lasting impression when you give her silk flowers on your first date.

How do you prepare for your first date with a lady? Maybe your routine involves a workout to quell your nervousness, or some favorite music, or a trip to the carwash, a little hair gel, some cologne, or a breath mint.

Whether it’s your first date in years, or if you have a preparatory routine in place, I’d like to suggest an addition to your spit-and-polish circuit. Silk flowers.

Yes, my friend, as a breathing, flesh-and-blood woman, I’ll attest to the fact that, even if chivalry is struggling beneath a cover of bad dates and ghastly behavior, it is channeling through single women everywhere. The majority of us want it. And the rest wouldn’t argue if it came their way.

Now, hold on Romeo. Don’t run out and grab the usual. Think it through. Join me to learn the dos and don’ts of first date silk flowers.

Some attention will need to be given to your silk flower offering, but with a bit of consideration, you’re sure to wow her with your kindheartedness and gentlemanly ways.


Silk Flowers for the Allergic Date

I know. You might ask, “How am I supposed to know if my date is allergic to flowers?” Chances are, you won’t. That’s why it’s a good idea to choose silk flowe rs over their pollen-laden counterparts. Could anything be more unromantic than subjecting your love prospect to a sneezing fit…complete with a runny nose and runnier mascara?


Your Date Might Look Like a Beauty Queen…
That Doesn’t Mean She Wants to Parade Like One

Every girl loves flowers. Not every girl wants to parade through a restaurant with a bouquet of silk flowers on her arm.

If you choose to present your date with silk flowers, only do so if you’re picking her up at her place. That way, she can leave them at home. Few women enjoy being burdened, or feeling awkward, while having to think about where to put her flowers while she dances, eats, or enjoys a show.

If you’re meeting your date at a neutral spot, and the date goes well, consider sending silk flowers to her home or office the next day.


Match Silk Flowers to Your Date

Not all first dates are created equally. Some are blind dates, in which you’ve never seen your date’s face, or heard her voice. Others are initiated on dating sites or through matchmaking services (you may only have limited information about your date). Others are kicked off following a friendship, or are long-awaited romantic meetings, after months or years of remote communication.

Fashion your silk flower gift around your first date story. Presenting a blind date with a silk flower arrangement elaborate enough for a bride will not only make her uncomfortable, but will speak of serious, long term intentions. Serious intentions can be a serious turn off on a first date.

Another culprit in disguise can be the red rose. Red roses do, indeed, signify classic chivalry, but with a passionate, even intimate, message. Just as you wouldn’t bring her dandelions for fear of insulting her, you shouldn’t go too far in the other direction.

Some suggestions for first date silk flowers (from most pure to slightly suggestive) include:

 Daisies are some of the most innocent of silk flowers, recalling childhood and pure intentions.

 Sunflowers make no assumptions, and convey cheerfulness and warmth.

 Chrysanthemums send a message that says, “No expectations,” and symbolize joyfulness and optimism.

 In general, flower buds speak of a heart’s purity and possibility. White buds are especially effective in saying, “Love is new for me.”

 White roses suggest pure thoughts and innocent admiration.

 Add ivy to white roses, and their message is amped up to speak for your willingness to be loyal.

 White violets say that you’re open for possibility.

 Hawthorne tells your date that you’ve been waiting in anticipation.

 Forsythia is indicative of your feelings of eagerness and excitement.


You may choose to enlighten your date to the meaning of the silk flowers you’ve chosen, or you can leave it to her intuition. Flowers carry messages beyond their historical significance…they naturally evoke particular feelings in a majority of people. In other words, if you choose silk flower gifts carefully, she’s going to get the idea.


Why Silk Makes Sense

Silk flowers are not what they used to be. You may remember your grandmother’s plastic replicas, or your mother’s arrangements that weren’t much better than her mother’s. Today’s silk flowers are more realistic than ever, and offer a viable alternative to the real thing…so viable that many folks choose them over authentic blooms, for their beauty, ease of care, and longevity.

Offering a single silk flower stem, or a bunch, to a lady sends the broad message that you are a gentleman, and compares her beauty to that of an artful creation. More specifically, the number, type, and color of flowers offered send more targeted, personal messages. Tailor your gift to what you know about your date…whether its one stem’s, or a whole bouquet’s, worth.

Long after the food, the wine, the lights on the river fade, the silk flowers that marked the beginning of your first date will be as vibrant as they were on the day they were bestowed. Whether that first date lives on as a single meeting, or leads to a lifetime of happiness together, the silk flowers that accompanied you to her doorstep will remain. A single white silk rose, or a sheath of silk forsythia, will live on…to prove that chivalry will live on as long as gentlemen will deliver it.
