We love beautiful things and we like feeling appreciated from time to time. It's nice! Here are my top ten picks out of the many flower arrangements that FTD offers.

Best for: Bride-to-Be
My Comment: This makes me think of a gorgeous fall wedding when I look at it; graceful, elegant, neatly arranged, and a bit romantic too. Again, there's that good luck thing going on with the 13 flowers and it's always nice to send good wishes to a bride-to-be for an excellent future with her soon-to-be groom. This bouquet goes great with a gift card or a nice money card tucked in between the flowers.

Occasion: Baby Shower
Best for: Mother-to-Be
My Comment: This bouquet is simple, sweet, and comes with chocolates! It's a perfect special treat, for both the eyes and the taste buds for a mother-to-be. It's a great way to show her you're thinking about her and if she's craving chocolates when she gets it, she'll love you for it.
Price: $50.00 at ftd.com
Occasion: Anniversary
Best for: Wife
My Comment: As a truly romantic combination, these FTD flowers are the types of roses that blush in the sunlight and come with a .13 ounce bottle of Vera Wang fragrance. These roses smell amazing, but when the petals have all been dried and added to a sachet in the bottom of the underwear drawer, she will still have the perfume to dab behind her ears. Each time she wears it she will think of the gorgeous deep red roses that came with it on the anniversary and can you think of a more romantic flower? I bet it will bring a smile to her face each time!

Occasion: A Pick-me-up
Best for: Anyone in need of cheering up
My Comment: Stargazer lilies are so exotic looking and always cheery. What's nice about these lilies is that they smell good too. There is a little bit of pink statice arranged in between the lilies for an accent. The combination is sure to cheer any one up the instant it's presented. I don't think that it has to be a woman receiving this either; I'm sure it would brighten up even a guy's day if he's feeling a bit blue.

Occasion: Mother's Day
Best for: Mother
My Comment: I would definitely give something like this to my mother for Mother's Day. It's such a round little bouquet that it looks like something that a mother would love. There are roses, asters, and carnations all packed into this precious bouquet. I think it is a great variety, but not so busy that it takes away from the simple beauty it exudes.
I don't think any of these FTD flowers are too pricey at all. The cost is extremely reasonable for the quality of flowers, vases, and for the joy they will bring to whoever gets them. What a lovely treat! Hopefully this list will help out those of you who are struggling to make a decision as to which bouquet will be just the right one. Do you send flowers, and for which occasions? Who would you send these gorgeous FTD flowers to?
