International Women's Day is a global movement to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and drive gender parity. Celebrate the amazing women in your life by sending them a bouquet of their favourite blooms. With next-day and same-day delivery, why not remind her how amazing she is? You can also pair the flowers with a thoughtful note expressing your appreciation and admiration.
International Women's Day takes place every year on March 8.
On this day, we commemorate the solidarity and militancy of women around the world. This started as a result of a strike in the twentieth century when women stood up for their rights, such as the right to work and vote. Today, this is - still - high on the agenda at the United Nations and the Government also pays attention to International Women's Day.
Whether it is your wife, girlfriend, mother, daughter, sister or colleague, everyone has one or more special women in his or her life. Euroflorist helps you to send a beautiful bouquet to those special women! Choose a beautiful bouquet from our special category for International Women's Day and we will do the rest.
Nowadays, this day is mostly celebrated to show appreciation and respect for women. Although this should be the absolute norm in our society, there is still a long way to go. Expensive gifts are not the norm on International Women's Day. More than the gift, it is the attention paid to this special day, as well as its symbolic significance, that is emphasized. Small gifts are, of course, welcome and beautiful flowers, good chocolates or a nice card are perfect to mark the occasion.
Well... we get this question quite from our customers! To help you choose, we have gathered some interesting information below.
Red flowers: Celebrating International Women's Day has not always been a given, especially during World War II. However, even during times when this celebration was banned, women kept on celebrating it. As a sign of participation, they used to hang red linen hanging out the window. The red color, and by extension red flowers, became one of the symbols of International Women's Day.
Carnations: Why are carnations the best gift for International Women's Day? On March 8, 1911, women took to the streets for the first time to campaign for women's suffrage. In doing so, they were encouraged to wear a red carnation on the lapel of their jacket as a sign of equality. Since then, this has become a tradition during marches or celebrations on Women's Day although some wear the carnation in their hair or in their hand. Carnations are therefore an especially good choice for Women's Day, especially red carnations.
