Strengthening traditions: flowers as a gift on the Eighth of March

With great excitement, the better half of humanity awaits the Eighth of March. Valentine's Day and Dragobete recently passed. The lovers said and heard many kind words addressed to each other. But March 8 is precisely the Women's Day, the day of celebration of Her Majesty the Beautiful Lady.

According to tradition, dating back to the dawn of the 20th century, the strong half of humanity strives at the very beginning of spring to especially express their gratitude, love, and adoration to mothers, grandmothers, loved ones and colleagues. In many countries, this holiday is marked by the veneration of femininity, beauty, and tenderness despite differences in understanding its significance.

How it’s celebrated in other countries?

For example, Women's Day, which coincides with the Eighth of March, is known as «Dzień Kobiet» in Poland. All events on this day – concerts, exhibitions, opening days – are aimed at women. Having a family meal at home or in a cafe in the morning is customary. Women receive flowers, gifts, and congratulations from friends, family, and colleagues throughout the day. 

In the United States, although March 8 is recognized as International Women's Day, it is less popular than, for example, Mother's Day, which is celebrated in May. However, some communities and cities host forums celebrating women's achievements in science, the arts, and business.

In the UK, in addition to the generally accepted 8 March, Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day), celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, is common. On this day, children and grandchildren give their mothers and grandmothers gifts and flowers, and the whole family gets together for a traditional dinner. 

In Spain, Women's Day, or «Día de la Mujer», also falls on March 8 and often becomes the occasion for official meetings where gender equality issues are vigorously discussed. But they don’t forget about flowers and gifts for ladies here either.

These are just a few notes about how Women's Day responds to the planet. Despite different attitudes and cultural backgrounds, one thing remains the same – the ability to thank the women who play an essential role in our lives. And one of the most elegant and irreplaceable ways to emphasize your feelings is always flowers. 

How is it in XOstudio FLOWERS? 

The florists of XOstudio FLOWERS work on these «hot» days with great enthusiasm, creating compositions that amaze the imagination with the selection of flowers, the design of bouquets, and their semantic content. Just look at the alluring names – the bouquet «Spring Compliment», «Spring», the box with flowers «Pearl of Love», the weightless composition «Meringue», the bouquet «Gentle Light» and many others, none of which is the same as the other. They are all different, each with its own floral twist and mystery, giving men a chance to order a bouquet tailored to their beloved ladies' character, age, mood, and even occupation. 

Of course, tulips are among the favorites in our studio these days, striking in their various colors: fragile hyacinths, exotic delicate mimosa, and daffodils. However, next to them in the bouquet harmoniously coexist royal roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, ranunculus, and gerberas – the fantasies of our florists are not limited. With compositions from XOstudio FLOWERS, you will turn the day of March 8th into a real «Flower Waltz» in the «Cloud of Love».

Among our offers, you will find Premium bouquets made from the most exquisite types of flowers. Mono/duo bouquets of seasonal or classic plants. Airy baskets and boxes of flowers filled with romance and warmth. A great surprise in addition to the bouquet will be soft toys or a greeting card, which can also be purchased on the website xoflowers.md or directly in the studio on Teatralny Lane in Chisinau.

Offer to companies from XOstudio FLOWERS

For corporate clients and companies we offer a service – to congratulate office ladies and colleagues at the enterprise on this significant day. We are ready to create individual compositions that will reflect the corporate style and simultaneously transfer the warmth and joy of this holiday into the work environment.

A little about symbolism

Each flower carries a specific message. For lovely ladies of different ages, you can buy a bouquet with appropriate symbols from us. For young girls, sisters, or relatives, try choosing a composition of openwork carnations or spray roses in pastel shades – romance and youth are hidden in them. Tulips are ideal as the personification of spring enthusiasm. 

For older ladies, choose brighter and richer bouquets: chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, and gerberas, for example, in red, burgundy, or lilac tones. Of course, this is only a recommendation – everything is individual because every man knows best what flowers to give to the women dear to his heart.
