International Women’s Day: Celebrate, Appreciate, and Elevate the Women in Your Life

Alright, darlings, let’s talk March 8th—International Women’s Day, the one day a year entirely dedicated to celebrating the extraordinary women in our lives. And let’s be real, this should be happening every day because women are doing the most—leading, creating, nurturing, breaking barriers, holding everything together with style and grace. So, of course, they deserve to be celebrated in a way that feels elegant, intentional, and fabulous.

And what’s one of the easiest, chicest ways to make someone feel seen, appreciated, and utterly divine? Flowers. Not just any flowers, but fresh, luxurious, expertly designed florals that instantly say, “You are extraordinary, and I want you to know it.”

At Nectar Flowers Ottawa, we believe that flowers should be as timeless and effortless as a perfectly tailored suit. Whether you’re going for soft and romantic, bold and dramatic, or a burst of color that says, ‘Yes, I have impeccable taste’—we’ve got you covered. So let’s talk about why flowers are the move for Women’s Day and how to elevate your gifting game this year.

A Little History (Yes, You’ll Love This One)

So where did this all start? International Women’s Day began in the early 1900s as a movement for women’s rights, and over time, it has evolved into a worldwide celebration of power, progress, and the magic that women bring to every space they enter.

Somewhere along the way, flowers became a key part of the tradition—because let’s be honest, what better way to honor someone than with something beautiful, refined, and full of life? In Italy, mimosa flowers are the Women’s Day staple, representing strength and resilience. In Poland and Ukraine, tulips and roses are the go-to gift. And in North America, the tradition of giving flowers is quickly becoming a must—because, darling, who wouldn’t want a gorgeous bouquet on a day that’s all about them?

Flowers aren’t just a nice touch. They’re a statement—a way of saying, “I see you, I admire you, and the world is better because of you.”

Why Flowers Make the Ultimate Gift (Hint: It’s Science, Love)

Flowers aren’t just aesthetically pleasing—they are literally proven to boost mood, reduce stress, and bring joy. Yes, darling, you heard that right. Fresh blooms are basically nature’s way of saying, "You deserve happiness."

And let’s talk about color psychology, because every bouquet sends a message:

• Yellow flowers = Pure sunshine energy—joyful, warm, and uplifting.
• Purple & blue tones = Understated elegance—calm, regal, and oh-so-sophisticated.
• Soft roses = Timeless admiration—think gratitude, appreciation, and a touch of romance.
• Tulips = The ultimate ‘fresh start’ flowers—symbolizing renewal, growth, and pure chicness.

When you send flowers, you’re not just gifting a bouquet—you’re curating a moment—and darling, we love a well-curated moment.
