Which flowers should you give for graduation in Florence?

Graduation flowers become part of the photographs and the celebration. Choosing well means thinking about the graduate's preferences and arranging to have the flowers ready when they are needed.

The laurel crown

The corona di alloro is a familiar symbol of academic achievement in Italy. It may be plain or decorated with flowers, berries or ribbon. It is a tradition rather than a requirement for every ceremony, so check what the graduate wants and any guidance from the institution.

Explore our graduation collection for current designs and prices. A particular decoration or fit should be discussed before ordering.

A bouquet alongside the crown

A bouquet can accompany a crown or be the gift on its own. Choose a manageable size for someone moving between a ceremony, photographs and a celebration. A palette that connects with the crown or outfit can bring the photographs together without overwhelming the person.

For a formal setting, a restrained arrangement may suit the occasion; for someone who enjoys unusual colour, a more expressive design can be appropriate. These are choices about the person, not rules imposed by their subject of study.

Order ahead

Allow at least 24 hours, and preferably 48 hours during busy graduation periods. Bespoke requests may need several days and confirmation of materials. Fiorit does not offer same-day delivery.

Plan the handover

Delivery is available on working days within the served Florence area, without a guaranteed exact time. If access to a university building or venue is restricted, contact us before ordering. Writing a ceremony time in the notes does not reserve a delivery appointment.

Collection from the laboratory by appointment on a suitable earlier day can be easier for an early ceremony. Use RITIROBOTTEGA at checkout to deduct the delivery component, and agree the appointment with us.

Frequently asked questions

Should I give both a crown and a bouquet?

You can, but it is not compulsory. Consider what the graduate would enjoy and what other guests are organising.

Will the flowers last through the celebrations?

Fresh flowers need sensible care. Keep them cool before use and ask for advice about your specific design; no arrangement has an unconditional lifespan guarantee.

Can I add a message?

Yes. Enter the text during your order and check it carefully.
