These are very beautiful, full flowers, but only readily available in November. They are sure to impress that someone special, or be a great compliment in any house.

2. End of exams/formals/graduations.

Many students sit their final exams in November, so a pretty, congratulatory bouquet will be a nice touch. Also, corsages are a must-have accessory to that end of year formal.

3. Melbourne Cup.

Fascinators are mandatory for a Melbourne Cup Day, as well as the rest of the Spring Racing Carnival. Floral fascinators are so much more fascinating! A gentleman should sport a flowery boutonnière. Also, if you are hosting a Melbourne Cup function, have flowers on your tables. Remember that a party without flowers is just a meeting!
