Flowers undoubtedly possess a huge amount of natural beauty and bring pleasure to the lives of many; however, for those suffering from hay fever they can prove to be an absolute nightmare - resulting in sneezing fits and causing eyes to itch.

Luckily though there are a number of wonderful pollen-free flowers out there - allowing hay fever sufferers to take in their spectacular vibrancy.

Many horticulturists �recommend gladioli, orchids, Agapanthus and irises as great purchases for those suffering from hay fever; this is because they give off a relatively small amount of pollen, which is low enough not to bring on hay fever symptoms.

However, traditional staples of a summer bouquet, such as lilies, should be avoided. Buying bouquets featuring these flowers is only likely to bring on the aforementioned symptoms - which isnt at all nice.

So if youre going to treat a hay fever sufferer to a bouquet this summer, make sure you treat them to one featuring pollen-free flowers.

Bioconst will use the DNA of Californian jellyfish, which will be spliced in with a number of flower varieties, with the aim of creating bouquets that emit a spectacular glow.

The researchers at the firm have previous experience in making flowers glow, having developed a fluorescent substance that can be sprayed on to flowers.

However, the new method - which will utilise the jellyfish DNA - will eradicate the need for a spray - with a glow being emitted once the lights have been turned out.

Vice president of Bioconst, Professor Mark Tester, commented on the companys plans.

He said: "They would look the same, until you turn the light and put them under a UV light. You wouldnt know theres any jellyfish there."

Then theres the location, the bridesmaid dresses, the photographer�the list can seem never ending.

So here are a few tips to help make choosing your wedding flowers a little easier � since there are thousands to choose from.

First of all, set a budget. Its a good idea to know how much you can spend, before beginning your search for the perfect bloom, as the price of wedding flower arrangements can really vary, depending on how delicate or exotic the flowers are and how many bouquets you want. So its best to set your limit first, and then tailor your search around that, before you fall in love with an arrangement you may not be able to afford.

Secondly, prioritise how you spend your cash. Use more of your budget for your bouquet, as this is the signature bloom of the ceremony. It will be in all your photos and will really help highlight your dress if chosen wisely. After your bouquet, your reception centrepieces should be top of your list.

Most of us will have heard at least one story of flowery overkill - stars such as Elton John are well-known for lavishly filling their homes with flowers. The singer once confessed to spending around �293,000 on flowers during a 20-month spending spree.

Now supermodel Kate Moss looks to be following in his footsteps, after moving into her new home in Highgate, North London.�Except this time it was not the supermodel herself who was buying the flowers. Beautiful bouquets, along with bottles of champagne, were kindly given to her by friends, who attended Kates house warming party.

The party started at a nearby pub, and then moved on to the house itself � an �8 million four-storey mansion with a wine cellar, handy for storing all those bottles of wine. Now all Kate needs to stock up on is vases.

Why not follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and her A-list pals, and give flowers as a lovely house-warming gift, next time someone you know moves house.

Hardworking mums, caring sisters, loving partners: International Womens Day (IWD) provides a great excuse to say thanks to the ladies in your life. In fact, getting a gift at any time of the year is cause for celebration.

The more politically-minded amongst may prefer to see IWD as a springboard for more change: with women still hitting the glass pay ceiling in employment in civilised Western states.

Whatever your outlook, heres a quick look at different ways International Womens Day is celebrated around the globe - from sending flowers to serious protests - which might inspire your plans for next year:

Give flowers

Flowers are a symbol of International Womens Day, and many countries celebrate by giving flowers as a gift. And now its not just traditional for boyfriends and husbands to send flowers to the women in their lives - but also bosses and colleagues too.

So next International Womens Day show your appreciation for the extraordinary women in your life by sending them flowers.

Take the day off

In some countries, such as Armenia and Kazakhstan, International Womens Day is officially recognised as a public holiday.� But in the UK, we still have to work on International Womens Day. No fair? Maybe next year, we should all book the day off.

Stand on a bridge

Rwandan and Congolese women started a campaign for gender equality called Join Me on the Bridge. The women were demonstrating that peace between the two countries was possible: by standing on the bridge which links Rwanda and the Congo together.

Today, women march on bridges in London, Boston, San Francisco, Toronto and New York on International Womens Day. If youre feeling politically active, get yourself down to a bridge on March 8 next year.

Protest

While in lots of countries, the holiday has introduced with a sentimental status, rather like Mothers Day or Valentines Day, it was originally born out of activism.

IWD was initially founded by Clara Zetkin, a German woman, in 1910.

Lots of women around the world still use March 8 as an opportunity to fight for many different causes, including political freedom, equal pay and working rights. If theres a cause youre passionate about, IWD provides a great opportunity to take part in a peaceful protest with like-minded ladies.
