A note about the flowers: It is a Serbian custom that when flowers are presented as gifts—for example, for birthdays or romantic occasions—the bouquet must contain an odd number of stems (e.g., 3, 5, 21, etc.). Arrangements consisting of an even number of blooms are appropriate only as a gift for the deceased (i.e., brought to a funeral).
