The Season of Love…and FLOWERS!

As the number one flower-gift-giving holiday quickly approaches, we thought you may want to take a dive into the message that your gift sends. Red roses, yellow roses, white roses, so many choices – but there is more to that bouquet of flowers you get or give for Valentine’s day, and we are here to tell you just what those might mean!

RED: Symbolizes love, passion, strength, courage, and admiration

Red flowers make great gifts for your spouse or close loved ones.

YELLOW: Symbolizes friendship, joy, health, and success

Yellow flowers make great gifts for friends or someone who might need a little pick-me-up!

PINK: Symbolizes gentleness, innocence, and grace

Pink flowers are great gifts for children or a new romantic relationship.

BLUE: Symbolizes serenity, relaxation, and openness

Blue flowers are great additions in places of relaxation like a spa or a tropical oasis.

PURPLE: Symbolizes royalty, tradition, success and admiration

Purple flowers are great gifts for a boss or mentor.

WHITE: Symbolizes purity, innocence, and in some circumstances, sympathy

White is a great color for several situations – to give to children, to incorporate in with other colors, to show sympathy, or to brighten up someone’s day.

GREEN: Symbolizes renewal, good fortune, and good health

Green flowers are great for “get well soons” or a recent congratulatory moment.

So, when you’re picking out the flowers to give your significant other, child, friend, or mentor, be sure to remember these helpful “color hints”!
