Say it with Flowers! - Flowers colours and their Meanings.

People adore receiving beautiful floral arrangements in their favourite colours or a mix of hues. Each colour carries its own meaning, allowing you to convey something extra special with your choice.

Red

Love, more than anything else, is symbolised by flowers in shades from crimson to scarlet. The intensity of the red correlates with the depth of the sentiment. Dark reds represent a selfless love, while brighter reds express intense passion. Whether the love is inspired by beauty, fervour, or bravery, red is the colour that embodies it.

Pink

While red represents deep and abiding love, pink is its youthful counterpart. Pink flowers symbolise innocent happiness. They convey a sense of care and playfulness, making them perfect for expressing filial rather than romantic love. Choose pink when you want your floral arrangement to have a lighthearted and cheerful touch

Orange

Warm but not overly sentimental, orange combines the passion of red with the joy of yellow. Flowers in shades from vermilion to ginger symbolise pride, energy, and confidence. Whether they form their own bouquet or add zest to an assorted arrangement, orange flowers exude vibrancy and fun.

Peach

Peach flowers convey more friendship than the sweet romance of pure pink blooms. Combined with orange and yellow, peach signifies gratitude and tenderness. On their own, peach flowers express a gentler yet profound sense of thankfulness. The true meaning of peach flowers is friendship.

Yellow

Nothing dispels gloom like yellow — not even pink. A yellow bouquet brings happiness, new life, and smiles, banishing melancholy. In a flower arrangement, yellow enhances the vibrancy of other colors. Foregoing romance for simple, unadulterated cheer, yellow carries one of the brightest symbolic meanings in flowers.

Green

Green is closely linked to nature and health. A standalone green bouquet symbolises regeneration, encompassing youth and good fortune. When mixed with other flowers, green continues to convey this message. Green is optimistic, vibrant, and refreshing. Revitalise your bouquet with the unique beauty of green.

Blue

The symbolic meaning of flowers in gentle blue is easily understood. Blue flowers cool anxiety and invoke peace, representing calm and tranquility. In a bouquet with other colours, they add a soothing ambiance.

Purple

Purple has long been associated with royalty. While you might not be gifting flowers to kings and queens, the symbolic meaning of purple flowers is one of deep respect and admiration. Success and a noble demeanour, even without royal titles, merit the recognition conveyed by meaningful purple flowers.

Lavender

Lavender, unlike regal purple, carries a more approachable vibe. It's modest yet mature and can be mixed with the most delicate of pastels, or enjoyed simply on it's own.

White

White embodies purity. Whether it's the purity of a bridal bouquet or the solemn purity and closure expressed at a funeral, flowers in pure white symbolise reverence and innocence like no other.

Pink and White

Infusing the purity of white with the youthful cheer of pink, flowers in this combination are ideal for holiday or celebratory occasions. The pink adds a touch of grace and gentleness that complements the innocence of white flowers. Together, they express affection for whoever receives them.

Red and White

Frequently representing unity, red and white roses also serve as the floral symbol for England. Yet, if you're not aiming to honour Britannia, incorporating a touch of white into your red bouquet, whether through separate flowers or in striped or variegated varieties, infuses innocence into the deep and passionate love signified by red.
