The symbolism of flower colors is steeped in tradition.
In fact, every flower color from a deep red rose to a
bright yellow daffodil offers a rich and meaningful story dating back
thousands of years. The flower colors you choose for a bouquet can be as
important as the types of flowers used in an arrangement. |

| |
The pale blue hues of a hydrangea or the
deep blues of an iris can calm worries and preoccupation representing
peace, openness, and serenity, fresh floral arrangements filled with
blue flowers offers a cooling antidote to anxiousness. |

Think pink and you think of grace,
gentility, and happiness. Regardless of the shape of the flower – from
the tight, small buds of a pink garden rose to the delicate, open petals
of a pink caellia in full bloom – pink blossoms convey youth, innocence,
and joy. |
|

|
 |

With its origins tied to royalty and
ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success. Whether
grouped alone in a bold range of rich hues or mixed in with other colors
to provide depth and contrast, an arrangement filled with purple blooms
represents accomplishment and admiration. |
|
|
|
 |
|

There’s an indisputable energy to the
color red – an energy that has the power to transform an otherwise
unassuming flower into the essence of desire, strength, and passionate
love. With beauty, courage and heat as its symbolism, it’s no surprise
that a bouquet filled with rich, red blooms knows no restraint. |

Often associated with innocence,
humility, and reverence, white flowers evoke simple beauty. Whether they
take their shape as the luxurious, silk petals of fragrant gardenias,
the small, white bells of a lily of the valley, or the quiet drama of a
dozen white roses, fresh floral arrangement dominated by white blossoms
conveys modesty and elegance. |

There’s a good reason why it can feel all
but impossible to refrain from smiling when you spot a bouquet of bright
daffodils or a pot filled with sun-drenched chrysanthemums–the color
yellow evokes feelings of joy and lightheartedness. Also a symbol of
friendship, a bouquet bursting with yellow blooms sends a message of new
beginnings and happiness. |

There’s nothing bashful about the color
orange–its message is clear and blatantly proud. Symbolizing energy,
enthusiasm, and warmth, an arrangement of blooms in this vibrant color
conveys confidence, satisfaction and a passion for life. |
|

Synonymous with nature–and the perfect
complement to any other bloom–the color green represents health,
resilience, good fortune and youth. Whether used to throw together a
diverse mixture of shapes and hues or as a restful tone-on-tone bouquet,
green flowers send a message of optimism and renewal. |

While purple is the color of royalty, and
pink the color of youth, lavender is femininity all grown up.
Representing refinement, grace, and elegance, lavender holds an almost
sacred place in nature—with violet flowers often considered the most
delicate and precious. An arrangement filled with these genteel blossoms
send a message of feminine beauty. |
