The Color of Flowers

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.

blue flowers

The pale blue hues of a hydrangea or the deep blues of an iris can calm worries and preoccupation representing peace, openness, and serenity.




pink flowers

Think pink and you think of grace, gentility, and happiness.





purple flowers

With its origins tied to royalty and ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success.


red flowers
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.


white flowers


Often associated with innocence, humility, and reverence, white flowers evoke simple beauty.




yellow flowers
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.


orange roses

There’s nothing bashful about the color orange–its message is clear and blatantly proud. Symbolizing energy, enthusiasm, and warmth.




green flowers

Synonymous with nature–and the perfect complement to any other bloom–the color green represents health, resilience, good fortune and youth.




lavender flowers


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.
