March 7th, 2011 Posted in florist news Tags: , ,
What is the most popular and renowned expression of love all around the world? Flowers: there is no better way to express your love. They have the capability to help convey what lies in your heart. Whether you want to surprise your loved one with flowers on a birthday, anniversary, or just because, it helps to learn the symbolism behind them to know which ones would be most appropriate for the occasion.


Roses are one of the most popular flowers to give as gifts; they are found in all types of arrangements ranging from wedding bouquets to more sombre arrangements like a funeral wreath. Below, there is a guide on what each colour of a flower symbolizes.  For advice and further information on your flower choice, view flowers by occasion at www.aryanflorist.com professional florists.


Daisies are often a bright bunch of flowers, ranging from a basic white to bright orange, yellow, and pink. They signify loyalty, so while they are a vivid choice for bringing a smile to your loved one’s face, they also show that you appreciate having them by your side through good and bad times.


Orchids are a less commonly-given flower, but they do carry special symbolism. Traditionally, they are meant to represent rare beauty, which makes them ideal for making the one you love feel extra special.


Lilies are found in several different varieties; there are calla lilies, tiger lilies, and daylilies. As their names might suggest, tiger lilies and day lilies are orange and yellow, respectively. These flowers signify purity and devotion, which make them ideal for a bouquet that you plan to give to your betrothed or to your spouse for a wedding anniversary.


Also, keep in mind the symbolism for the individual colours—the following are general guidelines for flower colours:


Red: passion, romantic love
Pink: new love, happiness
Yellow: friendship, devotion
White: innocence, purity, new life


If you find it hard to say “I love you,” consider saying it with flowers first. Although roses are probably the most popular, there are many combinations of flowers that you can add to a bouquet for a beautiful splash of colour. Even though flowers do not last forever, their symbolism does, and because of this, they are always a much-appreciated token of your love.
