Today, most shoppers choose their fresh flowers based upon their aesthetic preference or because the flowers represent an important association such as an anniversary or birthday. However, for your enjoyment, here are some of the fun symbolic meanings that have been applied to flowers. Send a fresh flower bouquet featuring the flower that communicates a secret message to really show your attention to detail and thoughtfulness!
The rich, lustrous rose is a dignified and romantic messenger of love’s gladness. For centuries the beautiful and mysterious rose has communicated messages of love, fidelity, excitement, and unbound passion.
To gaze upon a beautiful, brightly colored fresh flower arrangement is to experience pure emotion. Depending on the color of the arrangement or bouquet, the emotion one feels will be slightly different. From the deep passionate red of a rose to the elegant white of a calla lily, to the exuberance concentrated in a bouquet of golden tulips, the color of flowers sends an emotional message. Over the centuries these messages have been written down and exchanged as the symbolic meaning flowers express. Consider these meanings when choosing the next fresh flower bouquet you wish to send so that your flowers communicate exactly what you intend.
