Every stunning bloom, from the pink peony to the purple hydrangea, has a meaningful story to tell us. We have chosen some flower colours to help you uncover true meaning of flower colours and the hidden messages and symbolism, to help you choose the right bouquet to deliver to the special person in your life. 

Orange Flowers 

Orange flowers are generally associated with joy and enthusiasm. These vibrant stems are the perfect way to add a splash of sunshine to any flower bouquet or arrangement! Some of the best-loved orange flowers are marigolds, tulips, and zinnias. 

Pink Flowers 

Pink flowers symbolise happiness and gentleness and are one of the most common colours. As pink is generally considered feminine, they are often the colour of choice for Mother’s Day. Pink carnations, pink lilies and pink peonies are the top choices for our flower bouquets for those special occasions.  

White Flowers 

White flowers are generally associated with innocence, peace and purity. White flowers are sometimes used in bridal bouquets and are more commonly used when paying tribute or sending sympathy. 

Purple Flowers 

Purple flowers are normally associated with charm and elegance but can equally symbolise romance.  Some popular purple flower choices include irises and purple hydrangeas. Both are simply stunning! 

Blue Flowers 

Blue flowers are most associated with relaxation and are the perfect flower colour to present to someone who is going through a stressful time. Similar to the feeling you get when you look at the bright blue ocean or a clear blue sky, blue flowers help to relax and calm the mind. Our favourite blue flowers are blue hydrangeas, the perfect addition to a mixed flower bouquet or simply perfect on their own.
