Flower delivery is a powerful gift. Flowers symbolise love, friendship, gratitude, joy and more. Understanding what flowers mean will make it easy for you to send the perfect bouquet to someone on any occasion: birthdays, funerals, graduation, weddings, engagements, anniversaries and other occasions.
Flower language is a form of communication that uses floral gifts to send messages. Of course, the meaning behind these messages depend on the type of flower presented. Our online flower shop has different flowers with different meanings, so choose the correct flower and send it with a message to your loved one. In this blog post, we will explore the meaning of flower delivery and the significance of the most common flowers.
What do specific flowers represent?
Sunflowers may symbolise adoration and bring happiness along with signalling the start of cosy autumn and Christmas looming in the distance. Alstroemerias are a symbol of prosperity but also friendship. Gerberas represent cheerfulness and smiles, adding a pop of vibrant colours in each flower bouquet.
Calla Lily and amaryllis are typically associated with beauty, while anthurium represents hospitality and aster is a symbol of elegance and daintiness. Sweet William is a flower representing gallantry, carnation is for fascination and the stunning peony is the ultimate symbol of happy life and happy marriage. It is perfect for your idyllic wedding bridal bouquet.
Tulips declare love and hydrangeas are the symbol of heartfelt emotions; they make a statement in each flower bouquet or arrangement. Orchids, on the other hand, represent exotic beauty and refinement. They make for the perfect flower or plant gift to someone close to you.
Finally, the rose is of course the great symbol of love. Unsurprisingly, the colour of the rose plays a huge role. Red roses say “I love you”; white roses represent purity and a fresh start; pink roses are for happiness; yellow roses symbolise friendship; and orange roses signal a new relationship. The symbolism of the rose also depends on the number. Three roses say that you love the recipient’s company; six roses symbolise that you are on the way to love; twelve roses are used to say “be mine”; and a Magnificent bouquet of baby roses mean that your love is limitless.
