How to choose the most meaningful flowers
Choosing a bouquet of symbolic, meaningful flowers is easy when you know how. With Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions in place across many parts of the country, staying in touch with loved ones is more important than ever. Here are 5 ways to tell someone you care using flowers.
How to say: I Love You
Universally known as the flower of love, a red rose symbolises deep emotions, love and romance. But did you know that the number of roses you choose to send also tells a story?
One rose tells your recipient, “It’s love at first sight!” Two roses symbolise a deep and shared love while three roses say, “I love you.” And if you want to really step up your affections? Ten roses say “You’re perfect.” Now that’s meaningful!
How to say: I Miss You
As many of us are forced to stay at home due to Covid-19, we are missing our families and friends more than ever.
Adding carnations to your bouquet is a thoughtful way to tell someone you wish you could be with them. Pink and red carnations are both great options, however pink is often used to signify that someone is unforgettable.
Sending a loved one a red carnation also tells them you can’t wait to be with them again.
How to say: I Am Thinking of You
While the act of sending someone flowers typically says you are thinking of them, there are some flowers which will really do the job!
A blue salvia will not only add a pop of colour to your bouquet, but also declares “You’re on my mind.”
The aptly named Forget-Me-Not is another great option. This sentimental blossom, which symbolises both love and remembrance, is the perfect way to add extra meaning to your next arrangement.
How to say: Good Luck
Whether it’s an upcoming exam, work presentation, or a new job, adding colourful cornflowers to your bouquet will express the sentiment, “Good Luck”.
Many believe Cornflowers are a good luck charm that can be linked to wealth and good fortune. Add in as many or as little as you like – because you can never have enough luck in your life!
How to say: Thank You
Delicate, intricate, and fragrant, adding Sweetpeas to your bouquet is a great way to say thank you to someone special. Representing pleasure and gratitude, they are often used to show deep appreciation.
Hydrangeas are another great way to thank someone using flowers. According to a Japanese legend, hydrangeas became associated with heartfelt emotion and gratitude after an emperor gave them to the family of the girl he loved to show how much he cared.
With a rainbow of colours readily available, the only question is, which will you choose?
