Meanings of colours
Flowers have been around as long as language, and people have been talking about them since early days. A whole area of flower meanings, superstitions and customs has grown up in different cultures.
Brides don’t carry a white bouquet in the far east as white flowers are associated with deaths and funerals: not something a wedding party wants reminded of! In most cultures white means peace and also innocence and so is not only popular for funerals, memorials etc but appropriate for a young bride’s flowers.
Red means passion and red roses are the ultimate lover’s gift, whether you send a dozen red roses or a single rose in a box .
Yellow means friendship in some cultures. A floral gift in yellow is cheerful and makes no claims of passion, innocence or even peace. Give a gift of bright yellow sunshine!
Blue flowers are more rare than the other colours in standard florists blooms – its very originality can make blue a splendid gift. Match the colour of her eyes with a bright cornflower blue.
Pink is increasingly popular with girls and women. So much so that many would not send a pink bouquet to a man.
So if you are not entirely decided on one colour or another why not send a lovely mixed bouquet! Leave it up to our florists here at www.flowers24hours.co.uk to choose the best flowers that we have on the day.
