The symbolism of flower colors

Every flower color offers a rich and meaningful story dating back thousands of years. The flower colors you choose for a bouquet can be as important as the types of flowers used in an arrangement.
blue flowers
The pale blue hues of a hydrangea or the deep blues of an iris can calm worries and preoccupation representing peace, openness, and serenity.
pink flowers
Think pink and you think of grace, gentility, and happiness.
purple flower
With its origins tied to royalty and ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success.
red flowers
There’s an energy to the color red – essence of desire, strength, and passionate love.
white flowers
Often associated with innocence, white flowers evoke simple beauty, modesty and elegance.
yellow flowers
The color yellow evokes feelings of joy and lightheartedness, also a symbol of friendship.
orange roses
Symbolizing energy, enthusiasm, and warmth, an arrangement of blooms in this vibrant color conveys confidence, satisfaction and a passion for life.
green flowers
Synonymous with nature–and the perfect complement to any other bloom–the color green represents health, resilience, good fortune and youth.
lavender flowers
While purple is the color of royalty lavender represents refinement, grace, and elegance.
