Speaking Flower Language: What Does Your Arrangement Say?

April 18, 2022

If you’ve ever stopped to smell the roses, you might have also stopped to wonder what it means to gift a certain type of flower.

Gifting flowers is a tradition that originated in Turkey and can be traced back to Ancient Greece. During the Victorian era, it was considered improper to express emotion verbally and so flowers were used to convey feelings such as love, sympathy, or remorse.

Giving someone flowers means understanding flower language and expressing yourself with the right floral arrangement.

If you want to put together the perfect bouquet, you have to pick flowers that reflect your feelings.

Keep reading to learn more about flower language and how to select flowers for every occasion.

What Is Floriography?

Floriography is also known as the language of flowers. This encompasses everything from the type of flowers, to the colors, and the way they’re arranged in a bouquet. Understanding floriography makes flower-giving much more significant.

Say It With Flowers

There are flowers for occasions like anniversaries, celebrations, and funerals, to name a few. Before you give a bouquet, you must understand the meaning behind the flower. Certain flowers that you might give a romantic partner might not be appropriate to express feelings such as sympathy.

Romantic Love

Many people love to receive flowers from their significant others. If you don’t know your partner’s favorite flower, these are wonderful options that express love:

  • Classic red roses for eternal love
  • Red carnations for pure love and affection
  • Red tulips for true love

You can give a bouquet with just one type of flower or you can create a floral arrangement with an assortment of these romantic flowers. The right florist can help you put together the perfect bouquet.

Sympathy

Condolences and sympathy are given in delicate situations like funerals. These flowers are common to help you express your feelings to someone during this difficult time:

  • White lilies for purity of the soul
  • Orchids for strength and sympathy
  • White roses for humility

For someone in mourning, these flowers honor the loss of a loved one. They also represent the innocence of the soul who has passed.

Friendship

Many of us associate friendship with love, laughter, and happiness. The flowers that express these emotions are bold, bright, and full of life such as:

  • Sunflowers for loyalty
  • Freesias for trust
  • Yellow roses for joy

These are all great choices to express your love and admiration for a friend. They make a great addition to a fun and colorful bouquet.

Expressing Yourself Through Flower Language

It’s not always easy to express your feelings towards a loved one. When done right, flowers are an elegant way to express a variety of emotions. Learning flower language will help you put together the perfect arrangement and delight your loved one for any occasion.
