Flowers have been more than just a beautiful sight in a vase for centuries. They carry a language of their own: a way to express feelings and messages without words. In Victorian times, this “flower language” was even used as a secret form of communication. Today, flowers still hold meaning and add an extra layer of emotion to any bouquet.
🌹 Roses
The most well-known messengers. Red symbolizes love and passion, pink stands for tenderness and appreciation, and white for purity and innocence. A single bouquet of roses can tell an entire story.
🌸 Lilies
Symbolize purity, elegance, and a new beginning. Perfect for wishing someone success in a new chapter of life, or as a sign of admiration.
💐 Hydrangeas
Stand for gratitude, abundance, and deep emotions. With their full bloom, they are ideal for showing appreciation or celebrating a relationship.
🌺 Orchids
Radiate luxury and refinement. They symbolize beauty, strength, and mystery – a flower suited for special moments and elegant gifts.
🌼 Chrysanthemums
Have different meanings around the world. In the Netherlands, they often stand for happiness and long life, while in Asia they are linked to health and prosperity.
🌷 Tulips
The symbol of the Netherlands, but in the language of flowers they mean love and warmth. Red for deep love, yellow for cheerfulness, and white for forgiveness.
🌹 Carnations
Also carry their own message. White carnations stand for purity and loyalty, red for admiration, and pink for gratitude.
💜 Irises
Represent hope, inspiration, and trust – often given to encourage someone or to wish them success.
✨ In the end
Behind every bouquet lies a hidden message. Whether you choose roses to declare your love, hydrangeas to express gratitude, or orchids to highlight beauty and luxury – flowers speak a universal language that everyone understands. 🌸
